Breaking Ungodly Soul Ties
A soul tie refers to an emotional and spiritual connection between two people that can develop through intimate relationships, such as romantic partnerships, friendships, or even family bonds.
Soul ties can be positive, fostering deep understanding and support, such as the bond between a husband and wife. Mark 10:8 says, “and the two shall become one flesh; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh.” However, soul ties can also become unhealthy or toxic. In such cases, breaking a soul tie may be necessary for personal growth and healing.
Imagine a soul tie as an invisible rope connecting one person to another. Having multiple soul ties with different people can create confusion and hinder emotional clarity.
God designed us to relate intimately to one person of the opposite sex within the covenant of marriage. We are members of one body and relate to God as the bride to the Bridegroom. In this sense, monogamy prepares us for faithfulness to one God.
Signs That You Have an Unhealthy Soul Tie
- You are in a physically, emotionally, or spiritually abusive relationship, but you feel so attached to the person that you refuse to cut ties or set boundaries.
- You have left a relationship, possibly long ago, but you obsessively think about the other person and can’t seem to move on.
- You feel like the person is with you or watching you whenever you make decisions or engage in conversations.
- When you are intimate with someone else (ideally your spouse), you find it difficult to keep from visualizing the person you have a soul tie with.
- You take on the negative traits of the person you are tied to and carry their offenses, even if you don’t agree with them.
- You defend your decision to remain connected with this person, even though it is damaging your important relationships (e.g., spouse, children, mentors).
- You experience simultaneous moods or emotions with the person, such as feeling down when they are down, or even experiencing similar physical ailments or addictions.
24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.
– Romans 1:24-32
These verses warn of the consequences of straying from God’s truth, leading to impurity and destructive behavior in relationships.
Ungodly Soul Ties and Their Impact

Steps to Healing
- Repent of all sexual sin, whether it occurred before or during marriage, and any perverted sexual activity, even thoughts of lust (Matthew 5:28). Receive the cleansing blood of Jesus (1 John 1:9).
- Forgive anyone who has wounded you sexually, whether through abuse, betrayal, or consented relationships that left you hurt. This includes forgiving yourself and seeking Jesus to restore your innocence.
- Sever all ungodly soul ties by the blood of Jesus Christ. Place them on the altar and give them back to God. Break all ungodly connections so that both you and the other person can be free emotionally and mentally (1 Samuel 18:1).
- Take authority over any spirits that entered due to sexual sin, such as shame, lust, or sickness, and break their power through prayer. Also, pray over any potential generational impacts.
Prayer to Break Ungodly Soul Ties
Before praying, cover yourself with the blood of Jesus and put on the armor of God (Ephesians 6).
Father God, in the name of Jesus, I cut the ungodly soul tie between me and _______________ and I sever it with the sword of the Spirit and by the blood of Jesus Christ. I place the cross of Jesus between us. In Jesus’ name, I cast out every ungodly transference of spirits and close these doors through the blood of Jesus, placing You, Jesus, at the center of this relationship.
Father, in Jesus’ name, disentangle my body and soul from that person/all persons and objects, and restore what has been damaged. Lord Jesus, set me free from unfulfilled desires and yearnings, breaking their power through Your blood, and fill the void in my heart with Your presence, my El Shaddai.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
