Soul ties are places we are connected to another person in the soul realm. It can create spiritual warfare and be places where we cannot seem to obtain freedom. Breaking soul ties could be the missing element to your deliverance.
One of the soul ties people don’t always identify is that of rejection, lust and control. If you feel these things are out of character for you or anything in which you are currently struggling is not like you, discern if a soul tie could be activating.
As the old adage goes, “We become who we hang around with.” That’s true in both the natural and spiritual. If you have never struggled with rejection and you notice an area of your life in which you are now feeling rejected, evaluate the relationships in your life and see if someone has a spirit of rejection. Relationships with people are where a soul tie can manifest, either good or bad.
Generational lines are additionally a place where we can inherit a soul tie. It is not always about breaking the generational curse, but in close family relationships we need to sever the soul tie. This does not mean coming out of relationship with a family member but breaking agreement with any unhealthy soul ties such as anger or irritability. If you are having a difficult time being set free from your mother’s control, then try severing a soul tie of control. It is a generational curse if you inherited it and are manifesting it, but it is a soul tie if your mother is still controlling you and you can’t break free.
Soul ties are not merely about sexual relations, but all relations. Soul ties can inflict us as we covet a person, idolize or begin to have lustful feelings toward them. They can enter through trauma, a controlling emotionally abusive relationship or a ministry relationship in which you were close but then fell into being controlled and victimized.
We can’t merely speak out, “All soul ties be gone in Jesus’ name.” We must do our part to break the agreement and renounce any known or unknown activity we have in our lives. Praying audibly to cancel the presence in the spiritual realm is effective.

Prayer of Repentance and Renunciation and Breaking Agreement (pray audibly)
I break agreement with every soul tie including soul ties from my generational bloodline. All curses and soul ties active in the spiritual and natural, I break and sever you in Jesus’ name and call you inactive. I bind, rebuke and cancel your curse on my health, emotions and bloodline. I speak and decree that I am redeemed from the curse and that no weapon formed against me will prosper. Every soul tie in the spiritual realm, I take authority over you now and call you null and void, totally canceled of every effect by the blood of the Lamb. I speak and decree that all known and unknown soul ties, curses and demons are evicted from me, and any associated demonic spirits are cast out and evicted now, in Jesus’ name! {eoa}
