SOUL TIES AND "KNOTS"

[prophetess m. brignac]

Soul ties have been somewhat of a curiosity, and a mystery for many, and rightfully so, because they are deeply "spiritual". The very first "soul tie" was the one between Adam and God, which was a legitimate and sanctified Covenant, and it's dynamics were that God would be Lord over him, and caretaker, and He would, in turn, worship and serve God, and then between Adam and Eve (filial), his wife, which was also ordained and proper. Most people are not aware of how deeply the principle of "soul ties" run. A human can have an illicit soul tie with an animal (consider the old lady down the block with little "pink" "FooFoo", the poodle, who sleeps with her, eats with her, and wears more designer clothes than you do), and many of us have firmly established "soul ties" with "things". This is why the Apostle Paul said "I count all"things" loss, that I may win Christ!" There are several diversities of soul ties that are necessary within the framework of family, and church structure, but they too, can become perverted. A "soul tie", simply stated, is no more than an extreme attachment to someone or something that is difficult to let go of, and it can be perverted, and illegal. "Healthy "soul ties, or covenant relationships exist between Pastors and their flocks and vice versa, but when they begin to romanticize their relationship,due to loneliness and dissatisfaction in their personal lives, Pastor becomes their "husband", that TIE becomes a KNOT, because roles are being twisted and overlapping. When a Mother raises her son to "take care of her" and he has to answer to her every beck and call, while neglecting those within his own house-hold, and he begins to feel more like her "husband", another KNOT has formed. These are the "good sons" who never be able to leave home for very long, and when they do, they usually spend more time at "Mom's" than at his house with his own wife! Sister, if you have to go get "Bubba" from "Ma'dea's" house, get the scissors, because your marriage has been "KNOTTED"! When two friends become so intertwined that the lines of friendship begin to blur, and their roles, (either or both) begin to take on the shape of that of a "boyfriend", or girlfriend, get the scissors and go to work, because you've got a KNOT on your hands! When a friend becomes demanding, possessive and , overly emotional, sickness is creeping into that friendship, and serious over-lapping has taken place. Wives, husbands, and all other "S.O.s (significant others) beware of former "lovers" and "friends", and especially "Baby Mamas", because often, those prior soul ties are still hanging on, and if one's not careful, those mid-night and early morning familiar "callings" and "summons", will filter into your present relationship! Once Bubba is married to or committed to you, there's no reason for "Frizzie" to be sending for him to "fix" anything or to "pick up" anything! Get the "scissors" or a "razor" if you have to, and handle that KNOT"! ( I am NOT co-signing any body "cutting" anybody!) The same applies to the ladies who seem to find reasons to be on the phone with "Rambo" or to have a "happy meals" with him, because , there's a possibility they may wind up ordering "room service"! The Bible admonishes us to "give no place to the devil, and to give no appearance of evil!" When you can't let that 18 year old sofa, or Cadillac go no matter how many chances you've had offered to you to replace it, there's a material KNOT on the premises. When a new Pastor is assigned to an established church,and the congregation doesn't want to move the former Pastor's pictures, or not adhere to and embrace the new Pastor's vision, and everything that comes out of their mouths is "BUT "PASTOR LONG GONE" DID OR SAID", there lies a huge KNOT, even with the dead. Speaking of the dead, we know God expects us to mourn and grieve, within reason, but when the "living" CLINGS TO AND, nurtures an attachment to the dead, we have a massive KNOT, that only in depth deliverance can unravel, because it runs generations deep in it's overlapping! When a man or woman enters into marriage or a covenant relationship, and they've been intimate with a number of former lovers, they will have to cut through intricately bound KNOTS, because each intimacy forms another knot added to the existing ones. You can believe it's a "KNOT" when the former "lover's" name keeps coming up, even accidentally. Parents who are widowed and lonely, form these KNOTS with their children, young, and adult, because they expect them to fill the void of the deceased husband, or wife, and to consume all of their time and attention. I've counseled many people who were not able to function in their adult roles as Mothers, Daddy's, or even friends, only to discover that the reason was the "soul tie'/KNOT" that existed in their youth between them and their parent/parents, that never allowed them to be just "children" or to socialize within the boundaries of normal childhood. They never got to go to parties, sleepovers, school activities,or any other functions,because they had to be Mommy's "big girl", or "big boy", and keep her company all their youth.There are many instances where Dad's" who are widowed, try to make their little girls, their "housewives" and often their "lovers", and this sort of perverse mega "KNOT" RANKS AMONGST THE MOST TRAUMATIZING"There is a remedy or solution for these "KNOTS" and it is the WORD, the NAME of JESUS, and the BLOOD. OF THE LAMB Those suffering from "knotted up" lives must first recognize their condition, and willingly submit to Godly, counsel, and deliverance, and it may take some time, depending on their yieldedness, and the severity of the "KNOTS"! The blessed assurance is that Calvary's cross was hewn from "knotted" wood, and thanks be unto God you can bring your "KNOTS" there, and He will deliver you, and unravel all of your accumulated, ragged, and stubborn KNOTS.
