Hello, loves, welcome back. Today we're going to talk about soul ties and the sacred boundaries finding God's path for your heart. So if just in the moment, right now, of this title, it resonates with you, we're going to dive into this topic, because today's episode is all about soul ties and, trust me, this is a conversation we need to definitely have. If you've ever wondered why you feel so connected to somebody, even when it's not good for you, or why you can't seem to move forward from certain relationships, this one is definitely for you. But don't worry, we'll talk about how to break those unhealthy ties and step into God's perfect plan for your relationship. Let's define what soul ties is All right. So let's get started by breaking down what exactly that means. Simply put, a soul tie is a spiritual and emotional connection between two people. It's not just a casual bond. It's something much deeper. It goes beyond a regular friendship or relationship. Think of it as a bond that links your souls together almost like a spiritual attachment. Sometimes these ties form through deep emotional connections, physical intimacy or even shared spiritual experiences. Let's dive into healthy versus unhealthy soul ties. Not all soul ties are bad. God created us to have deep, meaningful connections with others. A healthy soul tie is one that aligns with God's will and brings you closer to him. These ties encourage growth, love and God's wisdom. For example, you can have a healthy soul tie with your spouse or a close friend, someone who builds you up and encourages you in your walk with Christ.

On the other hand, there are unhealthy soul ties. These are connections that may hold you back, cause pain or even lead you away from God's purpose for your life. Sometimes these ties form a toxic relationship, past hurts or emotional wounds. In Ephesians 4.22, it says put off your old self, which beholds to your former way of life. Maybe it's an ex you can't seem to let go, even though you know everything. That relationship wasn't good for you. Or maybe it's a friendship that constantly pulls you away from your values. That's when we need to take a step back and ask ourselves is this connection drawing me closer to God or pulling me further away? How do we break those unhealthy ties?

Renee: 4:14

First, we need to recognize them. We need to identify those ties that are unhealthy and to make a conscience decision to step away from them. Here's how First, pray for clarity and discernment. Ask God to show you which relationships are keeping you from his best. Prayer is powerful. Ask the Lord to serve those ties. For you to break that soul tie, you'd be surprised how much he reveals when you seek his wisdom. Once you identify them, it's time to take action. So set boundaries. This might seem cutting off communication or limiting contact with certain people. If you keep feeding the soul tie, it will stay alive and continue to hold you back from what God has for you. Seek godly counsel. Find a trusted friend or a mentor or, in our case, buddies, as we call them who can pray with you and hold you accountable as you work and break free.

Ecclesiastes 4.12 reminds us that a cord of three strands is not quickly broken. We need community to help us stay strong. God desires for us to have relationships that reflect his love and truth. Cultivating God-honoring connection starts with building relationships on a foundation of faith. I encourage you to have a heart-to-heart with the Lord. Sit down and write a letter to God. Pour out your heart about the relationships that's been holding you back, purge all those emotions and ask God to break the tie. You can literally say God, I'm releasing this person to you, I'm cutting the soul tie in Jesus's name and I trust you to heal me. You may need to do this more than once, but trust that God is faithful.

Renee: 6:43

In Psalms 147.3, it says he heals the brokenhearted and binds up those wounds. He's ready to help you move forward. Ground yourself with people who encourage you to grow spiritually, who push you to follow God's plan for your life, whether it's a friendship or romantic relationship. When Christ is in the center, those bonds strengthen in a way that brings you closer to him. Colossians 3.14 says and over all these virtues, put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. When love is at the center, rooted in Christ, relationships become a blessing rather than a burden. So if you're feeling stuck in an unhealthy soul tie, know that there is freedom in Christ. You're not alone and God is right there, ready to help you break through ties and step into relationships that reflect his love and truth. Remember God's plan for your life is always better than anything we try to hold onto ourselves. Before we wrap this up today, I want to remind you that God is always ready to help you break unhealthy ties and guide you towards connections that glorify him, connections that glorify him. If you're feeling stuck in an unhealthy soul tie, know that you're not alone, god's grace is more than enough to heal, restore and set you free. I hope this conversation gave you some clarity and encouragement. Remember that God has a beautiful plan for your relationships and it starts with keeping him at the center.
