Episode notes
Reality Behind 'Soul Ties'
- The phrase "soul ties" is a newer term but describes a real spiritual and psychological bond often formed through sexual sin or unhealthy attachments.
- Father Josh links such bonds to possible demonic influence and recommends prayerful breaking rather than casual experimentation in deliverance.
Use Prayer To Break Unhealthy Bonds
- Ask Jesus to bind and break any curses, pacts, vows, or demonic bondages rather than attempting to bind spirits yourself.
- Use prayers (spoken three times for emphasis) or published laity deliverance prayers and consult a spiritual director before formal deliverance ministry.
Pray Specific Renunciation Words
- Pray specific renunciation prayers in Jesus' name to sever unholy ties and return what was taken or reclaim what was lost.
- Invoke the Precious Blood to wash and protect you and your loved ones from retaliating spirits after renunciation.
