Soul Ties: Pt. 1

"I don't know what it is about her..."
"It's something about him that I just can't shake..."
"Why is my boss always picking on me?..."

It's not just how they are.  It's much deeper than that.  Most people don't believe it, but soul ties do exist; and they control the way people act towards you and around you. So, what is a soul tie? A soul tie is a connection through the relationships we create.  God created us as spiritual beings wrapped in flesh.  We were created to communicate and connect with other people (spiritual beings).  The connections we have with people are either good or bad.  Most of the time the bad connections are mistaken for good ones, and the good ones are far and few in between. 

So, how can you tell if a soul tie is good or bad?  Well, the first misconception we need to clear up is soul ties do not always have to do with having sex with someone.  Most people that have heard about soul ties automatically think that.  A sexual relationship is just one of the ways a person can be tied to you, and is actually one of the strongest ways, but not the only way. If the you have a sexual relationship with someone, and you begin to change in a negative way that is a bad connection.  What I mean by changing in a negative way is when you are doing things you were once against before meeting that person.  You become rebellious, lazy, irritated, and/or disgusted when you are almost always are the total opposite, that is a bad connection.  If you feel depressed, or are happier when you are not around that person that is a bad connection.  A good connection will always bring positivity.  Even if it is hard to hear, and you know it was meant to better you that is a good connection.  When you have a relationship that is encouraging, uplifting, and holds you accountable for your actions that is a good connection.  Again, it is not always with a sexual relationship.  This goes for your friendships, family, coworkers, business partners, and anyone else that you meet and build a some type of relationship with.

Check out this snippet from Debbie Adebayo on singlespleasingthelord.com:
Have you ever heard people talking about a marriage in which the husband is very abusive to the wife, even to the point of beating her?  Then you hear that she finally couldn't take it anymore, and leaves him, only to return after a short time.  You may ask yourself, "How could she return to that kind of lifestyle?"  It's because of the soul tie that has been made and it seems that there is an invisible cord between them.  This can explain how two people can have a sexual relationship, even if only once, and still after many years have thoughts of one another they just can't seem to get rid of.  It's because of the soul tie, and until it's broken, you will never be totally free.  

 Be careful with the connections that you make.  Trust your instincts, intuition, and your gut!  In part 2, I will explain the difference between a soul tie and a soul mate....oh yea, there's a difference!
