Soul Ties | What are you hitched to?

Photo from ginosphotos/iStock We often hear it said that deliverance/freedom is like an onion.  Sometimes, we need to peel off layers of things before you get to we can get to the core of an issue. Soul ties have layers.  Like a piece of yarn, there are many threads together to make one string.  So even if you cut one tie, there may be others still linking you to that person, depending on the depth or layers of the relationship and what it’s original intent and purpose was. In a past relationship I had, there was a child involved. Her mother and I were together for several years. During that time I took her daughter own as being “my child”.

The speaking in tongues was intriguing but made me feel nervous, I know now it was my own spirit man doing a little dance, not nervousness.
