Soul Ties
by Frank and Ida Mae Hammond
There are times when we experience spiritual truth before we understand
it. I am reminded of an occasion when a group of ladies invited me to
teach them about the baptism in the Holy Spirit. In the midst of the lesson,
one of the ladies interrupted me to ask, "Can't you go ahead and
pray for us to receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit and explain it to
us later?" Since it was scriptural, that is what I did. Remember
the one hundred and twenty who were baptized in the Holy Spirit on the
day of Pentecost? They had the experience before they understood it.
My wife and I dealt with soul ties, through the ministry of deliverance,
long before we had much understanding of them. In fact, long before someone
introduced the designation "soul ties," we referred to them
as "unholy alliances" or "perverse relationships."
Through deliverance ministry, we encounter soul ties regularly and break
their power over individuals' lives. Yes, soul ties are real, but what
are they? What is the scriptural basis for understanding soul ties? How
are they formed? Are they always demonic? What danger is there in soul
ties? How can they be broken?

If
you are going to work with ritual abuse survivors, you must also get educated
if you want to be effective. And you must learn to be humble. Trauma survivors
do not need to be around ignorant, modern-day Pharisees. Survivors in
pain need people who will connect with them on an emotional level, get
right down in there where they are, and listen. --Kathleen Sullivan
