This is Dr. Don Ibbitson with Above and Beyond Counseling Ministries and I’d like to welcome
you to our teaching series for entry points or open doors for demonic torment. Our ministry
is a Christian counseling ministry but a big focus of it is in fact deliverance ministry.
We set people free from demonic strongholds and bondages. We have ministered to literally
thousands of people on both in individual private office sessions in our release to
soar group seminars and now even we minister to people over the internet via Skype.
So the insights we share in this series are things that we learned about the demonic realm
and quite frankly we are still learning. So we add and we modify these teachings as we
go. Basically we use a five step process to take people through deliverance. In one of
the sessions involves a teaching session about open doors and demonic strongholds. The demonic
kingdoms are legalists. They understand and yes they have to obey the word of God and
we find as we teach people about open doors that they can identify the open doors for
demonic torment in their lives and then these doors can be closed so the actual deliverance
ministry can be more effective. Also staying free is something that helps when we understand
the open doors for the torment. So with that brief introduction I would like to take you
through todays teaching. Welcome to above and beyond ministries teaching
points for demonic strongholds. In this session we are going to talk about ungodly soul ties.
This is the model that we use. You will see it quite frequently in our teachings. This
is what a typical Christian looks like. We are three part beings, body, soul and spirit
and body or our physical container if you like, our hair, skin, teeth and bones. Our
soul is our mind, memory and emotions. And we have a spirit man and when we are a born
again believe we can see this is a Christian because they have the Holy Spirit living in
them. Then we have a new spirit living in us and also the Holy Spirit.
But we can also be tormented and oppressed by demonic spirits that we need deliverance
from. And we’ve been talking about entry points for demonic strongholds. There are
any number of them. Generational sins and curses, word curses, sins that are committed
against us and then there’s an element of sins that we commit that can open the door
for demonic torment. And today we are going to talk about ungodly soul ties. How those
are in fact an entry point for demonic torment in our life.
Basically our soul where our mind, memory and emotions reside we have a soul tie with
anyone we have a bonding with. And you can kind of see here in our picture with the souls
there is a kind of joined together and bonding of the souls that can happen. And there are
two types of soul ties. There are godly soul ties and there are ungodly soul ties. Godly
soul ties are quite simply based upon love. And we see examples in the scripture here.
A husband and wife have a godly soul tie. In Ephesians 5:31 it says for this reason
a man will leave his father and his mother, be united to his wife and the two will become
one flesh. Flesh is body and soul. Parents and children can have a godly soul tie. Genesis
44:30 talks about Jacob and Benjamin and it says that the boy’s life was closely bound
up with Jacob’s life. And we can have a godly soul tie with friends. First Samuel
18:3 talk about the covenant with David. It says Jonathan made a covenant with David because
he loved him as he loved himself. Now here’s our soul tie again. When we have
ungodly soul ties with people what we see is that the demonic spirits if you like or
strongholds, spirits can transfer from one person to another. We can pick up somebody
else’s spirits because of ungodly bondings. And most come about through two major ways.
One comes about through *** sin. It says in First Corinthians 6:16 Paul talks about
*** sin. He says don’t you know he who unites himself with a *** is one with
her in body and the two will become one flesh. So *** sin is an open door for demonic
torment. Now I need to add here we are talking about ungodly soul ties sins that we commit.
There are also ungodly soul ties that happen with people who are abused or molested, sexually
abused if you like and *** if you like and there is an ungodly soul tie that gets established
there too that needs to get broken. But clearly that’s not in those cases an instance of
willful sin. So that is one though when we willfully involve in a *** sin we do open
a door for ungodly soul ties. And here’s another type of ungodly soul
tie. It gets established when we allow people to basically have an ungodly control over
us. Proverbs 22:24-25 says make no friendship with an angry man with a furious man thou
shalt not go unless thou learn his ways and get a snare to thy soul. What does this mean?
We can have an open door for demonic torment when we have people in our lives that are
very controlling. And by that typically they have a spirit of control in their life and
we allow ourselves to be controlled by them and those can control family and friends.
It can involve the case of having abortions and ungodly soul ties and even hypnosis. There
are many others, this is just a brief overview. And yes indeed with family and friends we
can have an ungodly soul tie and a godly soul tie. With the same person. But in terms of
open door for demonic torment those ungodly soul ties need to be identified and those
soul ties need to be broken. So that’s just a very brief overview to
ungodly soul ties as an entry point for demonic torment. Hope you found that helpful.
