In this document we discuss sexual cords. A sexual cord is something that connects one person to another; sort of like an invisible rope. Scripture tells us that when two people marry they become one. Genesis 2:24: Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. Matthew 19:4-6: And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh. Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. Mark 10:6-9: But from the beginning of creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife: And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. Ephesians 5:31: For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a holy cord, or Biblical union. People have either holy cords or unholy cords. Holy cords lead to righteousness; but unholy cords to unrighteousness.
Notice scripture tells us that marriage is for a man and a woman; proving that God does not sanctify homosexual, or multi-partner unions – which are unholy cords or unions. Speaking expressly against homosexuality. Leviticus 18:22: Thou shalt not lie with mankind, and with womankind: it is abomination. Leviticus 20:13: If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. Scripture also says “twain” meaning; only two. Anything outside of a Biblical one man and one woman marriage union is an unholy cord. Also, see Romans 1:24-27 for scriptural warning about the practice of homosexuality.
In an unholy cord or union not only do people share physical things, including sexually transmitted diseases, but they are also sharing spiritually evil things (resulting in bondage). Proverbs 5:22 says, his own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with cords of his sins. In Proverbs 5:22 the Hebrew word for ‘cords’ is “chebel, kheh’-bel, or chebel, khay’-bel; a rope (as twisted)… a noose (as of cords); fig. a company (as if tied together)… ruin… cord… destruction, line… pain… rope, snare, sorrow”. I have had people ask me for help, telling me that they are having a problem with thoughts of suicide when they had never been troubled by this before. It was not a generational pattern of iniquity because none of their ancestors had ever attempted suicide (at least to their knowledge). When we talked further we discovered they had sexual relations with someone who had thoughts of suicide. After praying a prayer to break unholy cords they were not tormented with suicidal thoughts any longer. The same can be said for drug addiction or anything else that has a person in bondage.
When a person is saved they do not automatically forget all the things or people who have been connected to their life (or who still may be), and the negative emotional affect it may have had on them. One example is an abusive relationship. A person who has been abused, or who still may be, is in emotional bondage to their abuser. Many times in an abusive relationship the abused person cannot seem to emotionally, or physically break away from their abuser. Though the affects of their abuse have been both emotionally and physically damaging they still cannot seem to walk away from it. Though the abused person may know the Lord they still seem to be in bondage to the other person’s abuse. They know that what they are feeling, and are going through, is not right – but still they cannot find freedom. No matter how much they may want to break away from the abuse they cannot. In many cases, even if they do physically walk away from their abuser the emotional tie is still there and they will keep going back. It is because they have had a sexual or unnatural tie (cord) that has connected them to the person – and this cord keeps pulling them back. Even when they are no longer physically with the person there is still a cord attached emotionally – that must be broken through prayer, releasing them from their connection. Or, this cord will affect their health, their life, and even their future relationships. It is important to know that if the person being abused was (or still is) married to the person who has abused them – this does not mean that their tie or union with that person was (or is) unholy or unnatural – but their abuse certainly is! They do not know that it is their sexual tie with the person that is keeping them in bondage. There is a prayer at the end of this document. It is for both the married and the unmarried. The unmarried can say the prayer but they must not continue in a sexual relationship outside of marriage. A married person may say the prayer as many times as they need to. They can say it every time they have had sexual relations with their spouse. It will help them maintain continuous emotional freedom until the Lord helps them deal with the situation they are in! Only they know whether the Lord wants them to break off their relationship with their spouse. It is no one else’s decision to make but their’s and the Lord’s! We can certainly pray with them and give them good Biblical advice. But, it is the Lord who must ultimately guide them in their decision.
In any sexual union the people become one flesh. Only in a marriage union, between one man and one woman, is it considered a Biblical and holy union. The husband and wife are Biblically one body (flesh). Genesis 2:24: Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. However, married or not, when you are one flesh with a person who is obviously being influenced by Satan, and is in bondage to him, you too will feel the affects of their bondage. It will bring confusion, bondage, and abuse into your life. Whether you are the abuser; or the abusee, you are still in bondage to an evil spirit of abuse – and this abuse must be stopped!
The Bible says a man is to love their spouse as their own body. Ephesians 5:28: So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. God never intends for any person to abuse their spouse. Obviously an abusive person does not love their own self and this is why they take it out on their spouse. Note: If you are reading this and you are being abused by the person you are married to please pray the prayer that I have prepared at the end of this document. It will help you break all negative emotional cords with this person. If you are not married to the person who is abusing you, and you are in a sexual relationship with them, you can still say the prayer – but you must be willing to get out of this unholy relationship. For marriage relationships, the prayer does not (and is not intended) to break up your marriage. If you are married, saying the prayer will not release you from your marriage, saying the prayer will help you begin to heal. If you are not married, by saying the prayer it will release you from any unholy cords – making it easier for you to stop any sexual relationship you may have with this person. However, you do have a will and you can choose to give into Satan’s temptation again, reconnecting this cord. It is up to you to make the decision to turn away from this temptation. Even if this means walking away from the relationship, because the temptation to go back into sexual sin will be too great! Praying this prayer will help you heal emotionally from the abuse, married or not. But it is your choice whether you give into the abuser again. The prayer will help you cut any negative ties or cords you may have with the other person – making your choice a little easier. It will help your mind and emotions begin to heal. You will then see things clearer. Married or not, with this abusive cord severed instead of focusing on your situation you will be able to focus on God and His will for your life. God can, and will, save and deliver you if you ask Him. If you give Him your life, through His Son Jesus Christ, He will guide you and show you what you need to do. If you are not married you must never stay in an un-Biblical relationship with any person. This means anything sexual outside of Biblical marriage. If you are married you must seek God. He may tell you to physically remove yourself from this abusive marriage relationship until such time your spouse can receive help and deliverance. Whatever you need to do God will help you. It will be easier for you to make the right decision after you have broken all negative emotional ties with the person(s) through prayer. This applies to both the married and unmarried.
A holy relationship is not supposed to be an abusive relationship, but an intimate union between a husband and a wife. Ephesians 5:25-31: Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
In any sexual relationship, whether married or not, the people participating become one flesh. The difference between the married and the unmarried is that the married become one unto righteousness; and the unmarried become one unto unrighteousness. Either way, they are one. Because they are one, they can feel the effect of what the other is doing – good or bad. In a Biblical union when they are truly walking together with the Lord daily in their lives they will feel God’s blessings and His direction. If they are not in a Biblical union Satan will try and lead them towards a path of destruction. They will have no good direction for their life. They will live their life on worldly emotions. Their sinful lifestyle will cause turmoil in their relationship – and many times accusation towards one another. When a person is living in sin they are allowing Satan to bring emotional torment into their life, and into the life of any person they are having sexual relations with. Even in a Biblical marriage union a person can feel the emotional turmoil of what their spouse is doing, if their spouse is repeatedly sinning, they can feel the negative emotional effects of that sin. It may begin with thoughts that they would not normally have, or do not know why they are having. They do not know it but they are experiencing thoughts that derive from evil spirits, due to the sin their partner may be repeatedly thinking about or actually committing. Their partner, or spouse, has opened the door to these evil spirits through their own participation in sin – or through entertaining thoughts of sin – and it is affecting the spouse who is not sinning. Though they are married and it is a holy relationship, because of what the spouse is doing the relationship is going to be affected. However, the spouse who is not sinning should never give up hope! I Corinthians 7:14: For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
What couples do not realize is that they can, a lot of times, feel or experience (perhaps through just a thought) the very sin(s) that the other one is participating in, or thinking about participating in. Is this always the case? No. But, many times it is. On the other hand, it could be that the person them self is watching or listening to something they shouldn’t and the thoughts they are having are happening only because of what they them self are doing. (And of course Satan is there assisting them with every evil thought!) Even with this scenario, again, their spouse is going to be affected.
Out of disobedience (or ignorance) to God’s Word people give Satan and his evil spirits legal right (spiritually)to attack, or oppress them – and the attack or oppression isn’t limited to non-Christians. When Christians allow sin into their life they too allow evil spirits to whisper evil and lustful thoughts into their (spiritual) ears, and mind. If anyone has sexual intercourse with a person(s) that is in bondage to Satan, and his evil forces, they are creating a cord not only with the person but also with those evil forces (spirits). Many Christians are oppressed and in bondage because they have (repeatedly) given in to temptation to sin. What they do not realize is that even though they may have a holy union (cord) with their spouse they are still allowing their or their spouse’s sin to be passed between them. Whatever the case, the lustful thoughts and sinful practices either are committing are attacking their spouse’s mind every time they have sexual relations with them. Due to one’s repeated participation in sin they have created a heavy yoke of sin and bondage upon their self – and their spouse. It is a yoke that either is able to bear, or break loose from, without the help of Jesus Christ. Without deliverance from Satan’s evil bondage in their life their sin will pile upon sin, and eventually they may fall away from God completely. James 1:14-16: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. Do not err, my beloved brethren. In Hebrew text ‘lust’ is listed under the ‘soul’, and the lust of the soul is what Satan uses to war against God’s people – causing many Christians to lust after their past sinful ways, or un-Godly relationships. I Peter 2:11: Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul. Lust and desire does affect a person’s soul. The Hebrew word for ‘soul’ in the Old Testament is “nephesh, neh’-fesh; …sense… appetite… breath… desire… greedy… heart… life… lust… mind… pleasure… will”. The Greek word for ‘soul’ in the New Testament is “psuche, psoo-khay’; …breath… heart… mind”. The Greek terms “exactly correspond respectively” to the Hebrew. It is important for Christians to say an extra prayer and break off every sinful cord they have ever had outside of marriage, even if it was with the person they are now married to. It is true that Jesus Christ forgives and forgets our sin, but the extra prayer is for us, to help us forgive our self so we can move on! We need to sever the evil and negative spiritual cords from our mind and thoughts, so that Satan cannot try and use them against us. Many times a person will not have respect for their spouse the way they should if they had sexual relations with them prior to marriage – which is another reason they need to pray the prayer to break unholy cords at the end of this document. If we do not pray Satan may continue to bring accusation against us, and thoughts of jealousy, fear, or mistrust towards our spouse. Prayer can only improve our relationship with our spouse! As Christians, through prayer, we can wipe the slate clean in our marriage relationship, asking God to create a holy cord between our self and our spouse. God has already wiped the slate clean but, again, the prayer is for us – for our own peace of mind! Psalm 139:23-24: Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. You may think cords cannot affect you if you are saved because God has already forgiven you; however, our memory of our past is not instantly removed when we give our life to the Lord. God forgets our sinful past, but we do not, and this is what Satan counts on. It takes time and Spiritual growth in God’s Word to wash out the memories and the negative affects of a person’s past. Ephesians 5:26: That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word. Even after salvation, many Christians may still have a desire to look at others in an unholy way. Are you having these desires? What about your spouse? Due to unbroken cords you may be passing these desires on to your spouse, or vice-versa. When we give our life to Jesus Christ He forgets our sin(s). However, our memory of the past is still there, and Satan will use our memory to try and entice us to sin again. For some, the evil enticement may be overwhelming because they have not severed their mind and emotions from evil cords. They are not following after God’s Word but are participating in or watching things that are full of evil enticement. With their participation they are reconnecting and reinforcing evil cords even after salvation. Isaiah 5:18: Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope. The Hebrew word for ‘cords’ in Isaiah 5:18 is “chebel, kheh’-bel, or chebel, khay’-bel; a rope (as twisted)… a noose (as of cords); fig. a company (as if tied together)… ruin… cord… destruction, line… pain… rope, snare, sorrow”. As Christians we must read God’s Word daily and stop allowing evil to infiltrate our mind if we are going to wash out the memory of a lifetime of past sin. Psalm 2:3: Let us break their bands asunder, and cast their cords from us. The Hebrew word for ‘cords’ in Psalm 2:3 is “aboth, ab-oth’; or Abowth, ab-oth’; or abothah, ab-oth-aw’; something intwined, i.e. a string, wreath or foliage, band, cord, rope, thick bough (branch), wreathen (chain)”. It is not necessarily the thought that is causing them to sin, but it is the fact that they continue entertaining the thought. Many times they are entertaining, and reinforcing, these thoughts by what they are watching on television. Watching the sin (which many Christians call entertainment) is what is enticing Christians into repeated sin. Psalm 101:3: I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.
Today there is a lot of emphasis placed on physically transmitted disease, but none on spiritually transmitted disease. The little s before the word disease is not referring to God’s Holy Spirit; but is referring to evil spiritual disease. God has His Spiritual guidelines for us in His Word (the Bible) and any person who does not follow His guidelines will reap the negative physical and spiritual results of their un-Godly decisions. Any person who has sexual intercourse with another can begin experiencing the same bondage(s) to sin as the person with whom they had intercourse, married or not. In an un-Biblical union God does not honor the relationship so the entire relationship is affected by sin – but, even in a Biblical relationship the spouse can be affected when the other spouse is sinning, especially when it is repeated and unrepentant sin. Psalm 139:23-24: Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. If the person sinning does not repent of their wicked ways Proverbs 5:22 says His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with cords of his sins. In Proverbs 5:22 the Hebrew word for ‘cords’ is “chebel, kheh’-bel, or chebel, khay’-bel; a rope (as twisted)… a noose (as of cords); fig. a company (as if tied together)… ruin… cord… destruction, line… pain… rope, snare, sorrow”.
In any sexual relationship people can share many things – good or bad. People can even share physical things, like sexually transmitted diseases. But, also very important (and what many people do not realize) is they can share spiritually evil things – things that result in bondage.
Example:
1. A person never had a suicidal thought, but after engaging in sexual intercourse with a person who has suicidal thoughts, they too start to experience these same thoughts of suicide. See my document for more on ‘suicide’. Ask me for a copy.
2. A person who never desired drugs, after having sexual intercourse with someone who did, had an overwhelming desire to try drugs them self.
3. A person who has never been depressed begins to experience depression after having a sexual encounter with someone who often feels depressed.
An unholy cord is anything outside of Biblical marriage (i.e. fornication or adultery). Hebrews 13:4: Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled; but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. Job 31:1: I made a covenant with mine eyes: why then should I think upon a maid? Matthew 5:28: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. Proverbs 6:32: But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul. James 1:15-16: Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. Do not err, my beloved brethren.
According to previous scripture (Matthew 5:28) a person does not even have to physically participate in sexual intercourse with another person to commit the sin of adultery. Proverbs 6:32: But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul. Lusting after another person can create an unholy cord in a person’s mind that can destroy their very own soul!
Unholy or unnatural cords or ties are not accepted by God. Among these unholy and unnatural ties are adultery, fornication, multiple partner relationships or marriages, and homosexual practices and unions. Galatians 5:19-21: Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Scripture here is speaking expressly against homosexuality. Leviticus 18:22: Thou shalt not lie with mankind, and with womankind: it is abomination. Do not lie with your own kind – meaning gender. Leviticus 20:13: If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. (Also see Romans 1:24-27). Whenever a person sexually joins with someone who is under the influence of evil spirits they too connect them self with the same evil influence as the person with whom they have joined. For instance, any person who engages in homosexuality – which is actually influenced by an evil spirit – they become one with not only the other person, but also with the evil spirit influencing them. Any person who has sexual relations with anyone who practices homosexuality or bi-sexuality (which are unnatural and unholy) invites homosexuality or bi-sexuality to visit their own life. This is also true when looking at pornography because you may be looking at someone who is the same gender as you!
Another unnatural tie or cord, being promoted through pornography, is sexual union with animals (bestiality). Even looking at such an abomination creates an unnatural cord in the person’s mind who is watching it! Leviticus 18:23: Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion. Leviticus 20:15: And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast. Deuteronomy 27:21: Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of beast. And all the people shall say, Amen. There are people who may not have a sexual union with an animal but an emotional or spiritual union – this too creates a cord between the person and the animal, and it is an unnatural cord. I touch on this in my document on ‘Shamanism’ by sharing with you the story of how I personally know someone who had an emotional and spiritual tie with wolves because of their unnatural affection for their family pet who resembled a wolf.
Unnatural affection for a person, especially a family member, will also create an unnatural or unholy cord in a person’s life. Leviticus 18:7: The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. Read all of Leviticus Chapter 18 for more insight on the sin of uncovering one’s nakedness, especially a family member. Proverbs 14:12 and 16:25: There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. Proverbs 28:18: Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.
There are many different types of unnatural or unholy cords and all create bondage in a person’s life. Continual participation, or exposure, to sin will create sinful cords in our heart and mind (our soul). These sinful cordsconnect our thoughts to Satan’s evil realm. These evil thoughts – and the evil spirits inspiring the thoughts – will draw us into sin just as a rope pulls a cart. Isaiah 5:18: Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope. The Hebrew word for ‘cords’ in Isaiah 5:18 is “chebel, kheh’-bel, or chebel, khay’-bel; a rope (as twisted)… a noose (as of cords); fig. a company (as if tied together)… ruin… cord… destruction, line… pain… rope, snare, sorrow”. Thinking or fantasizing within one’s mind can open spiritually evil doorways (and thought patterns) in their life. You may think fantasizing or lusting after someone is not bad as long as you do not actually physically participate in a sinful act with the person, again, this is not what scripture says: Matthew 5:28: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. My book explains, in depth, the dangers of a person even looking at or concentrating on sinful things. Mark 7:21-23: For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man. Galatians 5:19-21: Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Lust and desire does affect a person’s soul. The Hebrew word for ‘soul’ in the Old Testament is “nephesh, neh’-fesh; …sense… appetite… breath… desire… greedy… heart… life… lust… mind… pleasure… will”. The Greek word for ‘soul’ in the New Testament is “psuche, psoo-khay’; …breath… heart… mind”. The Greek terms “exactly correspond respectively” to the Hebrew.
It is important to understand what an unnatural or unholy cord is and how it has affected your life; even if it happened to you before you were saved you can still suffer the negative emotional affects after salvation if you do not sever the cord through direct prayer. Many times because a person is a Christian they believe that Satan cannot affect them, especially their soul. However, anytime a person, including a Christian, gives in to lust of the flesh it affects or touches their soul (which is their mind, will, and emotions). The Hebrew word for ‘soul’ in the Old Testament is nephesh, neh’-fesh; heart, lust, mind, will, sense, appetite, desire, pleasure, self, greedy. The Greek word for ‘soul’ in the New Testament is psuche, psoo-khay’; heart, mind. The Greek meaning corresponds with the Hebrew. God’s Holy Spirit lives in our spirit when we are saved, but when we allow sin and temptation of the flesh to affect our soul how long will God continue to dwell in our spirit? When a person cannot stop them self from sinning and is repeatedly giving in to this sin then this person, or Christian, is in bondage. It is Satan’s desire to keep Christians in bondage to their past and he is successfully doing this through unholy and unnatural ties; or through continued sinful practices and/or unclean objects of décor. Scripture tells us that we are not to be ignorant of Satan’s devices. II Corinthians 2:11: Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
It is important to know that if you are a Christian and you are sinning, even if you are committing sin(s) that you would be embarrassed to ever share with anyone – do not be ashamed – God still loves you! He wants to deliver you from bondage to sin. Romans 5:8: But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 6:12, 22: Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. If you have already asked forgiveness, but have not been able to stop sinning, please say the unholy cord prayer at the end of the document. Prayer works and you can never have too much prayer! Prayer can stop lustful fantasies and also prevent future allurement – especially if the prayer specifically targets Satan’s area of attack, tearing down his stronghold in your life. Saying prayers, such as the unholy cord prayer, can and will make it easier to overcome temptation. Also knowing the truth about the unclean objects in your home, which add to sinful practices, is a very important part of your freedom. Though temptations may come, as Christians, we can overcome them easier when we live in a Spiritually clean environment. We will be able to walk in freedom and not continually fall into Satan’s traps. In a Spiritually clean environment we can pray and read our Bible more effectively, and learn the truth of God’s Word. To maintain the freedom we have in Jesus Christ we must be obedient to God’s Word and His commandments, or we will continue to give in to Satan’s evil temptations even after salvation. As Christians, God has given us freedom through His Son Jesus Christ who is His Word. John 1:1, 14: IN the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. Revelation 19:13: And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. His Word is faithful and does not lack in any of its promises towards us. But, we must take seriously the commandments of God. If we continue ignoring or disobeying God’s commandments and we continue giving in to repeated sin we will allow evil to infiltrate our life. Many Christians think their repeated sin is only an act of their flesh, and that Satan has nothing to do with it; however, they should not let Satan off the hook so easy. I Peter 5:8: Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. Christians – we can lose our salvation if we do not quit playing Satan’s games. Though we commit sin by using our own body (flesh) it is Satan who is enticing us to commit the sin. Galatians 5:19-21: Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Participating in sin is not a game. Satan is warring against our soul. Peter 2:11: Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul. We can have either holy, or unholy, cords in our life – it is our choice.
If you are a Christian and you feel you may be in bondage to sin please say the following prayer and sever (cut) all unholy cords, and allow God to deliver you from this bondage.
Important: In the blanks below you can put not only people, but unholy practices. Such as: yoga, martial arts, bad music, drugs, pornography, masturbation, narcissism, homosexuality, bi-sexuality, orgies, abuse, rape, pedophilia, attempted suicide, sadomasochism, gender change, cross dressing, adultery, fornication, sexual relations with animals (including fantasy relations, mental shape-shifting, lycanthropy, and any connection with animal spirit guides), watching movies that insinuate having sexual relations with the dead (and any connection with necromancy), unnatural relationships between family members (or any involvement with ancestral spirits/familiar spirits), incubus and succubus spirits, sexual rituals, or you can even put down a mirror if used for sexual pleasure. The Bible tells us in Matthew 5:28 if we even look at someone and lust after them we have in essence had relations with them in our heart. (This would include lusting after one’s own self - narcissism!) Put down anyone or anything the Lord may bring to your mind in the blanks provided in the following prayer, or use an extra sheet of paper if you need to. After saying the prayer you can just tear up the paper and throw it away. (An in depth explanation of the things mentioned above and much more, including prayer, can be found in my book called “Truth or Tradition”. If you are interested ask me for a copy.)
Note: An unholy or unnatural cord does not necessarily have to be a sexual relationship it can be any destructive emotional tie. Or, even a ritual tie with someone (such as: a tattoo artist because tattooing is ritualistic in origin). This emotional tie can be with any person, thing, or even an animal. See my document on Shamanism for an example of an animal tie.
Extra note: Though there is nothing wrong with receiving an organ transplant you may want to say the following prayer severing any cords you may have with the person that you received the organ(s) from. For example, if you received a cornea from someone else's eyes and they were in bondage to pornography you should sever any cords with the prayer below (putting the name of the organ or organs in the blank). This would shut any doors that Satan was ever allowed through the cornea(s). The prayer will stop Satan’s right of way and keep him from using those corneas as a doorway ever again! Or, what if you received an organ from someone who was in any other type of bondage. By saying the prayer you sever any negative history connected to that organ(s). Again, there is nothing wrong with organ transplantation it is just that by saying the prayer you stop the path of destruction that Satan may have once had to someone else's life and keep it from becoming a pathway into your life!
Please Pray:
Father God, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth (the true Messiah), I give you the people and/or evil things that I have allowed into my life ____________ ____________ ______________ ______________. I ask you to forgive me and to remove the evil affect this has had on my life. I ask you to destroy, and sever, every unholy and unnatural cord (false umbilical cord) I have ever allowed into my life. I ask you to remove every sin (and unclean spirit) that has oppressed my soul due to these evil cords. I command every evil thought (and evil spirit) that has afflicted, influenced, or tormented my thoughts to leave me in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. I ask you Lord Jesus to cleanse me and deliver me from everything in my life that has separated me from you. I give you every temptation, bondage, and sin that I have ever accepted or committed through these cords and I ask you to take it all away. From this day forward, every unholy or unnatural cord of my past (or present) is severed and destroyed – never to be used by the devil to hold me in bondage again. Lord Jesus, I ask you to remove every spiritually evil doorway that Satan or any of his evil spirits have ever had in my mind and life. I thank you Lord because I know you have heard my confessions, have forgiven me, and cleansed me from all unrighteousness. I John 1:9: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. From this day forward I ask that you would give me every good thing you have ever desired for my life and my family; including hope, joy, peace, and love. Romans 15:13: Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. Isaiah 26:3: Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Ephesians 4:23: And be renewed in the spirit of your mind. Psalm 119:165: Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.”
(Note: In order to completely sever these cords you should also remove all the things that the person(s) on your list gave to you, such as: pictures, letters or love letters, cards, clothing, jewelry, trinkets, and especially religious décor, etc. Let the Lord lead you!)
