Sex and Soul Ties

“Guard your heart above all else, for it determines
the course of your life.” ~ Proverbs 4:23
_____________________________________________

soul tiesIf you’ve had sex outside of marriage, you formed a soul tie—or more than one—that may be the cause of the emotional, psychological, and physical problems that are now tormenting you.

What is a soul tie? A soul tie is the spiritual link that is formed between two souls during sexual intercourse. First Corinthians 6:16 describes a soul tie: “And don’t you realize that if a man joins himself to a prostitute, he becomes one body with her? For the Scriptures say, ‘The two are united into one.’ ” This uniting into one is a soul tie.

When the soul tie is created only in marriage, the link is lawful and the two souls involved are blessed because of their obedience to God’s commandment to have sex only within the context of the marriage relationship. But if the soul tie is created through sex outside of marriage, all kinds of serious problems result.

A soul tie created by sex outside of marriage is the unlawful tying together of two souls. This unlawful tying together causes spiritual bondage between the two souls for the rest of their lives unless the soul tie is broken through the power of Jesus Christ. Because of this spiritual bondage, the demonic spirits found in one person can transfer to the other person, and vice versa.

In today’s culture, we consider two people married when they have gone through the wedding ceremony. In Biblical times, two people were considered married once they had sexual intercourse. So, in God’s eyes, marriage results from sexual intercourse, not from a wedding ceremony.

Interestingly, in some states, when a couple wants to get a divorce, the judge will ask them if the marriage has been consummated. In other words, he will ask them if they have had sex yet because, according to the law in that state, a relationship becomes a marriage when the couple has had sex.

In light of this understanding, every time someone has sex with another person, she is married to that person. Not only that, but every time someone has sex with another person, her soul is tied to that other person’s soul.

So, if a girl has sex with five guys, in God’s eyes she has married five times and her soul has been tied to at least five other souls. In most cases, the number of soul ties is even greater since each of the guys may have had multiple sex partners.

Do the math. This means that a girl who engages in premarital sex with one guy can be tied to hundreds of other souls without even knowing it. Yet, all of those other souls are affecting her every day.

No wonder so many people are suffering so much emotional, psychological, and physical torment! They are in bondage to hundreds of other souls all of whom have demonic forces operating against them. And all of these demonic forces combined are operating against that one person who chose to have sex outside of marriage.

Consider this example. Let’s say a guy sleeps with a girl who is involved in the occult. Afterwards, he begins having nightmares and develops unreasonable fears. This guy, who, before sleeping with the girl was never afraid of anything, is now terrified of everything. Why? The reason is that the demons of the occult in the girl’s soul transferred to the guy’s soul when he slept with her.

Not a pretty picture, is it? Does it make you think twice about having sex outside of marriage?

Soul ties can also be caused by sexual abuse or unhealthful emotional relationships. In such cases, the same Jesus Christ who wants to deliver you from the sin of premarital sex will deliver you from the soul ties created through sexual abuse.

Remember this: Sex outside of marriage will destroy your soul. This is the reason that God forbids it. He is not out to keep you from pleasure. He is out to keep you from pain.

Questions: 1) Do you have to repent of unlawful soul ties? 2) Are you aware that Jesus Christ is the only way for you to break unlawful soul ties? 3) Will you ask for and receive His cleansing and restoration of your soul? In Psalm 23, He promises to restore your soul. The word “heart” is another word for “soul.”

    • Hi! I would love to know what biblical evidence there is for this? How “Two will become one” suddenly means soul ties and transferring demons and energy when there is nothing in the bible to support that statement? I believe sex can be sacred and for a Christian it should be however so many Christians and pastors make so many claims about sex without any biblical evidence to back it up, just language that has been used to oppress any sort of sex outside marriage. Thanks !

      • Hello, Bianca,

        Thank you so much for your comment. I agree with you that many claims are made about sex without Biblical evidence to back them up. Yet, regarding sex outside of marriage, there are verses that forbid this. For example, Hebrews 13: 4 AMP says this: “Marriage is to be held in honor among all [that is, regarded as something of great value], and the marriage bed undefiled [by immorality or by any sexual sin]; for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.” This verse clearly shows that sex outside of marriage defiles a person, or makes him or her spiritually unclean.

        Sex outside of marriage violates the covenant made between a man and a woman when they marry. This covenant symbolizes the covenant between Christ and His Bride, a covenant that is sacred and holy and pure. Today the cultural consensus is that sex outside of marriage is okay as long as there are two consenting adults. But this is not what the Bible says. It is important to remember that God created sex. It is His idea. And He has established boundaries to the sexual relationship not to keep us from having fun but to protect us from physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual harm.

        Thank you again for reaching out. I pray God’s blessings on your life. May you come to comprehend His love for you in a very deep way.:)

  1. I have to ask do you people really believe this?
    How can souls if they exist be tied by sex for all it’s pleasure it’s just a biological method of reproduction. Just animals trying to make More animals before they die.

    • Hi, Edward,

      Thank you for your comment. Yes, people really believe this. 🙂 The reason is that God created us as three-part beings. We have a spirit (who we really are at the core); we have a soul (our mind, our will, and our emotions); and we live in a body. We are not just a physical body. If that were the case, then, yes, you would be right in saying that sex is just a means of reproduction. But we are higher than animals. We have thoughts and feelings, and we can speak.

      In Psalm 139, God tells you that He made you and that you are an awesome creation of His. I encourage you to read that Psalm. You are far more valuable than you think. You are not just a compilation of molecules. You are a man created in the very image of God.

      Thank You again for your comment. I deeply appreciate your taking the time to share your thoughts. Blessings to you, Edward!

  2. I’m doing a talk on soul ties and all I can gather frm it is a soul, mind will and emotional tie. Still no talk of spirit transfers. When King Saul disobeyed God the spirit of the Lord left him and he was given a spirit of torment. That had nothing to do with sex.Is there a scriptural evidance of this transference.? so far it seems more theoretical. Becoming one body even with a prostitute may make them married but nothing of a spiritual transfer. It’s a good example but where are the facts. Jesus delivered a legion and sent them to the pigs. They in turn ran off a cliff and died, where did the spirits go from there. Looking for a clean place. Spiritual settling comes through the mind by what one believes. I’m open to any scripture that supports your statements. Give me facts. Also it sounds like spiritual possession.

    • Hello, Mr. Rakowski:

      Thank you for your comment on my blog post titled “Sex and Soul Ties.” You are right that a soul tie is not a tie of spirit to spirit but, rather, of soul to soul. As you rightly state, the soul consists of the mind, the emotions, and the will.

      There is no spirit transfer in a soul tie in the sense that the spirit of one person is not transferred to the spirit of the other person involved in the relationships. One human spirit cannot be transferred to another human spirit.

      In an illicit sexual relationship, that which is transferred are the evil spirits oppressing one or both parties. Just as Jesus transferred the evil spirits from the demoniac’s soul to the souls of the pigs, so are the evil spirits harassing one person’s soul transferred to the soul of the other person with whom one has illicit sexual intercourse.

      The soul is connected to both the spirit and the body and is the bridge between them. The soul is also included in the concept of the “flesh” as described in the Bible. The flesh consists of the body and the soul.

      I hope this answers your very valid and excellent questions.

      Scripture verses on soul ties:

      In the two verses below, the word “flesh” includes the soul as well as the body:

      Ephesians 5: 31— “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”

      Mark 10: 7-9: Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife,[a] 8 and the two shall become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two but one flesh.

  3. Sex and Soul Ties;
    Hi Mary Ann. I just read your article on this subject and it is absolutely right on! Thank you for sharing it and using your gifts and talents for the body of Christ. You are such a blessing to the body of Christ.

  4. hey my name is nathan bethea i’ve just turned 18 and had sex for the 1st time ever, after having sex i felt this pain because I knew me and this person would not be together. it hurts me and my soul i fell so connected to the girl. I didnt know sex would feel or be like that. In this world of sin they teach sex as if its something fun to do, and once u do it, its not wat they say or looks like. im sorry to you and God for my sins, and i will not have sex again. but these things should be talked about and tought to us kids or young ones the right way. they know sex do this to people, that why they teach to younger ppl or virgins so they to can feel this pain, and now Im sad because i to feel it now. the demons that Ive gained tell me just do the same that was done to me to others, have sex with virgins take there souls, but i fight hard and refuse that why Im here today on this page. One question how do u break this tide, and can i become an virgin again?

    • Dear Nathan,

      Thank you so much for writing and for your courage in reaching out and admitting your sin.

      First of all, I want you to know that God loves you no matter what you have done. He hates sin but He loves you!

      I can tell from your post that you are very sorry for what you have done. God sees your heart and wants to forgive you. That is the reason He sent Jesus Christ to die for us—to pay the price for our sins. When a person is sorry for his sin, God will never turn him away.

      So let’s go to God now and ask Him for forgiveness. I will lead you in a simple prayer to ask God’s forgiveness and to receive Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord.

      Lord Jesus, I come to You just as I am. I admit that I have sinned by having sex outside of marriage. I am so very sorry and ask You to forgive me. I receive Your forgiveness and ask You, Jesus, to come into my life. I receive You as my Savior and my Lord. Take away this pain, Jesus. Make me what You created me to be. And use me to warn other young people that sin always brings pain but that following You, Jesus, always brings life. In Your Name I pray. Amen.

      If you prayed this prayer, Nathan, you are now born again and a child of God. I would suggest that you go to the girl involved and ask her forgiveness, too. Then ask God what to do about your relationship with her.

      You have made a very wise choice not to have sex again until you get married. God’s commandments are not to keep us from having fun but to protect us.

      To answer your question, you can break this evil tide only by the power of Jesus. If you sincerely prayed the prayer above and accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, you now have His power in you to resist the devil. Whenever you are tempted, or whenever you hear the devil’s voice telling you to do something evil, just call out the Name of Jesus. Just say “JESUS, help me!” and He will.

      Also, while you cannot become a virgin again physically, you can become a virgin spiritually by obeying God’s commandment not to have sex until you are married. If you have confessed your sin to Jesus, you are now clean and forgiven. He says this in the Bible, in 1 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.” So, if you have confessed your sin to God, He will keep His promise to forgive you and to cleanse you.

      Please let me know if you have prayed the prayer to receive Jesus as your Savior and Lord. Get yourself a Bible and start reading it every day. Start in the Gospel of John, in the second half of the Bible. Also, pray every day. Prayer is just talking to Jesus as you would talk to your best friend because Jesus is your Best Friend. 🙂

      Yes, you are right that young people need to be taught these things. Maybe God will use you to teach them what you have learned the hard way. One wonderful thing about God is that He takes our mess and turns it into our message! 🙂

      I look forward to hearing from you, Nathan. Meanwhile, I am praying for you.

      Blessings,

      Dr. MaryAnn

  5. My wife had an affair. She slept with her old boyfriend. I had a would tie for her infidelity i had no knowledge of. I found weird thoughts of lust and had issues and could not understand why? She ended up divorcing me and i had a real issue getting over the thoughts of her in sex acts with the other guy. I asked God to take away the would tie with my former wife and i was instantly healed from the pain and thoughts of sex with her and her boyfriend haunting me. If you are not the one cheating and you don’t break the soul ties to a cheating spouse you can still suffer consequences you didn’t cause.

  6. I do agree that Jesus can break the bonds of anything.

    However, I truly think this is wrong. What if a person was molested for years and was forced by him to have sex with others as a child and teenager and had no control over that? I think a person has to mean something to you for there to be a tie.

    • Thank you for your valued comment, Melinda. The kind of soul tie to which I refer is not a natural relationship soul tie but a spiritual soul tie. In other words, it has more to do with the demonic spirits involved in the relationship than in the people involved. When a child is molested, demonic spirits, such as fear, can take hold of a child’s soul and cause a spiritual tie to the person who molested the child. But yes, you are right that Jesus can break any and every unhealthful bond.

      I would refer you to this resource for more information: http://www.greatbiblestudy.com/soulties.php. God bless you!

  7. I am so grateful for your email information that you have really taught me about how the bastard children and unfaithful parents who produces and how God himself talks about them.
    I would like to be receiving different lessons from you if you don’t mind.
    kind regards
    Charles k

  8. I really have so much I want to ask you or say but I guess what I want to ask you first is you say that in God’s eyes you are married if you have had intercourse – does that mean that if me and my boyfriend decide we want to be together for the rest of our lives and proceed to have sex before moving into together ( because of financial situations and living situations) but before God feel obligated from there on to proceed to move in together and get a marriage licenses that is ok…or are we still fornicating?

    • Thank you for writing, Chris. You ask a very good question. The answer is that an unmarried person is fornicating if he or she has sex outside of marriage. If one of the partners is married, then that partner is committing adultery.

      When I wrote that, in God’s eyes, a man and woman are “married” if they have had intercourse, I did not mean that they are “lawfully” married before God. What I meant is that they have formed an illicit spiritual and physical union that God does not approve of because it was not established according to His design for marriage. His design for marriage is that one man marry one woman and they remain committed to each other alone sexually, and in every other way, until one of them dies.

      Having sex outside of marriage forms a “union” between a man and a woman, but it is an evil union, not a righteous one. God never approves of sexual intercourse outside of marriage.

      Many couples today cite financial reasons as reasons for living together. This is a lie of the devil and sounds good but is a trap. I would recommend that you and your boyfriend get married lawfully in front of a pastor who honors God’s Word before you begin living together. Otherwise, God cannot bless your disobedience. If you truly love each other, you will be willing to commit to each other for life in a lawful marriage relationship.

      If you want to live the truly good life, always do things God’s way.

      • Thank you so much for your response – I’ve had some good Christian people say that the marriage license is just a paper it’s the covenant in your heart that matters as long as we realize that once we have had sex and commited before God in our hearts and stay committed we’re not fornicating – but it seems to me that following this advice is not good – wish I could email you personally

        • Hello, Chris,

          You are right in believing that the advice you have been given by some Christians is contrary to God’s Word.

          God does not consider “living together” as marriage. Read John 4: 17. Jesus is talking to the woman at the well who is living with a man, and she says to Jesus, “I have no husband.” Jesus responds, “You are right.” So, a man and a woman who are not married but living together in a sexual relationship are not married in God’s eyes.

  9. And after the soul tie is broken the other person’s soul fragment has to be sent back to its owner, and the demons cast out, it doesn’t happen automatically once the soul tie is broken. Speaking from my own experience…

      • Thank you for reaching out, Lola, with such an excellent question. To break a soul tie, you go to Jesus Christ and invite Him into your life to be Your Savior and Lord. This is the first step. After you invite Him into your life, You will receive His power and grace to break the soul tie. Simply renounce every negative soul tie in the Name of Jesus and ask the Lord to restore your soul. He promises to do this in Psalm 23:3. I hope this answers your question. If not, please let me know. Many blessings to you!

    • Dear Samantha,

      Thank you so much for reaching out with your excellent question: “How can the soul tie be broken?” The answer is very simple. The soul tie is broken through the power of Jesus Christ.

      If you have been born again—that means, if you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord—then you have the authority and the power through Him to break every soul tie.

      So, Step 1 is to accept Christ. F you have not done so, go here: https://maryanndiorio.com/how-to-live-forever

      Step 2: Once you have accepted Christ, pray a prayer like this:

      Lord Jesus, thank You for setting me free of all unhealthful, evil soul ties. With the authority that You have given me, I break every demonic soul tie in my life. With the power You have given me, I release Your healing into my soul. You promise in Your word, in Psalm 23: 3, that You restore my soul. So I thank You for restoring my soul to wholeness and health. In Your Name I pray, believe, and receive. Amen.

      And there you have it! It’s done. 🙂

      Now, be aware that Satan does not like us because we belong to Christ. So he will try to make you think that nothing happened. Or he will try to make you feel negative emotions again. When that happens—and it will happen, so don’t be surprise—just say this: “I resist you, Satan, in the Name of Jesus because Jesus said He restores my soul. And Jesus cannot lie.” Say this prayer whenever you need to and as often as you need to.

      Step 3: Study the Bible, especially the New Testament. Memorize verses that speak to you. Think about God’s Word. In short, develop your relationship with Jesus. He will make you strong. 🙂

      And now, I would like to pray for you:

      Father God, I come to You in the Name of Jesus, on behalf of Samantha. I thank You and praise You for her life. I thank You for her desire to be all that You created her to be. Guide her, Lord, with Your wisdom and discernment. Fill her with the joy of salvation that You died to give her, Jesus. Make her what You created her to be. Amen!

      I will continue to pray for you. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to write to me.

      With love and blessings in our precious Jesus,

      Dr. MaryAnn

  10. I’m so glad I’ve safeguarded my virginity since my teens. I’ve always known that this is a true thing, and it’s why I don’t buy into hook-up culture with any of those dating apps, I’ve never used one and don’t plan to change that. Thank you for confirming that I’ve been doing the right thing, it feels good to have a pure body and soul because of putting God’s wishes first. More people need to be chaste and not sell out for temporary feelings that leave them feeling used and discarded. It happens every day. Many of my cousins that are in my age range have so many issues due to their strong promiscuity from their earlier years of young adulthood, and I’ve seen with my own eyes and heard with my own ears how miserable and tormented they are.

    • Dear Maddy,

      Thank you for reaching out. Romans 10: 9-10 tells us how to know if we are saved: “If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”

      So . . .

      1) Do you believe that Jesus is God and the only Savior of the world?
      2) Do you believe that Jesus rose from the dead?
      3) Have you said aloud to others that Jesus is the Lord?

      Acts 3: 19 also tells us how to be saved: “Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away.”

      4) Have you repented of your sins and turned to God to forgive You?

      If you have taken the above steps, then you are saved. Be at peace.

    • Thank you for reaching out, Xavier. Yes, the Bible tells us in Romans 6: 23 that “the wages of sin is death.” Sadly, many people do not believe that truth and suffer the consequences.

      I pray that your cousins will repent of their sin and turn to the Lord for forgiveness and salvation.

  11. For the first time in my life I am in a relationship with man who does not love me and controls me with a physical relationship that is so powerfully addictive. I realize he’s taking away so much from me and I don’t even recognize myself at times. I asked for God’s forgiveness and yet I know that this man’s dominance over me is eating away soul. Every time I’m with him, I take the scraps of physical intimacy that he’s offered me our more attractive and addictive to me than other men who would love, respect and honor me with marriage.

    All of his previous relationships with women have been women who were unfaithful selfish women as well as the fact he witnessed this even from his own mother cheating on his father. I believe that his attraction to me is the great trust that he’s finally been able to place in a woman because of all of the values that I hold dear because of my relationship with God. He sees something in me and he’s never seen another woman. Yet he’s taken control of me with a complete dominance and our intimacy has allowed all of previous women with whom he has been intimate to fill me with great amounts of guilt and it is creating so much guilt but yet I returned to him every time he calls for me. I am usually the strongest willed woman who walks away and yet I find myself not capable of not desiring his incredible dominance and physicality. I pray for forgiveness yet I return to have him disrespect me physically emotionally and mentally and act like a drug addict who becomes more addicted each time he just uses me. Our acts are more and more depraved every time and he chooses to make sure I am aware it is a physical attraction and he wanted me and would have me on his terms and often reminds me he will never love a woman because it makes him stronger than any woman and I am just always going to be no more than used.

    God forgive me for becoming this person who lets herself become more and more disrespected and returns to him over and over as my self worth lowers each time.

  12. I have found myself in a relationship with a man who does not love me and carefully chose me to use me in a relationship where he’s greatly dominant and I am feeling my soul being caught in the myriad of previous bad relationships he’s had for the women who have cheated and lied and been not women of faith. Even his own mother cheated on his father. He finds my pure heart and pure soul something that I believe he had to have and used a strong will, much dominance and a great amount of physicality.

    I have been a Christian and believer since I was a very young child. I have never allowed myself to continue to walk back into the fire where I am burned over and over and I’m filled with self-loathing yet I know when he calls I return. I believe our souls are becoming so greatly entwined that I find his strong willed dominance a place where I am unable to walk away and yet know better than to believe this conduct is ruining me for a future relationship with a man of God who will treat me with love and respect and marry me. Instead I let this man break me down further and further as I become weaker and weaker willed.

    Please pray I find the strength to stop falling further into depravity and taking his emotionless dominance and look at myself with respect and pray God will forgive me my weakness.

    • Thank you for reaching out. If you are truly born again, then you have the power through the Name of Jesus to overcome any and every power. The Word of God says this in Luke 10: 19: “I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.”

      The first thing I would do is to affirm your relationship with Christ. Pray this prayer now:

      Lord Jesus, I need You. I acknowledge my sin before You. My sin breaks Your heart. I repent of my sin and ask You to forgive me. You promise me in Your Word that I truly confess my sin from my heart, You will be faithful and just to forgive me of all unrighteousness.

      I choose by an act of my free will to turn away from my sin and to embrace You as my Savior and my Lord. Jesus, I cry out to You to deliver me and to set me free from this bondage of the enemy. I receive You now as my Savior and Lord. In Your Name I decree that no weapon formed against me shall prosper. I thank You that greater is He Who is in me than he who is in the world. I receive Your grace to resist this evil man. Guide me, Holy Spirit. Protect me and give me Your wisdom, courage, and strength of will. In Your Name I pray, Lord. Amen

      The second thing you need to do is to find a pastor and a church to stand with you. I sense that you do not attend a church nor do you have fellowship with other believers. You must find a good church that teaches the entire Bible without compromise. Perhaps you know a Christian woman whom you trust and who is faithful to God. Confess your situation to her and ask her to hold you accountable to your decision for Christ.

      The third thing you need to do is to recognize that while you cannot resist this man in your own strength, you now have God’s strength. When you are tempted to submit to this man, cry out to God for His grace to resist. God is faithful to help you. Here is His promise to you in 1 Corinthians 10:13″
      “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.”

      The fourth thing you need to do is to study the Word every single day. In so doing, you will be renewing your mind to think as God thinks and to see yourself as God sees you. You are not powerless in Christ. You are victorious!

      Now I would like to pray for you:

      Father God, I come to You in the mighty and matchless Name of Jesus on behalf of Julie. In the Name of Jesus, I drive out every foul spirit of hell that is holding her in bondage to this evil man. Lord God, restore her soul. Bridge the gap between the love she needed and the love she received from the instant of her conception until now. In the Name of Jesus, I command the spirit of control to loose her! In the Name of Jesus, I command the spirit of powerlessness to loose her! In the Name of Jesus, I command the spirit of fear to loose her! In the Name of Jesus, I command the spirit of rejection to loose her! In the Name of Jesus, I command the spirit of abandonment to loose her! Lord, deliver her from the effects of the father wound. O God, I ask that You would reveal to Julie how deeply and infinitely You love her. Help her to see herself as You see her–mighty in Christ and able through Christ to resist every attack of the enemy. Give her Your peace, O God, and restore to her the joy of her salvation. Thank You for hearing this prayer, O God, that I make in faith in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

      Expect to see changes in your life, Julie. Send me a praise report. 🙂

      Love and Blessings,

      MaryAnn

  13. Hi my name is inno
    I am here in Africa. I’ve been having addiction problem ever since I was 13. I’ve been masturbating as well as admiring minors for half of my life and since masturbation is not enough its leading my heart to go sleeping with a prositute nw I am 21, I am still doing it continuously up to today, I’ve tried so many ways to stop this! I can only last for sometimes and resume it again? Am so afraid that this could end my life someday? Could you help me please??

    • Dear Inno,

      Thank you for reaching out. I am sorry you are suffering, but Jesus is the Answer. First of all, are you born again? This means have you repented of your sin and accepted Jesus hrist as your Savior and Lord? If not, that is the place to begin. So, pray this prayer with me now from your heart;

      Lord Jesus, I acknowledge that I am a sinner. I choose to turn away from my sin. But I cannot do so in my own strength and in my own power, for I have none. So I invite You now to enter my life and to be my Savior and Lord. Forgive me of my sins. Make of me want You created me to be. Thank You that I now belong to You and that You have given me the power and the grace to overcome sin. In Your Name I pray. Amen.

      Now that you have prayed this prayer, you are born again. This means that God has given you a new spirit and has made you a new man. When you are tempted to sin again, turn immediately to Jesus to help you to resist the temptation. He has given you the grace to overcome every temptation. So, when you are tempted, say this:

      Satan, in the Name of Jesus I command you to leave me. You no longer have authority or power over me. I belong to Jesus Christ and He has given me the power to resist you. So flee from me in the Name of Jesus.

      The Bible states this in James 4: 7: “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”

      These are your next steps:

      1. Get yourself a Bible and read it every single day. Start in the New Testament, the second half of the Bible.
      2. Think about what you read and how it applies to your life.
      3. Begin to memorize verses that strike you in a special way.
      4. Ask the Lord to lead you to a good church where you can have fellowship with strong men of God who can minister to you, teach you, and pray for you.
      5. Pray every day. Talk to Jesus throughout the day.
      6. Be baptized in water.
      7. Ask God to baptize you with the Holy Spirit.

      I will continue to pray for you. Do not be discouraged. Jesus is the way of escape for you. Trust Him and stay close to Him.

      God bless you!

      Dr. MaryAnn
