- Soul ties can form with assignments, not just people. But, they form through agreement.
You can be emotionally or spiritually attached to a project, job, or ministry that God never called you to.
- They can come from misaligned leadership or coaching.
When you follow the direction of someone not aligned with God’s vision for you, you risk tying your soul to their agenda, not God’s.
- They can be rooted in past failures or old identities.
If you’re still carrying the wounds of a failed launch or the need for approval from the wrong voices, you may be soul-tied to a version of yourself that God has already called you to leave behind.
The Real Reason You’re Stuck: It’s Not Just Fear or Laziness
Idina's Personal Testimony
Idina shares a vulnerable story: she created a prophetic, four-module e-course designed to help women move from identity to healing and provision. Despite having everything ready, she couldn’t launch for over two years. Why? She was still soul-tied to an old version of herself and a past failure—an earlier course built under pressure and misaligned leadership.
What does this mean for you?
If you’re stuck, it may not be a lack of discipline or strategy. The real blockage could be a soul tie to:
- A failed project or business
- The need for approval from a mentor, coach, or leader who didn’t affirm your true identity
- An old identity rooted in performance, not peace
How Soul Ties Block Your Provision
When you’re soul-tied to the wrong things, you’re building with materials God has already told you to burn. This misalignment delays your provision—not because God is withholding, but because you’re not positioned to receive.
Scriptural Foundation:
Galatians 5:1 – “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.”
Action Steps: Breaking Free from Soul Ties
1. Identify Your Soul Ties
Journal Prompt:
Ask yourself:
- What assignments, voices, or identities am I still emotionally or spiritually tethered to?
- Am I seeking approval from someone God has already removed from my life?
- What past failures or old versions of myself am I still carrying?
Practical Exercise:
- List out every project, relationship, or leadership influence that still has an emotional hold on you.
- Note any recurring thoughts of failure, rejection, or the need for validation.
2. Repent and Renounce Misaligned Agreements
Why Repentance Matters:
Soul ties are formed through agreement—sometimes unconsciously. Repentance breaks the agreement and opens the door for healing.
Actionable Steps:
Pray and repent for any agreement you made with misaligned assignments, leadership, or performance-driven work.
Speak out loud:
“I break every soul tie to misaligned instruction, misaligned leadership, and performance-driven work. I renounce the lie that I have to earn what God gave me freely.”
Expert Tip:
Don’t just think these words—declare them. There’s power in speaking truth over your life.
3. Seek God’s Next Step in Faith, Not Fear
Ask for Fresh Direction:
After breaking soul ties, don’t rush to fill the void with another strategy. Instead, ask the Holy Spirit:
- “What step do I take now—not from fear, but from faith?”
- “Where are You leading me next?”
Practical Advice:
- Set aside time for a one-on-one meeting with God. Bring your journal and listen for His guidance.
- Be patient. Sometimes the next step is simply to rest and let your identity be restored.
4. Declare Your Freedom and Restoration
Declarations to Speak Over Yourself:
- I am no longer tied to failure.
- I am released from misalignment.
- I build from freedom, not fear.
- My voice is restored.
- My next move is blessed
Why Declarations Work:
Speaking truth over yourself realigns your mind and spirit with God’s promises, breaking the power of old agreements.

Expert Insights: Nuances of Soul Ties in Kingdom Business
- Soul ties can be subtle.
You may not realize you’re still influenced by a past coach, leader, or failed project until you examine your motivations and emotional triggers.
- Provision flows where peace leads.
If you’re striving, hustling, or building from a place of fear, you’re likely out of alignment. True provision comes when you move in obedience and peace.
- You don’t need another strategy—you need revelation.
Strategies are important, but they can’t replace the clarity that comes from hearing God’s voice and breaking free from what’s holding you back.
Final Encouragement: Your Voice Is a Weapon
“Your voice is a weapon to restore clarity, your calling, and your courage—one word at a time.”
If you’ve been sitting on a God-given assignment, it’s time for a heart check. Don’t wait for someone else’s apology or approval. Sever the soul ties, step into your true identity, and launch what God has placed in your heart.
Key Takeaways
- Soul ties aren’t just about relationships—they can form with assignments, leadership, and old identities.
- Provision is blocked not by God, but by our own entanglements with the wrong things.
- Breaking free requires honest self-examination, repentance, and a willingness to move forward in faith.
- Declarations and resources can help reinforce your freedom and keep you aligned with God’s vision.
