Sexual Healing
Matthew 19:8 NIV
“But it was not this way from the beginning.”
Genesis 2:24-25 MSG
Therefore a man leaves his father and mother and embraces his wife.
They become one flesh. The two of them, the Man and his Wife,
were naked, but they felt no shame.

Ties
A SOUL TIE is an unseen connection that ties us to a relationship.
1 Corinthians 6:16-18 MSG
There’s more to sex than mere skin on skin. Sex is as much spiritual
mystery as physical fact. As written in Scripture, “The two become
one.” Since we want to become spiritually one with the Master, we
must not pursue the kind of sex that avoids commitment and
intimacy, leaving us more lonely than ever—the kind of sex that can
never “become one.” There is a sense in which sexual sins are
different from all others. In sexual sin we violate the sacredness of
our own bodies, these bodies that were made for God-given and
God-modeled love, for “becoming one” with another. Or didn’t you
realize that your body is a sacred place, the place of the Holy Spirit?
Don’t you see that you can’t live however you please, squandering
what God paid such a high price for?
The soul tie between two people is not broken by PHYSICAL
separation because it’s a SPIRITUAL connection.
The promise of TWO becoming ONE is the greatest BLESSING
inside of marriage, but it’s the greatest CURSE outside of marriage!
Matthew 5:27-28 NLT
“You have heard the commandment that says, ‘You must not commit
adultery.’ But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has
already committed adultery with her in his heart.”

Trauma
“… 97 percent of people with sex addiction suffered emotional
abuse in childhood or adolescence, while 81 percent suffered sexual
abuse. A further 72 percent suffered from physical abuse… People
with a history of trauma can manifest a variety of different
responses that are rooted in their traumatic experiences.” – Patrick
Carnes, Ph.D. (pioneering sex addiction researcher)

Leviticus 5:4-5 NLT
“… suppose you make a foolish vow of any kind, whether its purpose
is for good or for bad. When you realize its foolishness, you must
admit your guilt. When you become aware of your guilt in any of
these ways, you must confess your sin.”

Romans 6:19 NIV
Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to
ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves as slaves to
righteousness leading to holiness.
Romans 1:25 NLT
So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of
the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise!
