You Must Love God More Than Your Family. Breaking Soul Ties From Parents

May 14, 2026

Hello family, as we continue with the series on about vocations and callings. I wanted to share with you prayers to break parental soul ties espeically for those who are young and called by the Lord and sometimes those who are much older but you’re still motivated very much by what your parents did or didn’t do and that dictates your very actions and drive. Jesus wants us all to be free from that, espeically when you decided to follow Him. Parents are so necessary to our training up and nurturing but a time comes where they also have to release you to the Lord. We were loaned to our parents we are not their’s just as much as they are not ours to burden or manipulate as their children.

I went through this trial when I called to go to the mountain. My mom had waited all my years to finally get engaged, get married and so forth. She loved that I now wanted to live for Jesus. She thought I was too radical. She constantly compared me to the ministers she watched on TV and what she knew christianity looked like and felt I was too uptight with everything. She didn’t realize the Lord was calling me much deeper and it would be a painful cost and trial for her too. I didn’t know how painful it would be for me as well because me and my family were very close The Lord permitted my parental and family relationships to come under great fire when I said yes to Jesus.

When I was called abruptly to leave everything and follow the Lord to the Sacred Heart Refuge mountain in New Mexico, I was the care taker of my two little nieces helping my sister and her husband as they were working during the day. So upon leaving there would be no one to watch the children and one of them would lose their jobs. My mother made it clear if I left to go to the mountain she would disown me. They even had an intervention for me the night before with a deliverance minister praying over me. She was just desperately trying to do everything to cause me not to leave because she was afraid of where I was going and how my walk was becoming, very little interaction with the world and a lot of prayer in my room.

I made the bold decision to leave, trusting that the Lord knew all the factors of my life even when he asked me to leave everything and follow Him, He still asked. So that means he would take care of my sister and her family, he would take care of my mom and he would take care of my nieces. Whatever happened he would work it out for our good. So my siblings were so upset and my sister’s husband lost his job and my mom called everyone she knew to beg me not to leave as I rushed to the airport for my flight. They tried fear, intimidation then pleading and nothing worked. I had to follow Jesus at whatever cost. I had to be obedient to what he was asking and I knew all hell was upset.

It was a very rough 2 years on the mountain as my mother would plead constantly for me to come back home. Funny thing is it was my dad who gave me the blessing. The Holy Spirit told me to go to get my blessing, to leave on this journey from my Father and he blessed me to leave and go. I would tell my mom several times she had to learn to let me go that I was the Lords now but it wasn’t easy for both of us.

Matthew 10:34- 39

“Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. 35 For I have come to ‘set[h] a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; 36 and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’ 37 He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. 38 And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. 39 He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.

Finally she did and it got easier between us and it wasn’t until the Lord released me to go back home to officiate my sister’s wedding where they all saw what God had done. As they praised the Lord and honored who I had become because they saw the fruit. My parents were so proud and I was amazed at God’s goodness. How he turned this around because I obeyed. However I realized what strong hold family can have on a soul. The pressure they gave me was so immense that if it wasn’t for the Lord’s grace and the trial I had undergone of coming under a false Jesus before He made it clear I was to leave right away I would’ve stayed. (I have shared this story family in an obedience message which I will have posted in the comments for those who want to know the story)

So I knew the Lord was not playing with me and I never wanted to go through that again so I listened to him despite all that came against His words to me to leave and follow Him. I learned in this trial again the stronghold of family and how one can live their lives for the family name, for their mother or father or care so much what their family thinks that it derails their destiny. This is not from the Lord it’s a soul tie that must be broken.

The Lord gave me the rhema at that time, friendships, sneers, persecution, what is coming against me now and what will continue to come against me, all hell will not stop me from doing the will of God. And I’m poorly paraphrasing it’s from St. Faustian but that has to be the cry of our hearts if we choose to follow Jesus. Parents you must cut soul ties with your children and allow them to fly freely into the call and destiny God has for them. You must at some point surrender them completely into the hands of the Lord. Children we must learn to cut soul ties with our parents and not live for them or live to please them we must live to please the Lord. We must love God more than we love our families and parents. So here are 10 prayer points to walk you through in severing parental soul ties. For many of you on this channel it’s necessary to do this in order to walk in the destinies that the Lord has for you with great courage and obedience to the Lord’s will alone. Let us begin:
