FORWARD
When David and Donna Carrico asked me to write the Forward for their new book, I was blessed to be able to say that I would. I am a Therapist who works with survivors of Satanic Ritual Abuse, and often wonder why resources that deals with these particular issues have not been available for them.
That is why when I read Gilead’s Balm I was delighted to see a book put together that is practical and comes from a Biblical perspective.
Survivors that suffer traumatic abuse have many issues and it takes time for them to heal. We live in an instant society and want to be delivered quickly and painlessly. One of the benefits from using Gilead’s Balm is that it takes the survivor through a process that is solid in God’s Word.
When a survivor comes to the saving Grace of Jesus Christ and learns to replace the lies that they were forced to believe with God’s truth healing comes. I believe that Pastors, lay counselors and professionals all need to not only read this book but to add it to their library.

DEDICATION
This book is dedicated to all of God’s hurting people. When we hurt, God hurts. We pray this book will be a help when ministering to those hurting. We also want to offer the healing balm for their souls. We can have victory through Jesus Christ. God loves his people and wants them to be healed, at peace, and full of joy. He wants them working to bring others into His Kingdom, and anxiously awaiting the return of His Son, Jesus Christ.
For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me. {22} Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
Jeremiah 8:21-22
INTRODUCTION
Our goal is to help heal the wounded and guide them to freedom in Jesus Christ and to provide a user friendly resource tool for ministers, therapists, and counselors. If you are not a Christian, you can learn how to become one. If you are already a Christian, you can obtain greater freedom in Christ by working through the SEVEN STEPS TO VICTORY IN JESUS CHRIST. It is important for every Christian to know WHO WE ARE IN CHRIST (see Appendix One). It is even more important to know WHO CHRIST IS IN US.
We want to make it known to all that we are not professional counselors. We are just ordinary people that God has seen fit to use in this area of ministry. We have had hands on experience for several years in dealing with the horrors of different types of abuse and those it leaves behind.
Therefore, we write this book to help speed the healing process for God’s hurting children. We want to apply the healing balm of Gilead found in God’s word to heal the broken, the ones who have been taken captive, the wounded victim-survivors of all types abuse and all those who want freedom in Jesus Christ.
WE FIGHT THIS BATTLE AGAINST SATAN AND HIS DEMONS FROM A POSITION OF VICTORY
Jesus has already won the battle…
SOUL TIES ARE THE RESULT OF SINFUL SEXUAL OR ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR
A soul tie is a spiritual bond between our soul and the soul of another person, or between our soul and a demonic spirit.
We have seen the effect of soul ties several times in the lives of attractive and intelligent teenage girls who have made the mistakes of having sexual relations with a “looser”. Many times the girl will admit that she doesn’t like this boy and that he treats her so badly , but she is still unable to get away from him, or to break off the relationship. This is because a soul tie was formed between her soul and his because of the sexual union.
Soul ties can also be seen at work with battered women who return again and again to the men who beat them. and in the lives of men who are hen-pecked and controlled by abusive women.
Women as well as men are very capable of using seduction and the sexual bond as a means of manipulation and control. God created the sexual act to procure children and for the mutual pleasure of the husband and wife. It is sinful for a husband or wife to use the sexual union for manipulation or control.
Many witches are also aware of the power of the soul tie and cults and gangs will also use the sexual act as an initiation rite to bond the person to the group.
THE BIBLICAL UNDERSTANDING OF SOUL TIES
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; (81 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
Mark 10:7-8
The Biblical word that describes this bond that takes place is “cleave”. The Greek word is kollao and it means to glue or cement your soul to another person’s soul. Vine’s Dictionary of New Testament Words gives us the following definition:
KOLLAO, to join fast together, to glue, cement, …(from Kolla, glue)
When we know that the Biblical word cleave is the Greek word kollao and that it comes from the Greek word kolla, which means glue, it is easier to understand the spiritual damage that takes place as the result of sexual sin.
People that commit repeated and then pulling away causing real spiritual damage to their souls. The damage that results from adultery is even greater because a person is pulling apart the bonds that he or she has formed with their own spouses plus the adulterous partner will also be pulling their own bonds apart. The Bible calls this destroying your soul.
But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
Proverbs 6:32
I Corinthians 6:15-18 warns us of the danger of this spiritual bond that results because of sexual sin.
Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. (16) What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. (1 7) But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. {l 8) Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
1 Corinthians 6:15-18
We can also see the soul tie at work in the Old Testament Scriptures.
And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land. (2) And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her. (3) And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.
Genesis 34:1-3
But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites; (21 Of the nations concerning which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love. {31 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart. (4) For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father.
I Kings 11:1-4
The good news is that Jesus Christ has provided forgiveness and cleansing for our sin:
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 1:9
The following healing balm is often hard to apply because Satan will do all he can to prevent healing. Therefore, we suggest that you first say a prayer asking the Holy Spirit to open the person’s mind so that the person can remember, and to bind any Satanic or demonic influence that may try to interfere with this healing process.
A person needs to get a sheet of paper and write down the name of every person that they have ever had a sinful relationship with. (This list will be their own personal property to dispose of as they wish after she is finished with it. The person does not even have to show it to anyone.) The person then needs to go down the list asking God’s forgiveness and cleansing for each relationship. If all the names or relationships can’t be remembered, it doesn’t matter, God is able to forgive and cleanse when we come to Him with an honest heart. The person needs to be reassured that if he or she recalls a name later, they need to renounce any involvement with them at that time and again ask God to forgive and cleanse them and accept the fact that God has indeed done just that.
After the person has finished praying through the list, anoint them with oil and lay hands on them to break the soul tie to each person on the list. A prayer such as the one below may be said. Please insert the Victor’s name while praying.
Father, in the Name of Jesus, we break all soul ties between (_________) and any other person or spirit that was formed because of any sinful sexual act. Father, we cut these soul ties now by the mighty sword of your Spirit and by the authority of Jesus name. Father, we pray that you send your Holy Spirit to flood (________) soul and to heal each tear and rip on her soul that was caused by these sinful acts. Father, we also pray that you close each door on (________) soul that was opened because of these sinful acts and that your seal them by your Holy Spirit and deny Satan and his demons any access. We pray all this in the Mighty Name of Jesus, AMEN.
AND ANOINTING WITH OIL
1.The use of pornography can result in severe bondage because it opens the mind up to sexual fantasy and creates soul ties between your spirit and demonic spirits. The person must be willing to immediately destroy all pornographic materials and to make a firm decision to break with all forms of pornography (yes, even T.V. and Movies if they have been a problem) to get free of this powerful demonic stronghold.
2.This can also form soul ties with unclean spirits because of the fantasy element.
3.The act of abortion can form soul ties with unclean spirits that can result in depression, self-mutilation, and even suicide.
4.Women who have been involved in Satanic rituals will sometimes have voices in their mind and compulsive behavior during the pre-menstrual-syndrome (PMS) that cannot be explained by general nervousness and irritability that accompanies that time of the month. This can be the result of Satanic rituals that took place during the menstrual cycle.
5.The objects can also be used by Satan as foothold to establish a soul tie with a spirit.
6.We now come to discuss spook phenonomena in the form of sexual experiences, which is surely the most repellent area of pastoral work. There are namely some severely troubled people who have nocturnal sexual spook experiences, and are tormented by them. This is not a matter of “wet dreams” or of the sexual hallucinations of schizophrenics, but of experiences in a waking state. In the history of religion this phenomena is known as incubi and succubae.
The following is good advice from Dr. Neil Anderson:
One man felt something was fondling his genitals at night and at first he thought it was his wife. Rather than stand against it, he participated with it. The experience grew until he could feel the weight of a female body upon him. Then he started to feel the presence in his car as he drove to work. Finally, he started to think, What am I doing? Am I going crazy? Since he participated with it, it grew in intensity and wouldn’t go away.
When he saw me, he was going to bed at night with a Bible between his legs and pictures of Jesus on his body in an effort to stop that attack. No. It didn’t work! He was not freed from that until he renounced his involvement with the sexual spirit, renounced using his body as an instrument of unrighteousness, and then asked God to forgive him.
7. BESTIALITY
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. (24) Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
Leviticus 18:23-24
Bestiality is having sexual relations with animals. A person needs to pray about bestiality if you have been exposed to pornography of that kind or if a person is troubled with excessive thoughts in that area. * Important, read information under sample prayer*
8. CARE-GIVERS, FAMILY MEMBERS
Primarily, soul ties are formed during sexual union or in the previous areas mentioned. However, we have found there have also been problems in come cases where strong emotional attachments occur between care-givers, therapists, and sometimes family members. Sometimes this attachment is so strong that the area also needs cleansing. This has usually been the result of wrong or un-Biblical methods of counseling or just a bond that is formed that keeps a person compelled to have contact with the care-givers or family members in an obsessive way.
After discussing these eight areas, the person needs to make a list of their involvement and actions in those six areas. Definite prayers of renunciation, forgiveness, and cleansing need to be prayed by the person in any of the areas that apply. Following those prayers, anoint them with oil and pray to break all soul ties with the persons or spirits in the name of Jesus.
Father we come to you renouncing our involvement with (name specific areas* that apply). In the name of Jesus and with the mighty sword of the Spirit, we break these soul ties with spirits or persons now. Father, we ask you to send your Holy Spirit to restore and heal any tear or hurt on the soul that was caused by these practices and to take away all ground by which Satan might have any access. In Jesus mighty name we pray, AMEN.
*When praying to break the soul tie for bestiality, pray to break the tie between the animals and also between the unclean spirits. Also be sure to break the curse in Jesus name that goes along with this action.
Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of beast. And all the people shall say, Amen.
Deuteronomy 27:21
Be aware that Satan will try to use shame to keep the Victor from getting free from their sexual sin. Reassure them of the grace, forgiveness and cleansing in the blood of Jesus.
Sexual bondage is very real and powerful and often times the key to victory is sharing your problem with another person and having them pray with you.
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
James 5:16
Reassure them that you will not judge or condemn the Victor for anything that they might share and that Jesus wants to set them FREE!
