"Your husband sinned. By his sinning he came into agreement with the Father of Lies and gave demonic spirits legitimate right to oppress him and, because he is the head of your family, opened your family to them also."
I agree with this by 77, and I know it is in the Bible, just can't find it.
When my WH was conducting his affair, I knew that he was inviting sin into our whole family. I should have paid more attention, because it ended up that I had a ONS, which was completely out of character for me.
It was completely my fault and I am very repentant, but I do believe that it never would have happened if we were leading a godly life as a couple.

I would put it kind of in the sense that your husband
"believes"
his soul and OW's soul met
Not that they REALLY did.
The idea is in his HEAD that they did.
They didn't - because the whole concept of the affair is completely and surely meant to
STEAL YOUR HUSBAND'S SOUL.
THE EVIL ONE IS IN THIS - TO WIN IT
DON'T THINK FOR ONE MINUTE IT IS ANYTHING DIFFERENT THAN THAT.
To place a religious connotation in it that their "SOULS MET" would mean, to me, that Satan got in their and helped their souls meet only to help his evil plan.
Yeah. Maybe their souls met.
But your husband still had a chance to resist temptation, and chose not to do so.
And he CAN STILL CHOOSE TO RETURN TO GOD'S FOLD,
Can't he?
The answer is,
he can.
And that soul-crappolla????
Is simply another way of someone trying to justify this idiotic behavior.
Yet again.

Lucky to be where I am, in a safe place to get marriage-related support.
Recovered.
Happy.

While it is true that a WS can and will invite evil into the home, it is also true that the believing spouse can blunt the attack through the power of prayer. I'll just throw a couple thoughts out there, since it's past my bedtime, not the tima for an exhaustive study of demons in the home and family vs. intercessory prayer.  Ezekiel 22
29 The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.
30 And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.
31 Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD. Notice that even though in this story it didn't work out, during the times that Israel was steeped in wickedness, God was looking for someone to "stand in the gap", to intercede for the people and give God the right to intervene. 1 Corinthians 7
10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
16 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife? The blood of Christ, covering a believing spouse, is extended to the unbelieving spouse, and the marriage relation is still holy. I do believe in demon possession, both in Bible times and today, but I do not believe that Mrs. W, AJ, AW, tst, or any other repentant and converted spouse is in need of an excorcist. Certainly involvement in adultery results in a demonic influence that is way above the ordinary, but especially in the context of 1 Cor. 7, the believing spouse has incredible power at their disposal to combat. And you can't "catch" demon possession like an STD. (I would be much more worried about demon possession for someone who had been deeply involved in the occult, etc,) I encourage anyone who wants to know more to study what the Bible has to say about the power of prayer on behalf of others. It is amazing and rewarding.

Breaking soul ties is a part of the entire deliverance process. When in any type of relationship there is a spiritual exchange. Ever notice when you're around someone that is positive and happy you begin to feel the same way? Transversely, when around someone that is negative and miserable you can take on the same demeanor (notice my choice of words)? There are scripture to support such transfers- here's a couple: UnGodly soul ties: Rom 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. Genesis 34:2-3, "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. And his soul cleaved unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob. Godly soul ties: 1 Samuel 18:1,3-4, “And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. Acts 4:32 “And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul.” Here is a website that can help you structure prayers (your spouse) on how to break the soul tie. www.demonbuster.comLastly, with regard to the transfer of spirits - http://www.newwineonline.com/files/pdf/publications/newwineHWS.pdfWhether you agree that there is such a thing or not the point is for deliverance to take place to gain restoration of your marriage. Pray, meditate and seek His face and voice. In that direction you can NEVER go wrong. Blessings!

YouKnowMe1967,
I absolutely believe in the things that you are sayiing and I have read them in the Bible myself. If I were to study the WORD just as much as you have I would have known these things a long time ago. This shows me that I need to step up my study time in God's Word.
I appreciate your knowledge and the websights that you have given me, I did not even realize that something like this existed.
There are answers to everything that happens in this life and God has all the answers.
Thanks again,
Cindy
