#SoulTies 17 starts shortly.
1. Good morning y’all. Pls email me ur testimony on SoulTiesTestimonies@karisministries.org if u have been blessed by #SoulTies tweets.
2. I want to state that we are not here to condemn anyone or stigmatize anyone who has repeatedly fallen into sin due to #SoulTies
3. We are here to expose #SoulTies as the works of the enemy that the blood of Jesus has been shed to purge us from.
4. I also want to say that this isn’t a motivational broadcast but the gospel of Jesus Christ. #SoulTies
5. We are looking at this from the standard of the Word of God and no less. No compromise. #SoulTies
6. The flesh finds the Word and the Spirit of God unbearable but we cannot dilute the message. #SoulTies
7. Please take time off to LIKE our Facebook page using this link http://dld.bz/cU2zp #SoulTies

14. Today, we continue with looking at other entry points for #SoulTies apart from sex.
15. It is widely believed by experts that 50% of emotional affairs aka #SoulTies metamorphose into sexual affairs.
16. If you are involved in a so-called platonic friendship, your chances of ending up in bed are 50%. #SoulTies
17. We will look at platonic friendships soon. Platonic friendships mask unspoken emotional feelings for a while. #SoulTies
18. Today, we are looking at crushes. They are another form of #SoulTies that can be potentially distractive.
19. I also promised a few days ago to disclose my secondary school crush so stay tuned. #SoulTies
20. Let’s start with a few definitions. A crush is a painful experience that involves being obsessed with the opposite sex. #SoulTies
21. A crush is a burning desire to be with someone who you find very attractive and extremely special but have no access to. #SoulTies
22. A crush is also a sad feeling of falling in love with a person who doesn’t know you and who can’t or will never love you. #SoulTies
23. A crush also gives you feelings of nerves and excitement whenever you see them. #SoulTies
24. A lot of times, a crush is kept as a closely guarded secret but often shared with your partners in crime. #SoulTies
25. Public figures like politicians, newscasters, pastors, actors are simultaneously crushed on by many unknown to them. #SoulTies
26. Crushes are very common amongst school kids or students who haven’t reached the legal age minimum for relationships. #SoulTies
27. Crushes are also common where there is a scarcity of members of the opposite sex. I’ll explain in the next 2 tweets. #SoulTies
28. I attended a boys only school and that meant we were all boys with no girls sitting with us. #SoulTies
29. Whenever a new attractive female teacher joined the school, so many of us were crushing on just her. Don’t judge us. Lol. #SoulTies
30. Girls are worse hit here because they r more emotional. More happened in girls only schools but I’ll spare y’all for now. #SoulTies
31. Let’s take things a little further from here about crushes. #SoulTies
32. There r extreme cases where people stretch their imaginations and fantasies a lot further & these happened in real life. #SoulTies
33. Some people have already undressed their crushes, owned their crushes and married their crushes in their thoughts. #SoulTies
34. D very artistic ones spend time drawing pictures of their crushes on pieces of paper while lectures are going on in class. #SoulTies
35. D very poetic ones spend time writing pretend love letters and poems about their crushes during Sunday service. #SoulTies
36. Some even develop intense hatred for the wives of their crushes and see them as competitors. #SoulTies
37. If you know anyone crushing on you, never ever grant them access to your spouse. You may regret it. #SoulTies
38. A lot of times, these crushes fizzle out as you grow up and become more sensible, realizing they can’t happen. #SoulTies
39. Some never grow out of them as satan transformed those crushes into demonic obsessions in their souls. #SoulTies
40. At this level, it technically becomes witchcraft in the realm of the spirit and escalates to ridiculous actions. #SoulTies
41. On many occasions in the West, men have been known to stalk actresses and public figures they were crushing on. #SoulTies
42. As a sidetrack, a number of adult rapists first crushed on their known victims before hatching a plot to attack them. #SoulTies
43. Ladies, a guy who discloses his crush about you may not always be a safe person to be with alone. #SoulTies
44. If u don’t fulfill d dreams he has of you, he may entice u into a location where he can forcibly bring his dreams to pass. #SoulTies
45. Before the women jump out with their pitchforks, “RAPE IS INEXCUSABLE”. Just giving a clue that can help avoid one. #SoulTies
46. Some ladies in church hate the pastor’s wife because she is unfortunately married to their target. #SoulTies
47. Carlton Pearson married very late and several women left the church when he did. They must have all crushed on him. #SoulTies
48. A former UK-based Nigerian singer married recently and I saw ‘aggrieved’ men post sick tweets on my TL about her. #SoulTies
49. When an object of your crush marries, you go through the same emotions felt by a jilted lover. #SoulTies
50. In secondary school, I had an extremely small stature in form 1. I was also a nerd who buried his head in the books. #SoulTies
51. It was a boys only school. Somehow, we began to discover things & changes about ourselves we couldn’t explain. #SoulTies
52. I can’t give you the details here but those changes are summarised in a word called puberty.
53. I was the best French language student in form 1 and we were taught French by a lady called Miss Coker. #SoulTies
54. Was hanging out last week with my old boys on Facebook, we all married with kids but we started disclosing our crushes. #SoulTies
55. That was when I remembered Miss Coker. She was my top crush then. #SoulTies
56. Will tell you more about Miss Coker in #SoulTies 18 and will also address what we need to do about crushes. #SoulTies
57. An unhandled crush can sink your marriage if you don’t deal with it. #SoulTies
58. An unhandled crush can rob you of emotional health in your existing relationships. #SoulTies
59. An unhandled crush can make you have silly expectations of your future spouse or partner that may rob you of joy. #SoulTies
60. Will catch you guys on #SoulTies 18. Gotta run. Hit me up on @solaadio for any comments or feedback. #SoulTies
