I first learned about Soul Ties in junior high. It was the new big term in the youth Christian world at the time. It sounded sexy but when you really thing about it, Its a heavy thing. I touched on it a little bit in my post,  The Sin You Do To Yourself , but I'll go more in depth here. ------- As a young girl I understood the concept but didn't truly understand it until I was a young adult. So what is a Soul tie? Good question. A soul tie is a spiritual connection created through marriage, sex, or accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord. The first and most perfect example for how a soul tie is supposed to be is the one formed when you accept Christ. The Holy Spirit comes down and resides within you (Romans 8:10-11; 1 Corinthians 6:19). He is there to walk with you, to guide you, to teach you and to help you remember all the things God has promised you (John 14:26). The second example is in Genesis when God created Adam. He said it is not good for Adam to ...

Man doesn't determine who goes to Heaven. I know church folks believe the opposite of this but.... only God saves only God qualifies only God determines who goes to Heaven Now that may not seem fair but you can't go over to someone's house and tell them who they can and can't have over. Heaven is God's home so He can admit anyone He wants to. You just have to get over it. The price of admission is the blood of Jesus and the housewarming gift you have to bring is your belief and confession in the fact that Jesus died for your sins. Will you accept the invitation?

Theology is the study of the nature of God and religious belief (Dictionary.com). Theology is nice but theology does not equal the Gospel. In the Christian faith people can interpret what the Bible says in different ways because everyone brings their different perspective and worldview to anything they read. However, there are foundational truths that exist in the Word of God REGARDLESS of ones theology. What are the facts: In the Bible it says... -We were created ( Genesis 1:26-27 ) -We had a personal relationship with God (He walked with Adam and Eve in the garden Genesis 3:8 ) -We sinned (Adam and Eve ate from the forbidden tree Genesis 3 ) and it destroyed that relationship causing sin to enter the world and us to all be born into sin -Over the years people worked to get the relationship back but they were only temporary fixes (atonement by animal sacrifice; Hebrews 9:1-10 ) -Jesus was born ( Matthew 1:18-25 ;  Luke 2:1-20 ) -Jesus died to be the permanent solutio...

The ability to choose it under attack. But this is not the first time nor will it be the last. Starting from Adam and Eve God has given us choice. The choice to love Him, the choice to obey Him, the choice to walk with Him, the choice to worship Him. He's never tried to stifle it, He's never tried to force anything or take it back. He gives you the ability to freely choose how you want to live your life. God of course has a direction He wants you to go that will bring you a future and a hope ( Jeremiah 29:11 ) but you ultimately have the ability to make the choice you want to make. So if no one has ever told you; CHOICE IS OF GOD! At every turn in this country people try to stifle choice in the name of God but that is not of God. I am a pro-choice person because I believe that you have the right to make decisions about your body, who you date/marry, etc and that having choices does bring life. Everyone is entitled to have the best information they can to make a well in...

We are talking the Gift of Relationship and this has to be one on my favorite songs by Anointed. It's saying Take Me Back because God has never left us, we walked away and the amazing things about God is that He is always willing and able to take us back. ♯♭I don't love you like I used to When nothing came between my god and me And somehow it seems I've lessened my dependence And wonder why it's not the way it used to be But I'm ready to learn how to faithfully love you With my heart, my soul and my mind Take me back, take me back To the time I fell in love I don't serve you like I used to 'Cause I'm too busy serving me And I don't spend the time with you I need to And wonder why my soul cannot find peace ♭ But I'm ready to learn how to faithfully serve you With my hands, my life and my time Take me back, take me back To the time I fell in love (Take me back, take me back, take me back there) In ...

It wasn’t until I was much older that I truly understood that Salvation was more than a get out of hell free card. I accepted Christ when I was a little girl. Partly because I had the fear of God in me but also because even as a child I understood the value of being loved no matter what you do. I have leaned on that truth constantly throughout my life. I often identified with Mary the mother of Jesus when it says she held these things in her heart Luke 2:19). I am very much like that. The words that people say to me or sow into me go straight to my heart, both good and bad. The good things can take me high but the bad things always take me real low and they linger. Being told you are not good enough even when you did your best or being excluded or being disqualified for no reason or being tossed aside for making a mistake messes with you. I often go to God in these moments God often comes to me and whispers to me but I love you, you are enough . This relationship has been crucial in m...

Is the gift of God through Jesus Christ our Lord. We get it all wrong when we tell people they are going to hell. So let me debunk some myths. Being gay doesn’t mean you are going to hell. Cursing doesn’t mean you are going to hell. Having sex before marriage doesn’t mean you are going to hell. Wearing skirts, having an abortion, voting for a female president, getting pregnant out of wedlock does not mean you are going to hell. _________ does not mean you are going to hell. In the blank please add that thing that was told to you in Sunday school so you wouldn’t do it. So the question isn’t what makes you go to hell. According to the Bible, the moment we were born we had a one way ticket there. There are no levels to this. There is no sin that is better than the next or is a little better or is a little worse than the others. The result of all of it is the same. No relationship with God and an eternity burning. "For the wages of sin is death ; but the gift of God is eternal life t...

In our lives it is easy to feel enslaved. To your job, by the government, by money, by your fears, by your own mind. I know I can get stuck in the trap of feeling like life is closing in and there is no way out. And then I'm reminded that God has set me free. As a child of the Most High God,  Galatians 5:1 (The MSG) says, Christ has set us free to live a free life.  So take your stand!  Never again let anyone put a harness of slavery on you. I AM FREE! Let Paul's words be a reminder in these uncertain times that you are free, so stand firm in that. __________________________________________________________________________________ Bethel Music has this great song which is the title and inspiration for this post. Whenever you feel bound listen to this song, read its words and come to know the freedom that exists through accepting the wonderful gift of salvation from our Wonderful Savior, Jesus Christ!  Be Blessed!
