Can Your Life Withstand the White Glove Test?

Today I woke up as I do many Saturdays, with an urgency to clean up and get my home in order. Of course I did the “usual stuff" during the week to keep things orderly, and "looking presentable" but I knew that it was time for a thorough cleaning. I came downstairs and immediately began to assess the job ahead of me. I knew the major areas to hit, like the kitchen, the bathrooms, the living room, etc.  I started to dust, scrub and organize the various areas of the house. When I got to the living room, I decided to pull up the rug and furniture just to be sure there was no dust mites. To my surprise, a spider! I ran franticly to get the broom, swatting at the frightened insect franticly. At this point I was paranoid and began to pull up everything in sight. I tore down the curtains, pulled up the sectional, and moved the plants. Everything was undone just to be sure there was nothing lurking or hiding. Although I found no more bugs, there was an array of objects I had no idea was there. A fork, one of the babies juice boxes, crayons, dust bunnies galore, a battery, some loose change my favorite pen I’d been looking for. I immediately grabbed the broom and got to work. Next came the mop, some cleaner and don’t forget the mop and glow to make it all shine when I was done.

After finishing up, I inspected my work to be sure I did a thorough job. I looked at the base boards and all. Just then God began to speak to me. “Have you cleaned your life the way you have cleaned this room”? I stopped for a minute and pondered this question. I didn’t have to think long because I knew exactly what my father was asking.

Many times, in our lives, we go about our weeks doing the “usual stuff”, just enough to keep things looking nice and clean. We say hello to our neighbors, maybe give a little change to the person on the corner seeking food, go to church on Sunday and maybe we got a chance to catch Sunday school or Bible Study too. We call our parents just to say hey, check on the siblings, read our bibles, tithe, say our prayers and bless our meals. These things, whatever they may be in your life are like cleaning the surface of your life. It is not until you see the spider in your own life and go after it; will you be able to discover some of the hidden dirt and dust bunnies lurking, hidden from plain sight.

Matthew 12:43-45

New International Version (NIV)

⁴³ “When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. ⁴⁴ Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. ⁴⁵ Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation.”

Ephesians 6:26-27

King James Version (KJV)

That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

Be sure to pull up the furniture in your life.  Reveal those things that are easily hidden within your heart. Allow God to come in and clean you, purge you with hyssop and you can pass the white glove test!

Stay Blessed & Walking on Purpose

Breaking Ungodly Soul Ties

SOUL TIES

What Is A Soul Tie?

A soul tie is the knitting together of two souls that can either bring tremendous blessings in a Godly relationship or tremendous destruction when made with the wrong persons.

The bible describes a soul tie also as knitting and cleaving which means to bring together. Follow close after, be attached to someone or adhere to one another as with glue. Joined together.

Although we can

’t find the word soul tie in the bible we can find Knitting and Cleaving in its context.

The Components of Man

Body

Spirit

Soul

Mind

Will

Emotions

 The mind is the thinking part of God and man. The mind is the logical part of man's nature. God's logic is always perfect, but Adam's logic was not. He was not a little God. Adam was responsible for using his mind to arrive at correct conclusions by following the logic of the mind. The conclusions of the mind are directed to the will for the final decisions and actions.

 The will of God and man is free to make final decisions based on input from the mind, emotions and spirit. God's will is always correct, and one does well to see it. God's will is the final source of truth. A person's will makes his final decisions. A man's "last will and testament" is his final direction for handling his affairs after his death. God's will is perfect, but Adam's will was not. He was not a little God. Adam was responsible to use his free will to arrive at a conclusion and to make the final decision. The free will directs and controls the actions of the body. The mind does not control the body as many people believe. The spirit is not in control of the body as falsely claimed. The often heard clich

 The emotions of God include the

é, "The Devil made me do it." is a lame excuse for sin by a person in denial. The will controls the body through the organs of the body such as the nerves, hormones, etc.  Attributes of God. God's attributes are in perfect balance. God hates evil people and loves those who believe His Word. Adam was not perfect, and his emotions were subject to error. Adam was responsible to apply the proper emotional traits as required to arrive at godly decisions, but he failed to do so. A few of Adam's negative traits were laziness, selfishness, self-centeredness, greed, etc. A few of Adam's positive traits were faithfulness, truthfulness, honesty, etc. The emotions respond to a situation with an emotional conclusion that is then directed to the person's will.

Revelation

　

Gen 2:7

And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

When man was created he was directly linked to the source which is the spirit of God. After the Act of eating the forbidden fruit a soul tie was created with the devil. They contracted a Sexually Transmitted Demon (sin)

Prayer To Break Soul Ties

Father, in the name of JESUS, I submit our souls, our desires and our emotions to your Spirit.

"Father, thank you for giving us the keys of your kingdom, the keys of spiritual authority. What We bind is bound and what We loose is loosed. In Jesus name, I ask you to loose us from all soulish ties to past partners and ungodly relationships. Please uproot all the tentacles of sexual bondage, of emotional longings and dependencies, and enslaving thoughts. I bind, renounce and resist any evil spirits that have reinforced those soul ties or may have been transferred to us through evil associations.

Please cleanse our souls and help us to forget all illicit unions so that we are free to give our souls totally to you. Father, we receive your forgiveness for all past sins. I believe we are totally forgiven. Thank you for remembering our sins no more. Thank you for cleansing us from all unrighteousness.
