Keys to Freedom: Restoration
Understanding Soul Ties
Today’s Focus: Keys to Freedom from Soul Ties Part 3: Restoration
Scripture: Psalm 51:10-13
Greetings Sons of God:
Psalm 51:10-13: Create in me a clean heart O God and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
So after we have acknowledged our sin, renounced the soul tie and repented, the Lord in all His wonderful mercy and lovingkindness (Psalm 51:1) will restore you to a righteous position in Him. Understand sin cannot stand in the sight of God and David cried out for a clean heart and a renewed spirit from the sin he had committed. In Psalm 23 David asks for His soul to be restored. Why ask for our soul to be restored?
In the process of restoration is ordering parts of the body back to the original configuration set by God in the Garden and restored by Jesus Christ through His death, burial and resurrection. Before the fall this was the order of the being called man:
Holy Spirit communes and testifies with your spirit -> Your soul blindly follows the spirit -> Through your flesh, Manifest the will of God in the Earth
But after the fall this arrangement was corrupted and we became soul dominant:
Eyes of the spirit are closed → Soul interprets everything → Flesh manifest the desires of the soul
Notice when we are soul dominant there is no revelation or communion with the spirit. Now in the case of the believer or the son of God the spirit and the soul are warring against one another. The spirit desires to do the will of God but your soul desires to do what it feels is comfortable and safe. David asks for his soul to be restored because it was in the wrong place for a person seeking the heart of God. David asks the Lord to renew or bring back the original mindset and state that places me in right-position with the Lord. So when the Lord restores us, it is up to us to stay obedient and avoid situations that can trap us back into those un-godly soul ties and covenants. The Lord restores you so that you can accurately represent Him in the Earth and put the culture and nature of the Father on display. Wen He restores you, it is up to you then to stay the course and obey His voice.
Romans 8:14: For as many as are led by the Spirit of God they are the sons of God
It is time to come from being unequally yoked with un-godly soul ties. The Lord will not be a third wheel in your life. He is your Source, Abba, Father and in order to manifest His perfect will, you must present your body as a living sacrifice, HOLY and acceptable unto God.
Peace, Love and Grace,
