New Teaching Series: Understanding Soul ties / The Power of Limitation

Understanding Soul Ties Today’s Focus: The Power of Limitation Scripture: Jeremiah 31:33, 2 Corinthians 3:17 Greetings Sons of God: What is a soul tie? A soul tie is a connection formed through close associations and relationships that affect our lives positively or negatively. Seems pretty straight forward but keep in mind the relationships can either be a blessing or bring destruction. Now before we get into the meat of this study we need to study the beginning and see how this came to be and understand that God desires to have a relationship with us but this relationship is unique because it comes with limitations and those limitations are in place for our benefit, not God’s. God is Holy and Faithful and keeps His every Word, it is us who have fallen short and understanding how we fell will reveal to us how the enemy seeks to legally gain access to your life and bring about confusion, chaos and ultimately destruction. So, let’s dig in and examine the power of limitation 2 Corinthians 3:17: Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty Now when we examine this liberty or freedom in Christ, it is not a freedom that gives us the ability to do whatever we want. That is lawlessness and the Scriptures speak of how God hates the doctrine of the Nicolatianes (Revelation 2:15) which is when you take the grace of God as an occasion to sin in the mindset of believing it will just all be forgiven. That is lawlessness and that is not of God because the Scriptures also say that Jeremiah 31:33 that with the new covenant (Sonship) He will write His laws in our inward parts and in our hearts. So in Christ there are laws that limit us and govern us and when we function within those laws we experience the liberty and freedom of Christ, as God originally designed it. The limitations placed on your life as a son of God is for your protection and benefit. Why? It prevents the devil from getting legal access to you. The devil seeks to gain access to your life and He gains it through disobedience to the laws of limitation. In the next message we will look at the Garden and how the devil seeks to gain this access by trying to extend the laws of limitation placed on you by God. Peace, Love and Grace, Calvin Calhoun, Jr.
