Ungodly Soul Ties

One of the things that binds a man or woman is something that I call a soul tie.  Now soul ties are not necessarily a bad thing and in the case of marriage a soul tie between a man and woman who revere and honor God and themselves is a good thing.  But ungodly soul ties are things which binds a man or woman into a habit or to a person who helps to bring about destructive behavior.  An ungodly soul tie is something a person cannot free themselves from without help from the Lord.  Whether that addiction is to sex, alcohol or something like overeating an ungodly soul tie holds a person bound in a particular area and makes it feel like one cannot exist without feeding the habit that has been formed.  People in this state are unable to break free from this unless they have a desire to brake the habit and are committed to making the change.  In most cases these habits need the support of another.  Christ wants to be that person for you.  If you are bound to something that you have hidden in your closet it is time to bring that which is in darkness out to the light where Christ and those whom He has called will be able to break the chain and provide the support one needs to work out the salvation you desperately need.  Please join me this day in seeking Him out and allowing Jesus Christ to be your bondage breaker today!

Why is Marion, Indiana Bound?

I have been in prayer about this for some time and the Lord has begun to realize understanding to me on why a place like Marion, or any other place may be bound from having freedom in the Lord.  The reason why Marion is still bound is because their is a need for a prophetic voice to arise and speak into the atmosphere over the city.  What do I mean by prophetic voice?  A prophetic voice is not necessarily a single man or woman, but is a group of people, called the Church, who rally around the leading of the Holy Ghost and begin to speak and decree war in the heavens against the strong man that holds the place captive.  Remember Jesus mentioned in scripture that when the strong man  is bound than there can be true liberty.  I believe that the strong man over Marion Indiana is utilizing several things to keep the city bound.  One of those things is racism.  Another area that the strong man is using is in the area of the occult and cults.  Places like the Masonic lodge also play a place in helping to keep the spiritual atmosphere over Marion cold. 

Why is it that prayer meetings have become very rare amongst the body of Christ?  I tend to believe that it is because the strong man is content in having us "play church" and leave the church building on Sunday's feeling like we have served our duty without any "true" damage occurring to his strongholds.  When will the Church become serious and when will it realize that the powerless exercises of "religion" have no effect on those we say we are waging war with?  I challenge the Church in Marion and beyond to grasp onto the altar of prayer and to cry out to God repenting of our sin of "prayerlessness" and look to become what He intends us to be.  An army on the move waging war not against flesh and blood but against principalities and every thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God.  Will you join me today?
