Lord, Untie Me!

Lord, Untie Me!

We are living in a time where people get involved with each other first and then ask questions later.  Therefore, by the time they find out that this is the wrong person it’s too little to late. They have fallen in love or lust, had children, met the children, met the family or friends, sent out the wedding invitations, or married them before realizing, I am tied to the wrong person.  And for some because you didn’t ask questions first, now you have had sex with someone with whom you found out is married.  They were so fine, that you had to have them sexually and now you’re stuck with an STD or sitting in an abortion clinic trying to cover up the fact that you have had sex first and asked questions later.  Isn’t it ironic that we will give of ourselves to people we don’t know and will not give our life to Jesus whom we do know.  Now you’re saying, man if I had known you were fine but foul, a cheater, an adulterer, an abuser and a deceiver I wouldn’t have hooked up with you, and neither you, and with you either. For the bible says, that Jesus said, that you have had five husbands and the one you now have isn’t yours. Advertisement  

The bible says this: Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ?  Shall I then take the member of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not! Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her or him?  For the two shall become one flesh.

1 Corinthians 6:15, 16  

Simply meaning we never stop long enough to ask God is this person for me and should I get to know them.  But, we hook ourselves up first and pray later but God gave you signs not to get involved yet you did it anyway.  Often times we assume that it’s God because of that fact that this person makes you feel good in bed.  We justify our wrong doing by saying God knows my heart. God in no way tolerates sin in our lives.  What we want is for God to be in agreement with us after we have sex.  I believe that often times we don’t teach enough about who God is and what He is able to do.  We don’t teach the fear of the Lord. We teach people that God will give them houses, cars, and money and not deal with their attitudes, their sexual appetites, for God said, be holy because I am holy and that we have a form of godliness but we deny the power thereof.   We teach do what you want to do and God will bless it, I want to tell you the devil lied to you.  The bible says, don’t say that when you are tempted that you are tempted by God and that when you are drawn away that you are drawn away by your own lust.   But, we hooked up first and asked questions later.  

As a people we can save ourselves a lot of trouble and heartache if we would seek God first.  Many of us were taught that if I like you and you like me then it’s ok to hook up.  Most people were not taught that destiny has to be involved.  Lord, is this person tied to my destiny?  Don’t you realize that if you’re tied to the wrong people or the wrong person that your destiny can be delayed or even denied and it’s not because God didn’t have a destiny for you but simply because you choose to stay in something that God has called you out of.  People always say that they want what God has for them until they realize that might mean giving up someone, or having to practice celibacy, or remaining single until God is ready for you to marry.  When Jesus met His disciples he simply said, ‘follow me’ and the bible says that they dropped what they were doing and followed Him.  I wonder as you read this, what is God telling you to let go of or who to let go of?  

You must realize that in order to get what God has for you that you’re going to have to let something go. For some God said, let the weed go, clubbing, swinging, that unhealthy relationship, homeboys, girlfriends, and for some even those church members go.

The bible says this: Don’t you know that those who do wrong will not inherit the kingdom of heaven.  Don’t fool yourselves.  Those who indulge in sexual sins, or who worship idols (people, material things) or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes or practice homosexuality, or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive or cheat people –none of these will inherit the kingdom of heaven.  Some of you were once like that. But you were cleansed; you were made holy; you were made right with Godby calling on the name of Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11  

Do you want to get right with God? Then, lift your hands right where you are and tell the Lord please untie Me!  

For some of you the Lord said, I gave you signs not to get involved but yet you ignored them and tied yourself up to them anyway. For someone else God removed them from your life and you went back and tied yourself up to them again.  

But I pray right for you right now in the name of Jesus that God will untie you from everything and everyone who is holding you back.  I pray that your mind be loosed in the name of Jesus.  I pray that your joy, peace, and mostly your destiny be loosed in the name of Jesus. I know you say Sonya but it’s hard but I want you to know that God has power to bring you out of any situation.  Just call on Him, and He will answer you.  I pray that something that has been said helps you to understand the importance of asking God questions first and wait for an answer before you make a move to tie yourself up again.  

Beautifully Speaking,  

Sonya

    Praise God sis! All that is soo true. And we need to confess or shortcomings and our strenths to God so we can be humble and get exhalted by the Father. We need to put Him first in allllll things:mentally, physically, emotionally,financially,spriritually and,scholastically. We need to step it up and be real with ourselves because God already knows! Keep God first so He can continue to bless us through you in the articles. TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!

    Oh, and one more thing - something I learned recently is that Black men and women, especially, are not equipped to solve our own relationship issues because we don't have positive, motivating examples of people who are happily married around us and we didn't have them growing up. We are so scared to ask a neutral 3rd party like a relationship expert or counselor (not necessarily the church official) for help in these matters, but rather we look toward our own twisted understanding about it all. So most of our lives become trial and error, with more failures than successes when it comes to the opposite sex. We play the blame game, and always blame everyone else. You may think you got it down, but if you've always solved your own problems and you STILL don't have a successful relationship, then perhaps a professional visit is in order. We fear being called out for our shortcomings, and build a false reality surrounding relationships in which our "representative" runs the show until our true colors come shining through. Then, conflict rears its ugly face. If we set our pride aside, and finally say - "maybe I need to change my view" perhaps our relationships, intimate or not, change for the better and not always for the worst.

    Can you write something about people staying together through the rough times and using everything they have to work it out - using more than what they THINK they know about relationships to work things out and actually staying together? It seems like our generation is so ready to call it quits, blame the other person for our own shortcomings and move onto the next relationship bringing the same baggage. Sure, it gets tough - but through experience, and looking in a self mirror instead of running to relationship after relationship, we MAY actually take our divorce rate down and marriage rate up. CAN WE PLEASE TAKE THE NEGATIVE OUT OF IT ALL! Talk about the JOY of staying together and working it out sometime.
