WISDOM IN CHOOSING TYPES OF BONDING 5/26/12
 VISION:
I was examining our glue and I saw that the contact
cement was not the right kind of glue needed, but the
rubber cement was. Contact cement is an instant
aggressive and clingy bond. Rubber cement dries slower
and is more flexible, like pliable rubber. It is used
as temporary bonding material that can come off with
easy removal and damage free.
As I ponder this, I understand the level of bonding the
Lord is asking of His people in relationships and soul
ties is to remain flexible so that there is total
freedom to come and go as the Lord leads. We love
others with a commitment as unto the Lord, but we give
them freedom to come and go more freely. The level of
tenacity and grip expects less commitment and is more
pliable to honor people’s free will.
There are different levels of bonding between people.
Soul ties are when 2 souls are knit together as in the
case of David and Jonathon. Their commitment to one
another was life and death that was a vow that lasted
between their descendants. This is in essence Contact
Cement. Super glue is another name for contact cement
and anyone who has ever accidently put a drop on their
finger and touched it to something, knows the ripping of
the flesh in tearing the finger away!
1 Sam 18:1-4 NKJV
Now when he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul
of Jonathan was knit {7194} to the soul of David, and
Jonathan loved him as his own soul. 2 Saul took him that
day, and would not let him go home to his father's house
anymore. 3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant,
because he loved him as his own soul. 4 And Jonathan
took off the robe that was on him and gave it to David,
with his armor, even to his sword and his bow and his
belt.
OT:7194 KNIT
qashar (kaw-shar'); a primitive root: to tie, physically
(gird, confine, compact) or mentally (in love, league):
KJV - bind (up), (make a) conspire (-acy, -ator), join
together, knit, stronger, work [treason].
1 Sam 20:41-42 NKJV
As soon as the lad had gone, David arose from a place
toward the south, fell on his face to the ground, and
bowed down three times. And they kissed one another; and
they wept together, but David more so. 42 Then Jonathan
said to David, "Go in peace, since we have both sworn in
the name of the Lord, saying, 'May the Lord be between
you and me, and between your descendants and my
descendants, forever.'" So he arose and departed, and
Jonathan went into the city.
We remember how Jacob was knit to his son Benjamin.
This was the same soul tie, beyond the grave.
Gen 44:30-31 NKJV
"Now therefore, when I come to your servant my
father, and the lad is not with us, since his life is
bound up {7194} in the lad's life, it will happen, when
he sees that the lad is not with us, that he will die.
Jonathon was the son of Saul who was a type of king that
did not obey the Word of the Lord, even though he
sacrificed to the Lord. Later the Lord took the
anointing off Saul and passed it to David who was a man
after His own heart. This is a parable of the sons from
denominations being knit together with those of the
chosen, anointed ones who are called by God to lead.
KNIT TOGETHER IN THE NT
The use of being knit together in the NT is being knit
in God’s Agape love for one another. This is a healthy,
united, affectionate love where we are glued together in
God and His family. The word agape has its base in a
logical choice to love, as in a decision and less of a
clingy emotional love. When we are knit together, in
the Gk it means to be organized and framed together
where we connect in united association and fellowship.
Eph 4:15-16 NKJV
Speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things
into Him who is the head — Christ — 16 from whom the
whole body, joined and knit together {4883} by what
every joint supplies, according to the effective working
by which every part does its share, causes growth of the
body for the edifying of itself in love.
NT:4883 KNIT TOGETHER
sunarmologeo (soon-ar-mol-og-eh'-o); from NT:4862 and a
derivative of a compound of NT:719 and NT:3004 (in its
original sense of laying); to render close-jointed
together, i.e. organize compactly:
KJV - be fitly framed (joined) together.
NT:4862
sun (soon); a primary preposition denoting union; with
or together (but much closer than NT:3326 or NT:3844),
i.e. by association, companionship, process,
resemblance, possession, instrumentality, addition,
etc.:
KJV - beside, with. In composition it has similar
applications, including completeness.
Col 2:1-2 NKJV
For I want you to know what a great conflict I have
for you and those in Laodicea, and for as many as have
not seen my face in the flesh, that their hearts may be
encouraged, being knit together {4822} in love.
NT:4822
sumbibazo (soom-bib-ad'-zo); from NT:4862 and bibazo (to
force; causative [by reduplication] of the base of
NT:939); to drive together, i.e. unite (in association
or affection), (mentally) to infer, show, teach:
KJV - compact, assuredly gather, intrust, knit together,
prove.
Other types of soul ties
 PARABLE:
Today our grandson played with a sticky hand, that is
made out of rubber. He tied the sticky hand between the
2 railing posts that are like gates opening to our
sunken living room. So in essence, it was like a rope
saying no access, but it was also a parable of bridging
the gap to form a wall. He was leaning against the
stretching line and when I saw him do this, it reminded
me of David’s sling shot and Goliath. Papa warned him
that it would break and finally it did and flung
wildly. It broke the tie and the little “o” at the
bottom of the line landed in the other room. It looked
like a little rubber life saver.
As I ponder the rubber “hand” I see that it connects
with the buzz word, “contact” glue. The fact that he
was inappropriate leaning on the tie put too much weight
on it and caused it to break. This is true with
inappropriate ties we have with people, the Lord only
wants us to lean on Him and keep our ties with people
pliable movable. When I consider the rubber, I feel the
Lord is saying that He wants us to understand the
difference between the types of contact we have with
people that He brings into our lives.
CONFIRMATION WORD VIA TAO 5/26/12
Tao’s Vision: I stood in front of a big door which 2
sides of the door were held together by the rubber
string. I needed to untie the string in order to come
in. I started untying the string and I did it with great
care. It took me longer that I expected to untie it.
Finally the door was open.
As I pondered on it, I sense that untying the string is
the time of transition; we need to walk prudently in the
transition time. Since rubber is a resilient material, I
consider it is important to be resilient, flexible in
going through the door.
A new season/beginning is upon us, what is on the other
side of door? I was impressive in reading the
scriptures:
"But I will stay on at Ephesus until Pentecost,
9 because a great door for effective work has opened to
me, and there are many who oppose me." (1 Cor 16:8-9)
We just passed the Pentecost; verse 9 above is coming
into view.
{End Tao Word}
SANDY COMMENTS: The Lord gave Tao his Word on the same
day as my rubber Word, they were meant to connect. As
to the application of soul ties, I feel the Lord is
saying that in order to open a new door, old soul ties
with the past need to be separated without breaking, so
there is access to a new place.
For me personally, I was raised a lonely and only child
and when I found what it was like to join a Christian
community, I married the whole concept of cement – soul
tie - glue, hook line and sinker. As the years passed
it was difficult for me to say goodbye when it came to
important decisions of letting go in order to follow the
Lord. I finally learned to guard my heart so that it
was not so painful, and yet still truly love with His
heart in the process. I have learned the same lessons
in intercessory assignments, where I am willing to come
and go as the Lord leads me and not take life long vows
and pledges in these regards. God honestly does not
like vows and we are warned against them.
James 5:12 NLT
But most of all, my brothers and sisters, never take
an oath, by heaven or earth or anything else. Just say a
simple yes or no, so that you will not sin and be
condemned.
WORD TO PONDER: BONDED IN MY LOVE 5/26/12
Dear ones, you have gone through a very long season of
many people coming and going out of your life. You have
rolled with the punches and grown up learning to lean on
Me and no other. Good job! Yes I do want you bonded
with those I have placed in your life but knitted in
such a way that does not grasp, only honors free will
and freedom to follow My will.
Always remember to guard your heart so that you hold
others with an open palm, and not with a grasp that wont
let go. I AM not asking you to make vows and
commitments that last until death and beyond. Rather I
AM asking you to simply love people with My compassion
as you walk into new open doors with great opportunities
to reach people with My Word. Enjoy the relationships
that I bring you with a new freedom away from your
past. Remain flexible in your expectations of people
and allow them to come and go as they please.
Prov 4:23 AMP
Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and
above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs
of life.
Eph 4:15-16 NKJV
Speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things
into Him who is the head — Christ — 16 from whom the
whole body, joined and knit together {4883} by what
every joint supplies, according to the effective working
by which every part does its share, causes growth of the
body for the edifying of itself in love.
RHEMA 10/22/06 TO LOVE WITHOUT STRINGS
HEARD:
Sacrifices. To let go in order to hold lightly.
It’s a concept few understand. Pure, untainted. It’s
volunteer love without strings.
