Idols, Vows, and Soul Ties
In this episode, we’re going to talk about a few more things that stand in the way of plowing up our ground and living in deeper intimacy and fellowship with the Lord. I’m going to call it, “Possessive Plow Syndrome.” These are places where we are holding the plow tightly, like we can do something in our own strength and still experience the power and presence of God in that place.
There are areas in our lives where we have, often times inadvertently, shut God out of. We have fenced off areas of our lives, where we have told the Lord that we don’t need His help. Naturally, that ground has been left unplowed and untended by the Presence and Power of God—not because He is unable but because we have been unwilling. We have set up boundaries, and He has respected them.
Three specific ways we do that are by making and keeping idols in our lives, by making vows, and by making soul ties to others.
