(Gen. 1:26,27)<br \/>\nGod is a Spirit &#8211; He created man in His image, so Man is a spirit, but who also<br \/>\nhas a soul, and who lives in a body.<br \/>\nHumanity is born disconnected from God the Creator because of the<br \/>\ndisobedience of the First man&#8230;<br \/>\nAnd He said, &#8220;Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree<br \/>\nof which I commanded you not to eat?&#8221; (Gen. 3:11)<br \/>\n&#8220;And you were dead in your trespasses and sins..&#8221; (Eph. 2:1 )<br \/>\nThe effects of the disconnection is Death, so that the state of spirit, dead<br \/>\n(because separate from God), the state of the soul, corrupted, and the state of<br \/>\nthe body, subjected to decay.<br \/>\nAre you Alone? Fearful? In physical, emotional or mental pain? Abandoned?<br \/>\nEmpty? Lost? Confused? Rejected? Sad? Guilty? Depressed? Orphaned?<br \/>\nAll these, and more, are the fruits of Death as evidenced in life.<br \/>\nHowever, God wants to remake the connection. He wants to build a living<br \/>\nrelationship with man, and restore life to him. First, to the spirit of man, then to<br \/>\nthe soul, and ultimately, the body.<br \/>\nIf we can remake this connection, we need never be lonely again. So, instead of<br \/>\nDeath and Destruction, we can be&#8230;<br \/>\nHealed, Happy, and filled with Love, Joy, and Peace.<br \/>\nBe reconciled to God, and even to yourself!<\/p>\n<p><strong>(B) God&#8217;s Dealing With Sin Through the Cross<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son.<br \/>\nAnd this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone<br \/>\ncan have a whole and lasting life. God didn&#8217;t go to all the trouble of sending his<br \/>\nSon merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He<br \/>\ncame to help, to put the world right again.&#8221;<br \/>\n(John 3:16,17 The Message)<br \/>\nThe Bible says that God&#8217;s righteous judgement is against the sin offence of man,<br \/>\nbut the heart of God, however, is not for judgement, but for restoration&#8230;<br \/>\n&#8220;mercy triumphs over judgement.&#8221; (James 2:13)<br \/>\nAs a result, what God did was to take His own judgement upon Himself by<br \/>\nallowing His Son to suffer it. So, by this means, God not only removed man&#8217;s<br \/>\noffence against Him, but His own Judgement on man as well!<br \/>\nSo great is the resulting restoration, that not only was the way restored for man<br \/>\nto enter into God&#8217;s Presence once again, but even to eat of the Tree of Life that<br \/>\nwas previously denied him!<br \/>\nNow all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ,<br \/>\nand gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ<br \/>\nreconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and<br \/>\nHe has committed to us the word of reconciliation. (2 Cor. 5:18,19)<br \/>\nBecause Jesus was both God and man, He bridged the gap for all Humanity<br \/>\nwhen He died (in our place) on the Cross. By this one act, all the world&#8217;s<br \/>\noffenses were forgiven, for all people, in every country, in all times, past, present,<br \/>\nfuture.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(C) Judgment and how it Destroys Human Relationships.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you have died with Christ to the elementary principles of the world, why, as if<br \/>\nyou were living in the world, do you submit yourself to decrees, such as, &#8220;Do not<br \/>\nhandle, do not taste, do not touch!&#8221; ( Col. 2:20,21)<br \/>\nThe world is built and run on law and judging&#8230;<br \/>\nThe nature of God is that all He wants to do is to find ways of filling up everything<br \/>\nwith His love. The result is Creation.<br \/>\nThe purpose of God in Creation, out of His loving heart as Creator Father God, is<br \/>\nto bring His love, joy and peace through his loving rule.<br \/>\nHowever, by definition, love, which is about freedom, means that creation must<br \/>\nbe founded on the basis of free will.<br \/>\nHence, the two Trees! For in the Trees is the choice of ruling out of relationship<br \/>\nwith God, exercising His rule as his regents, or ruling, independently, outside of<br \/>\nrelationship with God.<br \/>\nAnd the Lord God planted a garden toward the east, in Eden; and there He<br \/>\nplaced the man whom He had formed. And out of the ground the Lord God<br \/>\ncaused to grow every tree that is pleasing to the sight and good for food; the tree<br \/>\nof life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and<br \/>\nevil.<br \/>\n(Gen. 2:8,9)<br \/>\nSatan and the angels were given the first choice and he, Satan, chose<br \/>\nindependence from God &#8211; that is, the second tree. God gave Satan entry to the<br \/>\nGarden to allow him to take Adam to the two Trees (for God would not tempt him,<br \/>\nJames 1:13).<br \/>\nAdam chose to eat of the &#8220;Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil&#8221;, of<br \/>\nindependence of God, and exercise his own rule.<br \/>\nHowever, whereas the judging that is perfect and which can only come from the<br \/>\nheart of God that is righteous, all that man is able to do without that heart, is to<br \/>\nrule through the second Tree, forming opinions and making decisions out of a<br \/>\nformulation of right and wrong, good and evil. This is basis of all society and its<br \/>\nlaws, all culture and its values.<br \/>\nHowever, instead of the righteousness of God, the result of this rule is merely law<br \/>\nand condemnation. This is judging, and through the knowledge of good and evil<br \/>\nthat it brings, it introduces independence into creation, instead of relationship<br \/>\nwith God.<br \/>\nSo, instead of the heart of God extending into creation, law and condemnation is<br \/>\nloosed into it, resulting in Death and Destruction.<br \/>\nJesus came to redeem Creation, destroying illicit judging, and through His<br \/>\nobedience as the Second Adam, restoring God&#8217;s rule in Creation, exercising His<br \/>\njudgments. Those who are his disciples are his co-labourers and co-<br \/>\nintercessors in this work, if we will so choose.<br \/>\nTo enact this and bring healing to Creation, His followers must begin by taking all<br \/>\ntheir judgments off His Creation (above all because these judgements are<br \/>\nagainst the Creator, Himself).<br \/>\nThen, every judgment must be taken out of every relationship, just as God has<br \/>\nremoved all His judgments from us.<br \/>\nBut, what exactly is judgment? It is that which condemns and passes<br \/>\nsentence, rejects and pushes away, putting another person under, it is that<br \/>\nwhich has no love.<br \/>\nAnd how does it manifest itself? In marriage, for example, by treating the<br \/>\nrelationship as, teacher-pupil. Generally, dealing with offences with anger<br \/>\ninstead of love.<br \/>\nSo, the First Tree is about love, joy and peace and connection between God and<br \/>\nman, and between men. In short, it is all about Relationship.<br \/>\nThe Second Tree produces the knowledge of good and evil, allowing mankind to<br \/>\nmake judgements outside of a living relationship with Creator God.<br \/>\nHowever, the result is that outside the loving heart of God, man only sees the<br \/>\nacts and not the motives, giving rise to judging, defending, justifying, accusing.<br \/>\nJudging is inherently part of man&#8217;s fallen nature.<br \/>\nThe rule of Father God and His kingdom is all about bringing love, joy peace,<br \/>\nsecurity, contentment, which is all freedom. The rule of satan opposes the rule of<br \/>\nGod and his aim is to bring domination, manipulation and control.<br \/>\nWhere there is no Knowledge there is no Judgement. Knowledge is not the<br \/>\nproblem but where the Knowledge came from is the problem the source of the<br \/>\nKnowledge.<br \/>\nThe outworking of Judging&#8230;<br \/>\n1) Judging as the basis of life in this world..<br \/>\nJudging goes far wider than the religious box that Christians put it in. It goes<br \/>\nbeyond just passing sentence on people: it is even at the root of having an<br \/>\nopinion, because the question is whether the opinion came from the Tree of Life<br \/>\n(God, the Holy Spirit) or whether it came from the (forbidden) Tree of the<br \/>\nKnowledge of Good and Evil. (It is not that knowledge in itself, is evil &#8211; no more<br \/>\nthan money is evil &#8211; rather it is the love of knowledge, which is evil, in the same<br \/>\nway that the love of money is evil, for it has become a god, that to which we look<br \/>\nfor security and guidance.)<br \/>\nJudging also goes even wider, still! It is not just &#8220;passing sentence&#8221; that<br \/>\nsomething is evil, it is also passing sentence, that something is good!! All this<br \/>\nis in the second Tree; only God is allowed to say what is good, or evil.<br \/>\nJudging creates law &#8211; that is, the setting of standards by which everything is<br \/>\nmeasured. The result of instituting is that there is now one of two choices placed<br \/>\nbefore man: he can fight it, or agree with it. In the first case, fighting it, rebellion is<br \/>\nloosed and the result is division. In the second case, agreeing with it, the result is<br \/>\nmere conformity. However, coming from law, that which is evil (in the sight of<br \/>\nthe law) and that which is good (in the sight of law), both are bondage, both<br \/>\nembody the spirit of control!!<br \/>\nThe Third Way..<br \/>\nInstead of fighting it or doing it, there is an alternative: forgive it!<br \/>\n2) Judging in the Church<br \/>\nThe foundation of the Church was such that differences of opinion were resolved<br \/>\nand unity maintained through Spirit lead relationship, there was a point when<br \/>\njudgment and control came into the Church, dividing it into sects and<br \/>\ndenominations, bringing separation of relationship, and with it the curse of death<br \/>\nand division, denying it the commanded blessing of unity.<br \/>\nAs one example, the outpouring of the Spirit that birthed the Brethren movement<br \/>\nwas destroyed through a disagreement between Darby and Newton over a<br \/>\nmatter of doctrine concerning leadership that substituted authoritarian structure<br \/>\nover relationship. Every move of the Holy Spirit has been characterized by this<br \/>\nphenomenon of the law opposing the Spirit, to this very day.<br \/>\nScriptures of judgment<br \/>\nYou are measured by the judgment you give. Speck versus plank. (Matthew<br \/>\n7:1-5) judge not, condemn not, forgive and you will be forgiven, give and it will be give<br \/>\nto you good measure pressed down, shaken together and running over. (Luke<br \/>\n6:37)<br \/>\nYou are inexcusable oh man who judge. You who judge, you practice the same<br \/>\nthings that you judge for the goodness of God leads man unto repentance.<br \/>\n(Romans 2:1-4)<br \/>\nDo not speak evil of one another and judge your brother. Who are you to judge<br \/>\nanother. (James 4:11)<br \/>\nBut why do you show contempt for your brother (judge him) each will give an<br \/>\naccount to God and therefore do not put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in<br \/>\nyour brothers way. Let us not judge one another any more. (Romans 14:10-13)<br \/>\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Do not go to the world to judge issues amongst yourself  the saints will judge<br \/>\nthe world and angels. (1 Corinthians 6:1-5)<br \/>\nNo weapon formed against shall prosper and every tongue raised against you<br \/>\nwill be condemned*. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and your<br \/>\nrighteousness is from Me.(Isaiah 54:17)<br \/>\n* How does one condemn without judging, since it also says, We are to judge<br \/>\nnot, but we will judge angels and nations; and Those who condemn you, you<br \/>\nshall condemn?<br \/>\nAnswer: We condemn by not condemning, by not judging. When we do not judge<br \/>\nanother person who is judging, we leave them naked, we leave them with no<br \/>\nargument. We do not fight fire with fire because then we simply build the fire!<br \/>\nWhat is sin?<br \/>\nSin, in its simplicity is Disobedience. Lying, cheating, stealing, which are<br \/>\nordinarily considered as sin are actually just the fruit of sin.<br \/>\nSo, sin is disobedience and lawlessness against God. It is not caring about<br \/>\nanyone else &#8211; all I care about is me. It is not love, it is not considering the other<br \/>\nperson. Sin is to do with the me, with selfishness.<br \/>\nThe first disobedience: Adam and Eve chose the tree of Knowledge of Good and<br \/>\nEvil. When they ate from that tree, they came to a place of understanding, seeing<br \/>\nand knowing that they did not have before. Their eyes were opened to the<br \/>\nknowledge of good and evil, they lost their protection and as a result came under<br \/>\nthe control of Fear &#8211; and which Control uses to control, for where there is no<br \/>\nFear, there is no control! (1 John 4:18)<br \/>\nGood comes from the same tree as evil. Good is just as forbidden as evil. In both<br \/>\ncases we are working from (a knowledge of) right and wrong. In it we are not<br \/>\nexercising the judgments of God, but judging, accusing, justifying and<br \/>\ndefending. It is all to do with self. We are putting self, and the other person,<br \/>\ndown. It is a Win\/Lose position instead of a Win\/Win position.<br \/>\nGood and Evil:<br \/>\nRight \/ Wrong<br \/>\nJudging<br \/>\nJustifying<br \/>\nAccusing<br \/>\nDefending<br \/>\nAll judgement from good and evil is according to what a person, does, and not<br \/>\non, why. God always judges on,why. He always looks at the motives of the<br \/>\nheart, what is happening in the heart; why they do it not only what they have<br \/>\ndone.<br \/>\nThe above is the opening to releasing rejection, which is a death curse to all<br \/>\nrelationship.<br \/>\nOn the other hand, the Tree of life is Jesus (John 16:6). Man was supposed to<br \/>\nreceive all knowledge from the Tree of Life, through the Holy Spirit (John 16:13-<br \/>\n15).<\/p>\n<p><strong>(D) What is an Idol in the Heart and how does it get there?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Definition: An idol is the control of the heart through a judgment.<br \/>\n&#8220;You shall have no other gods before me.You shall not make for yourself an idol,<br \/>\nor any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the<br \/>\nwater under the earth. You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the Lord<br \/>\nyour God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on<br \/>\nthe third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing<br \/>\nlovingkindness to thousands, to those who love me and keep my<br \/>\ncommandments.&#8221; (Ex. 20:3-6)<br \/>\n&#8220;Little children, guard yourselves from idols.&#8221; (1 John 5:21)<br \/>\nTherefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus says the Lord GOD;<br \/>\nEvery man of the house of Israel that sets up his idols in his heart, and puts the<br \/>\nstumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and comes to the prophet; I the<br \/>\nLORD will answer him that comes according to the multitude of his idols..<br \/>\n((Ezekiel 14.4))<br \/>\nHow does it get there? By judging! When a person judges, they lock an image of<br \/>\na person and the thing they judged, into the mind and the emotions, which will<br \/>\ncontrol them.<br \/>\n&#8220;Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their hearts, and have put right<br \/>\nbefore their faces the stumbling block of their iniquity. Should I be consulted by<br \/>\nthem at all?<br \/>\n(Ezek.. 14:3)<br \/>\n&#8220;If you forgive the sins of any, their sins have been forgiven them; if you retain<br \/>\nthe sins of any, they have been retained.&#8221; (John 20:23)<br \/>\nWhen we forgive, we are free. And if we do not, then we are bound&#8230;<br \/>\n&#8220;And do not judge and you will not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will<br \/>\nnot be condemned; pardon, and you will be pardoned. (Luke 6:37)<br \/>\nWhere there is no judgment, there is no control. What man is emotionally<br \/>\nbonded to, he is controlled by, both negatively and positively. So, you can be just<br \/>\nas much controlled by love, as hate &#8211; I either love it or fight it, but either way, I am<br \/>\ncontrolled by it.<br \/>\nTestimony. A young man in his early teens was asked if he would like some<br \/>\nhome made wine. He replied, I will never drink that muck!<br \/>\nHowever, in just one sentence, this was a vow and a judgment. In so doing, not<br \/>\njust one law was set up, but two &#8211; first, that drink is muck, and second, that he<br \/>\nwould never drink it.<br \/>\nTwo things happened. First, whereas before that event he was free, he noticeably<br \/>\nbecame judgmental, to the point that ultimately, it drove his son into becoming<br \/>\nan alcoholic.<br \/>\nThe father came to see the injury that he had done to his son through his<br \/>\njudging, and by seeking forgiveness of the son, they were restored to<br \/>\nrelationship. However, the son, to his father&#8217;s puzzlement remained an alcoholic<br \/>\nand it was not until repentance by the father of his judgment and his vow, love<br \/>\ninstead of judgment came into the father&#8217;s heart and the son was totally<br \/>\ndelivered!<br \/>\nTestimony. A man judged a tractor that it was a lemon! Some while later, when<br \/>\nneeding a tractor, and praying about it, all that he could think of was about a<br \/>\nbuying one like the one he had judged, even though it would have cost him<br \/>\n$60,000.<br \/>\nRealizing this, he repented of his judgment, and was shown a tractor for<br \/>\n$13,000 that met all his needs.<br \/>\nMost people&#8217;s problems are an idol in their heart because they have judged it.<br \/>\n(Even, I am sick, and I say, I should not be sick).<br \/>\nWhen a thing is an idol in the heart the person has a deaf, dumb and blind spirit,<br \/>\nhence cannot hear from the Holy Spirit as to how to get free (Ps. 115:4-8).<br \/>\nFather God looks at the heart and searches the heart (1 Samuel 16:7; Jeremiah<br \/>\n17:9,10; Matthew 15:8,9; Ezekiel 11:19; 2 Corinthians 5:17). Jesus gave us a<br \/>\nclean heart when we were born of the Spirit.<br \/>\nChristians who work from right and wrong are easily entrapped by judgment<br \/>\nwhen they see negatives in others, especially when it is in fellow Christians,<br \/>\nbecoming contaminated in their heart. Outwardly, the words of love and<br \/>\nacceptance are used, but from that moment on, however, they are a hypocrite,<br \/>\nsaying one thing with their mouth and their heart believing another. Pride will not<br \/>\nlet them acknowledge their judgment that has taken them into idolatry.<br \/>\nPride:<br \/>\nEverything starts with Pride. Pride, the is the root expressing itself in<br \/>\ndisobedience and judging. All that follows is fruit&#8230;<br \/>\nUnforgiveness<br \/>\nRejection (see below for fruit of Rejection)<br \/>\nRebellion<br \/>\nAddiction<br \/>\nControl (see below for the fruit of Control)<br \/>\nFear<br \/>\nDeception<br \/>\nPerversion<br \/>\nThe principality and power of death and hell attempts to kill the body, and the<br \/>\npoint of entry is Rejection (1 Samuel 15:26). Living a lie about the true state of<br \/>\nthe heart immediately follows (Isaiah 28:15 Genesis 2:17; Deuteronomy 5:16;<br \/>\nRevelation 20:14)<br \/>\nThe Effects of Idolatry:<br \/>\n1. Idolatry leads to Fear..<br \/>\nWhere there is negative emotion, arising from a judgement, it sets up Rejection,<br \/>\nwhich is the control of Fear.<br \/>\nRejection is a death curse which causes death over relationships and it will<br \/>\nbring some form of death into the people as well. Wherever rejection is in a<br \/>\nperson, death enters into their life. Something dies, and anyone under the power<br \/>\nand control of rejection is under death not physically, necessarily, but part of<br \/>\nthem is dead.<br \/>\nThe process of Rejection..<br \/>\n&#8220;Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before stumbling.&#8221; (Prov.<br \/>\n16:18)<br \/>\nNine downward steps of the control of Rejection:<br \/>\n1. Broken communion &#8211; withdrawal (Heb.12:15)<br \/>\n2. Ungrateful &#8211; seeing negatives only (2 Tim.3:2)<br \/>\nWe see and remember the negative, being unable to see any good in anything.<br \/>\nThere is something wrong with everything. Elephant syndrome, a long memory<br \/>\nof the negatives!<br \/>\n3. Stubbornness &#8211; rejecting authority (1 Sam.15:23)<br \/>\nRejection of authority instead of respecting and honoring it.<br \/>\n4. Open rebellion &#8211; taking own authority (Is.14:12)<br \/>\nI become my own authority.<br \/>\n5. Become rejected (Gen. 3:24)<br \/>\nIn applying law to control the rebellion, all that is being achieved is that control is<br \/>\nbeing used to control, control! Because it is law that is being used, instead of<br \/>\nrelationship, the result is more and greater rejection.<br \/>\n6.Compatibility of Rebellion &#8211; formation of cliques (Num 16)<br \/>\nWe need others to bolster up where we are. I look for &#8220;gang association&#8221; for<br \/>\nothers of like mind we are right and the others are all wrong.<br \/>\n7. Become immoral &#8211; defending wrong (Rom.1:21-32)<br \/>\nWe defend wrong we defend what we&#8217;re doing as right, everyone else is<br \/>\nwrong. At this point a switch takes place and guilt enters in.<br \/>\n8. Guilt &#8211; condemning others in order to cover up (Rom.2:1)<br \/>\nYou know guilt has entered because they condemn others to cover up! If you are<br \/>\ngoing around condemning, you are guilty. We judge others because we do not<br \/>\nwant then to judge us!!!<br \/>\n9. Suicidal tendencies &#8211; mood extremes (Job.10:1)<br \/>\nInside this person, in the very core, there are suicidal tendencies, anger, murder,<br \/>\nand death. The inner state of this person is unresolved grief, guilt, and<br \/>\nloneliness. Every person who opens their heart to others and (having an<br \/>\nexpectation of being loved) judges, and when they do not get love back receives<br \/>\na wounded spirit (Prov.15:13; 17:22; 18:14).<br \/>\nThe Keys of Deliverance from the Spirit of Rejection&#8230;<br \/>\n1. Find the root of rejection<br \/>\n2. Find where judgment took it in<br \/>\n3. Repent &#8211; that takes care of Father God<br \/>\n4. Forgive &#8211; that takes care of fellow man<br \/>\n5. Renounce &#8211; that takes care of Satan<br \/>\n6. Receive Jesus into the place that was freed<br \/>\n7. Ask the Holy Spirit to anoint afresh your life<br \/>\nYou will know you are free from the idol that controls through fear,<br \/>\ncondemnation, bitterness, accusation, anger, joylessness, doubt, depression,<br \/>\nphysical, mental and emotional pain and conflict (see tormentors, Matthew<br \/>\n18:34,35) because you are no longer controlled by that situation and within, you<br \/>\nwill sense love, joy, peace (see Colossians 3:15).<br \/>\n2. Idolatry leads to Independence..<br \/>\nDepression is anger turned inward from disappointment from unfulfilled<br \/>\nexpectations.<br \/>\nThe temptation to independence is the means by which Satan has his claw deep<br \/>\nin many a professing saints heart and is able to pull them down. However, the<br \/>\nHoly Spirit allows the depression to expose the heart of the believer so they can,<br \/>\nknow the truth and be set free. (John 8:32).<br \/>\nUnfulfilled expectations are actually idols in the heart, and if left unguarded,<br \/>\neasily lead to disappointment and anger. In order to deal with depression, don&#8217;t<br \/>\nlook at the anger, but to the unfulfilled expectations, and specifically with the<br \/>\njudgments behind them because the depression is locked in through them.<br \/>\nThe expectations came from the wrong tree \u00e2\u20ac\u201c resulting in judging, justifying,<br \/>\naccusing, defending wanting to put self up and the other party down, thus<br \/>\ngaining control and activating control.<br \/>\n3. Idolatry leads to Control:<br \/>\nControl exerts itself through anger.<br \/>\nAnger is first mentioned in the Bible in the account of Cain (Gen. 4:5).<br \/>\nAnger is the response of the sinful nature, to someone challenging an idol in the<br \/>\nheart.<br \/>\nAnger is an emotional feeling of agitation, offended pride, that opens the door to<br \/>\na root of bitterness (Heb. 12:15).<br \/>\nAnger is an open demonstration of pride and rebellion.<br \/>\nAnger is a negative emotional response that lets in hate, that can lead to murder<br \/>\n(1 John 3-15).<br \/>\nAnger is the root of disappointment, of being tricked (deceived); it is the fruit of<br \/>\nidolatry to man (trusting man) (Matt. 2:16).<br \/>\nDefinition: Anger is hate with negative emotion.<br \/>\nIn the light of these characteristics of anger, you would think that there was no<br \/>\nroom for anger. Christians, however, do try and make room for it through such<br \/>\nScripture as &#8220;Be angry and sin not&#8221; (Eph.4:26). However, many other Scriptures<br \/>\nmake it plain that there is no room for anger, whatsoever, such as, &#8220;Put away all<br \/>\nanger&#8230;&#8221; (Eph. 4:31, Col. 3:8).<br \/>\nThere is, however, no conflict between them for the meaning is that we are to put<br \/>\naway anger as soon as it rises in us! Even the Scripture, &#8220;Do not let the sun go<br \/>\ndown on your anger..&#8221; (Eph. 4:26), does not allow for it; it is patently absurd that<br \/>\nwe are to be allowed to be angry all day, only having to deal with it as night falls!<br \/>\nNo, we are commanded to put away all anger.<br \/>\nFurther Scriptures on this:<br \/>\n&#8220;Anger rests in the bosom of fools.&#8221; (Ecc. 7:9)<br \/>\n&#8220;The anger of man does not work the righteousness of God.&#8221; (James1:20)<br \/>\nIn other words, God cannot do His work when man is angry. When man walks in<br \/>\nthe authority of God there is no room for anger. However, many work out of<br \/>\nanger because they have no authority.<br \/>\nDo I get angry? Yes. Am I entitled to be angry? No, because behind the anger is<br \/>\njudgment. What do I do about my anger? Repent!<br \/>\nAnger is a fruit, it is a, &#8220;what&#8221;, but God works on the &#8220;why&#8221;, because it deals<br \/>\nwith the root and not just the fruits.<br \/>\nAnger is actually murder and the first thing it murders is relationships. You<br \/>\ncannot have a living relationship with anger. It destroys every relationship and if<br \/>\nleft long enough it will kill.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(E) What is a Soul-Tie and How Does That Work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What is a soul-tie? It is to be emotionally bonded in the heart to some one or<br \/>\nsome thing. This may be from God, and therefore positive, or from the enemy,<br \/>\nand therefore negative, bringing bondage and control. It means that when I give<br \/>\nmy heart I let that person have control of me emotionally.<br \/>\nGood soul-ties:<br \/>\n&#8220;For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,<br \/>\nand they will become one flesh.&#8221; (Gen. 2:24 )<br \/>\nThis is the first commandment of marriage. It means to, &#8220;be joined&#8221;, &#8220;to cleave&#8221;<br \/>\nand to, &#8220;cling to&#8221;. Also&#8230;<br \/>\n&#8220;So now, if the boy is not with us when I go back to your servant my father and if<br \/>\nmy father, whose life is closely bound up with the boy&#8217;s life,&#8221; (Gen. 44:30)<br \/>\n(See also, 1 Sam 18:1; 1 Chron 12:17; 2 Kings 5:26; 1 Cor. 6:16)<br \/>\nSoul-ties that destroy both Soul and Body :<br \/>\n&#8220;Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body,<br \/>\nbut he who sins sexually sins against his own body.&#8221; (1 Cor. 6:18)<br \/>\nThis, and others, are soul ties which are contrary to God&#8221;s word. They take place<br \/>\nespecially through adultery and fornication.<br \/>\nControl of Emotions by Fear:<br \/>\nIt all starts when a person lets someone or something control their emotions that<br \/>\ndoes not have the persons interests in their heart.<br \/>\nWhat happens is that a &#8220;negative soul-tie&#8221; is created by an idol in the heart<br \/>\n(Ezekiel 14:3-4-7), the idol gaining entry to the heart through a judgment &#8211; an<br \/>\nexpectation that another party is going to open their heart to us. It is then<br \/>\nevidenced in the hurt feelings experienced by the one who has opened their<br \/>\nheart.<br \/>\nThrough the expectation (judgment) they are thus bound by their feelings to the<br \/>\none from whom they are not receiving a return of love.<br \/>\nHowever, a soul-tie is also generally to be found in the other party, certainly<br \/>\nwhere the heart has been hardened. It arises from a judgment ruling in the<br \/>\nloveless heart, their heart hardened, coming from law, without mercy and love,<br \/>\ncutting off of their emotions, having no sensitivity toward the one who has<br \/>\nopened their heart.<br \/>\nThus, it is a trap to have an open heart to any one, or thing, that does not have<br \/>\nthe same open heart to you, and, practically speaking, the trap could even be<br \/>\npresented by opening your heart to a person you desire to help, but doesn&#8217;t want<br \/>\nit. (This is to manifest &#8220;Caretaker Spirit&#8221; and is driven by an idol in the heart<br \/>\nthrough fear, creating a soul tie to good works. It is trying to earn approval.)<br \/>\nJesus, Himself, did not open His heart to those who hearts were hardened<br \/>\ntoward Him&#8230;<br \/>\n&#8220;But Jesus, on His part, was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all<br \/>\nmen..&#8221;<br \/>\n(John 2:24)<br \/>\nThose controlled by their emotions in this way will forever be forming soul-ties<br \/>\nand dependencies with those around them, especially those they love and<br \/>\nrespect and whose approval they desire. Consequently, where emotions are<br \/>\ncontrolled by fear, it is a hindrance to hearing and loving with a pure heart. In<br \/>\nfact, we need to be aware that emotions are an open door to control through<br \/>\nfear.<br \/>\nFear creates. (Job 3:25)<br \/>\nFear is a spirit. (2 Tim 1:7)<br \/>\nFear involves torment. (1 Jn 4:18)<br \/>\nWhere there is pure love there is no control.<br \/>\nWhen ministering out of Father God&#8217;s Love, there is no ulterior motive.<br \/>\nGive wanting nothing in return, taking no account of wrong.<br \/>\nMoreover, as strong as emotions might be, they are not the guide to the will of<br \/>\nGod. If it feels good, that is no reason it is right. Only a word from Jesus is pure.<br \/>\nIf circumstances are right, that is no reason it is right&#8230;<br \/>\n&#8220;When a gentle south wind began to blow, they thought they had obtained what<br \/>\nthey wanted; so they weighed anchor and sailed along the shore of Crete&#8221;. (from<br \/>\nActs 27: 9-13 )<br \/>\nThe error here resulted from going to the &#8220;Tree of the Knowledge of Good and<br \/>\nEvil&#8221; for an answer, whereas a witness of the Spirit expresses itself in a gut<br \/>\nfeeling, and not an emotion. (Jn. 7:38; 1 Jn. 2:27)&#8230;<br \/>\nHow can I know that I am walking by the Spirit? Because the fruit of the Spirit is<br \/>\nevident. (Gal 5:16)<br \/>\nA negative soul-tie is a deadly weapon that kills, binding a person to another<br \/>\nperson or situation in such a way it controls, drives, torments, and will finally<br \/>\ndestroy. It is the killer that causes the body to break down through all kinds of<br \/>\ndiseases.<br \/>\nJesus had it right. He distinguished between the urgent and the ultimate,<br \/>\nimportant over the immediate and was not driven by need or emotions. (Mk 1:30)<br \/>\nTo be free, we need to..<br \/>\nForgive rejection<br \/>\nRepent of idolatry and renounce the soul tie out of your heart<br \/>\nCut the control of fear<br \/>\nThe fruit of the release is peace. (Jn. 14:27 Phil 4:7. Col 3:15)<\/p>\n<p><strong>(F) Trauma and its Control<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Trauma&#8221; is a fear locked into the emotions and the cells of the body through a<br \/>\njudgment.<br \/>\n&#8220;Why should you be beaten anymore? Why do you persist in rebellion? Your<br \/>\nwhole head is injured, your whole heart afflicted. From the sole of your foot to the<br \/>\ntop of your head there is no soundness-only wounds and welts and open sores,<br \/>\nnot cleansed or bandaged or soothed with oil&#8221;. (Is. 1:5,6)<br \/>\nDealing with Trauma takes place through the healing of every imprint in the<br \/>\nemotions and the cells of the body caused by:<br \/>\nRejection, criticism; physical blow; loud noise; event related shock or stress<br \/>\nWounded emotions (Trauma) come when the intentions are good but an offense<br \/>\nor sin occurs through disobedience, and when the offense was made much of by<br \/>\na person in authority. Having been unjustly judged (by authority), the person who<br \/>\ncommitted the offense, keenly aware of the injustice, judges the lack of love and<br \/>\nis thus traumatized.<br \/>\nExample. Out of disobedience, a child, putting its head in a dog&#8217;s mouth and<br \/>\nsubsequently bitten, it was the dog that was punished by being shot, instead of the child.<br \/>\nCaptivated by guilt, without any possible correction of the situation, the<br \/>\nchild judged itself and was thus traumatized. This child was three years old and<br \/>\neven though it had no memory of the event, as a result of the trauma formed a<br \/>\nsoul-tie (actually a &#8220;caretaker spirit&#8221;) toward animals, bound in to ever trying to<br \/>\nprotect them from harm.<br \/>\nThe results of the Curse of Trauma:<br \/>\nThe traumatized person is one, ruled by Fear, Insecurity, and &#8220;No<br \/>\nUnderstanding&#8221;, and is unable to look at situations logically and is not free to<br \/>\nknow or understand what is right to do. It is guilty from the inside, locked in<br \/>\nthrough unforgiveness and living in isolation. (Psalm 38:11)<br \/>\n&#8220;Placed in the hands of the tormentors (fear)&#8221; (Matthew 18:34-35 )<br \/>\n&#8220;The torment is fear&#8221;. (1 John 4:18 )<br \/>\n&#8220;End up in the lake of fire.&#8221; (Revelation 21:8)<br \/>\nHowever, we are not to be ruled by Fear&#8230;<br \/>\n&#8220;God has not given us a spirit of Fear..&#8221; (2 Timothy 1:7 )<br \/>\nFear is &#8220;Negative Faith!&#8221; It creates in the same way as faith.<br \/>\n&#8220;For what I fear comes upon me, And what I dread befalls me.&#8221; (Job 3:25)<br \/>\n(However, note that the creative power behind fear is Satan, as the story of Job<br \/>\nmakes clear, for this is where Job&#8217;s originated from.)<br \/>\nTrauma is a result of deeply rooted guilt, locked in through the judging of self and<br \/>\nthe refusal to forgive one&#8217;s self. (Even where the event is seemingly out of our<br \/>\ncontrol or responsibility, and as one living under law and not grace, the inner<br \/>\nman of the person judges itself.)<br \/>\nPride is what locks it in. Through pride, we don&#8217;t forgive (ourselves), we thus get<br \/>\nlocked in and can fall straight into rebellion deception and perversion.<br \/>\nWhile in a physical body, Trauma influences how I feel about some one (or thing)<br \/>\nand has more power over me than what I think.<br \/>\nIn this life, offenses will come! Those offenses rooted in our judging, where guilt<br \/>\nis present, opens us to hurt and trauma, but because of the pride, Father God<br \/>\nmust remove His protection.<br \/>\nTo get free of Trauma:<br \/>\nGiven that there is no mental or intellectual memory of the event or the offence in<br \/>\nTrauma, it is necessary to get revelation through the Holy Spirit.<br \/>\nRepent of disobedience to authority and ask another person to pray for you,<br \/>\ntaking authority over the spirit of fear and commanding the emotions to be<br \/>\nhealed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(G) The Destruction of Independence and Control in Marriage and all Relationships.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Definition: &#8220;Independence is the condition of man being disconnected from his<br \/>\nCreator, having chosen to live from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil,<br \/>\ninstead of out of relationship and intimacy with God.&#8221;<br \/>\nRelationships are all about being dead to self and alive to God and each other.<br \/>\nThat is, it is dying to independence, since independence being the destruction of<br \/>\nthe communication and love&#8230;<br \/>\n&#8220;..do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests<br \/>\nof others&#8221; (Phillipians. 2:4 )<br \/>\nMost people have come from a very independent background, but this also<br \/>\ncreates loneliness.<br \/>\nIndependence cries out for fellowship, yet at the same time cries out for space.<br \/>\nAll day long we do independent things from our wives and husbands, and they<br \/>\nfrom us, and both have a choice to judge or not to judge, to break or stay<br \/>\ntogether.<br \/>\nBeing independent will not break a marriage, but judging independence will. In<br \/>\nfact, all relationships are broken through judgments.<br \/>\nWhy do you think people don&#8217;t want to get married these days? Because they<br \/>\ndont want responsibility of dealing with independence.<br \/>\nWhen a couple marry, they die to independence and from that moment on fight<br \/>\ndesperately to maintain their independence. Add children and the fight gets<br \/>\nstronger, because there is less time for &#8220;me&#8221;, for self!<br \/>\nAll the time, Jesus, with all the compassion of his love for us, is desiring we<br \/>\nsurrender and let Him live in and through us, so that by His strength we can be<br \/>\nall He desires for a wife, husband and children, and those around us.<br \/>\nWhen we fight for independence we activate manipulation, domination and<br \/>\ncontrol. In men, the disposition is to manifest independence (and its<br \/>\nmanipulation, domination and control) by not communicating!<br \/>\nOn the other hand, through judgment of men, the disposition of a woman is to<br \/>\nmanifest independence (and its manipulation, domination and control) by<br \/>\naccumulating all the knowledge they can about their own feelings and emotions,<br \/>\nand so have no need of a man.<br \/>\nIndependence is in the sinful nature and the &#8220;task&#8221; of the married couple is to<br \/>\novercome independence, and so to establish communication and relationship.<br \/>\nHowever, most never make it this far! Instead, they judge each other&#8217;s<br \/>\nindependence &#8211; a terrible dilemma, since in &#8220;judging the judging&#8221;, they are bound,<br \/>\nwith no possibility of intercession by one to set the other free.<br \/>\nEve was created as a help meet. To be that she needed information. However,<br \/>\ninstead of gaining it from God or her husband, and driven by the spirit of<br \/>\nindependence, she went to find it at the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.<br \/>\nIn this way, Satan offered Eve information apart from Adam by eating of the tree<br \/>\nof knowledge. By eating from that tree, Eve became controlled by knowledge,<br \/>\nknowledge became an idol. Adam by taking the fruit from Eve became controlled<br \/>\nby Eve&#8217;s emotions. In so doing, emotions became both their idol.<br \/>\nWhen a woman is upset she speaks logic, bombarding the male with questions,<br \/>\n(although the root behind this is actually judgment and its fruit, anger).<br \/>\nWhen a male reacts to emotional control, by judging it, he comes under its<br \/>\ncontrol. By exhibiting emotion himself he is showing that he is under emotional<br \/>\ncontrol. What is happening is that he is actually manifesting the woman&#8217;s<br \/>\nemotions, getting angry or going into silence (which is control).<br \/>\nAll males can communicate as long as there are no emotions involved! It is<br \/>\nillustrated in men who will chat for long a time about external issues.<br \/>\nPersonal testimony. Having come to Jesus at the age of 16 a lump of ignorant<br \/>\nuncouth humanity full of rejection, now desiring to be truthful to following Jesus,<br \/>\nwith no idea that Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to do it all as long as I surrender my<br \/>\nindependence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(H) The Root of Divorce<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Definition: Divorce is &#8220;a complete or radical severance of closely connected<br \/>\nthings.&#8221; It means, &#8220;to cut off; separate or disunite&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?&#8221;<br \/>\n(Amos 3:3)<br \/>\n&#8220;How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! It is like<br \/>\nprecious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on<br \/>\nAaron&#8217;s beard, down upon the collar of his robes. It is as if the dew of Hermon<br \/>\nwere falling on Mount Zion. For there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life<br \/>\nforevermore.&#8221; (Ps. 133:1-3)<br \/>\n&#8220;[Love] is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no<br \/>\nrecord of wrongs.&#8221; (1 Cor. 13:5)<br \/>\nThe most important thing in marriage (and all relationships) is to walk free of<br \/>\njudgment, because Judgment creates separation.<br \/>\nThrough judging, the absence of love turns &#8220;giving into wanting&#8221;, a &#8220;demand for<br \/>\nrights, instead of a fulfillment of responsibilities&#8221;.<br \/>\nWhen two people meet for the first time and form a relationship, and before<br \/>\njudgment comes in, there is total acceptance. Why? Because there is no<br \/>\nknowledge on which to form a judgment!!!<br \/>\nAll relationships are built on attraction and desire, but when these (godly) desires<br \/>\nare turned into expectations through judging &#8220;good&#8221;, the foundation of the<br \/>\nrelationship becomes based on law (instead of love and grace). The result is<br \/>\nseparation.<br \/>\nHowever, because there are expectations in the heart, the failure in either party<br \/>\nto meet them gives rise to disappointment (which is in itself judgment) and<br \/>\nfurther resulting in depression (for depression, see Part (I) ).<br \/>\n&#8220;&#8230; for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.&#8221; (Matt. 6:21)<br \/>\nAt the point that the desire of one party has become an idol in the heart, (and<br \/>\nwhich has entered through an expectation, a judgment) but is unfulfilled by the<br \/>\nother, the ensuing judgment by the first party locks in disappointment.<br \/>\nIf not dealt with, disappointment turns to bitterness, further judgments then<br \/>\ncome, opening the door to divorce.<br \/>\nKnowing what the effects of judging are within relationships when one judges,<br \/>\ngetting it right is so powerful!<br \/>\nIn the case of a marriage, the one who judges has taken their heart out of the<br \/>\nmarriage and from that moment on the spirit of divorce is activated. Such is the<br \/>\ndepth of the curse of judging in marriage that left untouched it will surely bring<br \/>\nthe marriage down.<br \/>\nJudging within marriage is the key divorce uses.<br \/>\nThe moment that happens the one who judges separates themselves out,<br \/>\nspeaking as a teacher, talks down to the other and has no sensitivity to the<br \/>\nothers feeling.<br \/>\n&#8220;[Jesus] said to them, &#8220;Because of your hardness of heart, Moses permitted you<br \/>\nto divorce your wives; but from the beginning it has not been this way.&#8221; (Matt.<br \/>\n19:8)<br \/>\nThe values of our culture or our family that we live by is actually laws. By<br \/>\ndefinition, since it is law, the result is judging. In other words, at the everyday<br \/>\nlevel and at the lowest level of our thoughts, we live by judging!!! We bring these<br \/>\nstandards and values, which are nothing more than laws, into our relationships<br \/>\nand they form the basis of the offences that we judge to have taken place in<br \/>\nthem.<br \/>\nTestimony. A husband made a decision to rent a house that was for sale,<br \/>\nbelieving they would be in it for some time before it would be sold. However, it<br \/>\nsold the day they moved in. Sadly, the wife, judged her husband for his<br \/>\ndecision*, with the result that the spirit of divorce entered into the relationship. If it<br \/>\nis not dealt with, it will result in actual divorce. However, if the wife removes her<br \/>\njudgment, the spirit of divorce will be judged, since forgiveness is the judgment<br \/>\nof God*, and the marriage can be restored.<br \/>\n(* Actually, the wife was judging her husband&#8217;s judgement, since his decision<br \/>\nwas not the judgment of God for the family, but his own, proceeding from the<br \/>\nTree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.

His son, Ham, instead of<br \/>\ncovering Noah&#8217;s nakedness and shame (with grace), put law upon his father and<br \/>\njudged (condemned) him (according to that law). As a result, Ham, himself, was<br \/>\ncursed, coming under the judgment of God and cast out of His favor. Ham<br \/>\nwas, in fact, judged according to his own law!

Having no submission in their heart, the result is that there is<br \/>\nno protection, no cover, leaving them naked, both spiritually and emotionally.<br \/>\nThey believe they are not heard; they have something important to say, yet no<br \/>\none listens.<br \/>\nThey are often high achievers under stress, resulting in their gifting and capacity<br \/>\nbeing out of balance. They run on emotional energy, and if not checked, the<br \/>\nresult is, &#8220;Burn Out&#8221;.<br \/>\nIn women, they marry laid back men who will not respond at the snap of a finger,<br \/>\nmaking the situation worse, bringing out more frustration.<br \/>\nAgain in a female, deep in their heart there is a resentment toward Father God<br \/>\nbecause he made male first, not female. The reason behind the resentment is<br \/>\nbecause they see much more detail faster than men and believe their abilities<br \/>\nare not being recognized in a male dominated world.<br \/>\nMale or female, when ability is blocked by a person in relationship authority to<br \/>\nthem, unforgiveness sets up a curse, locking the person in to being continually<br \/>\nfrustrated, resulting in becoming drained and burnt out emotionally.<br \/>\nMen manifest M.E. out of explosive anger from tunnel vision that locks them into<br \/>\none narrow frame of thinking. Frustrated at not being able to achieve their goal,<br \/>\nthey get even more angry.<br \/>\nAll of the above is the result of PRIDE in their abilities.<br \/>\nBecause all ability is a gift from God, there is no room for pride and there needs<br \/>\nto be an attitude of compassion towards those who do not have abilities such as<br \/>\ntheir own!<br \/>\nExample.
