What if the thing pulling us off God's path isn't sin—but something good? Last fall, on the Day of Atonement, God showed me how I had confused carrying other people's burdens with serving Him.

This blog post offers a fresh, empowering interpretation of Mark 3:27, traditionally read as a passage about Jesus binding Satan to rescue captives. Instead, Nina suggests that the “strong man” represents the God-given strength and authority within us. Our true identity as image bearers often becomes bound by fear, shame, trauma, or inner division. When that inner strength is restrained, the enemy doesn't need to attack us directly; he simply walks into our lives and plunders our peace, purpose, and power. The post reframes Jesus’ mission not only as defeating external evil but as liberating the strength within us. It invites readers to ask, “How can the Spirit of Might be released through me?” and encourages a shift from rescue to resurrection, surrendering to Jesus as the one who restores and unleashes our internal authority for His glory.

Might + an unsubmitted soul = danger. Might + a surrendered spirit = destiny.

In this post, I contrast the pursuit of healing through chakra cleansing with the Biblical truth that only the finished work of Jesus can truly cleanse and restore us.
