What does God think about Tattoo? Most people have an opinion and Joyce shares own personal beliefs about tattoos and other religious, legalistic rules, with Scripture to back her up!

Have you even judged yourself? It’s time to break free from condemnation! Read what God has to say about you in Joyce’s “Free From Guilt and Condemnation” book.

We’re gonna talk about tattoos for a minute.
Anybody wanna talk about that?
Now I see some of you
think it’s fine, and some of you think it, man, you get a tattoo. You’re on your way to hell.
And you’re free to think what you want to, but you’re not free to judge people who do what you don’t think they to do.
Isaiah
4916.
Behold, I have indelibly imprinted or tattooed a picture of you on the with each of my hands.
God, these are my kids.
Look look at my kids. Look at that.
So ever since I read that scripture that said people had tattooed on their hands, I belong to
the lord. I thought I’m
gonna get a tattoo that says I belong to Jesus.
Now
I said that about 5 years ago on a
meeting in Australia, attached to artists, heard me say that, and
it’s really a neat story.
I don’t know if I can get the whole thing out right, but he had gone through the most hellish thing.
First of all, he had bipolar disorder. And so his mind was already kind of messed up.
And then a bunch of religious Christians got him convinced that because he was a tattoo artist that he was going to hell.
But when he heard me say that wanted
to get a tattoo that said, I belong to the lord, or I belong to Jesus.
He said, He decided to go back into business.
You gotta be careful when you got influence on people.
And So he said, he decided that he wanted to do my tattoo.
And he wrote down a piece of paper what I said I wanted, and he kept
that for 5 years. Well, 2 weekends ago, I was in Dallas, and a friend of mine in Dallas
was telling me about this tattoo artist that he knew that was a friend of his who was believing that someday he would get to tattoo me.
Now, I mean, these things are not coincidences.
And so long story short, 2 weeks ago, I got tattooed on my shoulder.
I have a nice little cross back there and it
says I belong to Jesus.
And just for good measure, I put love on my foot To remind me to walk in love.
And, of course, Dave, he got a flag.
What does it say?
I can get it mixed up all the time. I trust in the board. So okay.
Listen, Aviles.
Dave’s 82 and got a tattoo.
I’m seventy 9, and I’m doing fine.
And the guy said that we were the oldest people he had ever tattooed.
Now Here we go. Now why did I do that? Well, part of
me didn’t want to because I already know that I’m gonna get letters.
But here’s the reason why I’m telling you this. This is the kind
of stuff that we do.
the the whole thing is it’s between me and god, and it’s a matter of my heart.
And when I stand before god on judgment day, before he makes any decision about me, he’s not gonna call anyone of you and say, Is there anything you’d like to add about Joyce?
Good morning.
Each of us is gonna stand before god and give an account of our life, and he’s not gonna ask somebody else what they think about what we did.
Do you honestly think that I am so stupid that
I didn’t pray and pray and believe with all my heart I I did it as an honor to god.
Let’s stop the judging, the criticizing, and really just don’t bother writing me letters telling me you think it’s I mean, they’re there.
They’re not going away. I like them. I don’t have any conviction about it.
And there may even be people here that think it’s wrong, and I’m okay with that.
I’m really okay with everybody having their opinion, but I have a right to mind too.
And this is what we gotta get through our head.
If you think something’s wrong, don’t do it.
You all were happier about that tattoo than I thought you might be.
No. You can’t see it.
It’s in a place where I can’t show it.
That’s why it’s between me and god.
I love god, and I wanted the devil to know I belong to Jesus.
He bought me and paid for me with his blood. I am not my own.
I am seriously committed and dedicated to god. and I am not gonna let some snooty religious attitude
keep somebody else out of heaven.
Amen?
