Color Speak, Season 4, Episode 27: Recognizing the Religious Spirit
Manage episode 433701955 series 2843321
Could there be a demonic spirit at work in your church?
There is a spirit called religion, believe it or not. And believe it or not, you may have been under its spell.
Because it often preys on us where we gather to worship, for crying out loud.
It always works to control.
It always judges.
It's an evil spirit that produces condemnation, shame, guilt, discontent--adultry. You name it.
And it's really angry.
Today I ask you to listen in with an open heart, ready to receive the love Jesus Christ has for you. It's a love that wants to open windows and carry away stale, worn-out philosophies and rules on a fresh breeze. It's a love that breaks the bars of imprisonment to set you free from captivity to soar over mountaintops in overwhelming joy with your Savior.
