Good morning, well we are going to be dissecting religion by the Spirit of God
this morning
you know religion can simply be defined as this
its man's feeble attempt to find God
without truth or him that is God
found in the equation. you cannot know God through religion.
now man's attempt to know God without him
does require truth however just enough
for man to believe. You cannot have a religion without some knowledge of the
truth.
and Satan knows that all too well that truth is needed,
but not too much of it or it would infiltrate his territory in the church.
It is true that religion in man as a concept that originated from Satan.
It is also true that the law of the commandments found in the Old Testament
of the Bible cannot be deemed as a religion
either because we read in the Word of God that he has written the law on the
tablets
of our hearts and we know that the law always points us
to Jesus Christ who is the Messiah for all mankind.
But like Christianity, the law has been corrupted by man's religious tendencies
as well.
As prophesied by the Apostle Paul in the letters to Timothy,
man's religious tendencies in Christianity
in the last days will pervert the gospel and is perverting the gospel
to what is referred to as a doctrine of demons.
Many believers in the last days church condemn themselves
under yokes of oppression because they have been led into a false sense of security
from these doctrines
and are being held captive by their demonic counterparts
in the Christian churches and in their homes, but there is no security in death.
These doctrines of captivity which have the face of Christianity
are full of self condemnation and pride
which is the result of false humility and these Christians are very very
deceived and they need deliverance.
Yes church there are many stumbling blocks for you here in this place have
self security
with other believers. I going to read that again there are many stumbling blocks which
the Lord Jesus Christ
warned us about in the book of Revelation for you here in this place of
self
security with other believers. To break this down you can simply say that you
cannot have religion and Jesus
in the same place of your heart, the two cannot exist in the same place.
You can also say that Jesus who is our key to entering into heaven an eternal
life with God cannot be found through man's discovery
of religion or religious doctrines of demons
you can only find Jesus through a conviction of sin
and our understanding of man's inherit sinful nature
we discover when we read the commandments of God. The law points us to
Jesus
not two-man. Jesus point us to God
and not to man. You cannot discover God through man
or man doctrines, ways or lifestyle.
I'm gonna repeat that, you cannot discover God
through man, man's doctrines, ways
or lifestyle. You will only find heartache
confusion and disparity when the Lord Jesus Christ
is not in the equation. I hope you've enjoyed my break down of religion.
We'll see you next time.
