Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Composed of archaic traditions and obsolete practices, and masterminded by the enemy of our souls, the spirit of religion seeks to keep individual believers and the corporate church stagnant and unaware of the call of the Holy Spirit for change. We witnessed the spirit of religion when the Pharisees failed to recognize the coming of the Christ. Today, the spirit of religion can be so subtle that we are unaware of its impact, instead being deceived into believing that God is directing us. Only when we recognize the hold that this counterfeit religion has over Christianity can we be freed to experience the transformation of the Holy Spirit in our lives and in the heart of the church. Join C. Peter Wagner and other dynamic Christian leaders as they unveil the dark influence of the spirit of religion.

Download or read book Conquering the Religious Spirit written by Tommi Femrite and published by Gatekeepers International, Incorporated. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often working as a counterfeit to the Holy Spirit, the religious spirit is the greatest threat we face to personal, family, territorial, national and global revival. It is one of the enemy's most trustworthy cohorts in derailing Christians from God's path holding them down in mindsets of complacency, legalism, control, pride and hypocrisy. The religious spirit can steal your joy, quench your gifts, silence your voice and destroy your relationships. Despite all this, Christians tend to underestimate or misunderstand the pervasive damage this spirit can cause both in the Church and their own lives - mainly because, until recently, in-depth teaching has been hard to come by. This book will help you recognize the warning signs of a religious spirit at work and provide the tools you need to defeat it within yourself and to help others walk in enduring freedom. If you are ready to conquer the enemy's work against your life and are eager to experience new joy and freedom in your Christian walk, this book is for you!

Download or read book Legalism written by The Gothic Mystic and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-05 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The adversary has the church in such a tight headlock, that he has us fighting amongst ourselves about "doctrine" and the most simplest of biblical scripture. He has us split into thousands of different "denominations" and freak out at the simplest inkling of resistance that people perceive in our lives and people instantly blame him. Anything that doesn't agree with our current "doctrine", people instantly throw it away without thinking on it and testing to see if it agrees with scripture. We've lost the focus and ideal of focusing on God, allowing Holy Spirit to teach us things that people don't know yet. This book focuses on revealing many of the manifestations of the religious spirit that has made it's way into not just the church, but also the world. From the widely recognized "Holier Than Thou" mentality to the aspect of how the church shows false love to itself and the world without even knowing it. The author does his best to reveal all of these manifestations and details what is needed in order to get past and overcome this spirit.

Download or read book Sacred Pace written by Terry Looper and published by HarperChristian + ORM. This book was released on 2019-02-26 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we hear from God and discern His will when it’s time to make big decisions? Terry Looper shares a four-step process for doing just that - a process he has learned and refined over thirty years as a Christian entrepreneur and founder of a multi-billion dollar company. At just thirty-six years old, Terry Looper was a successful Christian businessman who thought he had it all—until managing all he had led to a devastating burnout. Wealthy beyond his wildest dreams but miserable beyond belief, Terry experienced a radical transformation when he discovered how to align himself with God’s will in the years following his crash and burn. Sacred Pace is a four-step process that helps Christians in all walks of life learn how to slow down their decision-making under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, sift through their surface desires and sinful patterns in order to receive clear, peace-filled answers from the Lord, gain the confident assurance that God’s answers are His way of fulfilling the true desires he has placed in their hearts, and grow closer to the One who loves them most and knows them best. Sacred Pace is not another example of name-it-and-claim-it materialism in disguise. Instead, it walks Christians through the sometimes-painful process of “dying to self” in their decisions, both big and small, so that they desire God’s will more than their own.
