Freedom From The Religious Spirit

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.

Have you felt driven to try to please the Lord through acts of service alone? Do you feel drained and long to be free of the pressure of performance? One of the greatest strategies of the enemy is to distract from the real power of the Holy Spirit with religious activity. In this powerful booklet, Rick Joyner shows you how to recognize signs of the religious spirit and provides practical steps to overcome it. Embrace the simple love of God and learn how to live in the freedom of knowing you are seated with Him in heavenly places.

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!

We often speak harshly of the Pharisees when we read about all the ridiculous things they said and did during the time of Jesus. Have you ever noticed though, that they were acting the way they were out of a deep love for Yahweh? Yes, even sending Jesus to to the Cross was out of zeal for the same God that we serve today. So how could they have been so blind? They were influenced by a religious spirit. The religious spirit is a demonic entity tasked with masquerading as the Holy Spirit. It operates in the Church by influencing Christians to engage in behaviors and thought that seem righteous and holy, but actually bring division and destruction. In The Religious Spirit, Nate examines the work of this spirit, from the seeds in which it is allowed to take root, to the tactics it employs, to the harmful fruit it produces, to the method for gaining freedom from its nasty influence. This fascinating book will equip everyday believers to identify and destroy the influence of the religious spirit in their lives.

Have you ever asked yourself what changed when you were "born again?" You look in the mirror and see the same reflection - your body hasn't changed. You find yourself acting the same and yielding to those same old temptations - that didn't seem to change either. So you wonder, Has anything really changed? The correct answer to that question is foundational for receiving from God. If you lack this basic understanding, you'll forever ask yourself doubt-filled questions like: "How could God love somebody like me?" and "How can I possibly expect to receive anything from the Lord? I don't deserve it, I'm not good enough!" Spirit, Soul, and Body will help you eliminate those and other doubt-filled questions that destroy your faith. If you have trouble receiving from God, this is a must-read!
