THE SPIRIT OF RELIGION

And so the Lord says, “These people say they are mine. They honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. And their worship of me is nothing but man-made rules learned by rote. *God is not interested in outward worship devoid of inward dedication that can only come from inside the heart. *1 John 4:1* Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. So many things are happening today and you ask yourself wow this is not from God,but because the people desire no change they desire not the spirit of God which is the spirit of truth they prefer to play the religious game Which is the forerunner that leads people to hell, they deny God's Godliness and choose to live a lie. *Ephesians 4:1-16* Therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urges you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call one Lord, one faith, one baptism This passage clearly defines the difference between those who worship God in spirit and truth, it simply talked about the attribute of true spirit filled worshippers of God and not religious worshippers whose only sole purposes is to be seen as holy and to be hailed by men Let's have a revaluation of our worship. Are we still worshiping God in spirit and in truth? or have we consciously or unconsciously stray away from the truth? The religious spirit is a highly deceptive one,it can hide for years without you knowing. I have seen people who have spent 15 years in a church yet no nothing about God but feel their services in church is enough to buy them a pass into the kingdom of heaven this is a great deception let's change this and know God in truth and in spirit.And allow is spirit to rest and dwell in us.
