Religious people live by a set of rules! They have no spiritual victory but live struggling to manage the consequences of satanic habits over their lives! They easily fall for any enticing temptation, are always frustrated, sometimes hateful, tired, fearful, proud, easily panic, stressed, controlling, and are mostly unhappy!
It’s clear in the scriptures that being only religious but not born of the Spirit of God, you will still be a slave to sin though guided by a set of rules!
A person born of the Spirit of God is filled by the Holy Spirit, lives by grace and is able to keep nearly any set of rules thrown on their way!
Such a person is normally victorious spiritually without focusing on the rules as they are led by love!
You may ask, when is one Godly Spiritual and NOT religious?
1. When you come to REALISATION that the silent yearning for satisfaction in one’s soul is NOT FIXED by wealth, fame, food, drink, drugs, alcohol, any gratification of the flesh such as sex, or by sensory activities, but ONLY through The Holy Spirit.
2. When you start living by showing LOVE towards your fellow man by NOT basing your interaction on a set of rules. When your heart changes from that of a Pharisee. The Pharisees didn’t have an iota of mercy towards anyone. Their set of rules were more important as one could not even be allowed to seek healing on a sabbath however desperate the situation was!
3. When you start RELYING on the Holy Spirit’s anointing and NOT your eloquence.
4. When your overall life is being shaped and GUIDED by the Holy Spirit and not a set of blind schedules! A schedule should be a tool to implement divine guidance!
5. When you don’t base your spiritual development on a religious education but on CHARACTER building, that is moulded daily by the Holy Spirit.
6. When you DON’T base your belief on THEOLOGY but REVELATION.
7. When you judge the hidden through DISCERNMENT not PSYCHOLOGY.
8. When you live by realisation that SPIRITUAL POWER does NOT always make sense to humans.
Live In Spiritual Victory
