Crushing Religious Strongholds That Block Your Breakthrough · Mornings with the Holy Spirit

• 0:01
  One revelation the enemy does not want
• 0:04
  you to have is how much God loves you.
• 0:07
  God looks at you as a spirit. He's not
• 0:10
  dealing with you according to your
• 0:11
  foibless, your flaws. He's dealing with
• 0:14
  you as a born again spirit. Of course,
• 0:16
  he sees your missteps. He sees your sin.
• 0:19
  He doesn't like that because it opens
• 0:20
  doors for the enemy to attack you, to
• 0:24
  steal, kill, and destroy. But Jesus
• 0:26
  loves you. No matter what you do,
• 0:29
  nothing can separate you from his love.
• 0:31
  Nothing. Not angels or principalities or
• 0:34
  peril or nakedness or distress. Nothing
• 0:38
  can separate you from his love. And when
• 0:40
  you get that revelation, man, it'll
• 0:43
  change your whole perspective on
• 0:44
  spiritual warfare. It really will. It's
• 0:47
  worth meditating on the love of God.
• 0:49
  It's like a weapon because the enemy
• 0:51
  comes with accusation, with
• 0:52
  condemnation. He wants you to feel bad
• 0:55
  about yourself. Now, there is a godly
• 0:57
  sorrow that leads to repentance, but he
• 0:59
  wants you to be condemned. And there is
• 1:01
  therefore now no condemnation to those
• 1:03
  who are in Christ Jesus as long as you
• 1:05
  feel condemned. You're not going to
• 1:06
  swing the sword. You're not going to run
• 1:08
  to the God who loves you. And the Holy
• 1:10
  Spirit shared with me a personal
• 1:12
  revelation that I want to share with
• 1:14
  you. But before I do, I want to remind
• 1:16
  you, well, this is the first time I've
• 1:17
  mentioned it to you about my course
• 1:20
  that's out right now. It's 90% off the
• 1:23
  regular donation ask. It's called God is
• 1:25
  not mad at you. Because if you if you
• 1:28
  feel like you're never quite enough for
• 1:29
  God, no matter how hard you try, if that
• 1:32
  religious spirit is attacking you and
• 1:36
  you're walking in legalism, trying to be
• 1:37
  perfect, listen, God is perfecting you.
• 1:40
  But you'll never be perfect until God
• 1:44
  until you go to heaven. So check out the
• 1:47
  course. This is a no-brainer. If you
• 1:50
  struggled with condemnation, shame, the
• 1:53
  accusations, please check it out at
• 1:56
  schoolofthespirit.tv/courses/godism
• 2:01
  mad. Again,
• 2:02
  schoolofthespirit.tv/courses/godism.
• 2:08
  Now, put on your spiritual ears. Here's
• 2:10
  what I heard the Lord say.
• 2:13
  I see your heart for Father. And that's
• 2:15
  what he's looking at. I see your heart
• 2:17
  for Jesus and it moves him. I see your
• 2:20
  heart for me and it delights me, says
• 2:23
  the spirit of God. Man looks at the
• 2:25
  outward appearance, the flaws, the
• 2:28
  weaknesses, even the strengths, but we
• 2:31
  look at your heart. Your love may seem
• 2:33
  imperfect and weak toward us in your own
• 2:35
  eyes, but it moves our heart. It thrills
• 2:38
  us, says the Lord. We know, we know, we
• 2:41
  love you more than you know. As you grow
• 2:44
  in revelation of our love for you, your
• 2:47
  love for us will increase. We're looking
• 2:49
  at your heart. We're watching your heart
• 2:51
  grow in love. We're watching you grow in
• 2:54
  Christ. We love you, says the spirit of
• 2:57
  God. Amen. You've got to get this
• 3:00
  revelation. This is this is the
• 3:02
  life-changing revelation. It all boils
• 3:04
  down to love. The the enemy may still
• 3:06
  attack you. He's going to still attack
• 3:08
  you. But when you're rooted and grounded
• 3:10
  in love, when you understand the
• 3:11
  breadth, the height, the length, the
• 3:12
  width of his love, I'm telling you, it
• 3:15
  changes your posture in the battle, in
• 3:17
  the trial, in the sickness, in the
• 3:20
  divorce, it changes your perspective. We
• 3:23
  need to see through the eyes of love.
• 3:25
  Amen. Scripture references are in the
• 3:27
  devotional. Pick up your copy of
• 3:30
  Mornings with the Holy Spirit on my
• 3:32
  website at jenniferlair.org or wherever
• 3:34
  you find books online. Now the prayer
• 3:36
  starter and the decree from the
• 3:38
  devotional f uh uh I feel as if I fail
• 3:43
  so many times. I do love you. Teach me
• 3:46
  how to love you more. Give me an
• 3:48
  anointing to love you more
• 3:52
  and more and more. Increase my capacity
• 3:55
  to love you more. You deserve all of my
• 3:58
  love more than I have to give in Jesus
• 4:01
  name. Amen. And amen. And with that
• 4:04
  jumping off point today, we're going to
• 4:05
  begin to bust these phariseical devils,
• 4:08
  these religious spirits, these demons
• 4:10
  that want to tell you who you're not
• 4:12
  when God has already told you who you
• 4:14
  are. We're going to pray into all that
• 4:16
  and more in today's mornings with the
• 4:18
  Holy Spirit. This is Jenniferlair. I'm

  questions as I can that were left on
• 5:57
  yesterday's broadcast after the
• 5:59
  conclusion of the broadcast. You can
• 6:01
  leave your questions and I yesterday
• 6:04
  answered as many as I could and today
• 6:06
  I'm going to do the same thing. So,
• 6:10
  please remember to leave your question
• 6:12
  and I will try to answer it after the
• 6:14
  broadcast. Leave your question. Amen.
• 6:16
  Praise God. So, good morning. Good
• 6:19
  morning. Good morning. Share this with
• 6:20
  somebody just quickly. I want to pray
• 6:21
  for as many people as I can. I'm praying
• 6:23
  for you today. That's why I'm here every
• 6:26
  morning is to pray for you. Amen. Amen.
• 6:30
  Amen. And with that, let's get on the
• 6:32
  same page about what we're praying
• 6:33
  about. And then we're going to launch
• 6:35
  out because some of you, I mean, you've
• 6:37
  done you've been fasting, you've been
• 6:39
  praying, you've been standing on every
• 6:41
  promise you can find in the word. And
• 6:42
  that's good. But you ask yourself, why
• 6:45
  does your breakthrough still feel like
• 6:47
  it's behind a locked door? And here's
• 6:49
  what nobody talks about. Sometimes the
• 6:51
  listen, the very thing blocking your
• 6:54
  breakthrough, sometimes it's not a
• 6:56
  demon. Sometimes it's not a generational
• 6:59
  curse. It's not sometimes even really a
• 7:02
  direct enemy attack. Listen, it's the
• 7:05
  residue of a past attack. It's a
• 7:06
  religious stronghold sitting right in
• 7:09
  the middle of your mind and you don't
• 7:11
  even know it's there. Some of you, you
• 7:13
  weren't raised in the church and you
• 7:15
  still have a religious mindset. We want
• 7:16
  to break that because I want you to
• 7:18
  receive God's love and walk in victory.
• 7:20
  You know, Paul told us in 2 Corinthians
• 7:22
  10:es 4 and 5 that the weapons of our
• 7:26
  warfare. They're they're they're not
• 7:28
  carnal. They're mighty through God for
• 7:31
  the pulling down of strongholds, casting
• 7:34
  down arguments and every high thing that
• 7:36
  exalts itself against the knowledge of
• 7:38
  God. And the word stronghold is the
• 7:41
  Greek word oioma and it means listen a
• 7:45
  fortified place. It's like a castle.
• 7:46
  It's like a prison. So a religious
• 7:49
  stronghold which is what we're going to
• 7:50
  break today is fortified.
• 7:53
  It's it's a it's a it's a thought
• 7:55
  pattern that's just been like fortified
• 7:57
  in your mind. It it's built on religious
• 7:59
  tradition, legalism.
• 8:02
  Sometimes that looks like perfectionism
• 8:05
  or just a distorted theology that holds
• 8:07
  your mind captive. You know, I was in a
• 8:09
  church for many years and they taught us
• 8:10
  that God's love was conditional and that
• 8:12
  did a lot of damage to me. So, I hate
• 8:14
  this religious spirit, you know. I mean,
• 8:17
  this religious spirit quotes scriptures,
• 8:19
  but it stands directly against the true
• 8:22
  knowledge of God, who he is, and what
• 8:25
  he's already done for you, what he wants
• 8:26
  to do for you in your life. And that's
• 8:28
  what makes this so dangerous. You'll
• 8:30
  fight a demon all day long, but you
• 8:32
  won't fight something you think came
• 8:34
  from God. It's a religious spirit and
• 8:36
  you'll think that God is mad at you.
• 8:39
  This Pharisee spirit is alive and well.
• 8:42
  And on my website, I've got an article
• 8:44
  and it goes over five religious
• 8:46
  strongholds that block breakthrough. And
• 8:49
  I want you to go read that. I don't have
• 8:51
  time to teach all this right now, but go
• 8:52
  read the blog. Go read the blog. Check
• 8:55
  it out. And you can stop defending
• 8:57
  what's holding you captive. Amen. So,
• 9:00
  let's begin to lift up the name of
• 9:02
  Jesus. Let's begin to praise him because
• 9:04
  he's worthy. Amen. He's not religious.
• 9:06
  Amen. He is worthy. So, Father, we do.
• 9:09
  We thank you today. We give you all the
• 9:12
  praise. We give you all the glory. We
• 9:14
  magnify your name, Jesus, because
• 9:16
  there's no one like you. You're not full
• 9:18
  of legalistic demands on us. You've
• 9:20
  given us one command to love our God and
• 9:23
  to love each other. The second is as is
• 9:26
  as important as the first. So, help us,
• 9:28
  Lord, because we want to receive your
• 9:29
  love. We don't want to walk around with
• 9:32
  condemnation and shame and all of these
• 9:34
  wrong thoughts about who you are and how
• 9:36
  you feel about us. Father, we repent for
• 9:39
  allowing that religious spirit to to
• 9:42
  sway our thoughts about who you are.
• 9:46
  Lord, we renounce all the religious
• 9:49
  whispers, the religiosity in our minds,
• 9:51
  the strong, we renounce it. We want to
• 9:53
  be free in the name of Jesus. So,
• 9:56
  Father, in the name of Jesus, I'm asking
• 9:58
  you today to expose every religious
• 10:01
  stronghold, hiding in our minds,
• 10:03
  blocking our breakthroughs, causing us
• 10:05
  to think somehow you're mad at us.
• 10:07
  You're not mad at us. You love us with a
• 10:09
  with a with a faithful love. Every every
• 10:12
  fortified lie pretending to be the truth
• 10:15
  in our mind, I command it to collapse
• 10:17
  now in the name of Jesus. And I pull
• 10:19
  down every argument that has exalted
• 10:22
  itself against the true knowledge of God
• 10:24
  in our lives. every religious prison
• 10:27
  built in our thinking, we break open the
• 10:31
  doors of that prison now by the power of
• 10:33
  the Holy Spirit and our praise. We
• 10:36
  praise you. We praise our way through.
• 10:38
  We praise our way out. We praise our way
• 10:41
  into the breakthrough that you've died
• 10:43
  to give us so we can walk in it, live in
• 10:46
  it. Lord, we renounce every every
• 10:49
  tradition of man that has made the word
• 10:51
  of God of no effect in our lives. Lord,
• 10:54
  forgive us. We've only hurt ourselves,
• 10:56
  but we may also indeed have hurt our
• 10:58
  children, people around us with this
• 11:00
  religiosity. Father, deliver us from
• 11:03
  every teaching, every every atmosphere,
• 11:05
  every mindset that made bondage look
• 11:08
  like holiness.
• 11:12
  Every every religious veil over our
• 11:14
  spiritual eyes catch fire and burn up in
• 11:18
  the name of Jesus. Lord, help us to see
• 11:20
  you rightly. Help us to see you clearly.
• 11:23
  You are good. You are love. You're not
• 11:26
  an angry God full of wrath waiting to
• 11:28
  punish us at every step, every time we
• 11:30
  miss it. No, no, no. We break agreement
• 11:33
  with every lie that says God doesn't
• 11:34
  want to bless us. That we have to
• 11:36
  perform for the blessing. You've already
• 11:39
  blessed us with every spiritual blessing
• 11:41
  in Christ. So, we break agreement with
• 11:44
  every lie that says breakthrough is
• 11:46
  selfish. It's carnal. It's unspiritual.
• 11:49
  No, Jesus is the breaker. And we are
• 11:52
  breaking through today in the name of
• 11:54
  Jesus. We reject all theology that makes
• 11:58
  us afraid to believe God for more as if
• 12:01
  we're worthless worms. No, we are united
• 12:03
  with Christ. We are one with him. You
• 12:06
  died to give us an abundant life to save
• 12:08
  us. Yes, but also that we might walk in
• 12:10
  abundance in this age. So every
• 12:12
  stronghold of unworthiness speaking
• 12:14
  against our inheritance be silenced by
• 12:18
  the blood of Jesus.
• 12:20
  I renounce the lie. We renounce that
• 12:22
  lie. Come on. That we must earn. Somehow
• 12:24
  we got to earn for what Jesus already
• 12:26
  paid for. He shed his blood for it. So
• 12:29
  every voice saying, "Who are you to ask
• 12:31
  God for that? We muzzle you in the name
• 12:34
  of Jesus." And and we receive the truth.
• 12:38
  Lord, help us to remember to meditate on
• 12:41
  who we are. We are accepted in the
• 12:43
  beloved. We are qualified not by
• 12:46
  anything we've done, but by the blood of
• 12:48
  Jesus, the shed blood of the sinless
• 12:50
  lamb. It's because of what you did that
• 12:53
  we are who we are in the spirit. So, we
• 12:56
  uproot every mindset that makes us feel
• 12:59
  disqualified from your promises. And we
• 13:01
  cast down every thought that says our
• 13:03
  past is stronger than the blood of the
• 13:07
  lamb. every religious accusation
• 13:10
  attacking our confidence before God. We
• 13:13
  we we we don't even want to pray because
• 13:14
  we feel we we we we fall to the ground
• 13:18
  in Jesus name. And we refuse. We flat
• 13:21
  out refuse and reject the notion that we
• 13:24
  have to stand outside the door of
• 13:27
  breakthrough because of shame.
• 13:30
  We we we decree and declare that shame
• 13:32
  is not our gatekeeper. Hallelujah. We
• 13:36
  break the power of of false guilt that
• 13:38
  just keeps us begging. We're begging for
• 13:41
  what God has already freely given. He's
• 13:43
  already done it. He's already provided
• 13:45
  for it. We don't have to beg for it. We
• 13:47
  have to we have to believe for it. So
• 13:50
  help us, Lord. Help our unbelief
• 13:53
  in the name of Jesus. In the name of
• 13:55
  Jesus. God, help us to see ourselves
• 13:57
  like you see us, not as religion paints
• 14:00
  us. Help us to see you as you are, not
• 14:03
  as religion paints you. You're not
• 14:05
  sitting there with a hammer ready to
• 14:06
  whack us every time we make a mistake.
• 14:09
  Jesus, help us. Oh, and and Lord, that
• 14:12
  stronghold of false humility that comes
• 14:14
  through that religiosity, Lord, break it
• 14:16
  off our lives in the name of Jesus. We
• 14:20
  we renounce every form of fear
• 14:24
  masquerading as humility or or pride
• 14:27
  because we think we did do all that we
• 14:29
  should have done and we think somehow we
• 14:31
  deserve we don't deserve anything. We
• 14:33
  receive it because of what you did
• 14:35
  because you took a punishment that you
• 14:37
  didn't deserve. So we reject the lie
• 14:39
  that asking boldly is pride. You told us
• 14:43
  to come boldly to the throne of grace to
• 14:45
  find grace and obtain mercy in the the
• 14:47
  time of need. We are always in a time of
• 14:49
  need. We need you, God. We love you,
• 14:52
  God. We want you, God. So father give us
• 14:55
  holy boldness
• 14:58
  to ask to seek to knock and contend
• 15:02
  according to your word because your word
• 15:05
  does not fail. So every religious
• 15:08
  mindset that calls passivity submission,
• 15:11
  we expose you. We destroy you in the
• 15:14
  name of Jesus and we refuse to hide
• 15:16
  behind if it be thy will. No, we know
• 15:20
  your will. Your will is in your word.
• 15:22
  And we are standing on your word. We are
• 15:25
  confessing your word. We are speaking
• 15:27
  your word. We are meditating on your
• 15:29
  word. We are renewing our minds about
• 15:31
  you, about your promises, about us with
• 15:35
  your word. So deliver us from cowardice
• 15:37
  dressed up in spiritual language. And
• 15:40
  Lord, wow, break the assignment that
• 15:43
  says we should not contend for what you
• 15:45
  promise. It'll come to pass if he wills,
• 15:47
  when he wants. No, we're contending for
• 15:49
  the promises. We're contending. We're
• 15:51
  fighting the good fight of faith. So,
• 15:53
  Holy Spirit, teach us the difference
• 15:56
  between presumption and faith. We're not
• 15:58
  presuming on you. We're believing what
• 16:00
  you did by grace. And we're taking it by
• 16:04
  the hand of faith today because you're
• 16:06
  not mad at us. We receive courage even
• 16:09
  now to believe you no matter what. No
• 16:11
  matter what, no matter what religion
• 16:13
  says. So every stronghold of suffering
• 16:16
  theology that just glorifies bondage, we
• 16:19
  break that now in the name of Jesus. And
• 16:21
  we renounce every belief that says God
• 16:23
  wants us, you know, he's punishing us.
• 16:25
  We're we're sick because we did
• 16:26
  something bad. We did something wrong. I
• 16:29
  break that. God is a healer. And we
• 16:31
  reject every doctrine that makes defeat
• 16:34
  uh you know, just somehow it's
• 16:35
  excusable. No, we are more than
• 16:37
  conquerors in Christ Jesus. So, Father,
• 16:40
  give us wisdom and understanding of who
• 16:42
  we are, who you are, what you've done.
• 16:44
  We will not call oppression the will of
• 16:47
  God. We're not being punished. We will
• 16:49
  not call delay the will of God when it's
• 16:51
  really unbelief. We will not call
• 16:53
  bondage our cross when Jesus came to set
• 16:56
  us free. The cross we carry is not
• 16:59
  bondage. His his his commandments,
• 17:02
  they're not burdensome. God is not mad
• 17:04
  at us. So every religious spirit that
• 17:06
  has trained us to expect less than God
• 17:08
  promised, lose your grip now in the name
• 17:11
  of Jesus. We will receive. We we receive
• 17:13
  and we choose to walk in the abundant
• 17:16
  life that Jesus came to give us. And
• 17:19
  every mindset of barely surviving
• 17:21
  wrapped in all this religious language.
• 17:23
  Break off our soul in the name of Jesus.
• 17:26
  Every stronghold of delayed expectation,
• 17:29
  we command you to collapse now. And
• 17:32
  furthermore, we renounce this passive
• 17:34
  waiting that doesn't pray. We don't
• 17:36
  press. We don't believe. No, we are
• 17:38
  overcomers. We are more than conquerors.
• 17:41
  So, we reject every lie that uses God's
• 17:44
  sovereignty as an excuse for spiritual
• 17:46
  laziness. Yes, God is in control, but he
• 17:49
  has made promises that do not fail. And
• 17:51
  they are accessible to us when we
• 17:53
  believe. All we have to do is believe.
• 17:55
  Only believe. I thank you, Lord. awaken
• 17:57
  our hearts to know when it's time to
• 17:59
  wait and when it's time to war. Every
• 18:02
  demonic delay hiding behind religious
• 18:04
  language, we expose you now in the name
• 18:07
  of Jesus. We refuse to let delay become
• 18:09
  our doctrine. We refuse to make a
• 18:11
  theology out of disappointment. We
• 18:13
  refuse to protect unbelief by calling it
• 18:15
  patience. Yes, by faith and patience, we
• 18:18
  inherit the promises of God. But let us
• 18:20
  see when we're in unbelief. Help us to
• 18:22
  see when that religious spirit has
• 18:23
  talked us out of the breakthrough.
• 18:26
  Huh? And let every answer held up by
• 18:29
  resistance be released in the name of
• 18:31
  Jesus. Every stronghold of religious
• 18:33
  control in our life, we break you by the
• 18:35
  power of the Holy Spirit. And we
• 18:38
  renounce every mindset that says God can
• 18:40
  only move one way. So we break agreement
• 18:44
  with every theological box that we've
• 18:46
  placed around the Holy Spirit. Father,
• 18:49
  forgive us for rejecting what we didn't
• 18:51
  understand. and Holy Spirit just blow
• 18:55
  your wind in our lives and blow away the
• 18:58
  residue of that religious spirit. So we
• 19:01
  surrender our need to control the
• 19:02
  method, the timing, the vessel, the
• 19:05
  manifestation of our breakthrough and
• 19:07
  every religious filter that causes us to
• 19:09
  miss God. We shatter you now in the name
• 19:12
  of Jesus. And we reject every fear of
• 19:16
  the unexpected move of God. We refuse to
• 19:19
  shut the door on breakthrough because it
• 19:21
  doesn't come through the channel we
• 19:23
  expected. Lord, Lord, Lord, make us
• 19:25
  flexible. Give us discernment. Help us
• 19:27
  to obey you. Huh? In the name of Jesus.
• 19:31
  So, every inherited religious stronghold
• 19:33
  even from church cultures, that's just
• 19:35
  what we were taught. We expose those
• 19:37
  lies. We break those lies in the name of
• 19:39
  Jesus. Every lie handed down through
• 19:42
  tradition. Lose your authority in our
• 19:44
  minds now in Jesus name. We renounce
• 19:48
  every spiritual atmosphere that rewarded
• 19:50
  performance and punished weakness. When
• 19:53
  we're weak, he's strong. We're not
• 19:55
  perfect. We're being perfected. So, I
• 19:57
  break the power of religious performance
• 19:58
  over our identities. We refuse to
• 20:01
  measure our worth by works or image or
• 20:04
  approval or achievement. We are valuable
• 20:06
  to God. God is not mad at us. Lord,
• 20:09
  deliver us from needing to look
• 20:11
  spiritual while just secretly staying
• 20:13
  bound. We're sister Christian over here,
• 20:15
  brother Christian over here. And we're
• 20:16
  suffering. I break that that that that
• 20:18
  that that that need to to to hide in
• 20:21
  Jesus name to put on that mask of
• 20:23
  religion. We rip it off now in the name
• 20:25
  of Jesus. So every fear even being
• 20:28
  honest before God, Lord, break that. You
• 20:30
  know everything.
• 20:32
  So we come boldly before the throne of
• 20:34
  grace to obtain mercy and find grace to
• 20:37
  help. We reject religious perfectionism
• 20:41
  that keeps us from receiving your grace.
• 20:43
  And Lord, we repent. We repent for
• 20:45
  believing lies about who you are. You're
• 20:47
  a good God. You're not mad at us. We
• 20:50
  repent for allowing tradition to define
• 20:53
  you more than scripture. You tell us who
• 20:55
  you are in your word. You are merciful.
• 20:57
  You are kind. You are generous. So we
• 21:00
  repent for for agreeing with fear,
• 21:03
  shame, unbelief. We repent for defending
• 21:06
  mindsets that hold us captive. We repent
• 21:08
  for calling bondage wisdom, for calling
• 21:11
  passivity patience, for calling unbelief
• 21:14
  caution, for calling religious control
• 21:17
  discernment. We repent for resisting
• 21:19
  freedom because it challenged our old
• 21:22
  theology. We want to walk in the freedom
• 21:24
  that you died to give us. So help us see
• 21:26
  rightly. You're not mad at us. Lord,
• 21:29
  change our mind. Help us renew our mind
• 21:31
  where our minds have been trained by
• 21:32
  religion instead of revelation of who
• 21:35
  you are. Let true repentance become the
• 21:37
  first swing of the hammer against every
• 21:39
  religious stronghold and every
• 21:41
  foundation of wrong thinking in our
• 21:44
  lives. I command you to crack and
• 21:46
  crumble now under the power of the word
• 21:48
  and the spirit. And we uproot every lie
• 21:52
  by repentance and we replace it with the
• 21:55
  true word of God, the living word of
• 21:57
  God. Father, renew our minds. Help us
• 21:59
  renew our minds by the Holy Spirit. Help
• 22:02
  us to lean into the spirit who helps us
• 22:04
  to to catch the revelation to to
• 22:07
  understand.
• 22:08
  Help us to just continually renew our
• 22:11
  minds till our thoughts agree with your
• 22:14
  truth. And I command every old pattern
• 22:17
  of religious thinking to bow to the
• 22:19
  obedience of Christ. And every mental
• 22:22
  fortress built by fear fall down in the
• 22:26
  name of Jesus. Every mental fortress
• 22:28
  built by disappointment, fall down in
• 22:31
  the name of Jesus. Those who hope in the
• 22:33
  Lord will never be put to shame. So
• 22:35
  every mental fortress built by shame,
• 22:38
  fall down in Jesus' name. Every mental
• 22:41
  fortress built by legalism, fall down in
• 22:44
  Jesus' name. Every mental fortress built
• 22:47
  by distorted theology, fall down in
• 22:49
  Jesus name. Huh? I take authority over
• 22:52
  every argument rising in our minds that
• 22:55
  that's against God's goodness. God is
• 22:57
  not mad at us. I take authority over
• 22:59
  every thought that contradicts the
• 23:01
  finished work of the cross. I take
• 23:03
  authority over every religious
• 23:05
  accusation that weakens our faith. I
• 23:08
  take authority over every inner voice
• 23:10
  that makes God sound harsh or distant or
• 23:13
  unwilling or angry. God is not mad at
• 23:16
  us. Father, restore the true knowledge
• 23:18
  of God in our heart as we lean into the
• 23:20
  word. Let every counterfeit image of God
• 23:23
  be destroyed in the name of Jesus. Let
• 23:26
  every lie about the father's heart for
• 23:28
  us be overturned now in the name of
• 23:30
  Jesus. Let every distortion of grace be
• 23:33
  corrected by the truth of the word. The
• 23:35
  truth makes us free. The truth
• 23:37
  sanctifies us. Let every distortion of
• 23:40
  holiness be corrected by the truth. Let
• 23:42
  every distortion of humility be
• 23:44
  corrected by the truth. We refuse to
• 23:48
  defend what has been holding us captive.
• 23:50
  That religious spirit must break in the
• 23:53
  name of Jesus. And those religious
• 23:54
  spirits attacking us must break in the
• 23:56
  name of Jesus. We refuse to protect
• 23:59
  strongholds because they sound familiar.
• 24:02
  It sounds like the word. That's what we
• 24:04
  were taught. No, we refuse familiarity
• 24:07
  with truth. We refuse to to confuse
• 24:10
  tradition with revelation. We refuse to
• 24:13
  uh to to just to to continue to think
• 24:15
  that you're mad or somehow disappointed
• 24:17
  us. That's a lie from the pit of hell.
• 24:19
  and every defensive reaction protecting
• 24:22
  a stronghold, we expose you now in the
• 24:25
  name of Jesus. Lord, give us the grace
• 24:27
  of humility to admit where we've been
• 24:30
  wrong about you. Give us the courage to
• 24:32
  tear down these strongholds that we've
• 24:34
  protected through wrong teaching,
• 24:36
  through vain imaginations. Lord, give us
• 24:39
  the discernment to separate your word
• 24:42
  from man's tradition. Give us the
• 24:44
  boldness to walk free even if others
• 24:47
  misunderstand. and every Pharisee spirit
• 24:51
  resisting freedom in our lives, we
• 24:53
  rebuke you in the name of Jesus. Every
• 24:55
  religious spirit policing our
• 24:57
  breakthrough, lose your influence now.
• 24:59
  Every spirit that uses scripture out of
• 25:02
  context to keep us bound, be silenced.
• 25:05
  Every spirit, every religious spirit
• 25:07
  that makes God's promises feel
• 25:08
  dangerous, we expose you. We overthrow
• 25:10
  you. Every religious spirit that makes
• 25:12
  faith feel presumptuous, we bind you.
• 25:15
  Every religious spirit that makes bold
• 25:17
  prayer feel pride prideful, we we cast
• 25:19
  you down. Every religious intimidation
• 25:22
  against our prayer life, we break you
• 25:25
  now in the name of Jesus. All religious
• 25:28
  intimidation against our faith, we break
• 25:30
  you now in Jesus name. Every religious
• 25:33
  intimidation against our breakthrough,
• 25:35
  we break you now. Every religious
• 25:37
  intimidation against our obedience, we
• 25:39
  break you now in the name of Jesus.
• 25:41
  God's will is the safest place to be. He
• 25:44
  has our back. He will help us if we
• 25:46
  fall. So, Father, restore our confidence
• 25:49
  to ask according to your will that the
• 25:51
  religious spirit stole. Restore our
• 25:53
  confidence to believe your promises
• 25:55
  without having to perform. You're the
• 25:57
  one who watches over the word to perform
• 25:58
  it. We just have to believe it. Lord,
• 26:00
  restore our confidence to receive what
• 26:03
  Jesus purchased for us by his blood on
• 26:05
  the cross. Father, restore our
• 26:07
  confidence to contend without shame.
• 26:11
  Lord, restore our confidence to expect
• 26:13
  your goodness in the land of the living.
• 26:15
  You are not mad at us.
• 26:18
  Jesus, I declare that our breakthrough
• 26:21
  is not behind a locked door of religion.
• 26:24
  That door is open. I declare the blood
• 26:26
  of Jesus has opened the way. The breaker
• 26:29
  has broken through so we can follow him
• 26:31
  into victory. I declare that no
• 26:33
  stronghold in our mind will block what
• 26:35
  God has ordained. We tear it down in
• 26:38
  Jesus name. I declare no religious lie
• 26:40
  will cancel our inheritance. We are
• 26:43
  co-airs with Christ. Not because of what
• 26:46
  we do, but because of what Jesus did. We
• 26:49
  declare that no tradition of man will
• 26:51
  overrule the command of God in our life.
• 26:54
  Every locked door created by religious
• 26:56
  spirits be opened now in Jesus name. And
• 26:59
  every blessing blocked by religious
• 27:01
  spirits be released now in Jesus name.
• 27:04
  Every promise delayed by unbelief, come
• 27:06
  forth now in Jesus name. Every
• 27:09
  breakthrough hindered by religious
• 27:11
  spirits, we command you to manifest now
• 27:13
  by the power of God. Every area where
• 27:15
  we've been waiting because of a lie that
• 27:17
  religion told us, we move now. We step
• 27:20
  into the promise.
• 27:22
  So we command our minds to align with
• 27:24
  the word of God. We command our emotions
• 27:26
  to come out from under religious
• 27:28
  bondage. We command our faith to rise up
• 27:31
  against the disappointment that religion
• 27:33
  serves us up. And we command our
• 27:35
  expectation to awaken again. We command
• 27:37
  our mouth to pray with boldness again
• 27:39
  with no fear of religion. We pick up the
• 27:42
  weapons of our warfare and we pull down
• 27:44
  every stronghold. We swing the hammer of
• 27:47
  truth against every wall that religion
• 27:50
  built in our minds. And we swing the
• 27:52
  hammer of repentance against every lie
• 27:54
  we believed about God because of a
• 27:56
  religious theology. We swing the hammer
• 27:58
  of scripture against every argument by
• 28:00
  religious spirits opposing our
• 28:02
  breakthrough. And we swing the hammer of
• 28:04
  faith against every thought that says
• 28:07
  God will not do it for us. We will not
• 28:09
  stop until every wall comes down. We
• 28:11
  will not treat be retreat because
• 28:13
  religion the voice becomes louder. We
• 28:16
  will not surrender our breakthrough to
• 28:18
  our religious lie. We agree with the
• 28:20
  word of God over every tradition, fear,
• 28:22
  doctrine, accusation, all of it. And we
• 28:25
  thank you Lord in the name of Jesus that
• 28:27
  every religious stronghold blocking our
• 28:29
  breakthrough is crushed. Every lie
• 28:31
  broken, every wall is down and our mind
• 28:34
  is free to believe you again. We give
• 28:36
  you all the praise, all the honor and
• 28:38
  all the glory. We magnify your holy
• 28:40
  name. You are awesome. You are mighty.
• 28:43
  You are worthy. And we praise you
• 28:45
  because you're not a religious God and
• 28:47
  you're not mad at us in Jesus name.
• 28:50
  Amen. And amen.
• 28:55
  Hallelujah. God is good all the time.
• 28:59
  All the time. God is good. You know, I
• 29:02
  was in this church and they the the
• 29:03
  apostle literally told us it was like
• 29:05
  the last couple years I was there that
• 29:07
  God's love is conditional and he was an
• 29:09
  angry guy. And so the picture I got was
• 29:12
  of an angry God. You know, if your
• 29:14
  father, your natural father was an angry
• 29:17
  guy, then that was the representative
• 29:19
  you had of God. You know, my dad was,
• 29:22
  you never knew, he's passed away, but
• 29:24
  you never knew if he was going to be in
• 29:26
  a good mood or a bad mood, if he was
• 29:27
  going to throw plates, uh, you know, if
• 29:30
  he was going to break sliding glass
• 29:31
  doors in anger
• 29:34
  or if he was going to be in a good mood.
• 29:36
  And many people feel the same way about
• 29:38
  God. They feel like, well, you know, if
• 29:41
  I'm good enough, he'll bless me. He'll
• 29:43
  heal me. He'll deliver me. He'll prosper
• 29:45
  me. No. No. No. No. No. That's religion.
• 29:48
  That's not what the Bible teaches.
• 29:50
  That's not what the word says.
• 29:54
  Listen, that's not what the word says.
• 29:58
  And I want you to go grab this course.

  relationship with God. This is going to
• 30:11
  help you break free from guilt and shame
• 30:14
  and this performance-driven thinking so
• 30:15
  you can finally rest in his love. I want
• 30:18
  you to discover what the cross really
• 30:20
  accomplished. I want you to silence that
• 30:22
  voice of condemnation and learn to
• 30:24
  approach God with confidence. I want you
• 30:27

  not mad. He's not mad. It took me after
• 31:20
  I left that church. I'll tell you, it
• 31:22
  took me well over a year, well over a
• 31:26
  year to shake that uh mindset. But I
• 31:30
  didn't have
• 31:32
  something I could just watch. I didn't
• 31:34
  have these teachings like I'm offering
• 31:36
  you
• 31:37
  so that I could
• 31:40
  quickly fasttrack the renewal of my mind
• 31:42
  to have somebody else actually tell me
• 31:44
  and prove it by scripture without having
• 31:46
  to spend you know
• 31:49
  all this this teaching you it would take
• 31:51
  you a long time to dig all this out in
• 31:53
  the word yourself. You can you certainly
• 31:56
  can. Anybody can but there's five
• 31:58
  classes why people think God is mad at
• 32:00
  them. breaking the lie of condemnation.
• 32:04
  How shame hijacks your identity, the
• 32:06
  high cost of believing God is mad at
• 32:08
  you. There's a huge cost. Would you
• 32:10
  think God's mad at you? And you know,
• 32:12
  sometimes it's subtle. Oh, I don't think
• 32:14
  God's mad at me. Uh, but then when
• 32:16
  trials come and warfare comes, you don't
• 32:18
  do everything right. You feel bad, you
• 32:19
  feel guilty, you feel ashamed, you feel
• 32:21
  condemned, you feel like you can't ask
• 32:23
  God for one more thing, you feel like,
• 32:25
  nah, I better wait just for the big
• 32:27
  things. All that's religion. and and the
• 32:30
  the the other class is understanding the
• 32:31
  finished work of the cross. Most
• 32:34
  Christians don't understand this and
• 32:35
  they're living below their means. And
• 32:37
  it's just heartbreaking to me that Jesus
• 32:40
  took the stripes at the whipping post
• 32:42
  and died on a cross to forgive your sin
• 32:45
  so you could walk in close fellowship
• 32:46
  with him. You're born again. It's not
• 32:50
  your actions aren't who you are. You
• 32:52
  have to learn how to separate your who
• 32:54
  from your do. who you are and what your
• 32:57
  behavior aren't always going to line up
• 33:01
  because you're not perfect, but we're
• 33:03
  growing in Christ. Amen. So, please go
• 33:06
  get this course. I want to answer some
• 33:07
  of your questions from yesterday's
• 33:09
  broadcast. Please go get this course at
• 33:11
  schoolofthespirit.tv/courses/godism
• 33:15
  mad. If you don't get it soon, uh that
• 33:17
  special deal will be over and you can
• 33:20
  still get it, but not for that special
• 33:21
  deal. All right, listen. I want to
• 33:24
  answer a couple of your questions. Let
• 33:25
  me see who made questions.
• 33:31
  Are there any questions on today?
• 33:35
  Let's see.
• 33:38
  I probably should have looked at this
• 33:39
  before the broadcast, huh? It's early in
• 33:41
  the morning. Give your sister a break.
• 33:45
  Amen. Praise God. So far, all I see are
• 33:50
  uh mornings from Bahama. I love your
• 33:52
  defeating water spirits book.
• 33:55
  So after the broadcast is over, that's
• 33:57
  when you leave your questions.
• 34:00
  Here's a question. The Lord gave me a
• 34:02
  dream of a witch he delivered me from.
• 34:05
  In this dream, she had a husband that
• 34:06
  was a demon. Was he possibly showing me
• 34:09
  her demonic spirit husband? Possibly. He
• 34:13
  had a human body and a light for a head
• 34:15
  that burned her when she didn't do as he
• 34:17
  told her. I'm not sure what to do with
• 34:19
  that dream besides maybe pray for her.
• 34:20
  it sound. Yeah, there's definitely a
• 34:22
  demon. If your dream is accurate, it
• 34:24
  came from the Lord. The first thing you
• 34:25
  have to do is judge the source of the
• 34:26
  dream. But let's assume that it's a true
• 34:28
  dream.
• 34:30
  Then yes, there's definitely something
• 34:32
  going on that is attacking this person
• 34:34
  and all you can do is pray. Amen. That's
• 34:38
  all you can do. You cannot um you cannot
• 34:42
  uh
• 34:44
  do anything more than that. That's
• 34:46
  that's that's be what would be uh
• 34:47
  binding beyond your authority. question.
• 34:50
  I have movement in my belly especially
• 34:52
  when I pray. Help me overcome this this
• 34:54
  being long. Um well that's you need
• 34:57
  deliverance and um I can't help you at
• 35:03
  this moment but you can take my self-d
• 35:05
  deliverance course. It's called self
• 35:07
  deliverance made simple. It's at
• 35:09
  schoolofthespirit.tv/courses

  selfd deliverance. You can check that
• 35:17
  out. Kathy says,"I know that we are to
• 35:20
  pray for and bless our enemies, but it
• 35:22
  is ever right to pray in purgatory
• 35:24
  psalms." You know, I did a whole video
• 35:26
  on my YouTube channel. And by the way,
• 35:28

  all these teachings that are coming out
• 35:36
  all the time. We're gearing up and
• 35:38
  ramping up. Um but um uh
• 35:43
  yeah, and purgatory prayers are they're
• 35:45
  prayed toward demons, not people. That's
• 35:47
  the bottom line.
• 35:50
  That is the bottom line.
• 35:52
  That is the bottom line. I think those
• 35:54
  are all the questions.
• 35:57
  Let me just look from
• 36:03
