The Religious Spirit:

The Religious spirit is active in this land. One of the great deceptions that the religious spirit uses is that it makes people feel good about themselves, when they do good things for the reward and/or honor of men. Religion is basically what man does that makes himself feel justified before God. It is Jesus-less stuff.

Religion is founded on zeal.

Rom. 10:2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

Religion is not Christianity. Christianity is not religion. Zeal for God is a good thing. But, zeal is not faith.

Rev 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

God requires obedience. It is much better than all our sacrifice. The Religious spirit will give us support in doing what we want to do for God, that is to say, what we choose to sacrifice.

1Sa 15:22 And Samuel said, Hath the LORD [as great] delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey [is] better than sacrifice, [and] to hearken than the fat of rams.

We can build a great university and call it Christian or Godly, but if it is for the glory of itself, it is religion. Many a movement started in humility ends in man glory.

My call in the Spirit as a prophet of God: Lord, I call upon you to tear down everything in this nation that calls itself by your name but does glorify you by submitting to your greater purpose for this hour.
I call for a breaking of the spirit of Babylon in this nation.

Amen
