Is your commitment to Jesus or religion?

“But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship HimGod is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:23-24

Many believers are touched by the love of God and then are drawn into religion believing they are pleasing God. Nothing can be further from the truth.

Hypocrisy is acting like a believer. The Christ follower walks by faith and lives in oneness with Me through the Holy Spirit. His priority in life is seeking out My will and living in obedience to Me. He is a light touching those living in darkness. 

The local church is a filling station. It is not your home. Your home is living in oneness with Jesus anchored to the Holy Spirit.

The journey with God is always about going out into life to spread the gospel.

Jesus never allowed the apostles to live with Him isolated from life.

The apostles were with Jesus for a short period of time to be prepared and equipped for ministry.

The missionary spirit lives in every believer.

How can you and I live out the words of Jesus “Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

God tends to take believers into the gutters of life to do the work of ministry. You’re not much help to God sitting in a church pretending to be religious. 

The heavy duty work of Jesus is done through intercession bringing down strongholds and setting people free. Intercession begins and ends with God and is a very holy calling. 

Intercession is extremely difficult as you labor in the Spirit without any personal glory or acclaim. But you will be very close to God and reap many rewards for your efforts.

Intercession teaches you about the reality of ministry. You participate in the war between light and darkness. 

The great work of God is done through intercessors who are used by Jesus in accord with the Lord’s Prayer “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven”.

Walk by faith with God and be open to the missionary spirit dwelling within you.

The ministry of Jesus is to bring counsel, execute judgment, hide the outcasts, and make your shadow like the night in the middle of the day. This is the life of a believer!
