Battling the Religious spirit
I think there are numerous ways to battle victoriously over the religious spirit...first of all when I am in worship in a public setting, and I feel restricted to not be as expressive or passionate or free as I would normally be by myself before the Lord, I believe that can be simply insecurities, but a lot of times it's the religious spirit.
I can make a choice to enter into communion with the True Holy Spirit who lives in me and who will manifest Himself IN/THROUGH/ON/AROUND me. Entering in by opening the gate of our wills when the presence of God is PRESENT puts us instantly into a place of genuine communion with God where we begin to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and then the religiousness suddenly becomes miniscule or nonexistent in its power and threats.
I think for me, just contemplating the truth of Ps. 118:6 initiates the process of being free from religiousness. It says:
"The Lord is for me; I will not fear; what can man do to me?"
What CAN man really do to me? Really? When it comes down to it, what can man do? I am so often NOT walking in this reality. Man can't do anything to me! Father give me a revelation all over again of what man cannot do to me. Oh God. More revelation of YOUR love that frees from all fear. The Lord spoke to me either today or yesterday that I can only take the people I minister to as deep into liberty of the Spirit as I AM myself.
