Religion
The enemy of God
As I expressed in my video it is essential for those who know God to realize most of the world is dangerously caught up in man made religion. Man made religion is more dangerous to genuine faith and our spiritual well being than any other force in the universe. First and foremost religion is deception on steroids. Hear how the Bible describes the religious: For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, inhuman, implacable, slanderers, profligates, fierce, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding the form of religion but denying the power of it. Avoid such people. (2 Timothy 3:2–5)
Can you imagine? The hideous traits listed in this scripture are the characteristics of religious people! That is because religion is a deceptive empty form of real faith and masquerades as such! No wonder religion is the enemy of God! In order to effectively reach the lost we must expose religion for what it is: Man’s attempt to make God in his own image!
When contributing to the Gates of Zion you enable us to go everywhere and anywhere to inspire, equip and release the servants of the Most High into the end time harvest of souls. I am more determined than ever to equip the Body of Messiah to destroy strongholds over the minds of unbelievers as they seek, save and disciple those who are lost.
...for the weapons of our warfare are not worldly but have divine power to destroy strongholds. (2 Corinthians 10:4)
My goal is to equip the saints to be super effective in breaking down the strongholds and destroying the arguments that keep those trapped in the world system from eternal life in Messiah. We destroy arguments and every proud obstacle to the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Messiah, ((2 Corinthians 10:5)
It is important that the finances required to accomplish this is never a challenge. And it never is when we all work side by side for the faith of the gospel. If your gifting is to give into the Lord’s work, join me in hastening the day of the Lord!
Your parter and servant in Messiah,
