There are many times when God starts moving and stirring stuff up that people in the church will start clinging to the traditions of "we've all done it this way it must be right way". Fear of change opens the door for a religious spirit to come in that will try and block the change the God is provoking. When we stand on the law that denies the moving of faith in what Abba is doing we deny the grace provided to us through Jesus. Abba is up to something, He is causing a stirring that is provoking some much needed change not only in our country but more specifically in His churches. You will be able to recognize those who belong to Him because they are faithfully following Him, doing what they see Him doing, going where they see Him going and saying what they hear Him saying. They are leaving the walls of religion behind and are no longer held back by the traditions of man. Ultimately they will be recognized because they are spreading His love and His kingdom is expanded wherever they go!
Galatians 5:4-6-If you seek to be justified and declared righteous and to be given a right standing with God through the Law, you are brought to nothing and so separated (severed) from Christ. You have fallen away from grace (from God’s gracious favor and unmerited blessing). For we, [not relying on the Law but] through the [Holy] Spirit’s [help], by faith anticipate and wait for the blessing and good for which our righteousness and right standing with God [our conformity to His will in purpose, thought, and action, causes us] to hope. For [if we are] in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love.
Thank you for this! I really needed to hear this. It was such a timely, perfect and loving confirmation.
