In this vision, I was taken into a room that appeared to be inside a funeral home. Everyone was dressed in black clothes and packed in this room, standing shoulder to shoulder and facing the same direction. As I peered around, I saw a casket lying dead center at the front of the room. On this casket were written the words \"spirit of religion.\"<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The Lord spoke to me instantly and said He was eradicating the spirit of religion in this hour, causing His people to break free of all ties to the spirit of religion once and for all.&nbsp;<\/strong>For too long religion has taken a supreme seat in the hearts and minds of God's people, and has blinded their eyes and deafened their ears from seeing and hearing the fresh voice (rhema) of His presence. It has caused many to find their comfort in religious deeds and duties as opposed to living out the fulfillment of their purpose, bowing low at the scar-pierced feet of Jesus.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"subtitle\"><strong>A \"Tower of Babel\" Mindset<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"subtitle\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Religion has brought us back to a \"Tower of Babel\" way of thinking, where we have created programs and man-made agendas as a way to \"get to God.\" Those who continued on in religious circles out of habit, obligation or religious duty have often had an inadequate and erroneous understanding of who Abba is.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong> &nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/elijahlist.com\/words\/display_word.html?ID=28796\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more &gt;&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/div>","fulltext":"","state":1,"catid":"8","created":"2023-01-28 11:55:09","created_by":"873","created_by_alias":"","modified":"2023-01-28 12:14:29","modified_by":"873","checked_out":"873","checked_out_time":"2023-01-28 12:13:57","publish_up":"2023-01-28 11:55:09","publish_down":"0000-00-00 00:00:00","images":"{\"image_intro\":\"\",\"float_intro\":\"\",\"image_intro_alt\":\"\",\"image_intro_caption\":\"\",\"image_fulltext\":\"\",\"float_fulltext\":\"\",\"image_fulltext_alt\":\"\",\"image_fulltext_caption\":\"\"}","urls":"{\"urla\":false,\"urlatext\":\"\",\"targeta\":\"\",\"urlb\":false,\"urlbtext\":\"\",\"targetb\":\"\",\"urlc\":false,\"urlctext\":\"\",\"targetc\":\"\"}","attribs":"{\"article_layout\":\"\",\"show_title\":\"\",\"link_titles\":\"\",\"show_tags\":\"\",\"show_intro\":\"\",\"info_block_position\":\"\",\"info_block_show_title\":\"\",\"show_category\":\"\",\"link_category\":\"\",\"show_parent_category\":\"\",\"link_parent_category\":\"\",\"show_associations\":\"\",\"show_author\":\"\",\"link_author\":\"\",\"show_create_date\":\"\",\"show_modify_date\":\"\",\"show_publish_date\":\"\",\"show_item_navigation\":\"\",\"show_icons\":\"\",\"show_print_icon\":\"\",\"show_email_icon\":\"\",\"show_vote\":\"\",\"show_hits\":\"\",\"show_noauth\":\"\",\"urls_position\":\"\",\"alternative_readmore\":\"\",\"article_page_title\":\"\",\"show_publishing_options\":\"\",\"show_article_options\":\"\",\"show_urls_images_backend\":\"\",\"show_urls_images_frontend\":\"\"}","version":2,"ordering":"1","metakey":"","metadesc":"","access":"1","hits":"0","metadata":"{\"robots\":\"\",\"author\":\"\",\"rights\":\"\",\"xreference\":\"\"}","featured":"1","language":"*","xreference":"","note":""}
