BUT THE [Holy] Spirit distinctly and expressly declares that in latter times some will turn away from the faith, giving attention to deluding and seducing spirits and doctrines that demons teach, through the hypocrisy and pretensions of liars whose consciences are seared (cauterized), who forbid people to marry and [teach them] to abstain from [certain kinds of] foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and have [an increasingly clear] knowledge of the truth.

The information Paul was giving to Timothy in this chapter is so relevant for today. The body of Christ is suffering from teachings that are from the pits of hell. The question is, “How is this happening?” Religion! You see the church has allowed the religious spirit to crawl its way in like a snake and setup shop. With this spirit in control, it begins to pump its messages from hell into leaders, convincing them that it is the bible truth when it’s not. Paul told Timothy that in the last days, doctrines or teachings of demons would be released. What are these teachings? Fear, Infirmity, Doubt, Unbelief, Agendas, Man’s Order, Manipulation, and etc… These teachings have attached itself to the church to rob its destiny. The church is walking in fear because of fear based teaching. The church is walking in doubt and unbelief because of teachings on this mess. Sickness is so prevalent because of the teachings out of Infirmity chapter 1 verse 6. It’s time for every pastor and leader to open their eyes to see that there is a spirit at work trying to squeeze the life out of the people of God. These teachings are nothing more than little snakes being passed out, wrapped up, and disguised with wrapping that has scriptures all over it.

The religious spirit has caused the church to become deaf and dumb. Jesus cast this spirit out plenty of times. In Mark 8:13-21, Jesus rebuked the disciples because of the lack of discernment and I believe also because their doubt. He says to them, “Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.” The disciples thought that Jesus was talking about them having no bread. Jesus said something very powerful. “Why do you reason because you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Is your heart still hardened? Having eyes, do you not see? Having ears, do you not hear?” Jesus was trying to get to understand that I’m not talking about the fact that we don’t have enough bread! Do you remember the miracle of the five loaves? What Jesus was talking about was the corruption of the Pharisees and Herod.

The same thing is happening to the church. Jesus is saying beware of the religious spirit that is on the rise and spreading but we the church, are talking about bread. The church is to busy having conferences and meetings, asking this same question the disciples, “Is it because we forgot to do this, bring that, say this, or say that?” NO! The church has eyes but can’t see and ears but can’t hear. The religious spirit has caused the church to harden their hearts to the point that the words of warning don’t even affect her anymore. Just like the disciples, the church is missing the revelation Jesus is dropping. This is so true! We go around having conferences to sit around one another to confer. Look at verse 16, “And they reasoned among themselves”. That’s all these conferences have resulted in, the church coming together to ask each other question. Not one person in this passage stopped to ask Jesus, “Master, what are you saying to us?” No, instead of asking Jesus what He meant, they tried to figure everything out on their own. Sounds like pride.

This is what’s happening in the pulpits across America. Instead of us stepping out in faith to see and hear something we’ve never seen or heard before, we allowed that python called religion to seduce and lie to us that we got the answers. The sad thing about that leaders, is that the people, the sheep of His pasture is paying for it. They are suffering from the teachings of demons they are receiving from you by way of the python (religious spirit).

I speaking to leaders so much because the bible says that judgment shall begin at the house of God (1Peter 4:17). We have even allowed the python to twist this scripture to bring fear upon the sheep. However, by the authority I have in Jesus name, let me tell you that this judgment is not going to start with the sheep! NO! This judgment will start with the leaders because God has given the leaders the simply responsibility to just follow Him. If we do that in everything, the people, the sheep of His pasture will follow. It’s just like when our parents told us to look after our baby sister or brother until they return. If something gets broken and you were not there to stop it, the first question is not address to the younger one. That question is coming to you because you were left in charge. This what is happening to the church right now. God is see a lot of mess going on and He is saying where are my leaders? Where are the ones I left in charge? Why are my leaders not listening to me? What is that meal (teaching) my leaders are serving? Who in Hell did they get that from? Wait a minute! I know you are thinking to yourself, God couldn’t be saying who in Hell right? That’s a curse word right? Wrong! God is asking this question, WHO IN HELL DID THEY GET THAT FROM? It is not that God doesn’t know where it came from, He wants you to be honest and expose that demon. Remember, hell is a place that was prepared for the devil and the angels he convinced to reject God (Isaiah 14: 12-21, Revelation 12:9, Jude 1:6, and 2 Peter 2:4) and also Paul said that these teachings were from demons. Religion is also a microphone with speakers that gives fear, doubt, unbelief, infirmity, worry, depression, hatred, anger, and unforgiveness a voice. It wants the church to pay attention to what it is saying. Why is religion attaching itself to leaders? Leaders have influence. If it can get to the leaders, then it can get to the sheep. If it gets to the sheep, the whole church is destroyed.

Religion has the same agenda as its master the devil. To kill, steal, and to destroy (John 10:10). So in my closing, the revelation I have received from the Lord I now give to you. Since we now understand from scripture that the devils’ address now, is, and forever shall be hell and that his little demons are his roommates, I release this command from heaven now! Get up and tell the devil, GO TO HELL!

Doubt, GO TO HELL!!!!!!!!

Fear, GO TO HELL!!!!!!!!

Depression, GO TO HELL!!!!!!!!

Divorce, GO TO HELL!!!!!!!!

Anger, GO TO HELL!!!!!!!!

As you begin to name these things that have been tormenting your church, family, and friends, the Lord says that deliverance shall come!

1. the name is transferred to false teachers, who do not care to instruct men, but abuse their confidence for their own gain , pilferer

God says that there are those in the house of the Lord who are influenced by this spirit. Using their mouths to deliberately sow seeds that turn into weeds. You may say well, how are they killing and destroying. God says that they are trying kill and destroy your reputation. The bible says in Matt 13:27, the farmer servants said to him that the place where you sowed is full of weeds. This verse in the New American Standard bible says “The slaves of the landowner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ 
  In other words, they questioned what he was sowing (preaching/teaching), his ability to know the difference between good and bad seed, and  ultimately his ability to sow period. This spirit planted seeds of  false accusation (opinion or decision given concerning anything, a charge) and discord (strife, contention) . In this season of auditing, there is also vindication that comes from the Lord:Isaiah 54:17- But in that coming day, no weapon turned against you will succeed. And everyone who tells lies in court will be brought to justice. These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the LORD; their vindication will come from me. I, the LORD, have spoken!
 
The bible says in Matt 13: 28-30, the servants ask should the weeds be pulled up but the farmer said, not until the harvest.Harvest in the greek – harvest, the act of reaping a.       fig. of the gathering of men into the kingdom of God b.      referring to time of reaping, the final judgment, when the righteous are gathered into the kingdom of God and the wicked are cast into hell for ever Judgement is apart of the time of harvest.God is going to expose and judge this spirit in this season.I pray that every Pastor and Leader, who has encountered this spirit in the past months and even years, be healed now in Jesus Name. Receive now the vindication that comes from the Lord, Amen.
