The flesh will do anything religious to avoid standing in God’s presence

The flesh will do anything religious to avoid standing in God’s presence, listening to His voice, and yielding in obedience to His Spirit so He can say His words and do His acts through us. It will put the Bible in God’s place and make us think we can understand it on our own. It will direct us into a certain formula. It will tell us to avoid all sorts of things, some of which are good to avoid. It will show us 6 good points to follow rather than walking in the Spirit. It will take a true prophecy and turn it into a law or principle. Be aware that the thing it doesn’t want is your personal, moment-by-moment relationship with Christ. It doesn’t want God leading and you following because that is a walk from glory to glory that destroys that rebellious fleshly nature and completes the work of forming Christ in you.
