“You need to sell out completely. Come away from all the distractions that hinder Our relationship. Step away from those who choose not to come closer to Me. They will slow you down and confuse you with their religious talk. In the near future, you will need to have clear direction. You will need to know exactly which steps to take. You will need to be spiritually alive to My direction. That is a learning process. Start now!  Learn to hear My voice over the din of other voices that are dead ends. You will die where they take you.”

Psalm 25:14 NIV

The Lord confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them.

Isaiah 55:8-9 NIV

8) “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.

9) As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

Amos 5:4b AMP

…Seek Me [inquire for and of Me and require Me as you require food] and you shall live!

Breaking free from the religious spirit is one of the biggest challenges that remnant believers face. I recently talked to a teacher of many people who would rather hang on to his arguable religious dogma than allow those under him to be brought to a deeper walk with the Lord by challenging them to sell out and seek the Lord’s truth for themselves. This man is to be pitied. He is in a fearsome position and will one day have to answer for his actions face to face with Jesus.

Teach me in Your presence, Lord,
