The spirit of religion has no grip on the spirit of freedom given to us by Christ Jesus!

The speaker, Sister Melissa, shares a message from God about the freedom that comes from Jesus. She reads from the Bible and emphasizes that where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. She encourages listeners to have faith in Jesus and to experience the joy and freedom that he offers. She also warns about the spirit of religion that tries to bring division and emphasizes that only Jesus can fulfill the law and bring salvation. She prays for the removal of the spirit of religion and declares the power of Jesus over it. She ends by encouraging listeners to continue seeking Jesus and reminding them that where the spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. Good morning, everyone. Sister Melissa here. I am back with another message from the Lord God Almighty, from the Lord Jesus Christ, from the Holy Spirit. It is a blessed day in the Lord, and I hope and pray you all are having a wonderful day, an amazing day in the Lord Jesus Christ. It is 10 a.m., July 29, 2023, and I still can't believe how fast this month has gone by. Today I am going to be reading from the Word. I'm actually going to be reading a couple of verses from different books in the Bible, because I believe today is the day that you are going to be set free. Today is the day that you are going to encounter the joy of the Lord in your life, because yes, there is joy that comes from the Lord. Even in the midst of our trials, even in the midst of our difficulties, there is freedom. And His name is Jesus. Let's dive into the Word of God, and let's hear and see what God wants to say and do in our lives today. This message comes from the book of 2 Corinthians chapter 3, starting with verse 17. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. I want that to sink in to the core of your spirit. Let it go deep down within the depth of your spirit, that where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. Yes! I want to encourage someone this morning, and as we continue reading, I pray and I hope that God begins to move within your very spirit, and causes you to want to know Jesus more and more every single day, because there is a joy, like I said before, that can only come from Jesus. Jesus is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, you can believe that there is freedom to say hallelujah. There is freedom to dance, to sing, and to be filled with the Spirit of God, who enables us to go out into the world and to preach with boldness the gospel of Jesus Christ. There is freedom in Jesus Christ to see the dead come alive. There is freedom in the name of Jesus to see the lame dance. There is freedom in the name of Jesus to see the blind, hallelujah, receive their sight once again. There is freedom in Jesus' name to see, hallelujah, the deaf hearing. Yes, I know that my God is real, because where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. But I also want to mention something very important, and it is that there is a Spirit that is trying to creep up into the churches. There is a Spirit that is trying to creep up into our homes. There is a Spirit that is trying to bring division amongst God's people, and it's the Spirit of Religion. Jesus Christ came to do away with the Spirit of Religion, because only Jesus was able to fulfill the law. Jesus came over 2,000 years ago. He came to show us the way unto salvation, but also to let us know that there is not one person on this earth that is perfect. There is not one person on this earth that is able to live out the Ten Commandments, because we are all imperfect human beings who need a perfect God to come and restore us back to the Father, and His name is Jesus Christ. And the reason why you and I can come and be fulfilled in God's presence is because Jesus, He is the one who came. Hallelujah! I feel the presence of the Lord right now. He came and He said, I am the one who comes to fulfill the law, and I come also to die on the cross, to be sacrificed, and to be raised on the third day, so that my Spirit, my Spirit can give you life. My Spirit can break the chains of bondage. My Spirit can be the one to break every stronghold, because in my name every spirit, everything that tries to exalt itself above the knowledge of God is destroyed. In my name says the Lord. Hallelujah! Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. There is freedom. I wish that every single one of us could just declare that over our lives. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. I pray that this message encourages you, and now it will enable you to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God is the one calling you. He loves you. He has a perfect plan for your life. He wants you to step in to the freedom that He has given you, and you too can experience God's freedom. I pray that this has blessed you, and I want you to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that when you come to Jesus, He breaks every single chain that has ever been wrapped around you, that the enemy has tried to keep you down with. Jesus comes to make all things new in your life, and He comes, and He says, it's only in my name, when you call upon my name, that I will come, because I am a very present help in times of trouble. And so I want to encourage you, and I want to let you know that God has a plan for your life. You are not forgotten about. God has a plan for your life, and it's only when we place our trust in the Lord that we can begin to see and understand that no matter what we face in this life, as long as we have the freedom of Christ living within us, then everything that is meant to happen, it will happen in the name of Jesus. Many people want to put limits, rules and regulations. Many will come saying that this is what the Lord has said, and the Lord didn't even say that. And because of that, we're living in a generation where people are being tainted into believing something that is not true, because the Word of God tells me that the Lord Jesus Christ is the only one who can judge. The Lord Jesus Christ is the only one who can make all things new. The Lord Jesus Christ is the only one who has the power to transform our lives, to restore our lives, to make new. Everything that was broken, to be restored, to be made new, to become whole again. And so I want to let you know today that God sees you right where you are. You don't have to be perfect, because God knows your heart, and He loves you, and He wants to transform your life. He's the only one who has the authority to do it. The Bible says in Isaiah 45, I will go before you and make the crooked places straight. I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron. I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, the Lord, who call you by your name, am the God of Israel. There is a freedom that God wants you to experience. There is a freedom that God wants you to inherit, and it's only through what Jesus Christ has done on the cross. He came to set the captives free. Jesus is the only one who came over 2,000 years ago to do away with the spirit of religion. The spirit of religion says that if you don't have this standard, you cannot partake. But Jesus says, I died for you to partake of the freedom that I gave my life for you to inherit. Don't let anyone deceive you into thinking that you have to live up to a standard in order for God to receive your praise. You have to do this, this, and that in order for God to accept the fact that you want Him so badly, but you have to work for it. That is a lie from hell. And that spirit of religion is trying to come in and infiltrate everything that Christ died for. But in the name of Jesus, I cast out every spirit of religion right now, and I declare where the spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom, and we are about to see a revival like never before. Because where the spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And I believe that we are going to see a great revival happening soon within this generation. Because God is the one breaking every stronghold. God is the one breaking and pushing back the darkness. God is the one casting out the spirit of religion. And so I take up my authority now, and I declare in the mighty name of Jesus that every single spirit of religion that tries to come into the church is cast out in the mighty name of Jesus. And I declare the blood of Jesus over the youth. I declare the blood of Jesus over every woman and man of God. I declare the blood of Jesus over the body of Christ. In Jesus' mighty name, in Christ I pray. Amen. Oh, I pray this has encouraged you. And I pray that you continue to seek the name of Jesus. Because where the spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. Until the next time, bye-bye for today.
