The spirit of Religion makes Perverse Use of the Law to seek Blessings for oneself and to Curse others
People are talking about all kinds of evil spirits that are working in Church today. The two spirits which everyone loves to talk about are the spirits of jezebel and the spirit of witchcraft. Yet, they almost never talk about the spirit of mammon, which is the only spirit that Jesus actually mentioned, and the spirit of religion, which was the spirit that accused Jesus of blasphemy and murdered Him. This is itself a manifestation of the spirit of religion which does nothing but accuses not simply the innocent, but the righteous, of being wicked.
And those who had laid hold of Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled. But Peter followed Him at a distance to the high priest’s courtyard. And he went in and sat with the servants to see the end.
Now the chief priests, the elders, and all the council sought false testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forward and said, “This fellow said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and to build it in three days.’ ”
And the high priest arose and said to Him, “Do You answer nothing? What is it these men testify against You?” But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him, “I put You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!”
Jesus said to him, “It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
Then the high priest tore his clothes, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! What further need do we have of witnesses? Look, now you have heard His blasphemy! What do you think?”
They answered and said, “He is deserving of death.”
Then they spat in His face and beat Him; and others struck Him with the palms of their hands, saying, “Prophesy to us, Christ! Who is the one who struck You?”
(Matthew 26:57-68)
A person is often accused by people of being a 'pharisee' nowadays for allegedly setting standards of holiness that are 'too high' and defining a level of holiness that is 'unable to be defined'. They make this accusation on the basis that the 'rules' being supposedly imposed are impossible to define, in implying that holiness is determined by how closely one adheres to the rules of God. What they are really saying is that a person is a 'pharisee' because they affirm true righteousness, a righteousness that they cannot even begin to understand owing to their own vile, wicked carnality, which despises every single bit of their carnality, even to the slightest.
The irony of such people is that they are the real 'pharisees' in the literal true sense, in thinking that they are righteous, while being utterly unrighteous. Such is the spirit of religion operating in them. The unrighteousness of such a person knows no bounds. The real pharisees, both of then and now, are nothing but demons with an utterly false appearance of righteousness. They are vile, evil, and full of all manner of wickedness.
They love the Law of God, not because they truly love God, but because want to use it to affirm the own self-righteousness. Not only that, they view the Law of God in terms of how they can use it to justify their own carnality. They use it find all kinds of loopholes to justify their vile carnality, such as marrying just to have sex, charging usury in a 'reasonable way', refusing debt forgiveness, and even justifying marital rape. Their seemingly righteous affirmations of the Law of God and His righteousness is full of double-mindededness.
They love the Law of God when it benefits them, such as when it prohibits others from theft and adultery, because they do not want people stealing their things or their spouses, but despise it when it makes a demand on them that opposes their carnality, such as when it demands that they forgive others unconditionally as many times as necessary, deny themselves utterly for Christ, love others despite how others have done wrong to them, or to love those who they hate.
The Law is what gives religious people their power to manipulate others spiritually, and in all kinds of other ways that flow from this spiritual manipulation. For the Law has a certain power to it, in enabling people to accuse people on the basis of what the Law commands, prohibits or permits. Indeed, the Law accuses. It condemns (Galatians 3:10:14; 2 Corinthians 3:6).
Religious people are always seeking to widen what it permits for themselves to justify their carnality under the Law, minimise the commands and prohibitions that apply to them in trying to make their application as narrow as possible, and broaden the prohibitions for other people, especially where they see the contravention of the prohibitions on part of others as a threat to them.
For example, religious people love to use how the Scripture does not explicitly prohibit usury in the New Testament to argue that it is justified, and use Deuteronomy 23:20 to claim that usury is lawful. This is exactly the game that they play in twisting Scripture to justify their love of money, and more perversely, their theft of other people's money. They also dogmatically insist that Scripture does not prescribe the way marital conjugal relations should be engaged it, to argue that sexually perverted acts are justified, as long as done within marriage. Some of them even use 1 Corinthians 7:1-6 to justify marital rape in their utter perversity.
These are all attempts to render the the commands and prohibitions of the Law of God as narrow as possible to permit a false liberty for themselves, especially their carnality. Religious people are full of the love of mammon, because they are carnal. Unlike the average unbeliever, they use Scripture, and more specifically, the Law which they love to use for their own advantage to gain the blessing they want, and to curse others by means positively seeking to bring curses into their lives, or denying them blessings.
They love to use the Law in particular to seek their own blessings because of how the Law lends itself to the carnal use of power, which explains why they love to refer to the Old Testament blessings which only applied to under the Old Covenant, not the New Covenant which has superseded the Old Covenant (Hebrews 8:13). This is exactly what the demonic 'Abrahamic theology' is based on. It purports all the so-called material blessings one has is a reward for one's obedience to God, and where one has no or less of so-called blessings, it is an indication that one is less blessed or even cursed by God.
Yet, even under the Old Covenant, these so-called blessings were not necessarily given to people who were holy, and therefore pleased the Lord. Such people were by no means less blessed. The suffering of the prophets and that of Job indicates that even under the Old Covenant, it is not true that having less material things is a sign of being less blessed at all. This idea has never been true at all, be it during the Old Testament or New Testament Era.
Likewise, they love to use the law to curse others, by speaking curses into the lives of others, by accusing them of evil, or mocking, scorning, intimidating, humiliating or belittling them for not living a life that follows their rules, by which they speak satanic prophecies into their life, especially their futures. Twisting Scriptures to appease the wickedness of their hearts in rejoicing in the difficulties, struggles or suffering of others by espousing all kinds of false doctrines that are full of spiritual error is their specialty. Such spiritual errors cause pain in others, or hinder the legitimate liberty in Christ of others.
For example, religious people also love to use the prohibition on fornication (1 Corinthians 6:9-10) to impose the rule on singles that they should marry as soon as they have any sexual urges, even if it is minimal, to deny singles the blessing of marrying the right God-given person at the right time and place. This is done to make them feel inferior as it makes them feel validated and superior, out of their sheer pride, arrogance and aggressive love of self. By doing so, they curse them by denying them such a blessing, and by mocking them, they speak satanic prophecies against them.
The spirit of religion is utterly perverted. Do not be deceived by its righteous guise! There is absolutely nothing good in it. It is a spirit that is no content with simply holding people in all kinds of bondage of the most painful kind, but it actively seeks to curse others by means of both positively cursing them and denying them blessings that God wants to give to them, all while seeking blessings for oneself. It does this all by using the Law to justify oneself and condemn others.
Indeed, the Law of God is not only weaponised by them, but it is itself a weapon. But it is a weapon that condemns themselves. For by the unlawful use of the Law, they condemn themselves.
But sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all manner of evil desire. For apart from the law sin was dead. I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died. And the commandment, which was to bring life, I found to bring death. For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed me. Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good.
