Overcoming the Religious Spirit ebook - MorningStar Ministries

first by how much we trust God’s Word and
then by how much our word can be trusted. If
we really believe God’s Word, we will become
like Him, and our words will also be true.
We must address these serious issues
because we are coming to the most serious
of times. There is a good fear; it is the fear
of God. The lack of this pure and holy fear
of God is possibly the main reason for the
folly and delusion that the church has been
trapped in for so long. There has never
been a more serious business than our
relationship with God. The judgment that
will ultimately come upon the whole world
is basically the result of the world treating
Him so frivolously. Can we, who should know
better than anyone, do that and expect to get
away with it?
The God who loved us so much that
He gave His only Son is not so harsh as to
condemn us for petty mistakes. He knows the
difficulties and pressures that we are subject
to in this world. Although He knows that we
will all stumble at times, the Scriptures are
clear that presuming upon His grace and
holding back when we have committed to
give all will ultimately result in tragedy. It is
not enough to know His Word; we must also
keep it.
