As always, these are meant to get you started and just prime the pump. Confess and repent with freedom (and gusto!) and don't be limited by these questions.
When are you tempted to compare your spiritual life (Bible knowledge, time spent in prayer or study, good works) to others?
When’s the last time you made a significant, spiritual decision based on input you received from others?
When’s the last time you were corrected and it went well?
Have you ever felt controlled or used by a religious organization?
Have you ever confused your relationship with God with your relationship with an institution?
Can you remember a time when you did something, nobody noticed, and it was a problem for you?
Does emotionalism gross you out? OR Do you think it’s not God unless there’s emotion thrown in there?
How do you react to new movements of God? What about immaturity you see in the Body? Does that offend you?
Have you ever felt that if you didn’t attend meetings on Sunday morning that God was disappointed in you?

Here is an idea to consider:
ReplyDeleteThe spirit of Jezebel and the sprit of religion attempt to make a person hearing from God seem "crazy" or "goofy" or "not right."
Consider what the LORD asked Jeremiah to do.
Consider the devastation (possbily depression) Elijah experienced after the victory against the prophets of Baal.
Consider all the times you (as a man of God) may say or do something, and the response from family and friends you receive is,
"That's crazy"
or
"You're crazy"
I don't receive that. The LORD has given me a sound mind. His Spirit is within me. May it guide me moment by moment. Amen.
nice shoe, nice. totally agree here.
ReplyDeleteThat is good, Shoe. Also, don't ever confess craziness over yourself. It's anti-God. You're not nuts!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
