Some people get so religiously wrapped up in themselves; that they are no earthly good to others, or spiritually good for God. The only thing we need as believers are our salvation and faith; all the religious mumbo jumbo, is manmade. We need a Christ-like character: love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control; these are the qualities that determine who Christ is in us, being religious means nothing if you do not have the Fruit of the Spirit, faith, and obedience to what we have learned.
James 1:26-27 If anyone considers themselves religious and yet does not bridle their tongue, they deceive their heart and their religion is worthless. Pure and undefiled believers before our God and Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
Father, let us be believers and doers of the Word; not just religious fanatics, that do not develop Fruit. Lord, fill us with Your wisdom and knowledge and the desire for Your Word; so we may become the people You created us to be, fishers of man. Father, let the Holy Spirit guide us to Your path; and help us be submissive to Your Word, as we become more like Christ. Lord, remove all generational curses from us, and every demonic spirit that has overtaken us. Lord, remove every obstacle that keeps us from sitting at Your feet; and the things that hinder our blessings, from You. Father, strengthen our faith and help us with our unbeliefs; give us Your love for all people so we may live together in peace. In Jesus name Amen
