We have all heard the term religious spirit. We typically think of someone who is critical, judgmental, sanctimonious, and possibly controlling. Nobody wants to be that person and, frankly, nobody wants to be around that person. Sometimes, people make the mistake that any talk of consecration, sanctification, obedience, and holiness is nothing more than the communication of a person with a religious spirit. They could not be farther from the truth. God is calling His people to a devotion-fueled consecration the closer we get to the return of Jesus.
In this episode of Mavericks & Misfits, Jeff reminds us that revival cannot come to a compromised Christian. Churches that are casual about holiness and sanctification will remain lukewarm and eventually grow cold in their love toward Jesus. God is raising up a generation of sons and daughters who hate legalism while loving holiness. This episode helps us all to determine the difference between these two things, and to go after sanctification with a heart of joy.
