What we do need to understand is how the Bible puts up boundaries as to what is dangerous and what's not.

That's what's important.

Pharisees would set up these lines that people couldn't go past.

And what it did is it cut them short of being able to really have an experience a relationship with God.

That is bad.

That is wrong.

That is not good.

Those are horrible teachers.

And I would say that they're Pharisees, ultimately.

They are telling you all of this outline, and it meets us in our human nature. We just want a list. Just give me a list of what I need to do. Tell me how much I need to tithe. Tell me how much I need to serve. And then we expect God to bless our lives. And we're mad when he does it. Because we feel like he owes us, because I did all the checklist and stuff. It has nothing to do with that. it's a relationship. You know, it's us walking with God.

And if we know what the relationship, all the checklist and stuff. It has nothing to do with that. It's a relationship. You know,

it's us walking with God. And if we know what the relationship is and what the dangers are,

then we know what's safe and what's not. We're like, whoa, okay, this I can do. But this over here,

this is where the boundary stops right here, where I'm not going to go any further.

We're not meant to be robots. We're meant to be warriors for the kingdom of God and knowing who he is.

The area that we live in, there is witchcraft that's very prevalent.

And sometimes I have people that call me and they're like in these anxious states, you know, be praying for me

because all these witches they're around me and they're, you know, I'm in a situation where it's

like I know that they're putting curses on me. I'm like, if you are embracing Christ, you've got

nothing to worry about. They are fearing you. You don't need to fear them. Now, if you have many open doors in your life, you're not

walking with God, then you are making yourself out, you know, vulnerable to them. And I would even

say that God can use that to actually help you to have an incentive to close those doors up
