Thank you for your ministry! By the power of the Holy Spirit, I have been convicted by this video. Thank you for helping me see where I was walking in self-righteousness and allowing my flesh to lie to me in thinking, "I'm doing everything right" when it's nothing of my work to boast. By Christ Jesus alone.
Thank you.. Amen!
Oh my word, Angela!!! "We just want to be obedient to God, and it's coming from a well-intentioned heart posture, but there's an undercurrent of fear and that fear is masquerading itself as obedience." Mic. Drop. That word was exactly for me. Even your language was the same language the HS was using speaking to me earlier this week about this. My heart is so encouraged and my faith strengthened. Thank you for all you do 💗
Honestly this is such a refreshing take. I worked at a Catholic organization for three years, went to Orthodox liturgy without being Orthodox, and went to evangelical Bible studies. In that town every Christian worked together and looked out for each other. I saw such genuine people in all denominations and I also saw religious spirits in them as well. All not just the high church. I’m sick of the Catholic bashing from the Protestants (as a Protestant) and sick of the Protestant bashing from the Catholics. It’s mostly done from a religious spirit rather than really reaching out from the Holy Spirit. Thank you and God bless your ministry
Amen! What a blessing to hear you! This is the reality of having an intimacy with God through Jesus & Holy Spirit! I have noticed frequently that the ONLY ones Jesus spoke harshly to were the “religious” experts of His time-who did not recognize Jesus as God’s Divine Son despite their “religious” expertise! I love immersing myself in scripture & study, attending our local church, serving others-but it is a byproduct of loving intimacy with Jesus-not a substitute for this!
Peace & grace to you and all who worship the Lord Jesus in Spirit and in truth!
This came with such divine timing.. like no lie. Cannot wait for part 2
I first saw u from Mike podcast. I'm from India. I'm very new to faith and still trying very hard after my 3rd attempt from last year. Let's pray for eachother. Amen ✝️
Thank you for this very important message and the prayer, Angela. God is indeed faithful to give his children good gifts when they ask! Relationship with the Holy Spirit is the only way to produce fruit of the Spirit and understand the mysteries of God's word.
I was stuck in performance based confusion because I was relying on my myself and others to understand the Bible without praying to God about it directly. The result was forced "counterfeit fruit," as you called it in another video.
I recently had a breakthrough with many new revelations, and the word came alive after praying for discernment of the Holy Spirit's voice and for clarity on scripture I couldn't understand. I hope your video reaches many people!
Thank you ,Jesus.❤ I was delivered . God bless the Holy Spirit and you for helping us. I had nightmares too
Thank you so much for this. The teaching and prayer tonight was needed. I am in awe for the Glory of God. I'm so blessed by you and our Father. So powerful. God bless you.
I really liked this, thank you for saying this and pointing out that they are more prisoners of customs and religiosity and they miss the important part of the relationship with God, and following His will in all areas of life.
Religious spirit has “good intentions but rooted in fear” wow 😮 that’s good.
So excited to go to the Soul Shaker event! Thank you Angela for your channel and obedience! ❤
hallelujah!!! See you then!
Amazing episode tonight!! 🫶🏼🤍
Great teaching tonight, it was my first time watching. Came across it as i was about to mindlessly watch video's to distract myself. Glad i stopped to listen, very very powerful.
I just want to thank you for the honesty ❤ I also went through a radical transformation from new age to Christianity about 3 years ago. I still have so much to learn and I know that I need to have deliverance, even though I have gone through much conviction and self deliverance with the Lord. I feel an urging to share but have always been blocked from others hearing my voice. I personally find you very encouraging and really value your knowledge and honesty ❤ thank you for being obedient ❤
For whatever it's worth, I like the way the background is arranged in this video.
This a word Angela!! A lot of people really do think they are saved by Grace and live any kind of way.
Thank You Angela. You been so essential in my walk with the Lord. God bless you beautiful mama.
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL, you are so encouraging! Love your realness
Love your channel! Greetings from the Netherlands!❤
Even though I can’t watch your videos live because of work I always enjoy watching the replay.
I just want to come and say the bangs are bang-ing.
Great teaching! Giiirl it is such a serious topic, but you crack me up. 😂 Great job 👏
Thanks for making this episode 🙌. I definitely can relate to your message.
Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life. thank you for a great teaching. 🙏❤️🔥
Now days the term “religious spirit” (at least from what I’ve seen in my own life) tend to be used too loosely without clarifying what is meant when it’s being used when speaking to people. I shared this with a friend of mine because she leans a bit too much into “everything is because of a spirit being attached” sometimes. I had had a dream from God warning me about her church a couple of years ago and she said it wasn’t from God, that it was from Satan as a way to “scare me out of perusing what God really has for me”, then proceeded to say that she thinks I have a religious spirit (attached to me). I won’t lie and say that that didn’t hurt me at the time.
All that to say, I just think people need to be more careful about what they mean by what they say. Even so, no matter what way it’s meant toward me, the fact is that she was wrong in her judgement. I prayed a lot about my dream and I sat in her church to spectate and learn about what’s going on. After a while, it became clear to me that I need to stay away from there, and quite honestly, so does she in the near future. There are cultish-like behaviors at play there, and I believe this is why God gave me the dream He did. I don’t want my friend to get caught up in it because they don’t practice the spiritual gifts in a biblical way.
Thank you! Watching on replay… from Englewood Florida.
Timely God is good just praying about the this and deliverance
Watching from the Philippines!
I think this is me, I've seen those testimonies from hell and it just frightened me. The possibility of spending eternity in suffering and torment just leaves me feeling fearful and hopeless. It's basically a decision that i cannot make and we are saved by Grace. I have started reading the Bible more but I feel it's more out of fear rather than Love. I want to open my heart and Love but I am so closed off right now. I don't know where to turn except I will continually Pray, even if it is in Vain because that is all I can do. Pray for me brothers and sisters
Perfect love casts out fear
Jesus loves you so, so much!!! He just wants relationship with you. He wants you to know him and desire Him above everything and everyone else!
when you pray, imagine talking to Jesus while He sits with you, and have faith He listens. prayers are so powerful! and He treasures every one.
also, have discernment when you may be exposed to things and you aren't ready to hear them... the Holy Spirit doesn't push you to be exposed to things you aren't ready to hear or see, and the eyes are the doors to the mind. Focus on whatever is good, pure, honorable... what is God's character?
Walked away from New Age 4 months ago. I could honestly feel the religious spirit trying to whisper in my ear. I honestly always had my relationship with the Holy Spirit, God, and Jesus and still did the entire time I was in New Age. ( I walked away from the church. Church is people. People are messy.) The relationship I had with God actually had me condemned in the NA community, too. The Irony in that. However, as I've been healing from religious wounding from this spirit and reconnecting to God's word and my faith, that spirit has been whispering in my ear. I'm fortunate that I haven't let that cut my relationship with God and my hunger to grow closer. Thank you so much for speaking about this because it's a HUGE topic no one wants to talk about, and it impacts so many from even pursuing to want to even get to know him. I literally lit up last night at bible study when the author of Seemless said she prayed we pray to have a supernatural experience with God. Im so glad I'm back at church where I literally heard God say you're home and I finally felt my spirit let out a big ahhhh in relief.
Watching all the way from South Africa 😁🙃
Amazing work sis
Watching from South Africa 🙏🏻
Hey Angela, just want to clarify your comment about SDAs in your first sign of a religious spirit: I joined SDA later in life and there is a difference between salvation (by grace) and sanctification (which is works, see book of James). So our health message and Sabbath-keeping (Saturday) is to restore God's original plan, which is a plant-based diet (there was no death in Eden (death is blood, bc it's written that life is in the blood (Lev. 17:11)), so Adam and Eve's diet must have been plant-based/no meat) and worshipping on the 7th Day (10 commandments). This is for sanctification, not salvation. Sanctification or holiness is up to the individual, we are all sinners and make mistakes and by God's grace we are forgiven, but these are commitments we make when we join the denomination.
Spiritual disciplines are biblical...but not a way to earn favor from GOD!!!!..PERFECTLY PUT!!
Thank you Angela ❤
fear masquerading as obedience! whew! what a word. and the bit about zeal being manipulated into pride!
Watching from Hässleholm Sweden 🙏🩵
Thank you!!!!!!!
I curse the Shadow Banning
I'm watching from baltimore maryland
James 1:27 ESV
Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.
Praying for your conversion to one holy Catholic and apostolic Church ❤
It’s like shame and fear leads to religious spirit - the root is the wound I mean atleast for me
In one year "how I turned to Orthodoxy"
South Carolina!
I can feel you on the part when you're talking about hypocrisy among religious people. Relatives on my dad's side are deeply Catholics and they are so angry at Protestants and Evangelicals for believing that Jesus is the only Way to our salvation. There's so much pride in them and they look down at people just for being different. I can only pray that may God have mercy on them and may their eyes be opened to the truth.
I see them fighting against believers almost every time I see them online, and the protestants give in to the dissension and fight back the same way leaving a bad image.
Amen
Thanks for sharing such valuable information! Could you help me with something unrelated: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (air carpet target dish off jeans toilet sweet piano spoil fruit essay). How can I transfer them to Binance?
Religious spirit is believing you are saved by works adding to what Christ already has done
How do you get released from kundaluni energy and new age residuals of pressure around eyes and bliss energy that creeps in when I am sleeping?
Surrender completely to Jesus Christ ..pray that the Holy Spirit will be the only Spirit over u when u sleep..ill put u on my prayerlist..GOD BLESS!!!
You may also need Deliverance. Prayers ❤
Deliverance is the answer, and it might be process. I’ve been going through deliverance for over a month to get rid of new age “energetic symptoms” (demons).
engagement ❤
Does it take time to be transformed, how do I walk in the Spirit? Seems like I've been waiting too long or getting in the way
I seek diligently and then turn around and sin consciously and frequently, too much idleness as well, seems like all I can do is study, pray, and occasionally speak out.
I know the gospel now and believe, I've read the entire Bible countless times, I've even tried self deliverance, I want to leave sin behind and fully submit to God but it is not happening yet. I still choose sin half of the time, doublemindedness
I’m rather partial to Yahuha and Yahusha. Because that’s their respective names. God and Lord are titles and saying “Jesus” is a Greek derived pagan word. Calling our Savior that is like calling Kunta Kinte by his slave name Toby. Old habits are hard to break. I still slip and call them God and Jesus and feel convicted immediately.
What about a course in miracles
NO. Read the bible.
Course in miracles is new age garbage
Demonic new age garbage
What do you mean by secret Place please?
She was referring to Matthew 6:6, sometimes also translated as our "prayer closet," simply meaning our quiet time spent with the Lord praying, reading the Bible and seeking His face💗
@jessschliebe26 ah thank you 😊

It seems like you went from witchcraft straight into another form of magic under the guise of Jesus. It seems you and the other folks you mentioned in the beginning follow your emotions more than Bible. Just something to pray about. I pray for you and that your voice can be used to lead people into Bible rather than superstitious and magic Jesus.
The Bible talks about tongues in Acts as languages, not unrecognizable babble that can not be translated
Hello :)
Concerning the praying in tongues - you're right! It can be a foreign language that you normally don't speak. However, it can also be something that is not a language but more something unrecognizable. In 1. Corinthians 14, 2 it says: For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries.
It even can happen that someone interprets what someone has spoken in tongues loudly in front of the church! :)
I just wanted to mention this, because I once struggled to understand it as well!
So no, it is not "another form of magic under the guise of Jesus". :) It is a gift of the spirit! Jesus bless you
You are exposing yourself.

Interesting how I can make a two-hour video like this, reference over 20 scriptures, consistently encourage viewers to test everything against the Bible, and emphasize the importance of daily reading God’s Word to know Him intimately, only to be accused of leading people into superstition and magic. I wonder if you watched beyond the first ten minutes.
I’d tread lightly when bearing false witness about me. I never elevate emotionalism or personal experience over the Bible. However, I also don’t deny that emotion and experience are part of biblical reality. God gave us emotions; He Himself experiences emotions. As a relational God, He doesn’t detest us having an emotional response to His love or presence. In fact, He warns against growing cold and calls us to remember our first love (Revelation 2:4-5).
We serve an experiential God. From Genesis to Revelation, His interactions with humanity are not void of awe, emotion, and what some might even call “sensational.” He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). It’s not magic or superstition; it’s His divine nature. Stop giving the devil credit for what is uniquely God’s.
I don’t preach a “magic Jesus.” I preach the Jesus of the Bible. Interestingly, the Pharisees also accused Him of sorcery-fitting, given the context of my video, which addresses the religious spirit.
As for tongues, scripture makes it clear that praying in tongues serves more than one purpose. While Acts 2 demonstrates tongues as earthly languages understood by others, 1 Corinthians 14:2 tells us, “For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit.” Paul later explains in verse 4 that speaking in tongues edifies oneself, building up faith through a heavenly language. Jude 1:20 echoes this, instructing believers to build themselves up in the most holy faith by praying in the Spirit.
I encourage you not to fear the awe and wonder of God. While we live in a physical world, we serve a supernatural God who gave His Spirit to born-again believers. This isn’t superstition-it’s His gift and His presence. If you disagree, I would urge you to seek Him directly in prayer and His Word with an open heart.
@@heavenandhealingpodcasthave mercy, there are many in our family who do not discern the work of the Spirit because they haven't experienced it. I myself was one of those at one point.
