If I strive to live in Holiness, separating myself from the world, keeping the Lord's Day Holy, there are some who would say I am legalistic. They would accuse me of a works salvation. But yet, these same religious people create their own church programs such as growth groups, 12 steps to to this or that, 7 steps to finding happiness in God, 4 steps to prosperity, and etc etc etc.

Now, be wise brethren, who are the real ones with the man made works for salvation, freedom and deliverance? If I tell you to walk in Holiness, walk in His Commandments, separate yourself from the world, and keep His day Holy, are these my ideas or something I have conjured up?

2 Peter 2:19(AMP)19 They promise them liberty, when they themselves are the slaves of depravity and defilement--for by whatever anyone is made inferior or worse or is overcome, to that [person or thing] he is enslaved.

2 Corinthians 3:17(AMP) Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (emancipation from bondage, freedom).

If the Lord is Spirit then we must address our issues spiritually. If I say let us pray and cast the demons out, why do they not want to know more about it? But instead they defend their man made programs. Moreover, the other main problem is that many Christians are deceived as they are taught that demons can not be in them. Therefore their only solution as they perceive to be right is man made.

My Freedom comes from walking and Obeying in God's commandments. It comes from having a prayer life. It does not come from trusting ourselves or depending on ourselves to make it to these classes or programs that promise freedom.

Does self gratifying, self improving, self help, self feel better, self leadership, self self self classes or programs bring the Kingdom of God upon us? What brings the KINGDOM OF GOD upon us?

Luke 11:20 "But if I drive out the demons by the finger of God, then the Kingdom of God has already come upon you."

Luke 10:9" And heal the sick in it and say to them, The Kingdom of God has come close to you.

Your self improvement will come when you get the focus off yourself and onto HIM. Get out of yourself and LET HIM INCREASE AND YOU DECREASE. Serve and surrender to HIM FULLY. Worship Him in the beauty of His Holiness. Your liberty will come when you decide to be consumed by Him and not of your needs. And the beauty of this is that He will then provide of your needs.

Matthew 6:33(AMP)But seek ([a]aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness ([b]His way of doing and being right), and then all these things [c]taken together will be given you besides.
