Hi Brother Ben!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

You would probably be surprised at how many people over the years have expressed the same kind of questions you have about this. Jesus wants you to be free in the Spirit.\u00a0 And he will lead you to his liberty.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The problem is a difficult one to deal with because the thing that causes the problem — church religion — is the very thing that God’s people trust the most.\u00a0 If you could find a body of believers who are full of the Spirit and that have rejected the religious system known as Christianity (there are many such saints, I have found), your spirit might be liberated from the shackles that are holding your spirit down.\u00a0 It is most often the weight of religious form and tradition that prevents God’s children from experiencing life in the Spirit as they want to — the way it should be experienced.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Other than that, I can only exhort you to keep your conscience clear so that you know the problem is not one of a guilty conscience. Keeping God’s moral commandments is very important!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

We will be pulling for you as you pursue the knowledge of your heavenly Father.\u00a0 The materials on our other web site, <\/em>www.GoingtoJesus.com<\/span><\/a>, will help you.\u00a0 And if you want edifying music, whenever you are on a computer, go to <\/span><\/a><\/em>www.SongsofRest.com.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

God bless, and stay in touch.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
