The Spirit told me to leave a church building where God does not reside.

And because people love Scripture, let’s start there.

Scripture says God does not dwell in temples made with human hands.
Scripture says we are the temple.
Scripture says the Kingdom of God is within you.
Scripture says we are separated from God only in our minds.

Yet week after week, I sat in a building where the main topic was Satan.

They would say, “Satan has no power,”
and then immediately pray ten-minute prayers rebuking him, binding him, engaging in spiritual warfare against something they claimed was already defeated.

That contradiction alone revealed something was deeply wrong.

The Spirit did not lead me into warfare.
The Spirit led me back into the secret place.

I would go into my closet for hours.
Not performing.
Not rebuking.
Not repeating phrases.

Listening.

And there, the Spirit taught me to remove the leaven.

Not external leaven.
Internal leaven.

Beliefs.
Contradictions.
Inherited distortions I had never questioned.

It was like a house of cards.
Once one lie fell, more followed.
As the leaven was removed, clarity came.

Jesus did not teach people to live in fear of an external enemy.
He taught people how to become whole.

Religion taught me “holy” meant separated.
The Spirit taught me “holy” means whole.

I began to see how divided we’ve been living.
Double-minded.
Believing opposing ideas could both be true.

Love and torture.
Grace and fear.
Peace and constant warfare.

Those frequencies do not match.
Energy does not lie.

When you understand the physical eye sees less than one percent of the light spectrum, you realize something sobering:
most of us were walking blind while calling ourselves saved.

I lived that way for years.
Repeating doctrine.
Living by the letter.
Calling it faith.

I watched my mother take her life when I was sixteen.
She lived by the letter too.
I’ve seen others crushed under the weight of beliefs that promised life but delivered despair.

The truth sets free.
Distortion binds.

I knew when I began speaking that I would be called a heretic.
Not because I was attacking Jesus,
but because I was challenging systems built on fear, separation, and control.

I stayed silent for a long time.
I was afraid.

I lost my house.
I lost my family.
I lost almost everything.

But once those things were gone, the fear went with them.

What else could be taken?
My life?

I had already laid it down.

There is no eternal life later.
There is only eternal life now.

The Spirit exists only in the present moment.

Scripture says we have been given the ministry of reconciliation,
yet most of what I hear today is the ministry of condemnation.

We say love fulfills the law,
yet we still live from tablets instead of the heart.

We say heaven is the goal,
yet Jesus said the Kingdom is within.

How can you bring heaven to earth
if you are waiting to die to access it?

How can you integrate heaven and earth
if you refuse purification,
call it the devil,
and avoid the inner work?

If you never go within,
if you never commune with the Source yourself,
you will keep mistaking doctrine for truth.

If you deny the true self,
you deny the true God.

And when people worship a distorted image of God, they reproduce distortion in the world.

As a man thinks, so is he.

That is why so much violence, fear, and division has flowed from religion.
Jesus was non-violent.
He used truth as His sword.

Truth cuts.
And people hate it,
because it exposes what has been hidden.

Those who live only in the intellect
have never learned to live from the heart.

And they wonder why they have no peace.

You do not hate life.
You hate distortion.
You hate the false self that does not exist.

And here is the paradox most people miss:
you cannot heal by hating yourself.

You may reject the false self,
but you must love yourself in wholeness.

That is where religion goes wrong.
It begins with anger.
With rebuking.
With fighting.

But when your body is eighty to ninety percent water, and water takes on vibration, your words matter.

Your tone matters.
Your emotions matter.

You are shaping the reality of your environment
by what you speak,
by what you believe,
and by the frequency you live from.

If you speak from anger,
you reinforce division.
If you speak from love,
you restore coherence.

Lay down the false self.
Love the true self.
And you will discover life abundantly.

Love fulfills the law.
The fruit of the Spirit does not include fear.
The Gospel was never about escape.
It was about awakening.

If you do not flip from living outside-in
to living inside-out,
you will remain blind,
even while calling yourself saved.

Wholeness does not war with itself. 
Love heals what fear tried to control. 
Truth restores what distortion divided. 
And the Kingdom begins the moment you remember who you are.
