1 Now there was a long war between the house of Saul and the house of David. But David grew stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul grew weaker and weaker. (2 Samuel 3:1)

Saul self righteous.
David spirit of repentance.

There is a war happening during these times between the religious house & the house of repentance.

It’s one to be in church & another to be the church.

We must have living service over lip service.

The Pharisee's saw Jesus but didn't acknowledge Him as God.

There are people who talk about Jesus but can't discern the Holy Spirit

Here are 7 signs

#1 Holy on the outside, but hypocrite on the inside

 (Matthew 15:1-11)

This is the difference between condemnation and conviction.

Condemnation: You’re a mistake.
Conviction: You made a mistake.

#2 Blind spiritually

14 Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch. (Matthew 15:14)

18 Immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he received his sight at once; and he arose and was baptized. (Acts 9:18)

It was the physical eyes that Apostle Paul got blinded with… but really His spiritual eyes opened once the scales fell off & knew Jesus was Lord.

Spiritually people are blind & it is the Lord that encounters those that have a pure heart to see & hear in the spirit.

#3 Hardened heart… NOT humble heart

(Matthew 15:15-20)

#4 Hates a radical move of the Holy Spirit… accusation

(Mark 3:1-6)

If some of us aren’t excited about the word of God… we might be under a religious spirit NOT the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit wants healing, deliverance, & freedom among people.

Anything that hinders a move of God & His will is always AGAINST God!

#5 Judgement of  unrighteous by always blaming others…

 (Matthew 7:1-5)

We are called to judge with a RIGHTEOUS judgement.

24 Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.” (John 7:24)

#6 Self-righteous over Holy Spirit revival

A true spirit of repentance activates a spirit of revival.

We want righteousness over being right.

(Luke 18:9-14)

#7 Lots of words, but very little weight in the spiritual realm…

More words of their own opinion, twisting scripture… rather than real revelation of the word of God.

15 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves. (Matthew 23:15)

1 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. (1 Peter 5:8)
