God has been challenging me over the last few weeks, and I want to share this "challenge" with other leaders in the house of God. First, let me thank God for my spritual mother and Apostle, because she believes in the FREEDOM that God is bringing forth in this season. I don't speak very much about Apostle Glendora Winston, but that's not because she doesn't deserve it! This woman of God has taught me more than she'll ever know, and she's been an inspiration in my life due to her RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. Of course, she has the accomplishments and the grace, but most importantly, I know she has a heart for the Father and she genuinely cares for God's people!
With that said, I have felt a freedom over the last few months that I have not had in years. It's as if God is purging me from so many things that He never required. Now, I certainly thank God for the experiences, because they helped to shape and mold me into who I am today. The Father has used many in my past to teach me in many different ways, so I don't take that for granted. However, this is a new season! Hallelujah!
Now, while the method may be different, the message is the same. God has challenged me to think and pray about everything I do in ministry. Why do I do it that way? Where did I learn that from? How does this please the Father? How much is religion? Tradition? Relationship?
Now, let me say this: Not all tradition is wrong. Not all religion is wrong. The point is this - some of us are in BONDAGE to things that God never required of us. This is the season to GET FREE! I invite and challenge each of us to fast and pray as we approach this new year. I wish I could wrap this excitement I have and send it to all of you, but it is so much better coming directly from the Father!
In fasting and praying, let's seek God for HIS WILL in our lives. Let's ask Him to help us examine ourselves and be purged for a new era. There are so many souls who desire to know God, but they've been hurt or deterred because of bondage caused by man, covered with religion and disguised as prophecy. There is blood on the hands of the church, and we are called to repent and restore in the months to come.
Be encouraged! God desires for His people to be FREE! Get ready to soar and receive again the JOY OF THE LORD! Hallelujah!

You have stated this so well. It is a truth that the church will have to repent in order for restoration to come.
