Discerning a Religious Spirit and Religious Abuse w/ Brienne Trauter

// Episode 34 // 

Double 1 7 ( Overcoming Victory ) AND

DR Stephen E Jones writes this..."The number thirty-four in Hebrew was written with the letters lamed (authority) and daleth (a door). It has to do with the authority to walk through the door or to enter a house. One may lawfully enter after one has identified himself. 

"SO I THINK THAT 34 IS THE NUMBER THAT INDICATES THE IMPORTANCE OF GETTING TRUE IDENTITY. "- Troy Brewer

In episode 34 Brienne and Margaux share their own language and personal experience in attempt to help shed light on a "religious spirit "and "religious abuse". Religious abuse is when religious authority is used to manipulate or control others, through the twisting of scripture or misuse of office and influence. Religious abuse is far too common and can even be found in our own internal belief systems and structures created from our experiences or inherited from our ancestors. Its important we learn to identify when we are being accused or controlled but a religious spirit, shame or religious abuse ( which includes both ) so we can discern and reject in order to rightly know our amazing savior! . 

We are all on the journey of more freedom and learning to see God more clearly and truly. There is no judgement or condemnation for you as you identify areas you've been led astray. Our only intention is to name some spiritual dynamics to help you find language for something you may be experiencing and take it to God for further guidance and deliverance.

Scriptural references in the episode:

“Truly, truly I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in another way, the man is a thief and a robber…” John 10:1-

“A house divided against itself cannot stand…” Mark 3:24-26

“His kindness leads us to repentance..” Romans 2:4

“Admonish one another” Romans 15:14

“Come to me all who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28

I want to release freedom to question and discern. To know his voice for yourself. Even if a leader in your life tells you something that doesn’t feel right or makes you feel you can’t discern God for yourself, you’re not dishonoring them by taking it to God asking Him for discernment. Its you right to discern and weigh in.
