You can always identify a religious spirit by how a person responds when they are agitated. Usually, religious spirits pick up some kind of mask that they can hide behind. Some put on masks of "truth," some put on masks of "grace," and others even hide behind "love, tolerance & acceptance." No matter what mask they hide behind, they reveal their true identity the moment their opinion is challenged, or their influence threatened. How do they respond? It's usually done in a quick and methodically destructive manner in which the person with the religious spirit picks up stones of accusation to try to destroy someone else's image or identity. If the person doesn't cave to the accusation, the accuser usually moves on to condemnation. They have no desire to reconcile their differences with whomever they perceive as a threat. They sometimes unintentionally destroy their "agitator" through gossip, judging the heart, and dividing friends. Be careful with people like this, as they tend to carry a track record with them everywhere they go. Love them, be kind, then say goodbye.
Look past whatever mask people are wearing to see their heart. That's what matters the most!
John 8:7-8
But Yeshua bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
