You Don’t Have to Prove Yourself | Freedom From Pentecostal Performance – EP141

<p>Have you ever felt like you had to perform for God? Maybe because of what religion has taught you, or how a pastor trained you. Dress holy, worship emotionally, get involved, give, be loyal to one man, repent incessantly? The list is long, but in today’s episode, we help believers to see they can be free from this thinking. God doesn’t need our performance, He wants our hearts. And He wants you to be free from high-control churches who turn the Christian’s life into a stage, for critiquing and judgement. You do not have to keep proving that you are spiritual enough, surrendered enough, or good enough to be loved and kept by God.</p><p><em>Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. - Matthew 6:1 ESV</em></p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Last Week: </strong></p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/5iN-JXnJZMA" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Pastor Loyalty Test | Who Are You Really Following? – EP140</a></p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Playlists:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1aRj7l1t4f9ERikAYlc4GW3U04LgI0uW" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Full Podcast Playlist⁠ - Youtube</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1aRj7l1t4f9mstgSEcS7VDrX2J4PHmzl&amp;utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Holiness Standards</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1aRj7l1t4f-xWOOZI8ygTa2bjHotSzfh&amp;utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Church Building</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1aRj7l1t4f-wcgovpsEwfpV02tWpwXAZ&amp;utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Examining Pentecostalism</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1aRj7l1t4f-AZ-6O6CQ3auiF-jddjuQa&amp;utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The “MOG” (Man of God)</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1aRj7l1t4f_vExBRUMQRIxqgbFexAMQv&amp;utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">All About The Money</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1aRj7l1t4f9EyN7gNkHFxr19loK8MthL&amp;utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Abuse In The Pulpit</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1aRj7l1t4f8j9Oqo1ut5FKw65XnV0RFj&amp;utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Addressing NAYC Comments</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1aRj7l1t4f-ZvNiV12NPd5SbGkXsl2Sp" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">FEAR!!!
