Dealing with Religious Spirits

(Watch in 1.5 to 2x speed) While I prepare to make new content for this channel, I am uploading a selection of videos from my old channel that I think are relevant going forward. I am currently on Sabbatical and am not taking clients at the moment. If you would like to join the waitlist to be notified of counselling updates, click this link - https://www.scottericmorgan.com/contact In this video recorded in 2017 for my other channel, I share my personal perspective on what is often called a religious spirit, based on my own experiences and journey. I talk about how this spirit can hide in wounded hearts, why it thrives in church structures, and how it often targets people who are genuinely seeking truth and transformation in Christ. My hope is to offer discernment, encouragement, and practical wisdom for protecting your heart while remaining compassionate and grounded in Christ.
