The Pharisees put heavy burdens of legalism on people. Some today put heavy conditions on people, or lists of requirements that they must fulfil to be Christians, or the many prayers, fastings and offerings that they must give to be free from the enemy. God hates His people being abused like this, by false pastors.
For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. (Matt 23:4).
This is the wrong use of the law. This is the unlawful use of the law. If we put superstitions upon God’s people, seeing a false “vision” and saying that they are going to die unless they pray or fast or give money, then we are an enemy of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
