 Truth....Freedom....Holy Spirit Power

Galatians 5

Galatians 

So Christ has really set us free.  Now make sure that you stay free, and don't get tied up again in slavery to the law. 

Listen!  I, Paul, tell you this:  If you are counting on circumcision to make you right with "God, then Christ cannot help you.  I'll say it again.  If you are trying to find favor with God by being circumcised, you must obey all of the regulations in the whole law of Moses.  For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law [of Moses], you have been cut off from Christ!  You have fallen away from God's grace.

But we who live by the spirit eagerly wait to receive everything promised to us who are right with God through faith.  For when we place our faith in Christ Jesus, it makes no difference to God whether we are circumcised or not circumcised.  What is important is faith expressing itself in love.

You were getting along so well.  Who has interfered with you to hold you back from following the truth?  It certainly isn't God, for he is the one who called you to freedom.  But it takes only one wrong person among you to infect all the others - a little yeast spreads quickly through the whole batch of dough!  I am trusting the Lord to bring you back to believing as I do about these things.  God will judge that person, whoever it is, who has been troubling and confusing you.

Dear brothers and sisters, if I were still preaching that you must be circumcised - as some say I do - why would the Jews persecute me?  The fact that I am still being persecuted proves that I am still preaching salvation through the cross of Christ alone. I only wish that those troublemakers who want to mutilate you by circumcision would mutilate themselves.

For you have been called to live in freedom - not freedom to satisfy your sinful nature, but freedom to serve one another in love. For the whole law can be summed up in this one command:  "Love your neighbor as yourself."  But if instead of showing love among yourselves you are always biting and devouring one another, watch out!  Beware of destroying one another.  

So I advise you to live according to your new life in the Holy Spirit.  Then you won't be doing what your sinful nature craves.  The old sinful nature loves to do evil, which is just opposite from what the Holy Spirit wants.  And the Spirit gives us desires that are opposite from what the sinful nature desires.  These two forces are constantly fighting each other, and your choices are never free from this conflict.  But when you are directed by the Holy Spirit, you are no longer subject to the law. 

When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, your lives will produce these evil results: sexual immorality, impure thoughts, eagerness for lustful pleasure, idolatry, participation in demonic activities, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, divisions, the feeling that everyone is wrong except those in your own little group, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other kinds of sin.  Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives, he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.  Here there is no conflict with the law.

Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desire of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there.  If we are living now by the Holy Spirit, let us follow the Holy Spirit's leading in every part of our lives.  Let us not become conceited, or irritate one another, or be jealous of one another.

'What counts is whether we really have been changed into new and different people.  May God's mercy and peace be upon all those who live by this principle.  They are the new people of God.'  Galatians 6:15b-16

   Let Us Pray

Father God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, truth can be so evasive, illusive, is absolutely destructive, if not used, heeded, embraced fully, and, lack of it can pervade even the most staunch believers, as we are seeing today politically, and in the religious sectors in the USA especially, and in the world.  Satan has most assuredly pulled the wool over many Christians eyes and is diverting them from THE Truth, THE Word, THE Light.  And even the fruits, Holy Spirit, given by you.  They act as if Donald Trump is their Savior, rather than seeing you, Jesus, as their Savior.  I  know it's nauseating to me to see the flock led astray and lost, I cannot fathom the pain and suffering you are experiencing over seeing the people confused, lost, turning away from you and your teachings God, Jesus, Holy Spirit.  I come to you in sincere earnestness, begging you to help those who are turned upside down spiritually.  I know you gave us free will, freedom of choice, but Lord, God, Holy Spirit, not even a virus causing death, nor hurricanes and flooding causing destruction, nor division in the world, and killing of innocents, divisiveness in families, and more is reaching those who should be praying with you, to you, listening to your counsel and worshiping you.  So much pain has been caused by the lies, the cheating, the evil emitted from our current US President.  So much evil from even previously professing, and those still professing, you, Jesus, but now in such a twisted way it is unrecognizable from who you really are, and all the principles you've instilled.  Help us Lord.  Open the eyes of those turned astray.  Wake them up, shake them up.  Make then stop making life be about their political way or the highway, instead of following Christian based laws with which this country was formed, and the love based principles you've given us.  They've turned their back on you, Father God, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit.  Keep those of us who are continuing to see you, live with you, attempt to go forward righteously, and willing to help others....be safe from the fowler, Satan and his assigns.  Father God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, please, I beg of you, do not let Donald Trump win another election by evil ways again.  Or by any way.  He's telling people to break the law to vote twice for him, as the leader of the USA....he's telling people to come to his evil side.  He's twisting the truth in so many ways.  He's using words to imply he believes in you, even that he might possibly know you, but nothing could be further from the truth as we view the LACK OF and DISREGARD  for Holy Spirit and fruits....gifts given us by Holy Spirit.  He is not Satan incarnate, but he is surely one of his assigns.  Rebuke him, get him out of office, take him to task for all his previous and current evil ways, and, put him in jail where he should be, but wait please, til the election is over and Joe Biden has won, or we'll have to deal with yet another person who once professed you, but lives in opposition to you now in the Vice Presidency.  However, you and I both know where Donald Trump is heading in the end.  No one can be that purposefully evil and not go to hell.  He has mocked you, Lord.  To your face.  He has mocked all of intelligence in the world.  I heard you say, "Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." Thank you, Lord.  I know I am safe in your arms, as is my family, and other Christians who are seeing this spiritual battle for what it is.  But it's a lonely battle, Lord.  I know you know that battle.  I embrace you in all you're going through, and receive your embrace in return.   I know you are praying for me and the world.  I will pray for you.  I am so sorry you God, Jesus, Holy Spirit are going through all this.  Your pain must be immeasurable.  Forgive me....forgive us....for all our sins.  And thank you, for forgiving me, and all those also in need of such.  l praise you.  I thank you.  I love you.  Amen.

Let us hear from Paul as he prays:  

When I think of the wisdom and scope of God's plan, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth.  I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will give you mighty inner strength through his Holy Spirit.  And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts as you trust in him.  May your roots go down deep into the soil of God's marvelous love.  And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love really is.  May you experience the love of Christ, though it is so great you will never fully understand it.  Then you will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God.

Now glory be to God!  By his mighty power at work within us, he is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope.  May he be given glory in the church and in Christ Jesus forever and ever through endless ages.  Amen.  Ephesians 3:14-21 NLT

  One last thing....

Jesus' Prayer of Thanksgiving

'The Unforced Rhythms of Grace'

"Abruptly Jesus broke into prayer:  "Thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth.  You've concealed your ways from sophisticates and know-it-alls, but spelled them out clearly to ordinary people.  Yes, Father, that's the way you like to work."

Jesus resumed talking to the people, but now tenderly.  "The Father has given me all these things to do and say.  This is a unique Father - Son operation, coming out of Father and Son intimacies and knowledge.  No one knows the Son the way the Father does, nor the Father the way the Son does.  But I'm not keeping it to myself; I'm ready to go over it line by line with anyone willing to listen."

"Are you tired?  Worn out?  Burned out on religion?  Come to me.  Get away with me and you'll recover your life.  I'll show you how to take a real rest.  Walk with me and work with me - watch how I do it.  Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.  I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn how to live freely and lightly.

Matthew 11:  25-30

  The Message

And the people said,

"Amen."

I now write most prayers in the position of ' I ' (first person) because most people are sitting at their computer alone, not in groups, and it allows those reading and praying to personalize the prayer as coming from them going to God.  Variations may appear on holidays when families may wish to use the prayer provided.  I encourage you to pray your own prayers as well.

NOTE:  I said it long ago, but let me say it again.  If you are wanting to lead a group, start a church, or are confined in an institution, or live in a country where the Gospel is not preached, and you don't know what to say or how to say it, and yet feel led to share, teach, or preach, besides just reading straight out of the Bible and sharing what God puts on your heart, please feel free to share any or all of what I've written, if it will help you, as long as you include where it comes from, due to copyright laws.  Jesus gave God's love and healing freely, as well as his message.  Our responsibility is to get the Word out to those who need to hear it.  If what I've written....by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit....or what he has said through me....has helped you, it may help others that you know.  You are welcome to share it.  God calls all of us to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the world.  Please share it with the fullness of love that God, Jesus, Holy Spirit....and I....have given it.  Amen!
