‭Galatians 4:1-20 KJV‬

[1] Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; [2] but is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. [3] Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: [4] but when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, [5] to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. [6] And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. [7] Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. [8] Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods. [9] But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? [10] Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. [11] I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain. [12] Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are: ye have not injured me at all. [13] Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first. [14] And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus. [15] Where is then the blessedness ye spake of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me. [16] Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth? [17] They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them. [18] But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you. [19] My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you, [20] I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you.

Note for 2024/04/16

Are you a son to GOD, our Father in Heaven? Is Christ being formed in you? How do you cry out to Our Father, The GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? Who is God to you, and do you have a share in His inheritance for you? This life, my friends, is a process of schooling, until the time appointed of Our Father in Heaven. What then is it that we learn, of GOD or of this world? There is so much to be understood here, for a son honors his Father, by standing in that which He has taught him. In Salvation, we all stand in the same, it comes by Christ alone. But, in preparation for the inheritance to come, we are each prepared according to the purpose we will stand in. 

To explain, think of a wealthy father, who has many farms. Do then, one that grows the wheat, require the same knowledge as the one that cares for goats and sheep? And what of the one who brings oil from the olive tree, and the one that brings wine from the grapevine? If this man then has many sons, are they not trained to care for what they will inherit, from the time they are young? And at evening time, do they not all sit together around a table and share a meal? 

How then are we to rule and reign with Christ? If we received no training, will we know what is needed for it? To rule, you must care for more than yourself. You must then care for all the fathers and their sons, even to the widow and the orphan child. Yes, even for the stranger in the land and the desperate beggar at the city gates. You must care for the criminal and the jailer that supervises his rehabilitation. You must then learn to care about justice and to stand for the plight of the poor. For the ill you must find compassion, even for those who mourn the loss of a loved one. And in the heart, it must be true; not just a duty. For in Christ we have learned that love covers a multitude of sin. The scale then balanced, and justice prevailed, without respect of person. 

So... Why are we here upon the earth? The church has a void to fill in Heaven. For Christ will return as He promised and take us to where He is. In that He said, "in My Father's House there are many mansions..." "I go to prepare a place for you." 

My friends, I ask again, do you believe what you read in God's Word? Do you believe the prophecies given to us by His prophets that are in process of being fulfilled? We were created unto GOD'S purpose, and even put through this school of life unto that same purpose. 

Remember, Eve met with that fallen old serpent back in Eden. When then did He fall from heaven? GOD created man to be His children, can we then leave this realm, the same as what we came? From the beginning, to the end, how then is it described in Revelations? And they overcame the beast by the Blood of the Lamb and by the testimony of their mouth, and loved not their lives unto death. 

So, would it then be fair to ask, what is your purpose each day? Are you on earthly tasks, or on a mission from Heaven? Are you learning that which must be learned to stand in your inheritance? An inheritance brought to us through a union with Christ? And if we are to rule and reign with Christ, how can we go at it here, without council with the Holy Spirit? If we then do not stand in union with that which GOD has sent, if we are not in agreement with the Will of GOD, have we then not become rebels? And when we stand in rebellion, do we not stand with the father of rebellion, who has sown lies and discord among GOD'S children? If the Word then is the seed that was sown into us by GOD, who then sewed the lies that separate us from the will of GOD? 

Man and all his earthly doctrines, is working against a full harvest. The weeds are strangling the wheat. What then, is destined for the fire? The wheat or the weeds? Does your daily activity hint to your destiny up ahead? Is the fruit of your mouth a testimony of your faith in GOD? Who am I, in word and deed? By the fruit you will know the tree. 

When will Christ be formed in you, if you model yourself after this world? What is your heart's desire? Is it of this world or of your Father's Kingdom? Christ said to gather treasure for the Kingdom of GOD where the moth and rust does not destroy, where then, is your efforts focused on? What have we learned, my friends? Are we still living uncontrolled lives? Can we exercise constraint? Why did GOD destroy the world in Noah's time? Are we heading in the same direction as they stood in then? "As the days of Noah..." that rings within me as a warning, and I see mankind heading there headlong and stiff-necked. With hearts of stone they trade with one another, and they speak words of gain-say. 

I see the writing on the wall. Day-by-day, I see man forming into what I have read in prophecy. It is like watching a thriller, and I shout at the world as one would shout to the TV, "Don't go there!" But this world is as unresponsive as those actors in the movie, they go despite all my shouting. They walk into every trap the enemy set up for them. Maybe I know because I read the script. 

Don't walk in the ways of this world my friends, test all things and keep what is good. Know what is truly good, by washing all you know in the Word of GOD. Then, you will not go into the dark room where your destroyer waits. 

This is a sounding trumpet, an alarm to signal the season and the time. Let him who has ears to hear, hear. Remain in sound doctrine, the doctrine of Jesus Christ. 

Shalom
