‭Galatians 5:7-26 KJV‬

[7] Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? [8] This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you. [9] A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. [10] I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be. [11] And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased. [12] I would they were even cut off which trouble you. [13] For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. [14] For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. [15] But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. [16]  This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. [17] For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. [18] But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. [19] Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, [20] idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, [21] envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. [22] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, [23] meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. [24] And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. [25] If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. [26] Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

Note for 2024/04/18

Friends, I speak to you this morning as if I did not cease from speaking yesterday. In the Spirit I am troubled by the lack of commitment to the faith I see all throughout the world. I see people walk in strange ways, calling themselves by the same name as those that stand in the faith. This cannot be. If then freed from the law, standing in the Spiritual liberty, how does that give occasion to be bound to sin again? How did the church become so lukewarm?

Here in Galatians 5, read for yourself. What is the fruit of the flesh and what is the fruit of the Spirit? Christ said, by their fruit shall you know them. Please do not consider me rude in this saying, for the only conclusion that I can come to is that the church today is then not church as Christ intended at all. For I see in what is presented to us as the church, all those things that Christ said he has against the churches in Revelations 2-3. Where is the true church then? If we are to walk in the Spirit, live in the Spirit; we walk by faith and not by sight. That also then means that the true church is not counted in what can be seen, but by the faith that goes unnoticed by the world. 

Are we unseen by this world? Oh! They see us. Just yesterday all the Christian Communities I belong to on a certain platform, were canceled. This must have been by the platform themselves, because the community that we administered, was ended too. They see us. This world rewards its own, but comes against us, who stand in faith. Have you noticed all the things that have been happening in Christian Churches? Shootings and stabbings, but what about the fall away of those in the church itself?

For a while now, I have been sounding the alarm of the times we are living in. The Lord has guided me to bring the message to you in a way that He directed me in. For this purpose, strategies have been employed to get the attention of the believers in our circles. And I ask again, "Is it well with your soul?" Do you have enough oil for your lamp? Have you increased in faith? For when I was a child, I did childish things, but having grown up, the things of a child are left behind. Yet, can we not forget our first love.

As a watcher, I see and hear all that the Lord has shown me, (as far as I know at least.) Have you seen what this world is doing, have you heard their words and what their hearts desire? On a certain gaming platform, for streaming; censorship has been lifted for what was once considered adult content. This, on a platform that kids frequent. Yet is it the Christian that is now being sensored, and the same is happening to the most popular video platform on the internet, slowly but surely. What is written about calling evil good, and good evil?

Friends, that is why chapters like these in Galatians are becoming more vital for the believer now than ever before. We must have a separate stance, and not partake of the iniquities of this world. We cannot stand in agreement with evil. Yet, we should not condemn, for judgment belongs to The LORD. Who will stick his hand into a burning fire, to pull out those who are suffering in it. Those that yet may be saved? But if we do not stand in the life of our Spiritual protection, we run the risk of being burned up too. For now, it is more crucial than ever before, that we live for the Spiritual fruits, and not walk after the flesh, but overcome it. For the hand that can save, must be extended.

Be careful, friends. Do not praise man for things that GOD is doing. Of late, we have seen wildfires, storms, flooding, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. And the trend? People say that it is man doing it to each other. Be careful not to miss the warning signs from GOD of an impending judgment of this fallen world. For as man is troubled by nature, man is blamed for it, discounting the Power and Authority of GOD in these matters. Do not become like those who lack Spiritual sight. Hear their testimonies against the Lord. Then you will know of the times we are living in.

I know that I am saved. I know where my Salvation comes from. So too, do I know that I might have to part with this body to achieve my goal. For my goal is to stand with the Lord of my Salvation, to be where He is. I know of the coming resurrection. But, as long as I am here, I stand in a world I do not belong to. My inheritance is of the Most High GOD in Heaven, in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. What then of this time and what we were called to do in the first place? The church, the true church of Christ; have they fallen asleep while Christ went off a little distance to pray to His Father in Heaven? Have we become those disciples?

It has become time for a Spiritual Health Check. We are to pay close attention to our faith and doctrine. Is it of the Lord? I am anxious, I will not lie. I fear, but not for myself. I stand in a place of lament, for the dead will not hear and the blind will not see. I am wailing for the calculated losses. And all that I can do is shout, "WAKE UP!" to a world fast asleep.

Yesterday, I overslept if you can remember. In my confusion, I accidentally canceled the reading plan I am on here on YouVersion. 328 days of progress lost in one moment, without an undo button. My heart sank at that moment. Then in the Spirit, the Lord asked me if I was doing this just for my streak. I was embarrassed. Of course, I did not keep this reading plan for the streak, but was I ready to move in a new direction if the Lord called on me to it? So, yes, I was embarrassed. Because friends, we must be ready to move as GOD directs. Now, the direction has not changed, but at least now I know, I am not asleep at the wheel. Understand?

What if the Lord calls you to another function, now? What if the way in which you walked has become redundant? For there is a time to work in the field, but we know that there comes a time when those in Judea will have to flee into the mountains. Not turning back for anything, even as the days of Lot and his family.

Are you awake? Are you armed and ready? Armed by the whole armor of GOD? Are you well versed in prophecy? Do you know the road signs to get where you have to go? Shall I then speak in cryptic form? For we know that not all of us will die, but all of us will change, even in the blink of an eye will we be transformed. Of timing, only our Father in Heaven knows.

I know these notes are long, friends. I ask for your patience, for the words must reach as many as it can, and not all are up to verse at this time. As far as the Armor of GOD goes, have you got The Sword in Hand? Are you well shielded and in full armor? Are you covered by the Blood of The Lamb? For as we move ahead from here, things will go stranger by the day and the earth will remain in this state of revolt, for the sake of the state of this world we are living in. You must be standing in a state of preparation, for prophecy to be fulfilled. Do not be surprised and pray to our Father in Heaven to remember His merciful kindness. You must pray, so the righteous may be counted.

This is a trumpet call, a forewarning. Let the saints then be on the ready. And if grace abounds, praise the Lord for it. For this world is standing in a state ready of judgment. The harvest is on the field.

May the Most High GOD, Bless and Keep you. May He give you safe passage, brothers and sisters. Fear not, for our redemption draws near. 

Shalom.
