Pastor Stephanie
The wisdom comes from God. As He is so are we in this world is not just something nice to quote. It is real.
We have chosen to learn God’s way.
Live out this life in your everyday life
The law was given to the jews to be successful. The Gentiles went to learn from the jews.
The new creation in Christ, we have Jesus. We have direct access to Christ and yet we are worrying and not using
Whatever law the jews had, they benefited because they know their covenant.
When you know who u r in Christ and u tap into the inheritance of Christ, u will go out and share and have everything in Christ.
Just get to know the Word, Jesus and the Holy Spirit
The law, everything was given for a purpose when Jesus comes.
Jesus is who you receive in Christ
We can live the life that Jesus live.
No longer live by sense realm.
Taking and raising up this generation
In this last day the purpose in life
Righteousness peace and joy in the holy spirit
GALATIANS 2:15-16 MSG
We Jews know that we have no advantage of birth over “non-Jewish sinners.”
We know very well that we are not set right with God by rule-keeping but only through personal faith in Jesus Christ.
How do we know?
We tried it—and we had the best system of rules the world has ever seen!
Convinced that no human being can please God by self-improvement, we believed in Jesus as the Messiah so that we might be set right before God by trusting in the Messiah, not by trying to be good.
The jews always see themselves as the nation chosen by God
They are nation. They saw themselves as one and they saw others as unclean and only they are clean. They have the pride of Jehovah
The pride the jews have is not the pride we have today
The jews knew their identity when they were born.
Cain and Abel already knew how to give offering to the Lord
They knew their heritage
They knew God has set them high above nations
If there is a Israel there is a God
The God showed His power through generation.
United nation recognise as a country and nation again
Trying to be good is in religion and law keeping
Today we have a different relationship
Christianity is not a religion
The new nature is the seed inside every believers.
GALATIANS 3:1 MSG
You crazy Galatians!
Did someone put a hex on you?
Have you taken leave of your senses? Something crazy has happened, for it’s obvious that you no longer have the CRUCIFIED JESUS in CLEAR FOCUS in your lives.
His sacrifice on the cross was certainly set before you clearly enough.
GALATIANS 3:2-4 MSG
Let me put this question to you:
How did your new life begin?
Was it by working your heads off to please God?
Or was it by responding to God’s Message to you?
Are you going to continue this craziness?
The inheritance in Christ
Receive the spirit of God. We are good enough to be called God’s child
Don’t try to be good enough. You are already good enough in Christ!
You don’t need to prove yourself
GALATIANS 3:2-4 MSG
For only crazy people would think they could complete by their own efforts what was BEGUN by GOD.
If you weren’t smart enough or strong enough to begin it, how do you suppose you could perfect it?
Did you go through this whole painful learning process for nothing?
GALATIANS 3:5-6 MSG
Answer this question:
Does the God who lavishly provides you with his own presence, his Holy Spirit, working things in your lives you could never do for yourselves, does he do these things because of your strenuous moral striving or because you trust him to do them in you?
Don’t these things happen among you just as they happened with Abraham? He BELIEVED God, and that act of belief was turned into a LIFE that was right with God.
He makes you holy.
You are holy
In Christ we have become righteous
Sanctified (made holy)
I will bless you.
God bless us. Not we try to be blessed
We receive the holy spirit by faith
Abraham was 430 years before Moses
The devil is a liar.
Lying is sin.
In their lies, in their sins, the wages of sin is death. Only believe in Christ we are saved.
Leave the world thinking
We are the new creation in Christ
GALATIANS 3:7-8 MSG
Is it not obvious to you that persons who put their TRUST IN CHRIST (not persons who put their trust in the law!) are LIKE ABRAHAM:
CHILDREN of FAITH?
It was all laid out beforehand in Scripture that God would set things right with NON-JEWS by FAITH.
Scripture anticipated this in the promise to Abraham:
“ALL NATIONS will be BLESSED in you.”
GALATIANS 3:9-10 MSG
So those now who LIVE by FAITH are BLESSED along with Abraham, who lived by faith—this is no new doctrine!
And that means that anyone who tries to LIVE by his OWN EFFORT, INDEPENDENT of GOD, is DOOMED to FAILURE.
Scripture backs this up: “Utterly cursed is every person who fails to carry out every detail written in the Book of the law.”
U want pleasure or pressure
GALATIANS 3:11-12 MSG
The obvious impossibility of carrying out such a moral program should make it plain that no one can sustain a RELATIONSHIP with GOD that way.
The person who lives in right relationship with God does it by EMBRACING what GOD ARRANGES FOR him.
Doing things for God is the opposite of entering into what God does for you.
Your body belongs to God. You are a temple of the Holy Spirit
Embrace what God arranges for us
He is going to make us successfully
His thoughts for us are good and not evil.
The joy of the Lord
GALATIANS 3:11-12 MSG
Habakkuk had it right: “The person who believes God, is set right by God—and that’s the real life.”
Rule-keeping does not naturally evolve into living by faith, but only perpetuates itself in more and more rule-keeping, a fact observed in Scripture: “The one who does these things [rule-keeping] continues to live by them.”
GALATIANS 3:13-14 MSG
Christ redeemed us from that self-defeating, cursed life by ABSORBING it completely into himself.
Do you remember the Scripture that says, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”?
That is what happened when Jesus was nailed to the cross: He BECAME a curse, and at the same time DISSOLVED the curse.
And now, because of that, the air is cleared and we can see that ABRAHAMS BLESSING is present and available for NON-JEWS, too.
We are ALL ABLE to RECEIVE GOD’S LIFE, his SPIRIT, in and with us by BELIEVING —just the way Abraham received it.
The more you try the more you put yourself into rule keeping
We can see Abraham’s blessing
Jesus took it all, He will bless us
Shalom is His peace
Supernatural peace fills the heart
Rest and trust in Him
Let the holy spirit guide us
We are all able to receive God’s life
GALATIANS 4:7 TPT
Now we’re no longer living like SLAVES under the law, but we ENJOY being God’s very own SONS and DAUGHTERS!
And because WE’RE HIS, we can ACCESS EVERYTHING our FATHER HAS —
for we are HEIRS of God through JESUS, the Messiah!
God did not make you sons and daughters to make you a slave
To be son, you can have direct access. You can enjoy.
Servants and slaves need to work for it.
We are His we have access.
Live day by day
Today God gives you, enjoy it!
Why are you anticipating disaster?
Anticipate God’s blessings
God gives us manna one day at a time.
God wants to bless us and provide for us even more.
With God you can access His blessings.
Today they are sons and daughters in Christ Jesus.
As a son you get to become an heir.
GALATIANS 4:8-9 TPT
Before we knew God as our Father and we became his children, we were unwitting servants to the powers that be, which are nothing compared to God.
But now that we truly know him and understand HOW DEEPLY WE’RE LOVED by HIM, why would we, even for a moment, consider turning back to those weak and feeble principles of religion, as though we were still subject to them?
Don’t think about God what i should do today to love you more
GALATIANS 4:10-11 TPT
Why would we want to go BACKWARDS into the BONDAGE of RELIGION —scrupulously observing rituals like special days, celebrations of the new moon, annual festivals, and sacred years?
I’m so alarmed about you that I’m beginning to wonder if my labor in ministry among you was a waste of time!
GALATIANS 4:21-22 TPT
Tell me, do you want to go back to living strictly by the law?
Haven’t you ever listened to what the law really says?
Have you forgotten that Abraham had TWO sons; one by the SLAVE girl, and the other by the FREEWOMAN?
GALATIANS 4:23 TPT
Ishmael, the son of the SLAVE girl, was a child of the NATURAL REALM.
But Isaac, the son of the FREEWOMAN, was born SUPERNATURALLY by the SPIRIT —
a child of the PROMISE of God!
GALATIANS 4:24 TPT
These two women and their sons express an allegory and become symbols of TWO COVENANTS.
The first covenant was BORN on Mount SINAI, BIRTHING children into slavery—children BORN to HAGAR.
This illustrates the very thing we are dealing with now.
The two BIRTHS represent two WAYS of being in RELATIONSHIP with GOD.
Sarah is Abraham’s wife
Symbols of TWO COVENANTS
Mount Sinai
Children born to Hagar born into slavery
Have son relationship with God
Sinai = "thorny"
Hagar = "flight"
Come boldly in the presence of God without guilt and condemnation
GALATIANS 4:25 TPT
For “Hagar” represents the law given at Mount Sinai in Arabia.
The “Hagar” metaphor corresponds to the earthly Jerusalem of today who are currently in BONDAGE.
GALATIANS 4:26 TPT
In contrast, there is a heavenly Jerusalem above us, which is our true “mother.”
She is the freewoman, BIRTHING children into FREEDOM!
GALATIANS 4:28 AMP
And we, [believing] brothers and sisters, like Isaac, are children [NOT MERELY of PHYSICAL DESCENT, like Ishmael, but are children BORN] of PROMISE [BORN MIRACULOUSLY].
Issac cause u to laugh
GALATIANS 4:29-30 AMP
But as at that time the child [of ordinary birth] BORN according to the FLESH persecuted the son who was born according to [the PROMISE and WORKING of] the SPIRIT, so it is now also.
Realise who you are
Life in Christ we depend on Him and feed on Him
GALATIANS 4:29-30 AMP
But what does the Scripture say? “CAST OUT the bondwoman [Hagar] and her son [Ishmael],
For NEVER shall the son of the bondwoman be HEIR and SHARE the INHERITANCE with the son of the free woman.”
There is a Scripture that tells us what to do: “EXPEL the slave mother with her son, for the SLAVE son WILL NOT INHERIT with the FREE son.”
Isn’t that conclusive?
We are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman. (MSG)
Holy Spirit is Helper. Are you using His help?
Cast out the law. Cast out the bondwoman
GALATIANS 4:31 AMP
So then, believers, we [who are BORN AGAIN—reborn FROM ABOVE —spiritually transformed, renewed, and SET APART for HIS PURPOSE]
are NOT children of a slave woman [the NATURAL], but of the free woman [the SUPERNATURAL].
The church is one church
1 plus 1 plus 1 equals 1
GALATIANS 5:1 KJV
Stand fast therefore in the LIBERTY wherewith CHRIST hath made us free, and be not ENTANGLED again with the YOKE of bondage.
Entangled -
to hold in or upon, that is, ensnare ;
to keep a grudge: - entangle with, have a quarrel against, urge.
Yoke - to join, especially by a " yoke" ; a coupling, that is, servitude (a law or obligation); also the beam of the balance (as connecting the scales): - pair of balances, yoke.
Bondage - slavery, bondage, the condition of a slave
We put ourselves under obligation with Jesus
Thru faith we fall from grace
GALATIANS 5:5-6 AMP
For we [not relying on the Law but] through the [strength and power of the Holy] Spirit, by faith, are waiting [confidently] for the hope of righteousness [the completion of our salvation].
For [if we are] IN CHRIST JESUS neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but only FAITH activated and expressed and working through LOVE.
GALATIANS 5:7-8 AMP
You were running [the race] well; who has interfered and prevented you from obeying the truth? This [deceptive] persuasion is not from Him who called you [to freedom in Christ].
GALATIANS 5:9 AMP
A little leaven [a slight inclination to error, or a few false teachers] leavens the whole batch [it perverts the concept of FAITH and misleads the church].
Don’t you know that when you ALLOW EVEN a LITTLE LIE into your HEART, it can permeate your ENTIRE BELIEF SYSTEM?
GALATIANS 5:13 AMP
For you, my brothers, were called to freedom;
only do not let your freedom become an opportunity for the sinful nature (worldliness, selfishness), but through LOVE SERVE and SEEK the BEST for ONE ANOTHER.
GALATIANS 5:16 AMP
But I say, WALK HABITUALLY IN THE [Holy] SPIRIT [SEEK HIM and be RESPONSIVE to HIS GUIDANCE],
and then you will certainly not carry out the desire of the sinful nature [which responds impulsively without regard for God and His precepts].
As you yield freely and fully to the DYNAMIC LIFE and POWER of the HOLY SPIRIT, you will abandon the cravings of your self-life.
GALATIANS 5:17 AMP
For the sinful nature has its desire which is opposed to the Spirit, and the [desire of the] Spirit opposes the sinful nature;
for these [two, the sinful nature and the Spirit] are in DIRECT OPPOSITION to each other [continually in conflict], so that you [as believers] do not [always] do whatever [good things] you want to do.
GALATIANS 5:17 TPT
For your self-life craves the things that offend the Holy Spirit and hinder him from living free within you!
And the Holy Spirit’s intense cravings hinder your old self-life from dominating you!
So then, the two incompatible and conflicting forces within you are your self-life of the flesh and the NEW CREATION LIFE of the SPIRIT.
The new creation life is in Christ by the Holy Spirit
GALATIANS 5:18 AMP
But if you are GUIDED and LED by the SPIRIT, you are not subject to the Law.
But when you are brought into the full freedom of the Spirit of GRACE, you will no longer be living under the domination of the law, but SOARING ABOVE it!
GALATIANS 5: 25-26 MSG
Since this is the kind of life we have chosen, the LIFE of the SPIRIT, let us make sure that we do not just hold it as an IDEA in our HEADS or a SENTIMENT in our HEARTS,
but WORK OUT its implications in every detail of our lives.
That means we will not compare ourselves with each other as if one of us were better and another worse.
We have far more interesting things to do with our lives.
Each of us is an ORIGINAL.
Meditate who you are in Christ
There is no more comparison
Stop comparing
Meditate on how Christ ℓσνє you
GALATIANS 6:14 TPT
My only boast is in the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus, our Messiah.
IN HIM I HAVE BEEN CRUCIFIED to this NATURAL REALM;
and the NATURAL REALM is DEAD to ME and NO LONGER DOMINATES MY LIFE.
We have chosen the life of spirit. Enjoy the full blessings of Abraham. In Christ we enjoy Him.
