The Full Manifestation of The Revival is Upon You

Yes, Gleanings from The Book of Galatians

We saw in our last discussion as the apostle became ferocious against these false brethren trying to turn back the hearts of the Galatians from continuing in the grace of God to the law, saying whosoever he be he shall bear his Judgment.

Then we hear;

Galatians 5:11
And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.

The most persecuted apostle of all time is the apostle Paul. Observe this statement “If I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution”

The preaching of circumcision is the preaching of the law. This the apostle was highly against, which is the major reason for persecution. This kind of persecution comes from religious people. They will fight to the death to stop you from dethroning their self-made religion.

Paul preached the free Grace of Christ. That a man is justified by faith in Christ alone. Qualified for every blessing by that blood and nothing else. Hence, we have to live by faith in Christ alone and not by the works of the law. This is offensive to many.

On one of the accounts of his persecution, we hear them say this of him;

Acts 18:12-13
And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat, Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.

Observe the last statement “This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law”

This is the offence of the cross. It defies the self-righteousness and the wisdom of men. The preaching of the cross is to persuade men to worship God by Christ, to asist men to lean on the grace of God rather than the law, which is offensive to religious minds.

I love it when I am persecuted, to me, it is a mark of quality. A proof the scriptures are fulfilled in my life.

My concern is the flock, those not yet deeply rooted in Christ. Which was the reason Paul made this next statement;

Galatians 5:12
I would they were even cut off which trouble you.

Its a dangerous road to trade on. Paul prays for the destruction of those hindering the Galatians from being established in Christ. Praying they should be cut off entirely from Christ.

Then we hear him admonish;

Galatians 5:13
For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

O’ we are called unto liberty. Into total freedom in Christ where our consciences are purified by the blood of Jesus. No more guilt and condemnation.

Where we are free from servitude to sin, free from the bondage of the law, free from Satan, free from every custom that would put us back into bondage.

Now the exercise of our freedom is made manifest in outward matters. Where we were in bondage to the lust of the flesh, we manifest our freedom by reigning over the desires of the flesh and not using our liberty as an occasion to sin.

Where we were selfish and hating one another, living in unforgiveness, we have been set free to love unconditionally even as God has loved us.

Beloved, you are free, let your freedom be manifested through your father’s nature of love.

Let the world see you are set free from all the bondage they are in.

In an encounter with the Lord, I saw this Christian in a new Church, it was as though they had packed into this Church newly,

Miracles became the order of the day. I saw people slain in the Spirit even during preachings and I saw the power of God move rapidly, miracles were happening unprecedentedly as the Church grew so fast it was unimaginable for many. It looked too sudden as I heard people say.

The church building was yet to be completed but people filled it to overflow. They were multitude of people in this building.

As I saw this, I felt the Lord say;”It is now coming in. The full manifestation of the revival is now upon you.”

I was led to;

Isaiah 48:3
I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass.

Zechariah 2:4-5
And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein: For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.

Then the Lord said, “It is now coming in, the full manifestation of the revival is now upon you. I have declared the great harvest, my word has gone out of my mouth and now, I AM doing a sudden work upon Zion as I fulfil my word.

In an instant I am bringing these to pass; The sons of Zion I AM multiplying, multitude of men will dwell in my church even as towns without walls.

I am filling you with my glory, wealth and prosperity I am bringing to Zion in abundance. The hour of greater kingdom manifestation is upon you.

Miracles unprecedentedly, glory beyond what you have ever experienced for I AM the wall of fire round about you and the Glory in your midst.”

Glory is Already Your Portion

Yes, Gleanings from the Book of Galatians.

We saw from our last discussion, how the apostle Paul declared to the Galatians that they were called into the grace of Christ, they did run well when they were running their Christian race under the grace of God. But they were now being hindered, being persuaded to fall back to the keeping of the law to which the apostle declared that persuasion is never from God.

Then we hear;

Galatians 5:10
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.

Observe the statement “I have confidence in you through the Lord”

The apostle never stops at “I have confidence in you” to which no man ought to. We never are admonished to put confidence in the arm of the flesh – for there is nothing good in man to put faith in. Rather he goes on to lay the bases of his confidence that it was “through the Lord”

He put confidence in the work of Christ upon them knowing fully well and;

Philippians 1:6
Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

People’s lives have been shattered by others they have trusted. Thinking so and so person will never do this or that to me. The word of God declares there is nothing good in man( Romans 7:18) and cursed be anyone that puts confidence in the arm of the flesh (Jeremiah 17:5). To run away from the curse, put no confidence in man but God.

It may shock you to hear this, but I do no trust even my wife. I didn’t get married to her because of my love for her nor because I had confidence in her. No! never!

I got married to her because the Lord spoke and led me to her, hence, my confidence is in the Lord, that he which began this good work will perform until the day of Jesus Christ.

I am so aware that whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world. Because my confidence is in God, I have shut the door to speculations and suspicions which destroy marriages faster than a virus. Everything outside of light I cannot accept for I dare not think God will ever fail.

This can be applied to all endeavors. Confidence in God to keep his creation and not confidence in the potentials or qualities of creation. That’s a little diversion though.

Then we hear”but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be”

Many people take it lightly to speak against the preaching of the gospel of God. The revelation of the free grace of Christ. They are unlearned in matters of doctrine, they are not called to be teachers, yet they are unafraid to criticise, trying to unsettled the souls of those resting in the grace of Christ.

This is dangerous as you can see the apostle speaking above. There is a judgment from them Lord against all those involved in this demonic persuasion. Those troubling the pure waters of the sanctuary at the risk of being accursed;

Galatians 1:6-8
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

To be made a custodian of the oracles of God, the mysteries of the gospel is not something which comes easily. You must study to show yourself approved unto God first, before coming out to proclaim your convictions, or else, you may just be in danger of God’s Judgment.

The letter kills! You can’t read the Bible ordinarily then expect to have revelation of scripture. You must be authorised by the Spirit. The portals of revelation must be opened unto you, if not, all you will ever see in scripture will be Moses. In other not to deny Jesus, you will certainly say yes, we are saved by grace, but Moses is the way to life and blessings now. He will teach us to live holy for the grace of God is not sufficient to teach us to deny ungodliness, living soberly in this world.

The gospel is simple but not easy to understand, we ought to pray for the Spirit of understanding to be able to understand how to rightly divide the word of truth. If not, we will be wrestling with the gospel Paul spearheaded to our own destruction;

2 Peter 3:15-16
And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

As you can see stated above, matters of doctrine are simple but very hard to understand. We are not to be hasty as others, we are to be skilled in the doctrine of righteousness.

You beloved are not like them, we have been given the grace to understand these truths many struggle with. We are steadfast and we will never allow ourselves to be led away by the error of the wicked;

2 Peter 3:17
Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.

For we are called into the grace of Christ, here we will ever remain. We will continue to take root downward in the knowledge of the Lord and to bear fruit upward, growing richly in the grace of God, to him be Glory even for ever, Amen!

2 Peter 3:18
But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

In an encounter with the Lord, “I saw a Christian, he had written an exam before and made very good grades. But I saw him return to the same institution to write the same exams he had already written and had passed very well to which he was all ready a graduate.

But this time, I saw him more relaxed, he cared nothing much, being very joyful, fear was out, anxiety was out, he felt as though he was just doing it for fun, knowing wiyhin himself it was already fulfilled.

I was led by the Spirit to;

Ephesians 1:11-12
In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

Then the Lord said,”My beloved soldier, what you see is just a trial, I have already given you the inheritance. I have already predestined you for greatness.

My purpose for you is immutable, in my will you have already obtained the inheritance. I AM only working all things in your life after the counsel of my own will.

Now, in my purpose for you, be careful for nothing, kick out fear, kick out anxiety, welcome in my Joy, knowing fully well glory is already your portion, for I have created you to be for the praise of my glory.”

It is Beyond What You Have Ever Imagined

Yes, Gleanings from the Book Of Galatians.

We saw from our last discussion that, circumcision or uncircumcision amounts to nothing, but faith which operates by love. The love of God for us, our love to God and humanity in general.

Then we hear;

Galatians 5:7
Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?

“Ye did run well” the apostle said, but how had they run well?

Galatians 3:2-3
This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith. Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

They were running well when they were being led by the spirit and not by the works of the flesh. They had begun their Christian journey in the Spirit through believing in the free Grace of God.

They had received salvation through faith in Christ Jesus which justified them efficaciously, but they were now turning away from the truth.

“who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth”

They were now being hindered from continuing in their obedience of the truth. Now what is the truth here that Paul had delivered unto them to which they were now being hindered from, by false and religious bethren?

Galatians 1:6
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

Yes, the Free Grace of God was the truth they were being hindered from giving their total allegiance to. The doctrine of justification by faith in the righteousness of Christ.

Every other assertion which lays a stumbling block upon the hearts of the people is neither from the apostles nor from God.

As we can see;

Galatians 5:8
This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.

The persuasion to go back to the works of the law after you have been saved is not of God.

The apostles never admonished anyone to do that, in fact we here their collective verdict on this matter;

Acts 15:23-24
And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia: Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:

Observe this statement carefully “Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment”

Today a lot of people are still troubling us. These uninspired brethren still trouble the hearts of the saints with their false assertions in an attempt to subvert the souls of the saints from resting in the grace of God.

All the apostles gathered together and wrote after observing scriptures and by the inspiration of the Holy Ghost, that no one should go back to the keeping of the law after they have been saved.

They declared as you can see in the verses above, that they gave no such commandment to no one.

Meaning, all those asserting for the keeping of the law after you have begun in the grace of God are inspired by demons. They may be saved but they are being influenced by doctrines of devils.

Hence, the apostle said this persuasion did not come from God who had called them into the grace of Christ.

Then we hear;

Galatians 5:9
A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.

Just a small sour leaven ferments a large mass of dough, even so it is with Grace and The Law. Observation of one little jot totally annihilates man’s faith in the righteousness of God.

The Law is not of faith. It is a faith destroyer. The moment the works of the flesh are added to faith it destroys everything. It completely renders the work of Christ vain.

These are little foxes that many people have not identified which are a hindrance to many seeing the power of God fully manifesting in their lives.

But you O’ child of God are different. You are a child of Grace. You are running well and never will be entrapped in the snare of the enemy.

You are running with divine speed as you continue to look to the grace of God. For in it, your part is already fulfilled, your already destiny secured, you are only walking in the finished work of Christ.

We will continue tomorrow…

In an encounter with the Lord, I saw a Christian as he went to catch fish in a mass of water. He went but I saw him return empty handed, even though he had sensed there was an extremely huge amount of fishes in the spot he visited, but he could not just catch.

Then I saw the Lord appear, and released power upon this Christian, declaring to him that the fishes he had given to him.

As this Child of God went back to the water, the problem now was how he would be able to carry this extremely large number of fishes out of the water. The blessing was actually beyond his capacity.

I was led by the Spirit of the Lord to;

Luke 5:4-7
Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake. And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.

Then I heard the Lord say, “Beloved, I have seen your toil, you have laboured for a long time now with nothing to your account. But don’t be weary, for I AM in your boat.

Do not draw back, neither be relaxed, but stretch forward and launch out, for I have already given you a great catch.

It is beyond what you have ever imagined. It is the fulfilment of my word upon you.

What I have given unto you now, you will have no room to receive. Blessings in abundance you won’t be able to catch up with.”

You Will Now See The Greatness of Your God

Yes, Gleanings from the book of Galatians
In our last discussion, it was revealed to us how the only ground of justification is through the righteousness of faith, to which even all the apostles hoped in and looked to receiving the full dividends of their salvation at the return of Jesus.

He now goes on to give us the reason they all hoped in the righteousness God which comes by Christ Jesus;

Galatians 5:6
For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.

In the kingdom of Christ, in the religion which Christ came to establish; neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any evidence in matters of salvation. In the gospel dispensation it is totally abolished.

It had significance before the coming of Christ, but now it is fulfilled, abolished, taken out of the way and no longer a sacrament.

The Jew no longer has a special standing before God, neither does the gentile; all are accepted by faith in Christ Jesus with neither personality nor works attached.

Then we hear “but faith which worketh by love”

The word used above for worketh is from the Greek word energeo, from where we get the English word energy, and it means to be active, to be efficient (Strong’s Concordance 1754).

True faith is active, true faith is efficient, true faith is operative. It is not a mere intellectual belief but it is rooted deep in the heart, controlling its affections.

True faith comes with its works called; works of love or the labour of love.

True faith works by love not and not by works of The Law. True faith is energized by love to God and benevolence to man.

True faith has energy it. It is not a mere profession but is carries the energy of God in it. Genuine faith operates out of love to God and kindness and affection to man.

True faith works not by desire for self glory but a desire for God to be exalted, esteeming others better than itself.

True faith has Christ as its author and finisher.

This is why the apostles were not afraid to preach the gospel of grace. Because the love of God activates faith and not the other way round. Faith works by love, where there is no love faith cannot be operative.

So, how do I put the faith of the believer to action?

Feed the Christian with the love of the father, and the faith resident in him will rise to the roof, with love to God expressing itself in affection to the brethren and to mankind generally.

True believers have the God kind of faith on their inside, which has love to God and love to man.

The grace of God rather helps to bring out the beauties in the Christian.

There is faith on your inside, you have the faith of your father on your inside with His love as the pledge.

So, keep loving and trusting God, and keeping loving others, for your faith works by love, and remember, love never fails!

See you tomorrow…..

In an encounter with the Lord, I heard him say; “Look not to your weaknesses nor to the necessities hanging on your neck. Look away from the reproaches and the persecutions coming upon you . Those distresses you are facing for my name’s sake. All these you are experiencing because you have dared to step out in my will.

But my dear one, I AM your strength, in this time you feel frail, my strength will be seen greater in you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. This is the time you are stronger in me.

So rejoice, you are in a place to see my surpassing power manifest upon you like you have never seen. You will now see the greatness of your God manifesting unprecedentedly all around you my dear Child.”

2 Corinthians 12:9-10
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

You Are Being Rescued

Yes, Gleanings from the Book of Galatians.

We saw from our previous discussion what the apostle Paul declared, that Christ becomes ineffective in the life of whosoever is justified by the law.

Then we hear,

Galatians 5:5
For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.

The above verse says something incredible. The apostle says “we through the Spirit”

If anyone one would have had a reason to seek justification through the works of the Law, it was the apostles. Although they were Jews, grew up under the law, yet, they at the revelation of Jesus by the Spirit, were wholly submitted to the righteousness of faith.

The statement “Wait for the hope of righteousness by faith” does not mean they were not at this time efficaciously righteous.

But this is speaking of the glory to be revealed at the return of Christ. The total manifestation of the kingdom of God, when our humble Lord and brother, the kinsman redeemer, returns for salvation and no longer for sin.

There are seemingly two kinds of righteousness, the righteousness of the Law which genders to bondage and the righteousness of God which comes to us by faith.

The righteousness of the law is not actual, but a supposed righteousness, because there never has existed a law given to which righteousness could come by.

Galatians 3:21
Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.

It is actually a self-righteousness, because it declares you are justified by your works. You live in it, and if you can’t possibly live in it you die in it.

Romans 10:5
For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them

If it had life in it, we would have received life and righteousness by living in its requirements. But it was meant to lead to the death of self. Hence, instead of living in it, men died in it and were held captive in its coffin.

Romans 7:6
“But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held”

Then we have the righteousness of God which comes by faith in Christ Jesus. This is the true and only righteousness. Here the the wretched sinner is justified freely by the free Grace of God without the works of the law, to which all the apostles looked to for salvation.

This righteousness has nothing to do with the works of the law. It is the fulfilment of the law, the fulfilment of the entire justice of God for the sinner by Christ.

Romans 3:21-22
But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

Observe the statement “for there is no difference”

The apostle says, we all, even though Jews, together with you, have put our hope in the righteousness of faith which comes unto all and upon all who believe, making no distinction.

Once you believe in the Son of God, this righteousness comes upon you while the law stands watching.

It stands powerless before righteousness of God, even though you lack the ability to meet up with the demands of the law, your faith in Christ fulfils it and beyond.

The Moment you believe in Jesus, you are in for it. The righteousness of God comes to you and lands upon you, making you eternally qualified to approach the throne of grace, to access your inexhaustible inheritance in Christ.

The truth is that, the greatest apostle that ever lived, Paul was not more righteous than you. He was not more qualified than you as you can hear him confess.

The apostle Peter was not more qualified than you. They had no other special standing with God, but in the righteousness of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

Now that you have believed in Jesus, you are the righteousness of God in Christ, made holy and fit for kingdom exploits!

See you tomorrow….

In an encounter with the Lord, I saw a Child of God with a lot of issues upon his body fall into a pit as he went there to do some work.

He had been taken through a tunnel of water into to this pit that was covered with hard concrete.

It looked as though he was dead in this pit.

But I saw how the Lord sent two angels, and I saw how one of the angels with a sharp digger, broke open the covering on this pit.

To my surprise this Child of God was found still alive in the pit. And his life was rescued.

I was led to:

Job 33:18
He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.

And again:

Psalms 91:11-12
For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Then the Lord said “My Child, holy and beloved of your Father, I see the issues upon your life. I see that they have taken you down to where it now looks as though you won’t be able to come out. I see that your situation looks as though you are dead in it.

But listen my dear Child, I have been keeping you all along, and I have not let go of my hand upon you. I am with you and still keeping you even from perishing even in this pit.

Your life is precious to me, it has cost me even the death of my firstborn, the son of My Love.

You will not be lost in this battle, I have given my angels charge over you, and you are being rescued from the sword of your adversaries.

They are keeping you in all your ways. See, you are being borne up in their hands out of the pit, Lest you be hurt by the evil one.”

Now Is The Time Of Miracles!

This word was originally posted March 31, 2020.

As I was about continuing with our Gleanings From The Book Of Galatians, The Holy Spirit impressed this word upon my heart so strong I had to pause and resend it to the one the Lord loves and wants to bless!

We will continue on our Gleanings From The Book of Galatians tomorrow…..

In a vision, The Lord showed me believer, He was in God’s purpose but because of the natural occurrence going on around him which seemed to be very opposing, he began to doubt if he had stepped out in God’s timing,

Then I saw a big bag full of leaflets and when I looked closely on what was written on these leaflets I saw “calling” on each of them.

Then I heard the Lord say “Do not be afraid of the storm, I dwell in thick darkness, and I have been leading you. You have not missed my call, but you are in your calling. I have been directing your work in truth for my everlasting covenant is upon you, and I have reserved for you the victory”.

For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them. Isaiah 61:8

In another encounter with the Lord, I saw the Lord appear to a believer who was in a very tight situation that only the sovereign hand of God could deliver him and the Lord said to him “God will bring you out”
Coming out of the encounter the Holy Ghost straight way lead me to Isaiah 35:4

Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you. Isaiah 35:4

The word translated above for save is from the Hebrew word yasha which means “to be open wide or free, and to free or succor” (Strong’s Concordance H3467).

Hear the Lord say, “I have come with vengeance and I’m bringing you out, I have opened wide the doors of your captivity and freed you. I beckon on you to step forward. My succor is with you, all I have called you to do I am helping you in the accomplishment of all with my own POWERFUL hand.”

Then in an encounter with the Lord yesterday he said to me “NOW IS THE TIME FOR MIRACLES”

It has begun, the miraculous is upon us. The Holy fire of God is upon the body of Christ right now. Do not be afraid but spread the fire of the Lord, pray for the sick on any platform given to you, online or face to face and watch the king roar with vengeance upon your enemies.
NOW IS THE TIME FOR MIRACLES.

Now, the Vision Will Speak In Your Favour

Yes, Gleanings from the Book of Galatians.

We saw from our last discussion, that Christ profits you nothing, when you go back to the doctrine of circumcision.

Then we hear the apostle continue;

Galatians 5:4
Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

“Christ is become of no effect unto you”

The effect of the Cross, the power of the Grace of God, the riches of the life of Christ are nullified in your life. The advantage of knowing the saviour is completely abrogated in your life. But why?

“whosoever of you is justified by the law”

Not as though anyone could! For by The Law, there shall no flesh be justified before God.

The meaning then is this, if you seek to be justified by the works of The Law, and by your invalid estimation, reckon yourself to be righteous before God by it. Christ is completely of no advantage to you. You render him ineffective in your life.

And then we hear;

“Ye are fallen from grace”

Fallen from grace? I thought The Law was higher than the Grace of God!
Oh grace is the higher life of the Christian. You are born from above and not from earthly Sinai. A lot of people make it look as though The Law is the higher standard of life, and people are looking for an excuse to live under the Grace of God.

Going back to the works of The Law is living your higher spiritual life, down to the mundane. Leaving your heavenly seat with Christ as the son of his love, reigning in life with him, to where you fall down to the earth and are try to rich up to heaven to bring Christ down by your works. A very bad picture if you would imagine it.

Don’t be like the fallen angel. You are already a child of God, a partaker of the divine nature. An heir of God, an heir of the kingdom, full of God’s wisdom and power.

You cannot be stopped, you are the light of the world, you are a city set upon the hill that cannot be hidden.

If I was not a child of God myself, I won’t lie to you, I wouldn’t have helped, but envied you all my life.

You are made blameless, spotless and predestined for greatness in Christ.

See you tomorrow….

In an exciting encounter with the Lord which looked as though a movie I had seen before, I saw a child of God in a race competition, I saw him run so well with the opponent. But it was quite a tight race.

Then as they approached the finish line, this child of God and his opponent were at the same pace, side by side, same speed it looked as though it would be a tie as they crossed the finish line.

After the race, there was a waiting time for the announcement of the winner, as the officials were keenly observing the race.

I saw this Child of God, not knowing the outcome but sensing it just has to be him, waiting and looking expectantly at what the officials would announce.

It was a shock though, but as the announcements were made. I saw this Child of God jump up with joyous celebration, for it was judged to his favour! He had won the race!

I was led to;

Habakkuk 2:2-3
And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

Then the Lord said, “My dearly loved one, know that you are in my will, and have been running with my vision upon your life. It has been hard I know, but you have been strong and unrelenting in the race in the face of opposing forces.

I know It is your greatest desire to see the fulfilment of my vision upon you. You have crossed the finish line, now is the appointed time.

You are at the end and now, the vision will speak in your favour and not lie. Though it tarry, wait for it, having a confident expectation of good, for it is now coming to pass and will no longer tarry.”

My Light has Arisen for You in This Darkness

Yes, Gleanings from the Book of Galatians.

We saw yesterday that we have been set free from Satan, the bondage of The Law, sin, guilt and condemnation, but that we must stand fast in our liberty in Christ, never again to be entangled with the bondage of the Law, if we must enjoy our freedom.

Galatians 5:1
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

Then we hear the apostle making a very stern statement;

Galatians 5:2
Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

“Behold, I Paul say unto you”

Paul now emphatically speaking with the authority of an apostle, as a custodian of the mysteries of the Gospel of Grace, as the head to which The Gospel to the uncircumcision was committed unto, declares that,

“if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing”

Circumcision in itself is not an evil thing if done for the right reasons. The Galatians at this time were going back to circumcision as a doctrine of The Law, to make one whole after being born of God.

They did not all together reject Christ, but wanted to blend the grace of Christ with the meritorious works of The Law.

The apostle declares this to be a contrivance to Christ being The All. Either Christ is a Whole Saviour, or none at all. He is not an icing to the cake.

The apostle emphatically declares that Jesus is not a part saviour. Combining him with the rituals of the Law is setting him aside entirely, which is detrimental, because you forsake your benefits in him. You are setting aside all the benefits of the cross by going back to observe The Law.

All my two boys are circumcised, both of them on the seventh day. Why? When my first son was born, a pastor close to me pushed hard that he must be circumcised on the eight day, I would have done that but he was making it look as if, although we are now in Christ, we must observe these things to be right with God.

Saying in it in my heart, that it has been abolished, didn’t help my faith much, so I had to let my faith have its actions. I did it on the seventh day and so with my second son. I want to have all the profit Christ has offered. I will stand fast in the freedom I have in Christ as long as I can discern by the Spirit of the Lord.

Then we hear the apostle declaring;

Galatians 5:3
For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

Observe one, observe everything written in The Law. Observe circumcision; you are a debtor to fulfill the entire Law; ceremonial, moral, civil, all the laws written in Scripture.

Observe carefully the word “the whole law” not part of it as some agitate falsely today.

Every little jot, every ordinance, animal sacrifices must be returned and Christ set completely aside.

All must be observed perfectly if you desire a life of bondage, and after your failed observation, you will still not benefit from the unsearchable riches of Christ, for you deny him by such works.

But there is a better way, a new and living way, you can just rest in the finished work of Christ and bear fruits unto God. Christ is your profit, therefore you will never loose. He is the same yesterday, today and forever, hence, your blessings are intact.

You have left The Law, cling to your profit. Stay in the assurance of the Love of your father, for you will soon cash out the profit of your faith.

In an encounter with the Lord, I saw a Child of God who had felt led by the Lord to embark on this vision.

But I saw that it looked as though she was asking herself where are you Lord? Because of the dark circumstances I saw surrounding her.

She felt as though she was abandoned by the Lord in what she felt he had called her out to do.

Amidst this chaotic happenings, I felt the presence of the Lord strong with her.

Then another scene appeared where I saw her in the glory of the Lord, as she was promoted, celebrating and rejoicing in what the Lord had done for her. It was a swift deliverance.

I was led to;

Micah 7:8
Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me.

And again;

Psalms 112:3-4
Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever. Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

Then the Lord said, “I have not left you my child, I have being with you in the darkness and I tell you my light has being shining on you.

Rejoice my dear one, say to yourself ” I am rising” tell your enemy not to rejoice over you, for as long as I am your light, assuredly, you are shining!

Wealth and riches shall be in your house, your righteousness shall speak for generations.

I have seen your gracious heart, full of compassion and filled with righteousness, Now, I say to you, My light has arisen for you in this darkness.”

Fight From Victory

Yes, Gleanings from the Book of Galatians.

We saw from our last discussion, that Hagar and her son were cast out and were never to be admitted into the inheritance meant for Isaac, the child of promise.

Which things are a typology of the Covenant of The Law and its works, which have been cancelled and taken out of the way, never to have a part in he inheritance of The Covenant of Grace.

The next Chapter opens up something wonderful to behold. It says;

Galatians 5:1
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

Now Observe carefully, in the above verse, the word “therefore”.

It is used as an inference drawn or a conclusion drawn from the previous discission. The previous chapter declared the verdict of God for Abraham to cast out The Law and its works because of it’s unprofitableness in the Covenant of Grace.

Then we hear in this verse ” Stand fast therefore in the Liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free “

Beloved, it is not a sin to be free. To many today, when you preach the freedom we have in Christ, it is as though, it is a sin to be free.

The truth is that, because of the way the enemy has fought the freedom we have in Christ; a freedom from Satan, the bondage of the curse and condemnation of The Law, from sin, and from eternal death, it is often difficult for the average Christian to actually live with the Blood Cleansed Conscience.

The language in the verse above, indicates that we must contend for this freedom, if we must enjoy it.

Stand fast! we hear. This is why most of the fathers of faith fought, laying down their lives for us to have an unadulterated, highest heart desire fulfilled Christian experience here on this side of life. They fought for a purified religion, where Christ is the liberty of all Christians.

If the Church today will keenly look back at what Martin Luther fought for, you will see that a lot of our pulpits are far into spiritual adultery.

Most of our Christian fathers fought and died for the course of freedom in Christ.

If you go back to studying church history, some were burned to the stakes by the Church for fighting to restore the gospel of the free grace of Christ back to the pulpits.

You must make a decision to contend for the faith which was once delivered to the saints.

The freedom of the Christian is not licentiousness, neither is it lasciviousness, but it is the deliverance from the bondage of sin, the curse of The Law, from guilt and condemnation. It is an alienation from eternal death, into the unmerited, unearned, unconditional and invaluable blessings of The Christ.

Then we hear “and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage”

Imagine the hard labour an oxen does as it carries heavy yokes on its back. This is what it means to go back to the bondage of trying to please God by the works of the law. Trying to win God’s favour by merits.

The word bondage above is vast in meaning, when you fall back into this bondage, you fall back under the authority of Satan, the curse of the law, Sin, guilt and condemnation.

You make your self a prey to these things by rejecting your position as a child of promise, a child of God qualified by birth, born with the rights to rule as an heir of all things in Christ.

Dear beloved, you must stand fast, anywhere you turn today there are voices of discouragement fueled by the enemy as it has always being.

There is no promise from the word of God that all Christians will enjoy this rest on this side of life. It clearly says some will not enter by reason of unbelief. Those that enter, will enter by ferocious warfare. There is a conscious labouring involved. This is why we are told;

Hebrews 4:11
Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

Stand fast in your liberty in Christ, God has already blessed you with invaluable blessings. It does not matter what the enemy is pulling around, keep standing strong and declaring your freedom in Christ. Weeping may endure for a night, but your joy comes in the morning.

See you tomorrow….

In an encounter with the Lord “I saw a child of God, who has being in warfare, contending with the enemy in his assignment for some time now.

At the time I saw this, he had gained ascendency in the things of the spirit, and had risen high in the exercise of his authority over the enemy in his territory.

I saw the enemy show up and was looking for a way to put up a fight.

But at this time, I saw that this child of God was feeling deep within himself, that he had already overcome, and would not fight as before, but I saw him run off to the hills declaring his victory with Joy.

I was led to:

John 16:33
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Matthew 5:14
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

1 John 4:4
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

Then the Lord said “My beloved Child, I see the contentions you have faced. You have had tribulations, troubles that have made the faith of others to fail them.

But you have stood strong, gaining the ascendency in the exercise of your authority in me. Now, be Joyful my Child, I have already given you the victory.

I see you putting up a new weapon of warfare, fighting from the top, right on top of the hill, for you a city set upon the hill that cannot be hidden. You will not be thrown down, for I have already overcome the world.

Fight from victory with the joy of your father, for you are born of Me, and have overcome the world.”

Your God is Doing a New Thing

Yes, Gleanings from the Book of Galatians. We saw from our last discussion, as Ishmael, the child born after the flesh, persecuted Isaac, the child born after the Spirit.

The former, typifying the Covenant of the Law, and the latter, the Covenant of Grace.

And so, the apostle says, even so it is now, those under the bondage of the Covenant of the Law, persecute those under the Covenant of the free Grace of God.

Galatians 4:29
But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.

As this was happening in the days of Ishmael and Isaac, there was a verdict drawn by God. The God of the whole earth judged, and made his decision as it pertained the Covenant of the Law and the Covenant of Grace.

We hear this;

Galatians 4:30
Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.

Observe this statement “Cast out the bondwoman and her son”

This is God’s verdict, cast out the Law and its works, for by the works of the law, there shall no flesh be justified before God. The works of the law have no part in the inheritance.

This is why we hear;

Hebrews 7:18-19
For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof. For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.

The word used above for disannulling is the Greek word athetesis, which means a cancellation. Strong’s Concordance (G115).

The Law is terminated. It is cancelled and taken out of the way. It has no part any longer in the Covenant of Grace. Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to all that believe.

The Law was weak, it profited no one, it never made anyone perfect, but only kept mocking at the weaknesses of the Jews by its incessant demands.

Their consciences were never free from guilt and condemnation, even after trying to fulfil its demands.

But The LORD has declared, cast out the bondwoman and her son; cast out the Law and all its works, And walk away free, beloved of the Lord; for Jesus has already nailed the handwriting of ordinances to the cross.

You are special, you are already an heir, you do not need to fight to be. You already are a possessor of the blessings of the Covenant of Grace. Works have no place in this covenant.

This is why we hear;

Galatians 4:31
So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.

We are born from the womb of freedom. Our entire lives are knitted with the blessings of the covenant.

Rejoice! It just a temptation. The covenant of God is already speaking on your behalf.

In an encounter with the Lord, I saw a child of God, this one has being labouring in the vision of God, but it was looking as though she was not making progress.

I saw that she was now in a place where all her efforts in building the vision had failed.

She decided to relinquish the work entirely to God.

As she left and was on her own waiting upon the Lord, I saw the Lord appear, but something strange happened, the Lord totally abandoned her work and was rebuilding something new in the same place.

I saw this child of God come looking with absolute surprise at the speed the Lord had built the vision.

I was led to:

Isaiah 43:19
Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

And again,

Amos 9:13-15 MSG, “ “Yes indeed, it won’t be long now.” GOD ’s Decree. “Things are going to happen so fast your head will swim, one thing fast on the heels of the other. You won’t be able to keep up. Everything will be happening at once—and everywhere you look, blessings! Blessings like wine pouring off the mountains and hills.

Then the Lord said, “Wait my child, Wait patiently my beloved for my salvation. I have seen your labour, and I have also seen how much you have desired fruit but have not found.

See, this is what I say, I, even I your God is doing a new thing. I AM doing a whole new work for you my child. I AM rebuilding the ruined places. Rest in my love and have confidence in Me.

It won’t be long, you will experience unprecedented growth beyond your imagination. I AM pouring out blessings upon you that you won’t be able to contain.

Watch as things suddenly kick off in a moment. I AM overwhelming you with my fullness. Blessings upon you like wine pouring off the mountains and hills.”
