What has happened to all your joy? I can testify that, if you could have done so, you would have torn out your eyes & given them to me. (Galatians 4:15). Have you lost your joy? Paul sensed that the Galatians had lost the joy of their salvation  because of legalism. Legalism can take away joy because it makes people feel guilty rather than loved. It produces self hatred rather than humility. It stresses performance over relationship. It points out how far short we fall rather than how far we have come because of what Christ did for us. If you feel guilty & inadequate, check your focus. Are you living by faith in Christ or by trying to live up to the demands & expectations of others? Thank you Jesus.  Good morning Holy Spirit. Prayer: Lord Jesus, legalism is a brand of Christian religion. It is a combination of man made rules & the Word of God. It is creating divisions in the church worldwide, peddling heresies, the adulterated Word, etc. Deliver us from this situation. Your Word delivers. Send your Word & deliver us from this grave situation. Fill us with your love joy & peace. Make us righteous, pure & holy. As we have prayed, put your angels to action. Thank you Jesus for hearing & answering my prayer. Amen. God bless you all.

 This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their minds & write them on their hearts. I will be their God, & they will be My people. No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying: Know the Lord, because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest. (Hebrews 8:10-11). If our hearts are not changed, following God's rules will be unpleasant & difficult.  We will rebel against being told how to live the Christian way. The Holy Spirit, however, gives us new desires, helping us wanting to obey God. With new hearts, hearts of flesh & not hearts of stone, we will find that serving God is our greatest joy. Under God's new covenant, God's law is inside us & not outside, ie, on a tablet of stone. No, it's written in our hearts. It is no longer an external set of rules & principles. The Holy Spirit reminds us of Christ's words, activates our ...

 The Lord will punish with His sword, His fierce, great & powerful sword. Leviathan the gliding serpent, Leviathan the coiling serpent: He will slay the monster of the sea. (Isaiah 27: 1). This chapter is about deliverance of Israel. God has a day in which He is going to judge all of us in regards to sin & righteousness. Some may say: we have been hearing about judgement since we were young, we do not think that this is true. Let me answer you this way: it is written: The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting any to perish, but everyone to come to REPENTANCE. The day of the Lord will come like a thief. I urge you all: Once connected to God through Christ, stay connected, so that you will be ready all the time. How do we prepare on a personal level? Read or study His Word daily, digest it, internalize it, obey its principles & pass it on to others so that they too may be saved & delivered as we are. ...
