THE NATURE OF THE KINGDOM

What is the kingdom of God? The Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink, but of living a life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Even if we are right in our convictions, we are still accountable to how we treat other believers regarding our convictions. It is the Spirt of Christ in Christians that empowers us to love others, to have a higher regard for the conscience of fellow believers, and thus surrender our own preferences but not our convictions. Accept other believers who are weak in faith, and don't argue with them about what they think is right or wrong. Both are using their faith to honor God. He's the only one who can judge us.

The main concern Paul has in the churches of Galatia is legalism. Legalism is man's way of defining scripture. It is the opposite of giving control to the Holy Spirit. Paul wastes no time in his letter to the Galatians correcting this error and speaking against those perpetrators of the false teaching and those preaching misinformation. Neither should we be slow in addressing known error because a little leaven can quickly affect the whole. We have in our society much misinformation in politics and in places that you would not expect, like the church.

The fact that Jesus took our curses on the Cross is the essential basis for our being able to break the power of any generational curse that are operating in our lives or in the lives of the people to whom we minister. According to Galatians 3:13, Jesus through the cross of Calvary made it possible for us to receive freedom from ALL generational curses. Your redemption from sin, transgression (trespasses),and iniquities were purchased once and for all by Jesus Christ through His death, burial, and resurrection. The New Covenant signed with the blood of Jesus frees mankind from sin and death. You can be free also.

FREEDOM FROM WORRY Matthew 6:25-34

Play Episode Listen Later Jun 7, 2021 15:15


Worry is a common attribute among people, even those that say they are believers. Worry is similar to the actions of a rocking chair; constant movement but you are staying in the same place. Whereas, being concerned will produce actions that address the concern. For many people, this is a hard problem to overcome; especially for those who like to be in control. However, at the root of all worry; there is a lack of trust or faith in God. Worry is something that will or won't happen; which causes anxiety and stress. Some reports state that over 90% of what we worry about never happens. Philippians 4:6 says "Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God". Lets see what Jesus says about how to be freed from worry:

Micaiah spoke the truth. Even though it resulted in ill treatment and prison, he still spoke the truth. No matter if he got word that the king's 400 prophets were saying something different than what God was saying to him. He still spoke what God told him. In our democratic society the majority often rules and makes the decisions. However, that does not mean the majority is always correct; e.g., the "Christian" churches for many years agreed with and supported slavery. It is better to stand for truth, even if you are the only one, than to follow the masses into destruction.
