Never Look Back

Galatians 3:1-4


 "O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified? ² This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? ³ Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh? ⁴ Have you suffered so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain?"


Verse 3 asks our ancestors, "O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth.  God asks, that we let His truth set us free.  We are to be set free from every bondage, that keeps us from praising Him, morning, noon, and night.  If Father God, His Son, Holy Spirit, and multitude of Angels who encamp us, are not keeping our minds on our inheritances, then satan is taunting us.  "Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us."  The verse continues saying, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed.  These demons were working on their minds so evil like, that, though they had seen the resurrection they still walked in sin.  The story is so heartbreaking, that when the eyewitnesses of this miraculous event told officials, the officials paid them off to keep quiet.  I do believe we still hear of these type of situations today?  We have been mistaking God and His word for too long.  His word is the same yesterday, today, and forever.  It could be a beautiful sight today, if all would bow their heads and confess with their tongues, that Jesus Christ is Lord.  This is what He commands and this is what He blesses.  Our words, deeds, and actions, must be justified before His throne.  God says, we are the captains of our salvation, and must work it out with fear and trembling.  He is our Father Who loves us, and will discipline us as His children.  True faith in God is all that will bring peace to our world. We must begin this journey in faith and never look back.


(Psalms 34:8-9)  "Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him."


Blessings to all who look forward to the wonderful blessings ahead,
