“STAND FAST!”

Galatians 5:1                                 (KJV)

“1 “STAND FAST” therefore in the liberty wherewith CHRIST hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.”

There are MANY scriptures that can be shared about “setting ourselves apart” from “this world” and its entrapments.  The enemy is cunningly deceptive like no other creature (Genesis 3:1)!  When will we learn to “identify and recognize” him and walk closely with ALMIGHTY GOD to ward the enemy away?  

Since the beginning of time mankind has been sold the lie that the Spirit World is some sort of “paranormal” detached from what we see as the “real world”.  However, John 4:24 says GOD IS SPIRIT, and HE is NOT “paranormal”!  HE just has to be connected to while HE is calling in order for us to have a RELATIONSHIP with.  

But “this world”, with satan as its leader, strives to keep us so busy that we can’t HEAR FROM GOD nor SEE HIM (John 14:17)!  Matthew 6:24 says “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve GOD and mammon (or money).”  

The time for choosing is drawing to an end!  JESUS will soon return to claim HIS Bride.  Will you be found faithful to HIM?  Or will you still be busy trying to get ahead in “this world”?  “STAND FAST” therefore in the liberty wherewith CHRIST hath made us free, and BE NOT ENTANGLED again with the yoke of bondage” is not a suggestion for a more successful pilgrimage through this earthly life.  “STAND FAST” is a command to battle the enemy who WILL attack us, because JESUS lives in our SPIRITS!
