Galatians 5:1-14

We want you to encounter God, everywhere in your life

We want to move from spectators to participators in the kingdom

Our gathering nights are the huddle: the real game is out of these walls

When you think of the word “freedom” what do you think about?

We have to take our freedom in Christ just as seriously as a nation takes its freedom and protects it.

The Galatians started to learn and believe that they had to work towards their salvation. Paul is angry.

Someone preached a different gospel and they believed it.

Jesus set us free from:

1. Performance (law and works) - Galatians 5:3-4, Galatians 3:18 - but we stand on promise
2. Lies - Galatians 5:7-9 - we stand on gods truth
3. Sin - Galatians 4:3-7, Romans 6:10-11, 14 - we stand on sonship

2 Corinthians 10:3-4

[3] For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. [4] For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.

Your freedom is not just for you, our freedom is to share with and free others

Our freedom is to love one another

Our freedom is to give to the world the love of God

Galatians 5:22-23

[22] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, [23] gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

Private:

My own inaction and lack of holding on to and walking out in the truth of God’s word for me as His heir. I have not fully believed, in my heart that all of his promises and power is for me as well.

Galatians 5:1

Don’t submit again to a yoke of slavery

I would continuously submit again to slavery. Over and over again.

Say it: I’m in bondage to “my unrighteous anger, expectations, and desires”

Break it: in Jesus name I break the lie of “my unrighteous anger, expectations, and desires” over my life

Shake it: I turn and run from “my unrighteous anger, expectations, and desires” and they no longer have dominion over me, I have been set free.

Walk it: Help me in your power Holy Spirit,I am empowered to walk this out. I am no longer in bondage to this or anything not of you father.

I no longer see me as “I think” I am, but I see and am who “God says” I am.

When I have theses thoughts, I will yield all to the Spirit. I am free.

I am only who God has declared me to be in Jesus. Simply a son of the most high with all privileges and honor and power given to me through the blood of his son. I bear my cross daily as he bore for me so that I crucify the flesh and experience his power and freedom. I declare what is dead to be dead and what is alive to be alive.

I am not a victim, I am a victor.

What is his, is mine! Not because I have said it, but because he has declared it in power and I can only receive it!
