“They zealously court you, but for no good; yes, they want to exclude you, that you may be zealous for them.” Galatians 4:17

Paul was teaching the Galatians the way of Christ Jesus, and for that reason the teachers of Judaism came to the Galatians to persuade them to live by the laws of the Old Testament. The teachings of the Gospel of Christ were being undone, and the Galatians were abandoning their born-again experience that happened within their heart and mind. They were being excluded from fellowship with God through Jesus Christ. The Jewish teachers were very persistent, unstoppable, zealous, and aggressive in their demand for the Galatians to turn to Judaism and away from Jesus Christ.

We live in a world where the entity that has power over physiology has set itself within the temple of God, our body, through thoughts, words, feelings, and behaviors. It sets itself up as God, within us, to persuade everyone to choose it over Jesus Christ, this is the entity “…who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 Click here for a post on the “man of sin”. This entity wants to exclude us from the family of Jesus Christ and is extremely persistent in doing so.

 “But it is good to be zealous in a good thing always, and not only when I am present with you.” Galatians 4:18

The entity that has power over physiology comes across as an angel of light [2 Corinthians 11:14-15]as it persuades people it intends to clean up the environment, save the planet and humanity from destruction. Everyone should be for the 17 goals of the United Nations, which are global goals, which is the global government. Except, those goals exclude belief in God, sees no need for Jesus Christ, and does not see the Holy Spirit as a necessary part of the human being. The “good thing” of the global goals is actually the formation of the global government of the beast as spoken about in Daniel 8:1-14. Daniel speaks of how the United Nations is formed immediately after WW2 to create a one world government without God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.

As members of the family of God, we want to be zealous for good works that has to do with bringing the Holy Spirit to the hearts of people through Jesus Christ. We want people to be part of the New Jerusalem in the new heaven and earth, not to be deceived in thinking heaven or another Garden of Eden can be created on this earth. The Kingdom of God doesn’t come by 17 goals or a “ten-year plan”, but comes quickly like a flash of lightening, “For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.”Matthew 24:27

“My little children, for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you, I would like to be present with you now and to change my tone; for I have doubts about you.” Galatians 4:19-20

Paul worked very hard, from his conversion to his death, to give birth to Christ within the hearts and minds of everyone who would receive Him. Today, we know Paul did a miraculous job at giving birth to Christianity. Within Paul’s heart was an earnest desire to be able to speak with the Galatians in a way that expressed 100% belief in their dedication to Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, he had doubts about their devotion to Jesus.

Let us be the Christians that the Holy-Spirit-filled Paul would expect us to be. Christians who want to share our born-again experience with others, to share how we had a change of heart from one lifestyle to lead us on a walk in the Spirit of Christ. Afterall, our born-again experience is the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:11
