Who are you? Who do you think you are? Are you a Galatian? Are you a Job? Read and find out.
Take a hard look at yourself. Be brutally honest. Doing anything evil is hard. Doing good to remove evil is even harder. It is the outcome that reveals the other side. If you find yourself in the same place, or an even harder place, the outcome succumbs to more wickedness, or the reward of a life filled with mercy and goodness for life. You either find yourself dealing with a temporary fix when you can have a life sentence. Who are you?
Are you a Galatian or a Job? It is powerful and most hard core to obey the commandments of the Spirit of God. No one is more criticized, more mocked, more taunted, more provoked, more accused, more… than anyone who promotes a life filled with mercy and goodness. The temporary fix is good for a moment and then the heavy weight of what you tell yourself you don’t want to do, but do. Someone or something must have bewitched you. Filled your being with absolute chaos. Even the substance abuse is only temporary, because you may feel absent from what happened or what others did to you, but it isn’t the source of hope. It just makes it worse upon the pure absence and numb to the curse that’s placed upon you. Even if you didn’t do anything or ask for it. The deeds and intentions of the abuser keep you slaved to what they did. And so, before you know it you are acting like them without any rhyme or reason, which makes existing all the more bewitched.
If you will set your heart right–Adonai is my shepherd. If you will spread out your hands toward him–I lack nothing. He has me lay down in grassy pastures. If you will put your iniquity at a distance and not let unrighteousness remain in your tents, –he leads me by quiet waters, he restores my inner person (soul). Then when you lift up my face, there will be no defect, you will be firm and free from fear–He guides me in right paths for the sake of his own name. For you will forget your misery, you will remember it like the noonday; even its darkness will be like morning–Even if I pass through death-dark ravines I will fear no evil; or disaster, for you are with me. You will be confident, because there is hope–Your rod and staff reassure me. You will look around you and lie down secure, you will rest, and no one will make you afraid–you prepare a table for me, even as enemies watch; you anoint my head with oil from an overflowing cup. Many will seek your favor, but the eyes of the wicked will fail [to find comfort]–Goodness and mercy will pursue me every day of my life. They will find no way to escape, and their hope will turn to complete disappointment–And I will live in the house of the Lord (Adonai) for years and years, [and years] to come.
Galatians make it worse, because they have heard the good news before. They have been shown the way to a good life, but to their bewitchment as Job describes, they are in a whirl of confusion, a total state of stupid, and dissatisfaction: true criticism. True mockery. True torment. True provocation. Truly accused. True absence. The weight of boomerang physical whiplash of the spirits.
Job and the Psalms are very good. It is the outcome that deteremines the fate in which you have a say to accept or reject. The other side of the bewitching is the promises of a good life fulfilled based on the word of the Spirit of God. Reduce all the spirits for one Great Spirit. Do so much more with meaning and purpose with a single spirit that’s truly multifold and multidimensional. The conditions of Job set up invitation that if you condition appropriately, then the 23 acts of Psalms will take affect the moment you do it. Psalms 23 removes the condition into a more permanent life sentence. Let’s look at it again.
Job is what’s require of you. Remove Job and put your name there: YOU!
If you set your heart right,
If you will spread out your hands toward him,
If you will put your iniquity at a distance and let not unrighteousness remain in your tents,
Then when you lift up your face,
there will be no defect,
you will be firm and free from fear.
For you will not forget your misery;
You will remember it like the noonday;
even its darkness will be like morning.
You will look around you and lie down secure,
you will rest, and no one will make you afraid.
Many will seek your favor,
but the eyes of the wicked will fail to find comfort.
They will find no way to escape,
and their hope will turn to complete disappointment.
Job 11:13-20 CJB
God will meet conditions, one by one, because you aligned your being in his invitation. YOU did the harder work without giving up. It’s okay and quite healthy to let go without giving up. There’s true victory in it so long as you reach the other side. You can and will declare:
Adonai is my Shepherd,
I lack nothing.
He has me lie down in grassy pastures,
he leads me by quiet water,
he restores my inner person [soul].
He guides me in right paths for the sake of his own name.
Even if I pass through death-dark ravines,
I will fear no evil [no disaster],
for you are with me,
Your rod and staff reassure me [comfort me].
You prepare a table for me,
even as enemies watch;
you anoint my head with oil from an overflowing cup.
Goodness and grace will pursue me every day of my life;
and I will live in the house of the Lord (Adonai) for years, and years [and years] to come.
Psalm 23 CJB
Hear and be faithful to what you hear unlocks the whole bewitched culture. Never to return if you hold to what you hear, it will surely come. Look at a long history of those who did hear and was faithful long before Christ came to Earth. The whole bewitched culture is the proof that put Jesus to death, as though he were a criminal. He was the perfect person who was fully goodness and grace and mercy. The bewitchment blinded men to kill, steal, and destroy what was truly blessed and called good. He went the Job path and then conquered Psalm 23, and still, we act like Galatians because we commit to observe a written law as an observance we rejected the rest of the conditions. In returned, boomeranged our bewitchment deeper. However, as you continue to follow the story, Jesus remained faithful to what he heard, even at the moment of being forsaken by his own father, because Adonai cannot look at sin.
True faithfulness is to let go of what was done to you so that you don’t have to act out on continuing the cursed life. You were meant for more than to live bewitched. Those who are full of grace and goodness have been where you are, and are witnesses who have made it to that other side. They are willing to go back for you so that you can see and be apart of that same grace and goodness and mercy. There’s a life sentence of those substances that are worth beyond a lifetime that affect generations. Abraham was so faithful in what he heard, Adonai blessed him with thousands upon thousands of generations long after him. Jesus did it even when God forsaken him that Jesus conquered the cursed life permanently. Goodness and grace and mercy are true super powers.
So, who are you?
