I am writing this short message on the 5th of November 2025.
This morning, I began reading the 1st letter that the apostle Paul penned … his letter to the Galatians.
Galatians 1
vs1 ‘…Paul, an apostle, not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead…’
vs2 ‘…and all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia…’
vs3 ‘…grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ…’
vs4 ‘…who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father…’
vs5 ‘…to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen…’ AKJV
This could easily be made into a prayer that we each could say every morning … maybe as we first lie awake in our beds, or maybe as we take our first step out of our house, as we begin a new day.
Here might be a prayer that we say every day:
Jesus, thank You for Your GIFT of Salvation when You died on the cross, giving up Your life so that we each could be free from our sins, ALL of them. Be with us today Jesus as we confront the evil that is all around us today in this world that we are going to encounter. I will love You Jesus, forever. Amen.
What a way to begin a new day.
Evil is ALL around us today, we are only going to be able to make it if we keep Jesus on our minds and always out in front of us.
This has been the message I have voiced for years now; we need to FOLLOW in Jesus’ footsteps. There is no need for us to continuously be breaking new trails, Jesus has already done the hard work for us, we need to be wise and let Him lead the way for us.
Continue reading in Galatians and Paul states how he is ‘marveled’ at how people have been so easily swayed into following other gospels, or maybe in other words, how so many people have been led down other footsteps or trails not made by Jesus Himself.
This world is full of man-made religions, mostly focusing on Jesus’ earthly ministry when He preached trying to save the Jewish nation, but His Chosen people looked more favorably at their own religion.
Is that not the same thing that is happening today in all of the man-made religions that are found?
Rather than people forming their lives to fit around Jesus they are looking for a religion that they can fit Jesus into the lives that they are currently living.
Where is that written in the Word of God telling us that we can do that?
Paul is shouting to all of us in vs9.
Galatians 1:9 ‘…As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed…’ AKJV
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John (MMLJ) are four (4) gospels that have never been written for us today in the 21st century. Those gospels were written to the Jewish nation back in the 1st century.
Paul gave us the new Gospel that Jesus wanted us to HEAR in 1Corinthians.
1Corinthians 15
vs1 ‘…Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand…’
vs2 ‘…by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain…’
vs3 ‘…For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures…’
vs4 ‘…and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures…’ AKJV
There is nothing written anywhere in the Word of God, where we are instructed to remain in the time from the stable to the resurrection, and then, return right back to the stable and continuously repeat, over and over again.
As Jesus was about to be ascended up into heaven, He told the remaining eleven disciples to move forward and spread His message onto the entire world, He didn’t tell them to remain in Jerusalem and only teach the Jews that came to find them so they could hear the message He wanted to be shared throughout the world.
Acts 1
vs7 ‘…And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power…’
vs8 ‘…But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth…’ AKJV
Jesus told the remaining apostles to go out into the world and preach His message, but we find in Acts 8, the men, His disciples, never left Jerusalem.
Acts 8:1 ‘…And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judæa and Samaria, except the apostles…’ AKJV
The remaining apostles had lost their leader and they were ‘lost.’ Jesus made a change and CHOSE a new teacher for the entire world.
Acts 9:15 ‘…But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel…’ AKJV
Jesus told Ananias to GO to His CHOSEN VESSEL.
The man-made religions found in the 21st century are stuck in the same place as Jesus’ remaining disciples were back in the 1st century. Stuck from the stable to the resurrection only to return right back to the stable.
To be repeated over and over again, year after year after year.
Following their own trail, in a repetitive cycle set up by Satan himself wanting to keep us from moving forward and FOLLOWING in Jesus’ footsteps.
Paul assured us the Gospel he taught was from Jesus.
Galatians 1
vs11 ‘…But I certify you, brethren, that the Gospel which was preached of me is not after man…’
vs12 ‘…For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ…’ AKJV
How clearer can God’s Word make it?
Continue in your study of the Word that God wants us to HEAR. If the message you hear at church on Sunday morning does not line up with what we are taught in the Word of God, LEAVE it and the building you are in and OPEN your Bible and LISTEN to what Jesus wants you to HEAR.
I love ALL of y’all.
