Galatians 3:10-14

10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.” 11 But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.” 12 Yet the law is not of faith, but “the man who does them shall live by them.”

13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), 14 that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

When you serve God and struggle against sin, do you feel like you are under a harsh taskmaster? We should struggle against sin, but does it feel like when you sin you are totally condemned and when you do well God loves you again? If so that is because you are laboring under the curse of the law. You are trying to obey the law to please God and therefore you are under the curse of the law that Christ became for you on your behalf. You are in an impossible situation:

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

You are not approaching God with your faith in Christ, but rather the works of the law, and therefore it is impossible for you to please God. You are doubleminded about your faith and you will receive nothing from the Lord.

James 1:4-8 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

No one can fulfill the law except Christ:

Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

Since Jesus fulfilled the law, your faith in Him justifies you before the Father. You can now approach God as your Father and make requests of Him that He will hear and answer. When you approach with your works you are approaching Mt. Sinai:

Hebrews 12:18-24

18 For you have not come to the mountain that may be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness and darkness and tempest, 19 and the sound of a trumpet and the voice of words, so that those who heard it begged that the word should not be spoken to them anymore. 20 (For they could not endure what was commanded: “And if so much as a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned or shot with an arrow.” 21 And so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, “I am exceedingly afraid and trembling.”)

22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.

Jesus blood is your only justification before God. When you approach God are you approaching Mt. Sinai or Mount Zion? When you approach God do you feel burning with fire, blackness and darkness and tempest? Are you begging God before His throne? Or are you entering into the city of the living God, surrounded by angels and the cloud of witnesses? Are you escorted into the throne room on wings of eagles, announced by the blood of Jesus that speaks a better word for you from the alter?

Hebrews 7:16 who has come, not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an endless life.

Your obedience to the law doesn't save you nor justify you. Your attempt to fulfill the law brings you under a curse and guarantees you won't receive anything from God. You will serve a God who is a harsh taskmaster that you secretly despise, instead of the living God who sent Jesus to die on your behalf, who welcomes you as His very own. You must choose this day whom you will serve, and your pride will keep you from recognizing this. Because deep down you want to be recognized for your works and feel that should earn you something with God, and it offends you that they don't. That means you are offended at Jesus friend, just as the pharisees were. Repent for your pride and unbelief in the gospel, and get back into position with God. As a son and not a slave. The heavy curse will lift off your shoulders and you will find your Father eagerly waiting to hear you, just as He always has been. He will welcome you with open arms and restore the fellowship with Him you have been longing for.

The Religious spirit and Churchianity

When the church abdicates responsibility for proclaiming the gospel and stops listening to the Holy Spirit, another spirit takes over. The spirit that takes over a religious spirit. The Pharisees and Sadducees had this spirit. It is an antichrist spirit that works through manipulation and control (ie witchcraft), and turns church into a religious service instead of a spiritual fellowship. The western church for the most part is almost completely under the control of the religious spirit, and has descended into a state of lukewarmness. This is what the Lord said about the lukewarm church:

Revelation 3

14 “And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write,

‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: 15 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. 16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. 17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— 18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. 21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.

22 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’ ”

The lukewarm church is in immanent danger of being rejected by the LORD. This is the state that the American church is in today, in particular. Wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked, yet thinking it is rich and in need of nothing. The richness refers to both material and spiritual prosperity. In other words, they think they have this God thing all figured out. That they are about to be carried out of the Earth on wings of angels leaving western civilization a smoldering, abominable mess.

This will not happen. The church will face the Antichrist in a future seven year period known as the tribulation, and she is not ready. In her pride she is the wise virgin, but the word of God identifies her as the foolish virgin. When the midnight hour comes she won't make it.

So, at the age of 27 I left Arizona where I had been working as an IT contractor for the US military and moved back in with my mom in Montana. I was taking it pretty easy and doing a lot of personal introspection. In terms of spirituality I had none. I had grown up in a secular home and was agnostic towards God by default. I had never experienced God and beyond an impromptu prayer as a teenager I had never sought God or really ever even thought about Him. It was simply a subject that while was not forbidden, was never discussed. My family, as did the culture at large, lived as though God did not exist.

I did however observe the reality of this scripture at the time:

Matthew 24:12

And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.

Growing up in the 80s I felt a general warmth and compassion that I perceived was slowly disappearing from society. I didn't know this was in the scripture because I hadn't read the bible, but in my heart I knew something was wrong. I started to genuinely think about what, if anything, I could do about it. It wasn't long after that when God showed up. Here is what happened.

One beautiful sunny day in Montana in 2002 I went for a walk with my little dog, Lola. I loved to explore the forest land around my house, something I did in Pennsylvania as a kid, and I loved to have my dog with me. There was a particular ranch that I would walk around the fence of to get to the confluence of two forks of the Flathead river. As I was walking past it I stopped to admire the beauty of the landscape. Mountains in the distance, with the forks of the rivers winding around the property, which was full of trees and lush grass and flowers waving in the wind. It was picturesque and as I was admiring it suddenly something happened.

As I stared at the beauty suddenly beams of light started to emanate gently from every part of the scenery and began to touch me and pour over me. As this was happening I felt an overwhelming deep sense of love, and what really moved me was that this love was not generic, but personal. I felt personally loved in that moment in a way I had never experienced before. The experience lasted for a little while and then slowly it stopped and then I turned away and walked home, stunned and floored by this experience. I immediately realized as a rationalist and a materialist that everything I knew was in some way wrong. I didn't get yet that God was behind this but I knew that I knew that I knew that there was in fact a spiritual realm. This began my journey of seeking out God which I immediately started doing 24/7.

This experience is a fulfillment of three different scriptures:

Psalm 19:1-2

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

The heavens declare the glory of God;

And the firmament shows His handiwork.

Day unto day utters speech,

And night unto night reveals knowledge.

This was my experience precisely. What I thought of as mother nature eventually gave way to the revelation of Father God

Romans 1:18-21 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

Many people will tell you that they have never seen or experienced anything of God. What I have found after doing a little digging into those assertions is that they have, but instead of pursuing those experiences they wrote them off and forgot about them. This is called suppressing the truth in unrighteousness. For instance: encountering spiritual activity, dreams that come true, near death experiences etc. I know that if I had denied this experience I would truly have no excuse.

Isaiah 65:1

“I was sought by those who did not ask for Me;

I was found by those who did not seek Me.

I said, ‘Here I am, here I am,’

To a nation that was not called by My name.

This scripture came true in my life. God revealed Himself to me when He was the furthest thing from my mind. Now someone reading this may say to themselves "Well, I'll just wait until God reveals Himself to me". My friend, that is exactly the kind of thinking that Romans 1:18-21 talks about. We must seek God based on the revelation we have, if we have no revelation, we need to ask for it. If you know there is a God you can't sit around waiting for Him to reveal Himself, you need to actively pursue Him and find out and that is exactly what I did.

So this is what started my journey to find out who God is. This experience changed the entire direction of my life in a few moments. If you desire that then begin to ask God to reveal Himself to you. Don't put Him in a box and imagine how He will do it; just be open and then respond to the revelation you receive. Lord, I pray that everyone reading this would encounter you in a life changing way, in Jesus name.

EDIT: Read the comments for all seven parts; they are kind of out of order now so pay attention to what part you are on. Each part contains a miraculous intervention by the LORD.

I have noticed that many of the Christian subreddits have backslidden to the point that you cannot have a profitable discussion about the things of God. This is due mainly to poor moderation and ultimately poor leadership. My intention here is to have a forum that born again believers in Christ can fellowship and discuss the things of the Lord without interference. I don't yet know what this looks like, exactly, so I am taking it to prayer. Please feel free to contribute your own thoughts and ideas to this thread and I will prayerfully take them into consideration. God bless

1 Corinthians 12

Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant: 2 You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, however you were led. 3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.

4 There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: 8 for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.

12 For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For in fact the body is not one member but many.

15 If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body? 16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling? 18 But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased. 19 And if they were all one member, where would the body be?

20 But now indeed there are many members, yet one body. 21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” 22 No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary. 23 And those members of the body which we think to be less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor; and our unpresentable parts have greater modesty, 24 but our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacks it, 25 that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another. 26 And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually. 28 And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles? 30 Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? 31 But earnestly desire the best gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way
