Galatians 5:16-23 teaches that at any moment we are either walking by the Holy Spirit or according to the sin nature. Walking by the Spirit, enjoying fellowship with God, walking in the light are virtually synonymous. During these times, the Holy Spirit is working in us to illuminate our minds to the truth of Scripture and to challenge us to apply what we learn. But when we sin, we begin to live based on the sin nature. Our works do not count for eternity. The only way to recover is to confess (admit, acknowledge) our sin to God the Father and we are instantly forgiven, cleansed, and recover our spiritual walk (1 John 1:9). Please make sure you are walking by the Spirit before you begin your Bible study, so it will be spiritually profitable.

See that they employed pagan methods and compromised with their enemies. Find out what the Angel of the Lord, the pre-incarnate Jesus Christ, said when He confronted them and gave them a warning. Just as Israel was tested during this time, the Church today is being tested in this dark period of decline.

Why were the ancient Israelites constantly in turmoil and having to fight off their enemies? Listen to this fascinating message to learn about the cycles of evil that happened when the people of Israel abandoned God and were totally influenced by the pagan gods inspired by Satan. Find out that God in His grace delivered them over and over but they returned to their evil ways throughout much of their history. Realize that we face the same pagan influences today and must choose to trust God rather than live like those around us.
