Galatians 2:15

[God] disarmed the principalities and powers that were ranged against us and made a bold display and public example of them, in triumphing over them in Him and in it [the cross]. Colossians 2:15

All of our enemies have been disarmed! That is one terrific statement of Truth. How many times have you heard in Church someone say that satan attacked them this week? The question is what did he attack you with? Because the Truth is that he has been disarmed so he has no weapons. There is nothing that he can come at us with and as we studied yesterday we can’t break any laws either, because there are now no laws for us to break. So that means that there is now no condemnation for us. Our glory is that we now live in complete and total liberty because of Jesus’ success. 

In [this] freedom Christ has made us free [and completely liberated us]; stand fast then, and do not be hampered and held ensnared and submit again to a yoke of slavery [which you have once put off]. Galatians 5:1

We have been completely and totally liberated by Christ, so don’t let anyone try to bring you back into bondage. Look around religion and see what so many so called Christian leaders are trying to do to us. We are constantly being condemned by these wolves for our lifestyles, maybe we drink, maybe we are going through a divorce, maybe we are a homosexual, maybe we don’t belong to their denomination, or whatever else preachers like these like to point out about us. But here is the Truth, according to the Bible even our own righteousness is as filthy rags. We don’t have any relationship with our Father based on our works or our own efforts, we have a relationship with our Father that is based solely on the free Grace that He Alone gives. 

So stop beating yourself up. We all have faults, but not one of those faults will ever keep our Father from being in us or for us. We enjoy the peace that Jesus will clean up what is needed in us. A plant does not prune itself, the gardner does, and God is our Gardener. A lump of clay does not mold itself, the potter does and Jesus is our Potter. Sheep do not protect themselves, the shepherd does and Jesus is our Shepherd. So whatever our faults are, and I am sure that they are many, are up to our Head, which is Jesus, to take care of. This Truth allows us to relax and be assured that they will be taken care of. 

Our faults do not allow satan to attack us or harm us, because he has been disarmed. Our faults do not allow us to be convicted with, because we are now dead to laws. We may have faults, but those faults do not stop us from being one with Perfection and Jesus’ perfection keeps us and saves us to the uttermost. We are righteous and perfect right now because of Grace, so why take thought for shortcomings? The Truth is when we actually are empowered by the Holy Spirit to stop taking thought for our faults is when our faults will disappear from us.  

We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose. For those whom He foreknew [of whom He was aware and loved beforehand], He also destined from the beginning [foreordaining them] to be molded into the image of His Son [and share inwardly His likeness], that He might become the firstborn among many brethren. And those whom He thus foreordained, He also called; and those whom He called, He also justified (acquitted, made righteous, putting them into right standing with Himself). And those whom He justified, He also glorified [raising them to a heavenly dignity and condition or state of being]. What then shall we say to [all] this? If God is for us, who [can be] against us? [Who can be our foe, if God is on our side?] Romans 8:28-31
