Bewitched – Freedom in the Spirit

Galatians 3:1 – bewitched, who gave you the evil eye?

  • Passion trans. says who cast a spell on you.

  • Who’s control have you come under?

Manipulation, intimidation, domination.

  • One imposing their will over your will.

Paul Vs. The Judaizers.

  • Gal. 3:3 – starting in the spirit, now reverting to the flesh.

  • You started off free now back in bondage in the flesh.

Jesus Vs. Everyone

  • John the Baptist, Mary, the disciples and Pharisee’s

  • Jesus only did what He was seeing and hearing from the Father

Delegated Authority

  • God has established authority

  • Marriage, Home, Family, Workplace, Church and Government.

  • For the purpose to accomplish the will of God without interference.

You Vs, Everyone else – Free to hear and do without interference.

1 Samual 15:23 – King Saul

  • Rebellion as witchcraft

  • Stubbornness' is as iniquity and idolatry.

  • Imposing your will over God’s

  • Jesus – not my will but yours...

  • Saul lost kingship – Rom. 5:17

Elijah, Ahab and Jezebel – a perfect OT picture of Gal,.3:1

  • Elijah – the voice and will of God.

  • Ahab – no backbone to perform the will of God.

  • Jezebel – one who opposes the will of God and others.

  • Rev. 2:20 – a church who tolerates the spirit of Jezebel.

Be filled with the Spirit – come under His control.

  • Don’t get drunk with wine – this is about coming under the control of a substance or a person.

  • Walk in the Spirit – keep in step with the spirit by remaining under His control.

  • It was for freedom that Christ set us free, so we are not to come under the control of anyone but God.
