God's not trying to make you into something. He's trying to expose the real you He already sees. - Myles Munroe

The devil doesn't mind our worshiping God if it doesn't require change. - Bill Johnson
Just as Jesus Christ was the human body through which the living Spirit was ministered to mankind, so God has arranged that the believer who is alive with the Spirit of the living God, should minister that quickening life to another and thereby become a co-partner, a co-laborer together with God, - John Lake
"And no one can be my disciple who does not carry his own cross and follow me." - Luke 14:27
Expect great things from God, attempt great things for God. - William Carey

2, Inheritance in Christ
Read Galatians Chapters 4-6
Main Themes:
A defense of the Doctrine of Justification by Faith, warnings against Reversion to Jewish ceremonial laws, and a vindication of Paul's Apostleship.
Chapter 4:
Paul's criticism of the Galatian Christians for observing "days, and months, and times, and years" is a reflection of the influence of false teachers. He calls these false teachers "dogs" and "evil workers" for undermining the true gospel. (Philippians 3:2)
Chapter 5:
Freedom in Christ is not a license to live as one pleases. We are saved to a life of love and service toward others. Believers are compelled by God's grace to follow only one law -- the royal law of love. When they lapse into legalism (making keeping the law a requirement for salvation) they lose their spiritual liberty and make Christ's sacrifice of no avail. The fruit of the Spirit in the believers life is a natural result of God's grace and love in the human heart.
Chapter 6:
Paul reminds the Galatians that Jesus and His death on the cross are the central focus of the salvation story--not whether a person should be circumcised.
Affirmations (Repeat and Meditate on These as You Go Throughout the Day)
Galatians 4:7 - I am a Son and heir of God through Christ.
Galatians 4:19 - Christ is formed in me.
Galatians 5:25 - I live and walk in the Spirit.
Galatians 6:15 - Since I am in Christ Jesus, I am a new creature.
3. Dunamis Life
Christ In Me
Matthew 15:32 -- And Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, "I feel compassion for the multitude, because they have remained with Me now three days and have nothing to eat."
Observation
People saw in Jesus meekness, unlimited power and perfect love. If I would win souls, people must see in me this same Jesus.
If I would draw men to Christ in heaven, they must be eyewitnesses of Christ in me. But, if I have flagrant sin or self-righteousness, my witness is non-effective.
Into Action
What am I doing in my life that is keeping Christ from being manifested in me? (Make a list)
What is my plan of action to correct this?

Affirmation: My season of harvest awaits me! I don't allow discouragement to destroy all I've sown. God's promise is sure and backed by His character.
The heart sings because it is overflowing with Christ. Where the heart is not singing there is no melody, there is only the dreadful medley of human self-praise. - Dietrich Bonhoeffer
If you have an extra lot of testing and of suffering in your relationship with Christ, remember that He is seeking to have us as His closest companions, in fellowship with Himself not only in His glory, but in His sufferings. - T. Austin-Sparks
For we are made companions of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end. - Hebrews 3:14
Satan does not have a legal right to devour the believer, but because he is an outlaw, he will "break the law" and function as he wills until someone exercises authority over him, - Markus Bishop
When you meditate, imagine that Jesus Christ in person is about to talk to you about the most important thing in the world, Give Him your complete attention. - Francois Fenelon
Affirmation: I am fully armed with everything I need to be a super-conqueror in this life.
The ultimate Christian experience is intimate union with God. Intimacy satisfies our need for relationship and compels us to intercede in order that His Kingdom be established on earth. - Alice Smith
We can repeat doctrines at an intellecual level without imparting life. If we're content with a small measure of intimacy, then that's all we will experience. If we are willing to pay a price for deeper intimacy we will experience it. - Mike Bickle
Intercessors are acquainted with travail - they are acquainted with death. "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:13).
Prayer is a form of crucifixion, of our fellowship with Christ's cross, of our giving up our flesh to the death. - Andrew Murray
"I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death." - Phipliipans 3:10
Affirmation: I don't cave in, I don't faint - instead, I go the throne of grace - I go boldly in the name of Jesus and get the help I need.
Without true intimacy, prayer is reduced to mere liturgy and mechanical discourse. To call prayer a discipline is to relegate the Lover of our souls to just another obligation we must tend to. - Don Milam
Many in the body of Christ simply hear their emotions when they pray, and are unable to discern the difference between the enthusiasm of their feelings and the mind of the Spirit. - Steve Sampson
Isn't it incredible how man, blinded by his self-efforts, can turn something so beautiful, like spend quality time with Jesus, into a work? - Joseph Prince
I will fear no evil for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. - Psalm 23:4
Outward silence is indispensable for the cultivation and improvement of inner silence. - Jeanne Guyon

2. Inheritance in Christ
Read Galatians Chapters 1-3
Main Themes:
A defense of the Doctrine of Justification by Faith, warnings against Reversion to Jewish ceremonial laws, and a vindication of Paul's Apostleship.
Chapter 1:
Paul proclaims the gospel which he preached came directly by revelation from Christ. He expresses his disappointment that the Galatians have turned away from the true gospel he has preached to them and are now following a false gospel preached by a group of Christian Jews.
Chapter 2:
Paul declares that faith alone justifies a person in God's sight. Nothing else is to be added to this basic requirements for salvation. (Romans 3:28)
Chapter 3:
Paul states that anyone who would exchange the grace of Jesus Christ for keeping the Jewish law, as the Galatians were tempted to do, was foolish indeed. The Jewish Christians had been insisting on making Gentiles sons of Abraham through the rite of circumcision. But Paul declares that Gentile Christians are already Abraham's sons because they share the faith that he demonstrated.
He indicates the purpose of the law as a schoolmaster to prepare the way for Christ.
Affirmations (Repeat and Meditate on These
as You Go Throughout the Day)
Galatians 1:16 - Since Christ is in me I have the power to help others with their spiritual needs.
Galatians 1:24 - God is glorified in me.
Galatians 2:20 - I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Galatians 3:14 - Through Jesus Christ I receive the blessings of Abraham and the Holy Spirit.
Galatians 3:28 - I am in Christ Jesus
Galatians 3:29 - Since I am in Christ, the promises God made to Abraham are all mine.
3. Dunamis Life
Framing Your World
1 Samuel 17:46 -- "This day will the Lord deliver you into my hands; and I will smite you, and take your head from you; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saves not with sword and spear: for the battle is the Lord's, and He will give you into our hands."
David framed his world -- before he ever fought Goliath, he called out what the outcome would be. He called things that be not as though they were (Romans 4:17). By faith, David said, "The Lord is going to give you into my hands today, Goliath, and I'm going to cut off your head!"
God wants us to be successful in our praying and in our saying. If he didn't want us to succeed, he wouldn't have given us a pattern by which we could frame our world.
Into Action
Name 2 aspects of your world that you would frame with the Word of God followed by personalized scripture that would support the change you desire.

Affirmation: That same Power that raised Jesus from the dead, enables me to rise out of my adverse circumstances and step into the purposes of God for my life.
