Galatians 5: Resist The Devil

5 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. “Death is the last station on the road to freedom” (Dietrich Bonhoeffer). Christ has made us free by His death. To stand fast in “that liberty” is to stand fast in His death. A “yoke of bondage” is very specific, it is the kind of bondage we give to oxen. They are in bondage to us to plow our fields. This is the goal of every false prophet, to entangle you in a yoke of bondage. For example, a governor of the state needs to stand fast and not be entangled. It is expensive to run for office, every large donor is trying to entangle the politician in a yoke of bondage. This has become quite obvious during this pandemic. Why the mixed messages? In Florida the governor pressured the person posting data on the State to manipulate the data, they refused and were fired. “As a thief is disgraced when he is caught, so the people of Israel are disgraced— they, their kings and their officials, their priests and their prophets. Jeremiah 2:26 The governor of Florida is disgraced. His denial of the dangers of this virus, his refusal to heed the warnings, his arrogance in thinking this wouldn't come there, and now his declaration that the schools need to be opened next month. He needs to be held accountable for all of his actions. Is he representing the people, or the business interests?
