Day 21 – Don’t Birth Ishmaels~ Julie Earl
Galatians 4:17-23 17 Those people are zealous to win you over, but for no good. What they want is to alienate you from us, so that you may have zeal for them. 18 It is fine to be zealous, provided the purpose is good, and to be so always, not just when I am with you. 19 My…

Galatians 4:12-16 12 I plead with you, brothers and sisters, become like me, for I became like you. You did me no wrong. 13 As you know, it was because of an illness that I first preached the gospel to you, 14 and even though my illness was a trial to you, you did not treat me with…

I was feeling out of sorts and exhausted, but as I walked into Walmart I asked the Holy Spirit to bless someone through me. About ten minutes later I was passing an aisle when a lady caught my eye. I prayed as I walked toward her, and then said to her, “As I was praying for you,…
Read MoreDay 18 – You Are an Heir (or Heiress) ~ Julie Earl
Galatians 4:1-7 1What I am saying is that as long as an heir is underage, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate. 2 The heir is subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by his father. 3 So also, when we were underage, we were in slavery under the…

While we were in the hospital yesterday trying to figure out some health issues for my husband, a sweet gal came in to clean the room. As I was silently praying for her, the thought came to mind that she needed to hear how important she was. “I was praying that God would bless you,”…
Read MoreDay 15 – God Wants Us Under Love, Not Law ~ Julie Earl
Galatians 3:15-20 15 Brothers and sisters, let me take an example from everyday life. Just as no one can set aside or add to a human covenant that has been duly established, so it is in this case. 16 The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. Scripture does not say “and to seeds,” meaning…
Read MoreDay 13 – Why Miracles Haven’t Ceased ~ Julie Earl
Galatians 3:1-6 1You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. 2 I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard? 3 Are you so foolish? After beginning by means…

Galatians 2:20-21 20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. 21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could…
Read MoreAngels and an Unwritten Book ~ by Debbie Evans
A customer came in to pay a bill, showing me that she and her husband had just returned from Africa. She wanted me to waive the late fees. (The one thing my boss doesn’t want.) As we talked and I looked at her account, I saw that they always paid for six months at a time. It was a…
