Wow, right off the bat the study is pin pointing a huge issue. I think everybody to some degree people pleases a different times in their life. I can definitely think right away of areas I’m doing that. I’ll for sure be doing “the next step”, because I’m sure there are areas where I don’t even realize I am doing that.

Please pray for me as I take teeny, tiny baby steps and try to work through my 1st Bible study. I just finished listening to a CD series called “People Pleasers — Are You Pleasing man or Pleasing God?” by Joyce Meyer. I really need help with this among many, many other things! Thanks for this study. I look forward to getting deeper into the Word.

Hi Elisa,

I will admit I too am a people pleaser at times. I definitely struggle in this area. Though I will persevere through the the “next step” seeking God for the purpose and plan he has prepared for me. I love Galatians! Last week I read and re-read the book of Galatians and will continue to do so each day until I am filled. Ms. Elisa, I look forward to the next time with you and the other bloggers.

Blessings and Joy,

Elisa, this was one of the singlemost greatest challenges when I accepted Christ and today, I still fall into the trap of people pleasing. To me, it all boils down to pride– wanting others’ acclamation and praise, instead of giving glory to God who deserves ALL the glory for any good that is in us. Lord help me! Walking in the Spirit and in His word helps me overcome. I sure can’t do it on my own. Thank you for your prayers. Excellent study! Thank you!

My husband and I went through a Galations bible study with our church when we lived in NC. I don’t get as much time to sit and dig into God’s word so this is an awesome thing. There are many times that I am too tired to pick up the Word and I need to work on this. I am a non confrontational person so I am definitely a people pleaser. Thank you for doing this. We all need help with this and this will allow all of us to rally together and become better people. I am journaling the high points of each chapter of Galations and I encourage each of you to do the same. Have a blessed day!!

That’s so true about taking the stand against something. Although it seems that they would get angry for us pointing it out, we still must stand firm for what we know is right. They’ll have a greater amount of respect for us when we do stand firm.

*What false doctrines do you believe? My beliefs are rooted in the Word and not from human opinions or teachings. Discernment and study have kept me spiritually healthy.

*Are you trying to follow laws and customs in order to ensure your salvation and place in heaven? Legalism will not get me into Heaven. God’s Word and guidelines ensure that my walk is easier and that I am a true witness for Him.

*Do you know that your salvation comes from believing that Jesus Christ died on the cross for the forgiveness of your sins and that He rose again on the third day? Read Romans 3:21-28 to learn more. If you have more questions, we hope you’ll contact Faith Lifts for help finding the answers. Amen! Yes, Christ’s sacrifice and my acceptance secured my place with Him. Praise God!
