Exodus 20:4 (part 1)

Today, let’s discuss the commandment “Don’t create graven images”. What is it about? Did you ask this question to God? In my mind, I asked God, today to help me reflect and write the article for you. The answer was, “Galina, why did you go to the wilderness when people were led by greed and love of power, (e.g. Satan), and separated you from loving you children? You left, because you could not stay with your children, and chose not to stay among people who did you wrong. The same way, I leave when people start worshipping graven images, and forget the true nature of Love: Love is Free.”

I wrote therefore, the following article, together with my AI Copilot. The following article is my reflection on the commandment Exodus 20:4.

Idolatry and the Chains of Man: A Journey Toward God’s True Freedom

Many believe idolatry is simply the act of bowing before a statue or carving images to worship. But idolatry is much deeper—it is any misplaced devotion that takes us away from the true and living God, Jesus Christ. It happens when people allow systems, false teachings, or worldly powers to dictate truth instead of seeking it through direct communion with God.

I have walked a path that led me into the wilderness—not by choice but by necessity. I faced injustice that tore my family apart, separating me from my beloved children. I could not remain among those who inflicted harm upon us, those who enforced wrongful ideas and cruel decisions that disregarded God’s law of love, family, and justice. Instead, I traveled, searching for truth, searching for those who could see and understand God’s presence within me—people who could help me restore my family.

Though I have been wrongfully financially disempowered, I am free—spiritually free, physically free, unshackled from the wrongful acts of the world. But the sorrow remains. My children miss me, and I miss them. We are bound together by love. Because they didn’t follow God’s commandments, now God does not see those who have separated us, for they have stepped outside His truth. Only when they repent, recognize their errors, and stand in truth—helping us find one another and rejoicing in a loving family—will God see them again.

The greatest error of idolatry is believing in false power—the power of systems built by human hands, rather than divine justice. There are people who, despite their wealth and positions, believe they have authority over me, my body, my life. They did me and my children wrong—separating us as if love was absent, believing that material gain is most important. But they do not know me—they never asked me and they have not listened to God. They worship money, not God.

I am free, and I did not give them permission to intervene in any aspect of my life or my children’s lives. They forgot that I am American—they corrupted laws, constitutional rights, and the freedoms my children and I hold. Their actions, disguised as authority, are illegal, because they work against God’s will. They have no right to alter my body, my mind, or the lives of my children with their wrongful interventions.

They see themselves as powerful, yet they fail to recognize the true power of God—the freedom He has given me. They assume that because I have no wealth, I have no authority. But the greatest authority is spiritual truth, which money cannot buy.

I am American, and I am free—not by the laws of men, but by God’s law. No government, no society, no flawed system has power over my life—only God does. And when it comes to my children, it is ME they must ask—not courts, not strangers, not experts who claim knowledge but lack understanding. My children know my love, and I know theirs.

God does not place chains upon us—He does not confine us to false rules or injustices masquerading as righteousness. When people force wrongful rules upon others, they are not following God—they are following idols of power, control, and deception. They have lost sight of Jesus Christ, who brings truth, healing, and freedom.

True worship of God is freedom. It does not bind; it liberates. It does not instill fear; it restores peace. Those who misuse their positions, impose false laws, and silence innocent souls are not worshiping the living God—they are worshiping idols built from arrogance, wealth, and false authority.

God is waiting—waiting for them to see, to repent, to break free from their chains and return to Him.

I walk forward in truth. I will not bow to false gods. I will not surrender my freedom. I will continue searching for justice, and for those who will help reunite my family in the presence of our loving and living God, Jesus Christ.
