THE LAW THAT GIVES LIFE

The law we follow as we have been grafted into the bloodline of Jesus Christ is the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus.  THE LAW THAT GIVES LIFE.

"For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death." Romans 8:2

"For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock." Acts 20:29

Our blood line by faith is Jesus Christ unto eternity if we continue in faith, the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. Abiding in Him, fearing God, solidly growing from the rood that is Jesus Christ, lest we too be cut off the vine by unbelief. Be care-ful of the laws and constraints of men, false teaching and doctrines that lead astray. These teachers are everywhere in these end times, even masquerading as angels of light (2 Corinthians 11:14) (1 Timothy 4:1, Matthew 7:15). Do not be led into sin and death.

"I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying, Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars and I am left alone and they seek my life. But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. And if by grace, then is it no more of works otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace otherwise work is no more work. What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for but the election hath obtained it and the rest were blinded (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. And David saith, Let their table be made a snare and a trap and a stumblingblock and a recompense unto them: Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see and bow down their back alway. I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles how much more their fulness? For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office, If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh and might save some of them. For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy and if the root be holy, so are the branches. And if some of the branches be broken off and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree, boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in. Well, because of unbelief they were broken off and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:, for if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God on them which fell, severity. but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in for God is able to graft them in again. For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree? For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob." Romans 11:1-26

 The Jewish leaders of Jesus day rejected the law of the Spirit of life in Him for the law of sin and death. They rejected Jesus. The OT law was to lead people to realize their sin and need for a Saviour,  Jesus Christ.  They turned the teaching of the coming Messiah into religious traditions of men and they savored the power and prestige and they missed Jesus. Now we, the gentiles in the age of grace, lead people to repentance, salvation and faith in Him living by the Holy Spirit of God in us, in our living temple (1 Corinthians 3:16-17). We are not justified by the law but by faith. Amen.

"Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith." Galatians 3:24

"But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident for, The just shall live by faith. And the law is not of faith but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree, That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Brethren, I speak after the manner of men Though it be but a man’s covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto." Galatians 3:11-15

God has given us the Holy Spirit to lead us to all truth, not some but ALL truth (John 16:3). Truth in Christ Jesus that cannot be added to or disannulleth. i can testify to this in my life of searching and studying many years on my own (since 1986).  When Jesus came into my life the search was over and the truth filled me. i am blessed to have a spiritual father who discipled and raised me in the Word of God and continues to be there for me, so i can stand against the fiery darts, so i can seek and save the lost, so i can preach and teach and lead others unto Jesus. i live the life i was meant to live in Christ Jesus my Lord and Saviour, my soon coming King and ruler of my heart and life. Amen.

Jesus preached and taught and healed unto salvation countless people and had encounters with men and notable women (John 4:4-41, Matthew 9:20, John 12:3, John 4:11-, etc.). In the OT, women were taught at home by their husbands, they raised the kids til time for the boys to be learned by the men in the Word of God, the Pentetuch, (the first five books of the Bible, the Jewish traditions, the Books of Moses). Jesus had not come yet.  Jesus and the Cross changed everything.

i believe that there is truth in men teaching men the ways of Jesus, and women teaching women the ways of Jesus, and both raising the children. But i do not believe in total separation of the men and women in the teaching of the world of God.  Many men and women, prophets and teachers led lonely lives in the Lord. i believe God has the perfect plan for the church and for families with Christ the head of the Church and man submitting to Christ as the head of the family and woman submitting to man as he follows Christ, and Godly men and women raising godly children so they can raise godly children. i believer that women should not be Pastors. Yet, the times we live in leave us sorely short of mighty men of God to lead our women and men unto eternity. Very few men bear fruit, can lay hands on and heal the sick, make the blind to see and the lame to walk. And Jesus said we could do these things. Where are these men and who is raising them up? Are they all gone? No, they are around and God will send them to you if you ask. There are also mighty women of God around, doing God's will, fasting, praying and reading the Word of God, constantly with the Lord in their hearts and a prayer on their lips.

i believe that the heart is deceitfully wicked and God is in control and will repay evil hearts accordingly. It is only by the grace and mercy of God that by the blood of Christ we are made perfect, pure, holy and righteous when we are walking in righteous repentance each day. Crucifying the flesh and self will, picking up our cross and following Jesus. We do nothing and say nothing but by the Spirit of God in us. Amen.

"The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked who can know it? I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways and according to the fruit of his doings." Jeremiah 17:9-10

i believe that man can quench the Spirit of God with seemingly spiritual laws and rules that have nothing to do with the will of God.  The scribes and Pharisees were good at this (Matthew 23:1-5).

"Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies. Test all things, hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil." 1 Thessalonians 5:19-22

Should we give no appearance of evil? yes absolutely. Should we forsake the fellowship of the brethren? No absolutely not. We need to be wise with the wisdom that comes from God in our dealings and teaching of others. Only God should lead us in leading others, only God. Without question, we obey God. To know and hear God's will we need to be in the Word of God, praying DAILY, and fasting as the Lord directs. If a teacher is teaching doctrine not of the word of God, if they are adding or subtracting from God's Word, run as fast as you can from them. Do not be deceived, these are perilous times (2 timothy 3:1) and we are a remnant (Romans 9:27, 11:5), the few that have found the narrow way (Matthew 7:13-14). Our road is fraught with temptation and trials that we WILL go through and WILL overcome by the blood of the lamb, the word of our testimony and that we love not our lives unto death (Revelation 12:11). "We do not have to know everything, but know what we know real good." PT  We will continue to build on our foundation, Christ Jesus, on what we know, every day of our lives here on earth. Question and test all doctrine as the Spirit leads you. Do not be deceived.

God love and bless each of you, and draw the lost unto himself... each of my facebook friends is in my prayers daily, amen.
