LIVING BY THE HIGHER LAW: THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE – GIVES FREEDOM AND EMPOWERS VICTORY AND DOMINION IN LIFE AND GRACE!\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“For the LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE in Christ Jesus hath MADE ME FREE from the LAW OF SIN AND DEATH”<\/i>\u00a0<\/i><\/b>Romans 8:2.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In life, there’s no one single educational system in the world that is designed to educate people to tell lies or cheat, or run down government or create any of the societal vices, or epidemic and pandemics in terms of sicknesses and DISEASES, or to create the INHUMANE and EVILS and WICKEDNESS we find in community and society and nations today. Do you know any institution that teaches and lectures any of the things mentioned or such\u00a0like?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, there’s a LAW OF NATURE in doing life; it’s the LAW OF SIN AND DEATH, which is operating knowingly or unknowingly on earth in every phase of doing life; and everyone by virtue of being born on earth found themselves to exhibit one or more of the traces of this law in their human’s nature and are affected directly or indirectly by the consequence of its operations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But\u00a0there’s\u00a0another law, the LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS – this LAW gives the LEVERAGE over the LAW OF SIN AND DEATH\u00a0[Romans 8:1-2]<\/b>. SIN being the cause and effect for SICKNESS, POVERTY AND SPIRITUAL DEATH. And SPIRITUAL DEATH results to the PHYSICAL DEATH.\u00a0Invariably,some\u00a0will go to eternal death knowingly and unknowingly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“For I joyfully delight in THE LAW of God in my inner self [with my new nature], 23 but I see a different law and rule of action in the members of my body [in its appetites and desires], WAGING WAR AGAINST THE LAW OF MY MIND and subduing me and making me a prisoner of THE LAW OF SIN which is within my members. 24 Wretched and miserable man that I am! Who will [rescue me and] set me free from this body of death [this corrupt, mortal existence]? 25 Thanks be to God [for my deliverance] THROUGH Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with MY MIND [SPIRIT-MIND] SERVE THE LAW of God, but on the other, with MY FLESH [my HUMAN NATURE, my WORLDLINESS, my SINFUL CAPACITY\u2014I SERVE] THE LAW OF SIN”<\/i>\u00a0Romans 7:22-25\/AMP.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hence the HIGHER LAW, is the LAW to enable one live in DOMINION over All bondages which are the consequence and effect of SIN NATURE: POVERTY, SICKNESS and SPIRITUAL DEATH. Therefore,\u00a0it’s\u00a0imperative that you CONNECT to the HIGHER LAW today, and live FREE in Christ for VIRTUE and GLORY.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u00a0urge\u00a0you therefore in Christ Jesus stead, to STRIVE LAWFULLY on the HIGHER LAW\u00a0in order to\u00a0WIN in life, live in DOMINION and VICTORY and to be FULFILLED in it all effortless and without sweat in God’s GRACE and BLESSEDNESS.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“And if a man also\u00a0STRIVE\u00a0FOR MASTERIES, yet is he NOT CROWNED, except he STRIVE LAWFULLY”<\/i>\u00a02 Timothy 2:5.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

LIVING BY THE HIGHER LAW – THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS – SETS ONE FREE – AND KEEPS ONE IN THE REALM OF DOMINION.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“For the LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE in Christ Jesus hath MADE ME FREE from the LAW OF SIN AND DEATH”<\/i>\u00a0Romans 8:2.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“And if a man also\u00a0STRIVE\u00a0FOR MASTERIES, yet is he not crowned, except he STRIVE LAWFULLY”<\/i>\u00a02 Timothy 2:5.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Therefore\u00a0there is NOW NO CONDEMNATION [no guilty verdict, no punishment] for those who ARE in Christ Jesus [who believe in Him as personal Lord and Savior]. 2 For THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE [which is] in Christ Jesus [the law of our NEW BEING] has set you FREE from THE LAW OF SIN AND OF DEATH. 3 For what THE LAW could not do [that is, OVERCOME sin and REMOVE its PENALTY, its POWER] being weakened by THE FLESH [man\u2019s nature WITHOUT the Holy Spirit], God did: He sent His own Son in the likeness of sinful man as an offering for sin. And He CONDEMNED SIN in THE FLESH [SUBDUED it and OVERCAME it in the person of His own Son], 4 so that the [righteous and just] requirement of the Law might be FULFILLED in us who do not live our lives in THE WAYS OF THE FLESH [guided by worldliness and our sinful nature], but [live our lives] in THE WAYS OF THE SPIRIT [guided by His power]. 5 For those who are living according to the\u00a0flesh\u00a0set their minds on the things of THE FLESH [which gratify the body], but those who are living according to THE SPIRIT, [set their minds on] the things of the Spirit [His will and purpose]. 6 Now THE MIND OF THE FLESH IS DEATH [both now and forever\u2014because it pursues sin]; but THE MIND OF THE SPIRIT is life and peace [the spiritual well-being that comes from walking with God\u2014both now and forever]; 7 THE MIND OF THE FLESH [with its sinful pursuits] is ACTIVELY HOSTILE to God. It does not SUBMIT itself to God\u2019s law, since it cannot, 8 and those who ARE in the flesh [living a life that caters to sinful appetites and impulses] CANNOT PLEASE God”<\/i>\u00a0Romans 8:1-8\/AMP.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SUMMARY:<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
