Law and grace

24/6/06 Law and grace
The consciousness of God makes a person live on a different dimension to the person who is not. God fills the person’s every thought and word and therefore he can expect greater blessing then just operating in one’s own strength. The prophets spoke what they believed was the word of God. Man speaks what is his word or opinion. Man is limited by his flesh. God is unlimited and therefore a man who knows the mind of God speaks the word of God. The mind receives His word and the mouth says His word. The saying word is like the word of God that is spoken and goes out and reaps the works of the spoken word. This is how God works. He speaks through you and creates what is spoken, a curse or a blessing. Every word that comes from your mouth has the power to destroy or create life. Therefore when you speak forth the word of God, not just scripture but also the now word, received through knowing the mind of God, you bring forth the fruit of the revealed word. This is something that man cannot understand. Many are caged through indoctrination. God’s word liberates. The religions of the world indoctrinate. God gave us His word as a guide and not as a rule book. Man makes it a rule book that binds rather then setting free. Jesus came as the Word of God to show us how to use the scriptures to live and not be bound by it. Therefore He was able to do things on the sabbath which were taboo to the Jews. This is the difference between living by the law and living by grace. Grace fulfils the law but is not bound by the law. God is above the law because He is love. Love is able to bend for the sake of the other. Let the Holy Spirit lead you and you will never be bound any more. A man walking in love is above the law. The law is for sinners to bring them to justice. The law was made for man to lead him to salvation and make him aware of his own sin. Now love fulfils the law and therefore the law is redundant where love is. Jesus revealed God’s love for sinners and in this way fulfilled the law. In Him I am free no more to fear the law but to embrace it and fulfil its demands through the power of love.
