We Serve Our Father Through The Spirit, Not Through Laws

Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?” Galatians 3:3

Man made laws are not the tools that unlock the favor and blessings of God! What pleases our Father is for us to serve Him through the power of His Spirit that now dwells eternally within us. We are now empowered by the very Spirit of God to allow Jesus, our Lord and Savior, to Author and Finish our faith in believing that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those of us who have been chosen. We have been empowered by the Holy Spirit to have Jesus leading us and guiding us in the paths of our Father's righteousness!

If we truly want to change the attitudes of the world, it is not accomplished by influencing governments to pass laws. It is accomplished by God using us as lamps on the side of the hills! The weapons of our warfare are spiritual and they are mighty to the bringing down of strongholds. We change the world by showing them Christ and by proclaiming our Father's Word of Truth that does not fall void to the earth. In America we have passed laws that resemble the Ten Commandments and every year the crimes against those laws abound. We need to stop trying to pass laws that attempt to force righteousness and allow our Father to show the world Jesus through us. So that the presence, pleasure, penalty, and power of sin will be destroyed and then people will be truly be set free. Laws didn’t allow the Israelites to become one with God and be free, and laws won’t allow us to either. Why Christians are so concerned with passing laws always stumps me. We weren’t set free and saved by a law, why do we think that laws will now bring the favor and blessings of God into our lives?

Are we so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are we now made perfect by laws? There is no fear for us, and we don’t need laws to protect us; God is for us, who can be against us! Our Father doesn’t pour His favor on us because we have laws that resemble the Ten Commandments. Our Father pours His blessings on us because we are His kids and we have been enabled to believe in Jesus. We are blessed because the Holy Spirit has empowered us to accept Jesus as Lord! Be blessed and where are energies and efforts are, that is where are hearts will be as well!
