Romans 8:28



28 We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose.
   
Only the Holy Spirit can assure us that all things now work for our good. He assures us that the good things and amen even the bad things now work out for our good. He assures us that there is now no condemnation for us. He assures us that our Father will never leave us or forsake us. He assures us that we are saved to the uttermost and He assures us that it is always our Father’s power within us doing the works.
The Holy Spirit gives us this peace that passes all understanding. The freedom that comes from knowing that nothing that we do will ever harm us, goes beyond logic. It doesn’t make any sense, but that is the glory of Grace. This Truth allows us to go to our Father and know that there is nothing that is hindering Him from helping us and given us all that is needed to live an abundant life.
And, beloved, if our consciences (our hearts) do not accuse us [if they do not make us feel guilty and condemn us], we have confidence (complete assurance and boldness) before God, 1 John 3:21
If our actions mattered, we would always be thinking were they good enough? If we were bad, did we repent enough? The Truth is that our righteousness is as filthy rags, so to have a clear conscience one must be empowered by the Holy Spirit to know that our own actions do not matter. The only action that mattered was Jesus on the Cross. He was that successful. He overcame our actions and now mercy flows to us in abundance. 
The wise will say that I am saying that we just now can go and do whatever we want, that I am teaching that we will freely go and sin. They will say that this is an extremely dangerous teaching. But what they fail to realize is that we are now controlled and directed by the Holy Sprit and not by our flesh. They fail to realize that the Truth sets us free from the presence, power, pleasure, and penalty of sin. The only way for us to ever stop sin is by being enlightened with the Truth that it just doesn’t have any power over us. The Truth is what will stop us from committing sin, not a bunch of rules and laws that tell us what to do and not to do. 
In Christ’s freedom we can now serve the lost and take no thought for what they have done. We can give and never fear not having provision. We can go into all of the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. We can lay hands on the sick and they will recover, we can cast out demons, freely we have received and freely we are used to give. Nothing that we have done enhances our service to our Father or hinders it. We aren’t condemned and we cannot boast. 
In Jesus’ Name I ask You Father for all who read these postings to be blessed with the knowledge of the Truth. We are all in Christ and He is victorious through us all!

Romans 7:9-10



9 Once I was alive, but quite apart from and unconscious of the Law. But when the commandment came, sin lived again and I died (was sentenced by the Law to death).
10 And the very legal ordinance which was designed and intended to bring life actually proved [to mean to me] death.
Look at what our Father has Paul write here: The Law brought death. Our Father repeatedly tells us in the Book of Romans that Law only brings failure. Trying to keep a set of rules and ordinances will cause every one who tries to keep them to fail. Our Father knew that this would happen. He wanted it to happen, because He wanted His children to see the Truth that would set them free. Our Father wanted us to know that He was always with us. He wanted us to enjoy the glory of never doubting that it was His power that was operating through us. The Law tells us that we are left alone to do things correctly. The Law causes us to look to ourselves and our flesh and not look to our Father. And remember what Jesus said: there is nothing good in human flesh, Luke 18:19. Our Father sent Jesus to absolutely do away with all Law except love.
Having cancelled and blotted out and wiped away the handwriting of the note (bond) with its legal decrees and demands which was in force and stood against us (hostile to us). This [note with its regulations, decrees, and demands] He set aside and cleared completely out of our way by nailing it to [His] cross. Colossians 2:14
Sin can only live when there is Law.
[To be sure] sin was in the world before ever the Law was given, but sin is not charged to men's account where there is no law [to transgress]. Romans 5:13
This Truth is why our Father has me preach so hard that there is now no laws for us. Because without any Laws, there isn’t any sin. Jesus came and did away with all laws for us, so there is now no sin for us! Yes and amen, there is now no sin for us. If a person believes any other way, then they are calling our Father a liar and going against His Word. We are plainly told that we are to consider ourselves to be dead to sin, Romans 6:11. The only way that we are able to consider ourselves to be totally dead to sin is by being enlightened by the Holy Spirit. He Alone must reveal the Truth to us that there are no longer any laws to convict us of sin! 
When a person believes that our Father has a set of rules that we must follow, then they are being killed by their belief. This means that they will absolutely fail. There is no opportunity for them to succeed. They will 100% of the time commit the very acts that they believe that they should not do. The only way to not lie, not kill, not covet, to love everyone, not hate, or any other thing, is to be empowered by the Holy Spirit to believe that there are no longer any laws that say to do or not to do these things. That means being given the Mind of Christ to believe that it is all free and undeserved grace. It means being empowered to accept that our actions in no way bring us closer or distance us from our Father. This faith is freedom and this faith can only come from Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith, Hebrews 12:2.
