Understanding What Faith Is. Part 7 by PastorSomba(m): 3:02pm On Dec 22, 2022
UNDERSTANDING WHAT FAITH IS. Part 7

Romans 8:1-4 (KJV) "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: 4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."

7. On the other hand all the laws of the new covenant are laws of the Spirit. The law of love, mercy, grace, faith, righteousness, etc are all laws of the Spirit. They are called laws of the Spirit because they come from the Spirit and the heart of God. They are the virtues of God. God is a Spirit. These laws always work together and are interdependent on one another because in the spirit there no time or space. For example wherever you find love, you will find mercy, grace and faith at work at the same time. God is love and out of love flows all these virtues. Wherever God is speaking or working you will find all these virtues at work always overtly or covertly. They are laws that target and demand obedience of faith from our spirit and our hearts.

The laws of the Spirit are the life, nature and character of God. Hence the law of the Spirit is aimed at giving us freely by faith the life, nature and character of God. It's main purpose is to make us sons of God in the full image and likeness of God. Unlike the law in the old testament that made the Jews servants and slaves unto God. The laws of the spirit are laws of the character and holiness of God. They are laws that produce divine nature in man. In the life of the believer they are expression of our divine nature that we are born of God after His image and likeness. They are laws which God Himself lives by because they are based on His word. The laws of the spirit are laws that transcends time, they are eternal and are operational in all realms, heaven, earth and under the earth. While the laws of the flesh produced the works of the flesh, the laws of the spirit produces the fruit of the Spirit.

Galatians 5:17-23 (KJV) "For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law." God bless you. Ephesians 2:4-6,8-9; John 1:12; 3:16; 4:24; 1John 4:8; 2Thesssalonians 3:3; 1John 1:9; Psalm 145:8-9; 1Corinthians 13:4-8; 2Peter 1:3-4; Romans 14:23; Hebrews 11:6;

If you need healing the bible says in Matthew 8:17 that Jesus Himself took all our sicknesses and diseases. Therefore you can receive your healing now by faith in the name of Jesus. Just lay your hand on the affected area of your body and say this prayer. Father God in the name of Jesus I believe that Jesus died for my healing. I believe He took all my sickness and diseases on the cross. If He took them, then I cannot have them. Therefore I resist and I reject every sickness in my body and I confess Jesus today as my healer and I receive my healing now. Thank you Jesus that I am healed. 1Peter 2:24; Ps 107:20.
Now begin to do what you couldn't do before because of the sickness. You are healed in Jesus name.

Heaven is real, Hell is real. Jesus is coming very soon. Judgement Day is coming. But you can become a born again child of God today. The bible says If you shalt confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in your heart that God hath raised him from the dead, you shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:9-10; John 1:12.

Say this prayer: Father God have mercy on me. I come to you today in the name of Jesus. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that He died for me. I believe that you raised Him from the dead for my salvation. I accept Jesus in my heart today and I confess Him today as my Lord and Saviour. Thank you Father that today I am saved In Jesus name.

If you prayed the prayer of Salvation, pls go to a nearby bible believing Church in your area, so you can grow in the grace of our Lord Jesus. Grace be with you. To Jesus be all the glory.
