By THE SPIRIT Paul wrote in Colossians chapter 2:
20 Therefore, if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations—
21 “Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle,”
22 which all concern things which perish with the using—according to the commandments and doctrines of men?
23 These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion,false humility, and neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.
How many rules and regulations does the Federal Government have on the books today? Thousands upon thousands and they are intended to rule external behavior among men because they do not know how to affect the population’s internal character and intent. Thus they rule by force if necessary. Jesus Christ has a superior way for us to live for we are to walk by a higher Law which promotes Love and life for all.
Jesus did not need to spend decades in the flesh in order to compel us to live according to FATHER’S Divine Will and purpose. Three and a half years was sufficient to change the world and show us The Way. As time and conditions change we need not muster up a new set of rules for we only need to be led by HIS SPIRIT as we are confronted with the challenges we face. We need not memorize the 613 commandments and statutes found in Scripture but simply focus on guiding our affairs with the Commandments of Love. Gee, that simplifies everything.
We need to quit “sweating” the little things and focus on the bigger picture of ministering Love and life to mankind. Let us become the example people look to when wanting to change their course and look toward the Light of the world. Yes, we will repel those who wish to dwell in darkness and resist the light but there are those who are fed up with the frustrations they consistently face. Those are the people looking for a solution to life’s problems and we should be the ones they are drawn to for help.
In Isaiah chapter 55, FATHER spoke:
8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD.
9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
10 “For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven,
And do not return there,
But water the earth,
And make it bring forth and bud,
That it may give seed to the sower
And bread to the eater,
11 So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.”
FATHER lays it all out for us- HIS Way is life, blessing, and fulfillment if only we seek HIM and walk in HIS higher ways. HE will not instruct us to be lawless in any manner although HIS Ways may conflict with man’s laws which seek to exploit or enslave. Paul was put into prison but it was only temporary. Peter was also confined in prison but delivered and released by an angel sent by FATHER. As we walk by THE SPIRIT, FATHER will see to it that nothing will restrain or confine us from fulfilling our purpose. As Love spreads throughout the earth, most of man’s laws will no longer apply.
