- beginning of a new series by Bishop George Davis
Romans 7:15- Romans 8:2
-in my flesh there is no good thing. However, through Christ JesuI live by the law of the spirit, not the law of man
-2 master laws that exist on earth and they are polar opposites:
1) law of life
2) law of death
-There are things that we do, sometimes ignorantly, that enacts the law of death to work against us when God designed for the law of life to be operating in our lives each and every day.
-Called laws because they're always working either for or against you for your entire life.
*Important to know about these laws because if we don't, we may end up blaming God when things go wrong in our lives and get mad at God.
- You can't expect to live out the law of life in your life if you're continually enacting the law of death
- *Death is always trying to work against you, but because you're in Christ Jesus, the law of life supersedes the law of death because it's more powerful
--> Psalm 115:12-
-God will bless you on credit! (he knows your heart)
--> Genesis 2:7-9; Genesis 1:26
*It's a powerless place to be in when everyone else is responsible for your mess because that means you can't get out of this prison/ bondage you're in unless they decide to change their ways. But when you take responsibility for it, you have dominion over it.
[reference scripture: John 6:63, 1Tim 3:16]
--> Romans 5
From Adam to Moses, the people of the earth were being dominated by the law of death until God gave Moses the law --> now they know what's right and what's wrong so they (we're) without excuse.
--> John 3:36-
-He that believeth on the son of God has eternal life. The law of life is the dominating force in the life of a born-again believer so you no longer have to bow a knee to the law of sin.
- God has put himself in us! (supernatural) he's trying to get us to a place where we're in this world but not of this world --> it's a daily fight to live in this world, but not be contaminated by this world
John 17:13-
- Stand up and show the world what God looks like!
*Don't tiptoe around the devil! Why? Because Jesus has made me free from the law of sin! I don't have to try and impress you, be afraid of you, fearful, cowardly, etc. Because God has set me free to be me in Him.
* assignment for the week: overflow in the word of God this week. You can do that by - CD, meditation, of key scriptures, etc.
