Use Your Weapons of Righteousness Against any Darkness

Use Your Weapons of Righteousness Against any Darkness




"Attack anything that makes you feel unworthy, inadequate, hopeless, powerless and useless. That is the evidence of the enemy. All those things need to be attacked with joy, with peace, with love and grace, with mercy, with kindness and the goodness of God." Graham Cooke



You might ask, but how? How can I come against bad mood, negative feelings or emotions, or thoughts, storms, situations, oppression and darkness?


We fight the good fight of FAITH - of what we believe; of what we're persuaded about. We stand on what we believe. Just make sure what you believe is true.


"The law was given by Moses, BUT Grace and TRUTH was revealed through Jesus Christ."


Pay attention that the word TRUTH is no the side of Christ, and NOT on the side of Moses - the law giver.


"The Law is not of faith" Gal 3:12



In other words, we do not want to follow what's not of faith. If you follow God through the law you reject the work Christ came to do - which is to take us OUT from under such system. It's bringing back what He had buried already. We are dead to the law, it no longer has any power, or authority over us - unless we subject ourselves under it as slaves.


So, how do we fight the fight of our faith, if the law is not of faith?


With the weapons of righteousness:

2 Corinthians 6:7 AMP By [speaking] the word of truth, in the power of God, with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand [to attack] and for the left hand [to defend];


The law will always declare you as not meeting its standard - as Sinner.

But Christ came to abolish the enmity which is the law with its commandments, and by His righteousness He made us righteous as He is. He gave us His identity.


In Adam we had the identity of Sinners, but in Christ as a new creation we have a new identity of Righteous.


Romans 5:19 NASB For as through the one man's disobedience (Adam) the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One (Christ) the many will be made righteous.


So, it’s by His obedience, not my obedience to the law of works, that I became righteous.


But what are those weapons of righteousness?

The weapons of unrighteousness is presenting the members of our body to sin (Noun) – it’s a mistaken identity. We are to consider ourself dead to sin but alive in Christ.


Romans 6:11-14 NASB

(11) Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
(12) Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts,
(13) and do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments (weapons) of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments (weapons) of righteousness to God.
(14) For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace.


When we do not consider ourself alive in Christ we let sin reign in our body and this is how we obey it’s lusts. The members of our body are not weapons of unrighteousness, but weapons of righteousness when we are alive in Christ.

When we present our body to the nature of sin (Noun) we use the weapons of unrighteousness. We do not see ourself dead to sin and resurrected as new creation, but we see our old nature of sin (Noun) as if we are still sinners.

When we present ourself to the nature of righteousness we use our body as a weapon of righteousness, knowing we are dead to sin, resurrected, a new creation, having a new nature of righteousness and we’re no longer sinners, but righteous and alive in Christ.


How can we present our members as weapons of righteousness to God?


By knowing and believing we are no longer under law and therefore sin which gets its power from the law is no longer our master. Grace is our Lord and Master. I’m inside Righteousness (noun), no longer inside Sin (noun).



  • So, when we want to use the weapons of righteousness we need to know and believe our identity in Christ, no longer Sinners but righteous by grace. We do not belong to Adam, but to Christ.
  •  
  • Knowing and believing the finished works of Christ – is our weapon of righteousness.
  •  
  • Knowing and believing who Christ is in us is our weapon,
  •  
  • Knowing and believing who Christ has made us as a new creation is our weapon.
  •  
  • Knowing and believing who God says we are, not who the law says we aren’t – is our weapon.
  •  
  • Knowing and believing our position in Christ as sons, not slaves to the law – is our weapon.
  •  
  • Knowing and believing we were raised up with Christ and we’re dead to sin – is our weapon.
  •  
  • Knowing we have met the standard of the law is our weapon,
  •  
  • Knowing and believing we have met the standard of God is our weapon.
  •  
  • Knowing we have been redeemed with an eternal redemption (forgiveness) is our weapon.
  •  
  • Knowing our redemption (forgiveness) is not temporary but forgiven once and for all – is our weapon.
  •  
  • Knowing it’s no longer you who lives, but Christ lives in you and through you – is your weapon.
  •  
  • Knowing God no longer remembers your sins is your weapon.
  •  
  • Knowing God no longer keeps any account of your wrong is your weapon.
  •  
  • Knowing the certificate of debt (sins) with charges against you was cancelled, taken out of the way and nailed to the cross is your weapon.
  •  
  • Knowing you have been perfected already by the blood of Jesus is your weapon.
  •  
  • Knowing God loves you because He made you new in Christ is your weapon.
  •  
  • Knowing you have already been sanctified (set apart for God) by His one sacrifice is your weapon.
  •  
  • Knowing God sees no blemish in you is your weapon.
  •  
  • Knowing you are beautiful and pleasing to God because Christ is, - is your weapon.
  •  
  • Knowing and believing God loves you – is your weapon.

All these are your weapons of righteousness.

The more you see Christ, and no longer YOU or the weak corrupt SELF – the more you can practice using those weapons of your right standing with God in Christ. 

When Judas and his cohorts came to Jesus in the garden and they were holding their weapons; what do you think was the weapon Jesus used against them? 

The weapon He used was His identity. He knew who He is in God, the oneness He has with His Father and how much His Father loves Him. 

Jesus lead them to ask Him about His identity “Who are you seeking?” After all, He knew they came looking for Him and could have asked them “What do you want?” or “Why did you come with weapons?” but TWICE He asked them “Who are you seeking?” “Jesus of Nazereth” they answered. This is when Jesus used His weapon “I AM” – the weapon of His identity and His oneness and right standing with His Father. He answered them with the weapon of His identity as God Himself standing in front of them “I AM”. They sought for a MAN from Nazereth, but He kept revealing His true identity twice: “I AM”. He made sure they knew who He is. Even the Holy Spirit testified of his identity making sure they knew who He is as they all fell back to the ground, in subjection to Him who is the Lord. But they did not know who He really is. They walked in the flesh and saw a man, not God in Him.


Joh 18:3 Judas then, having received the Roman cohort and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, *came there with lanterns and torches and weapons.  Joh 18:4 So Jesus, knowing all the things that were coming upon Him, went forth and *said to them, "Whom do you seek?"  Joh 18:5 They answered Him, "Jesus the Nazarene." He *said to them, "I am He." And Judas also, who was betraying Him, was standing with them.  Joh 18:6 So when He said to them, "I am He," they drew back and fell to the ground.  Joh 18:7 Therefore He again asked them, "Whom do you seek?" And they said, "Jesus the Nazarene." Joh 18:8 Jesus answered, "I told you that I am He; so if you seek Me, let these go their way," 


These weapons of righteousness are powerful and destroy strongholds (false mindsets), reasonings, and man’s logic which comes against the knowledge of God. These weapons help us to take captive any false thought to the obedience of the Truth who is Christ.  

2 Corinthians 10:3-7 NASB
(3) For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh,
(4) for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.
(5) We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ,
(6) and we are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete.
(7) You are looking at things as they are outwardly. If anyone is confident in himself that he is Christ's, let him consider this again within himself, that just as he is Christ's, so also are we. (Consider this: you are ALREADY Christ like, in his image and form. They looked to their flesh and could not see Christ in them, but SELF and it’s corruption and thought that this is who they are. They saw a false identity)
I'm learning to use my weapons of righteousness and the Holy Spirit convicts and reminds me of my righteousness in Christ. At times when I struggle with feelings and emotions, negative thoughts or anything dark and ugly, I find it difficult to focus on Christ in me, on how much I am loved and accepted, of the oneness and no separation I have with God in Christ, of His great and deep love for me and the beauty He sees in me. Because what I feel seems so real.

But I want the truth that I know to be more real to me. The truth of God’s love for me is my reality, and not what my flesh feels or thinks. 
I wake up sometimes in the morning with a negative mood, and it feels so real. It's so oppressing it makes you want to just run away to a place where there is sunshine and joy, peace and rest. But the Lord always reminds me that what I feel is not who I am.

I don't want to follow negative feelings, emotions or thoughts because these are NOT mine. It's like someone vomiting on you and telling you that this yucky vomit is yours and it’ s who you are. No, it's NOT yours and it’s NOT who you are.
  
“It’s not about who you’re NOT, but who I AM”. This is what the Lord kept telling me many times over and over as I was deeply walking under the accusations of the enemy who used people and myself to tell me how not good enough I am, and how I do not measure up to the standard and requirements of the law of God or any man made laws and regulations.

I don’t live my life by trying to meet any standard of any law. I already know I cannot. The minute you bring yourself under any man made laws you are subject to them and put a yoke over yourself to fulfill it. You become a slave to any law you are trying to obey. We do things out of the freedom we have, not because we have to or there is a demand. I already know Christ my Savior has met all the standards of the law for righteousness for me. So, He is my Standard and I am Righteous (meaning in Greek: have met the standard of the law, have met the standard of God), apart from my performance Rom 3:28. 

Yea, I have already met God’s high standard for righteousness – my new identity is Righteous and I have done nothing to achieve it!!!!! Thank You my wonderful Lord and Father for who You have made me in You. I love my new identity which is YOU who is in me. 

What you feel or think and has any negative in it - is NOT who you are.

What people see, think or say about you – is also not who you are in Christ.

They either see YOU, or CHRIST in you. They either see in the Spirit your real identity in Christ which is the truth, or in the flesh your old identity was died and buried with Jesus.
  
Flesh manifests daily in corrupt and ugly ways from fear, doubt, accusations, greed, jealousy or lust. 

Learn to separate who you are in Christ, from what you feel, see, think or do.

Learn to separate who god says you are, from who YOU SEE (the fleshy you).

The fleshy you is not who you are anymore. It’s just a manifestation of who YOU think you are.
 The more you behold (see) Christ, the more you will manifest Christ in you.

It’s what you believe that manifests through you.


When the Accuser vomits on me and tries to stick my old identity on me and I see my flesh, instead of who Christ IS in me, I speak to the Lord and literally say this (or whatever comes to mind about my true identity in Christ): 

"Lord, I don't care what I feel right now, it's not who I am in Christ. These feelings, or thoughts, or manifestation of my flesh are not mine, and not my new identity. Christ lives in me and therefore I am filled with life, joy, peace and every good thing inside of me. The Spirit of the Living God dwells in me and I am one spirit with Him - and He is all Love, Grace and Kindness. I am as He is. I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus and this is my new identity”.




Awaken to righteousness and do not sin by unbelief, as some do not knowledge God.
  1Co 15:34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God:

  Romans 13:11-12 Do this, knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep; for now salvation is nearer to us than when we believed. (12) The night is almost gone, and the day is near. Therefore let us lay aside the WORKS of darkness and put on the armor (weapons) of light. (which is your righteousness with God in Christ, apart from your works Rom 3:28)

   
Prayer (talking to God):

Lord, help me to use the weapons of my righteousness in Christ and overcome by the blood of Jesus paid to redeem me from myself, my old identity as a Sinner, and my corrupt flesh. Holy Spirit convict me of my righteousness in Christ daily to help me overcome by my faith – by believing who You say I am, not who I think I am. Show me more daily of my new identity in Christ and who Christ is in me, and how You see me. I want to know the power of Your resurrection which is the power of Your great Love for me.



I love you Abba – you are the BEST!!!!

Are You Living Under the Law and You Do Not Know It?

Are You Living Under the Law and You Do Not Know It?






Walking under the Law of the Old covenant means living your life by trying to meet the standard of the Law by your right-performance (works).



It’s seeing how incomplete YOU are (flesh) and therefore there is an urge to complete and perfect yourself by your own effort.



It’s thinking, “I need to meet the standard of the Law in order to be right with God”. Not knowing that Jesus IS your Standard. He IS the standard by which God measures you in Him. No longer by how well you meet the standard of the Law, but how well Jesus has met it for you.”

Since he met the standard for righteousness for YOU, then you ARE righteous with God by His righteousness; not your own. This is why righteousness is a gift, and not earned by works.





Check out the word Righteous in Greek. Among all other definitions it says "HAS MET THE STANDARD OF THE LAW; HAS MET THE STANDARD OF GOD".



You HAVE met any standard of man or laws or requirements because Jesus imputed His righteousness to you, while ALL your sins, faults, mess, old nature, old identity as sinner - was imputed to Him. There was an exchange of identity on the cross. He became you, and you became Him.





Such mindset of the Law and seeing your old identity in Adam, comes from not seeing the finished works of Christ on the cross and his resurrection. It is seeing yourself in Adam and not in Christ.



It’s an identity Crisis of being veiled by the Law from seeing the finished works of Christ and who he has made you in Him.



It’s believing that what Christ has done is NOT good enough and therefore, YOU by YOUR performance need to add to what He has already done and finished.





The language of the Law is DO, but the language of Grace is DONE, FINISHED.





Walking under the Law is seeing the old man you USED to BE in Adam before Christ was resurrected. It's seeing yourself as righteous by your performance, and how well your flesh performs; it's not seeing the new creation Christ made you.



It's still seeing your sins, blemishes, faults, wrongs and having the old identity in Adam as a Sinner.



Walking under the Law is seeing YOU instead of seeing Christ who is in you. It's beinf SELF conscious instead of Christ conscious.

It's still seeing your sins, and having the old identity in Adam as a Sinner.



Walking under the Law is seeing YOU instead of seeing Christ in you. It's focusing on SELF and not on Christ who is your new identity.



Who you are IS Christ who gave you His identity. He made you already as a new creation in His image and in His form.



So, Elana, why doesn't it manifest? Why am I still failing in my performance?

Meaning, “I am still not in the image of God”, “I am not Christlike”, I need to perform right in order to BE Christlike”.



Really???



Being made complete in the image of God who is revealed in Christ is by YOUR WORKS?

It’s by how well YOU PERFORM?



No, this deception of an unfinished works has to be removed.



AS the temple of God Christ HAS build you complete in Him. Like Eve who was built from Adam, you had NO PART in this finished works. God built you perfect in Christ, now your part is to BELIEVE IT. Believe that He did the job for you and it’s not by your own works and effort that you ARE complete.



Man cannot have ANY part in the building of the New Temple – the new creation in Christ.

It’s Christ’s works and His alone and He finished the work and now He rests.

So, rest in His finished works by believing who He has already made you.



Psalms 92:4-6 NASB

(4) For You, O LORD, have made me glad by what You have done, I will sing for joy at the works of Your hands.

(5) How great are Your works, O LORD! Your thoughts are very deep.

(6) A senseless man has no knowledge, Nor does a stupid man understand this:







Why is your new identity in Christ not manifesting yet?



Because the more you SEE who you ARE in Christ, and not who you're NOT - the more you see Christ in you. Whatever you focus on - lifts up. If you focus on YOU and your faults, and your old self, you will only see SELF and your walk will be trying to perfect your flesh.



If you behold Christ (see Him who is in you) you will be transformed into who He has already made you. Transformation and manifestation of Christ in us, is by beholding Christ, not beholding SELF.



Focus on negative, your old self in Adam, who you're not, your faults, sins, mess - will blind you from seeing who Christ has made you as a new being.



Focus on Christ, who He is, His identity which you HAVE, His righteousness, His finished works, who He made you, how complete He sees you in Him, and how perfectly He has removed all your sins from you - means you walk in the Spirit.

It means you don't walk by who YOU see yourSELF, but who you ARE as a Spirit Being.



See yourself the way God sees you in Christ, not the way the Law sees you in Adam.





The Law says "purify my heart Lord and give me a right Spirit", but the finished works of Christ says "I have already purified your heart and gave you My Spirit whithin you. I gave you a new heart and a new spirit and this is ho I made you a new creation. See who you ARE, not who you used to be. In other words, do not walk under the Law which defines who you are, walk in Who Christ has made you by His blood.





We’ve been perfected by His blood and His works, not by self effort or ANYTHING we have done or can ever do.



Hebrews 10:14-15 NASB “For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified. And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us;”





Don’t live your life like the religious guy who lived under the Law and wanted eternal life by his law keeping.



He asked Jesus how he could get eternal life. Jesus pointed to his law keeping to get him to the end of himself, so he would see how much He needs a Savior. Because by our law keeping we would only find how much we CANNOT keep the demands of the Law.



The guy in his pride thought he had already kept all the commandments, so he focused on something else he needs to DO in order to obtain eternal life. This is when Jesus said to him: “if you wish to be COMPLETE… go and do this and that”. Jesus showed us through that conversation that desiring eternal life means wishing to be complete.



Jesus added to the law another unwritten law. And the guy could not admit he cannot DO it. He could not admit he needs a Savior.


Matthew 19:16-21 NASB And someone came to Him and said, "Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may obtain eternal life?" (17) And He said to him, … if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments." (20) The young man *said to Him, "All these things I have kept; what am I still lacking?" (21) Jesus said to him, "If you wish to be complete, go and sell … and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me."


If you notice, Jesus did NOT tell this man that he can have eternal life if he sells all his good. He just told him after you DO this, come and follow Me. Because eternal life is Him. He is eternal life. Eternal life was given to man because Christ HAS PERFECTED US by His blood, and not by ANYTHING we can ever do right. It's not by man's works or doings. Its a gift given to man by what Christ has done and finished.


Tyre saw herself perfect not by what God has done, but by the perfecting of the flesh – by self effort, by believing that His finished works was not good enough and man needs to add to what God has done.


Ezekiel 27:2-7 NLT

(2) "Son of man, sing a funeral song for Tyre,

(3) that mighty gateway to the sea, the trading center of the world. Give Tyre this message from the Sovereign LORD: "You boasted, O Tyre, 'My beauty is perfect!'

(4) You extended your boundaries into the sea. Your builders made your beauty perfect.

(5) You were like a great ship built of the finest cypress from Senir. They took a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for you.

(6) They carved your oars from the oaks of Bashan. Your deck of pine from the coasts of Cyprus was inlaid with ivory.

(7) Your sails were made of Egypt's finest linen, and they flew as a banner above you. You stood beneath blue and purple awnings made bright with dyes from the coasts of Elishah.

Ezekiel 27:10-11 NASB

(10) "Persia and Lud and Put were in your army, your men of war. They hung shield and helmet in you; they set forth your splendor.
(11) "The sons of Arvad and your army were on your walls, all around, and the Gammadim were in your towers. They hung their shields on your walls all around; they perfected your beauty.

The Galatians had wrong doctrine about the finished works of Christ:
Galatians 3:1-3 NASB

(1) You foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified? (the old identity in Adam was gone, it died!!!)

(2) This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?

(3) Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?

The resurrection of Christ is the evidence that the working of God was made complete and therefore we WERE raised up with Him already circumcised from the flesh old nature. Our old self is dead and was removed by the Spirit. Not by man’s hands.


Colossians 2:9-12 NASB

(9) For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form,

(10) and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over all rule and authority;

(11) and in Him you were also circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, in the removal of the body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ;

(12) having been buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised up with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead.



We have been perfected by the unity Jesus brought. We ARE one spirit with Him already by the new Spirit He gave us and put in us. We’re in Him and He is in us already.

Joh 17:23 I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity,


1 Corinthians 6:17 NASB (17) But the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him.




A question:

Wouldn't we be liars if we said nothing is negative. How could our God lift us out of negative things if there is no acknowledgment of them to come out of?



My answer:


This world is in darkness and doesn't know the light. We're not of this world and we're not to look at who the world says we are. We look to Heaven, our true Home where we already live and citizens of. That's the struggle between the Spirit and the Flesh, Grace and Law, Works and Faith we all go through. But we're learning in our walk to walk free - not by doing, but by KNOWING who are are in Christ. As for our identity, indeed we ARE complete in Christ, new beings which He built. There is indeed no blemish in us. If we look to the flesh (which died with Christ) we will SEE all the blemishes and try to perfect dead flesh. But when we look to Christ we will SEE Christ in us; His righteousness - no longer our own through the perfection of our dead flesh. we're not worshippers of the dead, but of the Living One who is in us and made us complete in Him. How? He perfectly removed and took away all our sins. That’s how He cleansed us once and for all. Your sins have been completely removed and you are a new creation, beautiful, perfect in His eyes. We just need to SEE who He has made us.




Much love and grace,



Elana
Never define your Identity and Life by a Negative




“Never allow your life to be defined by a negative. Never allow your life to be defined by people who don't like you!" Graham Cooke.


I add, never define your life by who the Law and the ministry of condemnation, says you are. The law of works will always condemn you for your failed performance; and no matter how well you perform it will never be good enough.


Don’t live your life by trying to measure up to any standard of man, or man made laws or regulations. You CANNOT fulfill the Law or meet its high standard!!!


Jesus IS the standard by which God sees you. By His works He met the standard for you and therefore you are righteous. It’s by His righteousness, not your by your works.


Live free by who God says you are in Christ, and how He sees you through the finished works of Jesus. You ARE complete and beautiful and there is no blemish in you. He took them ALL out of the way.



Song of Solomon 4:7 “You are altogether beautiful, my darling, And there is no blemish in you.

First Adam, Where ar You?

How we speak comes from our heart, from who we perceive God to be, and how we perceive ourselves to be.




Dave Vaughn said: "Language is so important. What we believe speaks and brings shape to what's around us. What we have 'Heard' has been a mess, mixture at best".




Babylon means Mixture - it's a mixture of law and grace which causes confusion. It is a mixture of works and faith self effort and God's works, Man (first Adam) and Christ (second Adam). It is a mixture and confusion of identity in Christ.




Mixture (Babylon) preaches the love of God but brings the rod of the Law to instill fear and condemnation.




The rod and God’s staff as our Shepherd (Psalm 23) was never meant to beat the sheep; but to beat the wolves who were trying to devour them.




I've heard someone saying to me once that the Lord disciplines us as a shepherd disciplines his sheep. If the sheep runs away he breaks its legs to make sure it will never run away again. WOW!!!! How upset I was when I heard it. how far away this false image is from who Christ is. "It's the goodness of God that leads us to repentance" not His harshness from the law.




We're no longer under such system which punishes for wrong. God's love transforms us and makes sure we would never even want to leave Him. Why would anyone leave love, kindness, goodness, patience, joy - this is who God is.




Dave Vaughn continued: "As we are now evolving the language will be redefined causing what's around us to be reshaped or you could say 'Re-Formed' LOL! God's not in a rush, the Resurrection is a sign of His eternal commitment to us, He's redefining us and we will speak a new language. Soon you'll find yourself saying 'Adam where are you?'"




I love how Dave put it together. It's the reforming of the Sons of God who learn to speak as Sons, not as slaves.




Many will leave this year scratching their heads saying 'Not sure what I believe anymore' Evolution will produce Revolution as He redefines language in the Church! Anyone having their theology challenged right now? LOL, Things no longer what they once seemed?




There is a call of God to come out from under condemnation. the Lord by His Spirit (of Truth and of grace) is pouring out Grace in a huge measure to cast out the Bond Woman Hagar who represents the Old covenant of the Law of Works from our midst.




There is a separation going on as those who are deeply rooted under the law of works and self effort fruits, are being shaken to find their roots in Christ alone, in Grace alone, in truth alone. Hagar (Law) has to submit to Sarah (Grace) and be cast out.




Galatians 4:21-26 NASB


(21) Tell me, you who want to be under law, do you not listen to the law?
(22) For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the bondwoman and one by the free woman.
(23) But the son by the bondwoman was born according to the flesh (self effort fruit), and the son by the free woman through the promise.
(24) This is allegorically speaking, for these women are from Mount Sinai bearing children who are to be slaves; she is Hagar.two covenants:
(25) Now this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to ) with her childrenthe present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery.
(26) But the Jerusalem above is free; she is our mother.


Galatians 4:29-31 NASB
(29) But as at that time he who was born according to the flesh (self effort, works, law) persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so it is now also.
(30) But what does the Scripture say? "CAST OUT THE BONDWOMAN AND HER SON, FOR THE SON OF THE BONDWOMAN SHALL NOT BE AN HEIR WITH THE SON OF THE FREE WOMAN."
(31) So then, brethren, we are not children of a bondwoman, but of the free woman.




The Law is no longer your Nanny, and it was never you real Mommy, but the Spirit of Grace is your Mother.




The Church is focused on casting out demons, but it's the Law of the old covenant which is the ministry of condemnation and of death, that needs to be cast out.




Law and Grace CANNOT live together in the same House (of God). We cannot worship two masters. We would either love the one and hate the other, or the opposite.


“Teach me your way, O Lord, and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart”, For great is your love toward me; you have delivered me from the depths of the grave. Psalm 86:11-13




He indeed gave us a new heart, undivided, one pure heart. Now our renewed mind believes that it is so.


Mixture (Babylon the Harlot) is NOT who you are in Christ. Do not be confused in your identity. You are in Christ and He is not a Harlot or a slave or your Nanny. He is Holy, Pure, righteous, Perfect, Beautiful, Beloved, Pleasing to the Father. This is how the Father sees you.


Choose pure grace and cast out the Law with its fruit from your House. You are the House of God if the Spirit of the Lord dwells in you.


The finished works of Christ is the only thing that can remain - it's the Love of God and the gift of God to humanity. Any other works, man's works to perfect himself, complete himself, be right with God, and any other teaching which preaches Law saying "you're no good enough" has to cease, decrease, and cut off.




May grace be poured on you in great measure and law will be cast out of your mindset, until all that remains is Christ. Until you say “First Adam, where are you?” and all you see is Christ in you, no longer YOU.






Much love and grace
