Why Are Laws Important??

Joshua 1

We are walking in today: Why Are Laws Important??


Witness observe throughout the Bible: H8104 shamar--to keep, guard,observe, give heed, to keep, have charge of, keep watch and ward, protect, save life, watch, retain, treasure up (in memory)

Deuteronomy 28:13 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath;if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD
thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe H8104and to do them:


The Torah testifies...............
  Exodus 12:17 And ye shall observe H8104 the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe H8104 this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever.

The prophets proclaim..................
  Nehemiah 1:5 And said, I beseech thee, O LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth H8104 covenant andmercy for them that love him and observe H8104 his commandments:

The writings bear witness...........................
 Joshua 1:7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe H8104 to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.

Psalm 105:45 That they might observe H8104 his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.

The key to life is order. Order comes from law. The source of law brings order. When you obey laws, you bring order to your life. The ultimate law therefore of life is law--because there's nothing more important than law. What does law do? Laws protect, sustain, preserve, they guard and they promote life. If you obey laws they will protect you, they will guard you, they will preserve you, they will sustain you and in the end they'll promote you. If you always do what is right I guarantee, you will emerge to the top eventually. People who take shortcuts, people who sell drugs become richer, people who sell their bodies to pay their bills or people who compromise in their jobs to get ahead--don't worry about that. Don't be jealous because of them! They will fail, because you cannot break a law. Laws break you. Without law, there's no definition in life. Laws define things. You put a seed on a tile floor and leave it there for 20 years, the seed will stay there and no tree will come forth. Why? Because you violated the law of the seed. So the laws defines what the seed must do. You must put it in soil, you must give it moisture, there must be light or sunshine otherwise the seed will never bring forth a tree. So you can pray over a seed for 20 years in the lobby on the tile floor, you pray, speaking in tongues, quoting scripture over that thing, casting out demons will not bring that tree out of that seed. Because laws cannot be substituted by prayer!

Prosperity doesn't come by prayer. The Most High says, “if you obey my laws and keep them meditate on them you will make your way prosperous”--Joshua 1:8

Prosperity doesn't come by prayer, it comes by keeping laws. The longest way to success is a shortcut--shortcuts means you violate laws. The Bible calls this trespassing. You know if you cut across somebody's yard instead of going around the main road, you call it a shortcut, don't you? But what are you doing?? Trespassing. Yeshua says forgive us our trespasses. Forgive us from trying to make life quick without going through the process of law. Forgive us for trying to use get rich quick schemes--that's why people get into problems with business. People offer a get-rich-quick scheme--you know, sell this or do that. That’s why gambling is really demonic not because you can't gamble but because gambling encourages shortcuts. A person that gambles. I guarantee you, they will always be poor. Even if they win once, they can be poor. Don't violate the law.

Now I want to show you the difference between natural law and super natural laws. Number one: Natural law is inherent in creation. That means is built into creation. Number two: Natural law establishes natural order. Number three: Natural law regulates natural relationship. Notice the word natural in the word nature. Natural law cannot be changed. Natural law has built in consequences. In other words, natural law doesn't need The Most High to punish you when you violate it. For example gravity is a natural law. If you jump off of a 10-story building The Most High doesn't need to kill you. Why? Because the consequences of breaking the law is built into the law. Can I suggest to you that The Most High really doesn't judge you. The laws he established judges you. Natural law has built-in consequences. Next natural law has inherent judgment. Again it tells us it’s predictable. If you keep smoking cigarettes, we don't need to wonder what happens to your lungs. If you keep drinking alcohol, we can predict what happens to your liver. There's no question about that. Your liver is given to you to purify the blood in your body. If your body's filled with alcohol, that you drink, the liver takes it out of the blood and keeps it. The alcohol burns the cells in the liver because of acidity and it becomes fried. It is called cirrhosis of the liver. Now you end up with a fried liver that cannot purify your blood anymore and the liver poisons you. The thing that is supposed to keep you pure becomes your poison. Why? Because the liver was never designed to extract alcohol. So you broke a law. There is built-in judgment. The Most High has never killed a smoker. The Most High has never killed an alcoholic. The Most High has never killed a drug addict. Never!! The Most High never makes you poor. You mismanage funds, buy things you can't afford, buy things you don't need, it’s a law with built in judgement.

Spiritual laws are very important. I just gave you natural laws. Spiritual laws number one are established by The Most High the Creator. In other words natural law and spiritual law have nothing to do with you. They are established by the Creator. You didn't create gravity. The Most High's wonderful design of the universe created gravity. Secondly spiritual law establishes your conscience. There is a law in your body called the conscience. It is in your mind. No one has to tell you when you're doing wrong. There's a law in your body that tells you, when you ate too much. You know when you ate something that ain't good for you. The person who's smoking cigarettes knows the cigarette is bad. Their conscience tells them this is bad. But the habit controls them. Your conscience is a natural spiritual law. Number three spiritual laws are inherent in the human spirit. All of us know sin. Even the guy who doesn't know The Most High knows when he's breaking the law. There are laws built into our spirit being. Number four, spiritual laws regulate supernatural relationships.

For you to relate to The Most High you have to obey some spiritual laws. First submission. You have to submit to The Most High. The Most High can't help you if you won’t submit. Number two, you have to confess that you don't know nothing. That's a spiritual law. If you come to The Most High as if you know everything, then why do you need The Most High? That is a law. A law of submission is not just of your body but your mind and your intelligence. The last one, spiritual law is built-in consequences. The wages of sin is death. So when your forefather Adam sinned, The Most High didn't put death on him, death was built into the law. Let me quote The Most High's Word. The Most High says the day you eat this fruit you will surely die. He didn't say the day you eat this fruit, I will kill you. The dying was in the act of eating the fruit. In other words, disobedience has its own built-in consequences. The Most High doesn’t need to judge us. So that's how powerful laws are. Laws are so powerful they have their own inherent judgment. You may think for example you getting away with some private things, The Most High doesn't know about. The Most High knows everything. He sees what you're doing when no one's watching and The Most High has given you some opportunity to solve this thing up because eventually it's going to destroy you. And if you are having an affair with sin, flirting with sin privately, and secretly, The Most High don't worry about you. The Most High won’t even judge you. It's built into the act. Laws are inherent.

Now the reason why I showed you that is because I want you to see the difference between the laws and rules. There is a difference between the two and it affects your success. Law is the inherent principles that regulate nature of life and relationships in The Most High's creation. I'm giving you the definition of law. Law defined is inherent principles. That means the built-in principles. They regulate the nature of life and relationships within creation. For example the tree relates to the soil because of a law. They have a relationship. If the tree breaks relationship with the soil no one has to kill it, the judgment is built in it. The fish must relate to the water. They have got to get along really well. If the fish decides, I don't like you anymore water, you don't need to kill the fish. The Most High never killed Adam. How does it look? Your relationship with me depends on you not touching that tree. I'm not going to kill you but if you violate that tree, that means the commandment of The Most High. It is not a tree, it's the fact that told them not to touch it. It’s in the law. He says I don't need to kill you, you will die. When a fish leaves water you never kill it, it dies. When a plant leaves soil you don't kill it, it dies. When a man leaves The Most High you don't kill him he dies. Is that clear? So the relationship is determined by the laws. How many of you drink gasoline? Nobody? Oh come on. You mean you actually go to a station every other week to buy this stuff, spend your money and you don't like it? You actually do something you don't like? Yes! The question is, why? See, you should do many things you don't like because in order for you to get something to function, you want your car to function, you need to keep that relationship with the gas station. So there's a law. The law says cars need gasoline and the station has it so you have to develop a relationship with the station. Constantly for the rest of your car's life. If you decide one day I will never go back to the gas station, your car says and I never drive anymore. So laws create relationship. Number two, laws are both natural and supernatural, both physical and spiritual to guarantee maximum fulfilling of purpose and potential. In other words, The Most High created all the laws to work in your favor.

We don't know the laws so we come to life experimenting, guessing, hoping things work out. My real simple job for the rest of my life, the reason why I am doing what I do, the reason why you call me maybe a pastor or teacher is that I teach the laws. Every day I get up, I just teach laws. This is nothing about anointing and all that deep stuff, this is really about laws. You can have an anointed fool teaching foolishness. You got some good preachers who know nothing about the laws, then make you shout but in the end you didn’t learn anything. No laws but you've got a good sweat, you still broke, poor, depressed, frustrated, don't know how to succeed and you've been going there for 50 years. It's not the preaching that sets you free, it's the truth, it’s the laws that set you free.

Let’s talk about the law of nature. Law is essential to life, Law is necessary for all relationships and the concept of need is the concept of law. Need creates law. Your car needs gasoline, so there's a law established by the need. The fish need water so there's a law established by the need. The plant needs the soil so there's a law established by the need. You don't want The Most High, you need The Most High. That's why you come back to The Most High. People think that coming to The Most High is a religious experience or something. No it isn't. It is you, getting to your senses that's all. Without The Most High you can do what? Nothing! The Bible says without the water the fish can do nothing, without the soil the plant can do nothing, without The Most High you can do nothing he says. This is not a matter of choice, it's a matter of need. You don't want The Most High, fish don't want water. It’s a law. Plants need soil, fish need water, birds need the air and their freedom, trees need carbon dioxide. They don't want it. And humans need oxygen. Now the problem with this is, humans don't produce oxygen and they need it to live. So there's a law that the humans have to protect the trees. That's a law. Every time you kill a tree, you're threatening your own life. So this is why governments are actually finding people who are cutting the forests, because they are about to destroy human life on earth. So actually there are countries like Guyana or Brazil or Colombia where the largest amount of trees exists in the world. They call it the Amazon forest. That is really an oxygen factory. So the United Nations is actually paying these countries not to cut the trees down. Isn’t that amazing? Maybe the Bahamas should start a new industry, tree planting. You can plant so many trees on these islands that they will pay you to keep the trees. Because the trees are the manufacturers of oxygen which we need. Law, in other words, law can bring you money if you understand the laws.

Challenging laws. Now when you challenge laws, you put yourself in a predicament. Humans are the only created beings that willfully, intentionally, violate natural and physical laws. We are the only creatures that do it. Fish never leave water, plants never leave the soil. They don't challenge the law. We are the only creatures The Most High created, that question the law, challenge it, violate, intentionally, and willfully walk away from it. We are amazing creatures. That's why there is global failure all over the world in every culture, every race, every ethnic group, people are failing by the billions, because they disobey laws intentionally. All other created things, submit to law, they obey natural law and spiritual law. Am I making sense? So let's talk about the law of humanity. First of all, The Most High created all things to live and function by law. But The Most High created mankind to live by natural and spiritual laws. That's why all humans must learn laws for relationships to be built properly. The reason why people fail is because they don't know the laws and therefore all relationships are products of law. How you relate to life depends on the laws so you are supposed to obey. Law is the key to success and prosperity. Do you ever wonder why The Most High told Joshua, if you obey my laws you will have good success? Do you know why? Because you can have bad success. He says he will make your way good and prosperous. Why? There is bad prosperity. A drug dealer has a lot of money but he can't sleep. Why? Because the brothers are trying to kill him! He got to stay up all night watching his money! This is not prosperity! This is torment!! Law is the key to success and relationships. Why? Because laws are predictable. Laws give you control over life. When you learn the laws, you can demand your own value! Your car breaks down, the mechanic knows the law and says $300. They don’t care if you want to argue. You want your car to work, I know laws says the mechanic, so it's $300. See when you know laws, you can demand your own value. Many of you may be thinking why didn't I hear this 25 years ago? Because you were in the wrong place now you're in the right place! Fiveamprayer Ministries LIVE here on Facebook!

Now let's look at laws versus strength. Sometimes a strong person is not smart. Let’s read what the Bible says in Joshua 1, the Most High told Joshua be strong and courageous, how? He says by keeping the laws! Your strength is proven by the laws you know and the laws you obey. A strong person, is the person who keeps law. I am not talking about ritual laws now, you know. I'm talking about the laws that The Most High built into life, that are inherent laws. The Ten Commandments are actually divine laws. You can't change them. I was thinking the other day, says Dr. Munroe, and The Most High said to not kill do not kill. That means anything that's alive could be killed, correct? You can kill a forest. Now why does the Most High say don't kill? Because when you kill you affect everything else. So these are divine laws--that protect life, that preserve life and make your way prosperous. Now I want to wrap this up with the difference between laws and rules. It is very important. True principles and laws are never broken, violation of law is impossible! You don't break laws!! That is number one. Number two, true principles and laws can never be violated! If you jump from a ten story building you didn't violate gravity, gravity violated you! When you jump off of a ten story building you didn't push yourself down--gravity pulled you down. Do you know the difference?? You didn't fall off of a ten story building. You were pulled down it! If gravity didn't exist you would have floated! You don't break laws. That's number three, true laws and principles break those who violate them. Number four, the Creator of true law does not have to impose judgment--these are important principles of violation of law. Number five, judgment is inherent in true law principles built into them. Number six true law and principles attract and activate their own benefits, I like this part and their judgment, I don't like that part. Can I say that one again? True laws and principles attract and activate their own benefits or judgment. If you learn the laws of life, learn the laws of creation learn the laws of spirituality if you learn them and you obey them they attract benefits. If you keep my law, Joshua you will make your way prosperous! That means you cannot fail. Failure and success is not up to the Most High. The Most High’s finished, He's created the whole thing, He put it in motion. When you know laws they cancel fear. Now you can see why laws are so important and we teach the Laws of Success. Law is the foundation, again I repeat, inherent in creation. It is the glue that holds the universe. It holds everything together. Everything exists by law, everything exists for law and without law there is no success! Now why is law so important I want you to get this, because right now there's some people preaching around the world about grace. I'm not against grace but I'm against the teaching that grace cancels law, be very careful. If you overdose on grace, you start abusing law. Overdose on grace and success runs from you. You overdose on grace and you use grace to break law--grace doesn't cancel law grace, positions you to keep the law. Let me prove it, the first statement of Yeshua HaMachiach on earth when he spoke about law is:
Matthew 5:17-19 (KJV) 17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Now the last part, says Dr. Munroe, was about me--but whoever practices and teaches these
commandments will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. And he certainly was a great man! Are you great? Yes because you are learning about how important laws are, you teach others right, Fiveamprayer?? You become great because Yeshua said so! I'm great, not only am

I great in the kingdom of the Most High, because I teach you to keep law not to keep grace! Grace forgives you so you could keep laws again! Laws and traditions are different. Traditions can give you failure. Most people fail because of tradition, if you're going to be successful you have to break tradition. Somehow we've made tradition and law the same, they are not. Let's read Matthew chapter 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. That word righteousness means to be aligned with the Most High’s laws.

So He's talking about the difference between tradition and laws. You don’t believe me let’s look at the next verse. Matthew 15:2 (KJV) Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.

Look at their concern of following the traditions of the elders over what the Most High has spoken, the law. I guarantee you with all my strength, says Dr. Munroe, that man has designed your failure! I don't trust no law of man this is very important. They said why do your disciples

break the rules and traditions of the elders, they don't wash their hands before they eat, sound familiar? Yeshua replied to them why do you break the laws of The Most High in place of your traditions or your rules?? Help us the Most High! The difference between law versus rule. Remember this all your life! What is law versus rules? Number one a general rule or principle that is thought to be true or held to be binding, the world calls that law. Number two, in the world, let's say that a statement of a scientific fact or phenomenon that is invariable under given conditions they call that law and that's not necessarily true because The Most High violated many facts walking on water--violated scientific fact opening the Red Sea the Most High violated the natural facts. Number three they say laws, our principles set out in the Bible especially the Pentateuch which is the first five books of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy.

They also say that that laws are a rule or conduct or procedure recognized by a community as binding or enforceable by authority. For example, in America some years ago they made a rule that black people were only 2/3 humans that means they were half animals that was a law in America, right? So they expected the procedure to follow that means a black man could never be treated like an equal human to anyone else so he was sold like you sell animals it's called slavery. Why? Because there was a rule that produced that conduct, watch this, and it was accepted by the community. So the white community in America accepted the rule that black people were not humans they were just partially animals. So to sell them and to treat them like that--to beat them and to burn them and to brand them with a hot iron was just like branding a cow. After all the rule is accepted by the community, that they ain't a real human so the whole concept was based on a rule created by the community and it was binding and enforceable by authority. That means authority gave you the right to buy a slave, to beat a slave, to brand the slave and to sell a slave. The community made that enforceable, that is how dangerous a rule is. Now what happened to that rule? Well there were other people who rose up and says that they are against the rule, why because there's another law, which says that all humans are equal, made in The Most High's image. So they had to find another law, they got that law from where? Genesis, right, so they say we found a divine law that says all humans are equal so the law became more important than the rule. This is why, says Dr. Munroe, I don't trust the rules of men! You can see why, the rules of men are designed to make sure you fail and to keep you from prosperity and success. The last one is the most frightening one. They say laws are an act or laws passed by legislature or a similar body, this is dangerous! I am going to say that again, a law is an act passed by legislature or a similar body like Congress. Now that's dangerous, they are making laws today, I call them rules, says Dr. Munroe, I don't call them laws. The Bible calls them rules and tradition. They are trying to make it a tradition that two men can get married, for example, they try to make it a tradition so that they can become acceptable by the community. Remember, the community now is the problem and they want to enforce it by authority, you have to marry two men if they come to you. Why? By law they say. There is a problem in some countries where if two women come to get married, you got to marry them. Why? The authorities have to enforce it. Why? Because legislature says it is a rule, which they call a law. Now, problem--they made a human law but natural law disagrees--the two men can’t have children. So you're human law cannot stop natural law or divine law. That's why we teach in this ministry the divine laws, read the Bible to get laws not just to get devotions! Read the Bible to learn the principles not just to learn verses! You want to go after the laws, show me the laws David said you teach me your laws I will not fail they'll preserve me. So act on what you heard!! Amen, amen, amen and amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shema selah are we overdosed on grace and turned away from the law??  Are we following the rule of men instead of divine law??
