Understanding The Law, Part 1

Matthew 5

We are walking in today: Understanding The Law, Part 1

Witness understand throughout the Bible: H8085 shama`--to hear with attention or interest, listen to understand (language)

Job 34:16 If now thou hast understanding, hear H8085 this: hearken to the voice of my words.

The Torah testifies...............
Gen 11:7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand H8085 one another's speech.

The prophets proclaim..................
Neh 8:2 And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and all that could hear H8085 with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month.

The writings bear witness...........................
1 Ki 3:9 Give therefore thy servant an understanding H8085 heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?

Pro 4:1 Hear, H8085 ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.

Fiveamprayer, today our focus is understanding the nature of law. I am going to say that again, understanding the nature of law. What is happening to my life, is a result of keeping laws. You obey the Most High's laws, things come to you. If you disobey the Most High’s laws, things move away from you. So our focus today is understanding, what? The nature of law. We want to zero in on why law is necessary. Every time you hear the word law in the context of the traditional evangelical Christian doctrine, you become afraid, so I want to show you without a doubt--that the Most High, does not operate outside of laws!! He is the Most High of law! Let's begin with a few statements I wanted to make a note of:

The purpose and the passion of the Most High, for you and all of mankind is a very simple one. He wanted to establish His heavenly kingdom on earth. And we will keep repeating that here on Fiveamprayer forever! The earth was made for mankind, heaven is the home of the Most High!

A kingdom is not a religion. A kingdom is a country and countries are built on law. All countries, the Kingdom of Heaven is the first country in existence. It's invisible, but it precedes every other nation in existence. It's the first country in existence, created by The Most High Himself and heaven operates on laws. If you don't believe me, then explain why hasatan/Lucifer was ejected from heaven?? He violated the law!!! You don't try to be the Most High!! Every angel, the Bible says, has a state. The word state here means position and hasatan whose name was Lucifer at that time, was responsible for the department of culture. The Bible talks about Lucifer being the director of music and also director of sound in heaven. He was in charge of culture. He was responsible for the atmosphere in heaven and I want to warn those of you who are in the area of culture. Because culture requires visibility, when you are involved in culture. Whether it is dance or music or public speaking or any kind of artistic work. You will notice that you are always up front and that can go to your head. Because people begin to look at you and you begin to hear their response and you get confused and you think it's about you, This is why most of our entertainers keep falling whether it is in the church or in the secular environment. They keep falling, because when you are on the stage--there's a temptation to believe that it's about you. And the Most High will pull the rug quickly! So there's law in heaven, don't violate the laws of position! Nations are built on law!

Living in a kingdom requires submission to law. So to live in the kingdom of the Most High, you must submit to law as you do in all countries. Why do you stop at a stop sign? That is submission. You hold in your hands perhaps a hundred and fifty horsepower engine, you got the power to run that light, but why do you stop? It's called submission. Submission always implies the presence of power. This is why the Most High told the woman to submit to the man. It's a sign that the woman is perhaps more powerful than the man and the greatest mistake men make--is they believe they are more powerful than a woman. If you don't believe me, study history and see what destroyed most of the leaders of men! They miscalculated the power of the woman if you don't believe me. Ask Adam. Ask Samson. Ask Joseph--she made him run out with his clothes off!!

Submission therefore indicates that you have the power to break a law. The reason why there's breaks in your car, is proof that you have power. The only way for you to live on earth successfully is to use your brakes. Your life must be under control. The Bible calls it self discipline. Discipline means you have the power to break the law. So all nations operate on law and the citizens must obey, submit to and they must be under law--in order for the country to be orderly. If everybody ran the red light, could you imagine? There would be chaos in our country. Thou shalt not steal, it's a law. If everybody walked into your house, off the street and started taking your furniture and your food and walking out of the house--there would be chaos! It's called home invasion. Law preserves the country.

Law is the key to successful living in all nations. Show me a country that is deteriorating and I will show you a country where the citizens are disobeying the law! Stop cursing the law! Law is the greatest gift The Most High gave to creation! What keeps planets from colliding? It is law. What keeps this earth spinning on its axis? It is law. What keeps you standing upright? It's the law of gravity. Everything has to do with law. Don’t believe that the law of gravity must be followed? Go to a 10-story building and tell gravity, I defy you! Then jump off the building--gravity will do its job. You will be recalled back to heaven!

I want to show you a scripture, that you never saw before, at least you thought you saw it before. It's found in Luke chapter 16, Yahushua makes a statement concerning the permanence of law, which means that law will never go away. Don't you ever think that grace came to cancel, law. Grace came to magnify the keeping of law which we will discuss later on.

Verse 16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. 17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.

So let’s take a look at this slowly. This is the Mashiach speaking concerning the law--He says the law and the prophets were proclaimed up until who? John, okay fine. Then John came, what did he bring? He introduced the kingdom and the king. So it says, since that time the good news of the kingdom of The Most High is being preached and everyone is forcing their way into it! The kingdom! They're trying to find it! Okay so, we are excited about the kingdom! Becoming kingdom citizens--we are excited, but you are getting what you call saved. This is really about citizenship! The forefathers of the church got you excited about being saved by grace--now Yahushua, knows us very well. He's the King, He says look, I'm gonna bring you into My kingdom. Again look at that, I'm preaching the good news of the country of The Most High again, but he puts forth this statement

He said it is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the least stroke of a pen to drop out of the law. What He is doing, He's balancing quickly--I'm gonna give you the kingdom but you better keep the law. I'm gonna give you grace but you better keep the law. I'm going to give you salvation but you better keep the law. Look at His words again, He says the good news of the kingdom is being preached, however it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away before one stroke of the pen is moved from the law. In other words thou still, shall not commit adultery. Thou still, shall not bear false witness. Thou still, shall not work seven days and kill yourself, rest on the Sabbath, it is the law.

Look at another statement, law and principles. Everybody write quickly this--is important. Law and principles protect products. When you buy a CD player, a telephone, a refrigerator, or a car they always send with those products a little booklet. That booklet is a law, the book tells you what to do and what not to do with the product. It tells you how the product functions. It tells you how to make sure it functions successfully. It also tells you what they call, cautions. Every manual has a page called caution. Caution means don't do this, thou shalt not operate this iron, near water. Thou shalt not put thy finger in the socket when thou puts the iron in the socket. Thou shalt not take the iron and put it in a tub while you are in the tub and it is plugged in. In other words these are the, thou shalt not’s or cautions for that product. But we hate thou shalt nots!! But it's the thou shall not’s that protect us!! Don't get me wrong--every manual also has thou shall. Thou shall plug it in. Thou shall turn it on. Thou shalt select the proper heat settings. So in the owner's manual you have them both, the thou shall’s and the thou shall not’s!

What we have missed in our lives is, we are trying to live in the kingdom of The Most High--so much on grace, that we violate the laws of it! I am gonna say that again, we try to live in the kingdom of the Most High so much on grace that we violate the laws of it! Law protects!! Law protects you. Law protects me.

This is something that parents taught their children about following the laws a number of years ago. Making sure children grew up to be law abiding citizens! Chastisement, correction and punishment, is protection. We don't have enough of that in families anymore. We got parents discussing things with kids--negotiating with teenagers! Are you crazy?? My mother had a fantastic forehand! She could hit you around the corner and you asked who hit me and she's in the kitchen. She knew how to apply reminders, that there are laws in this house. And the reason why people break law in society is because they never kept a law in their home. Law, protects.  Shema Selah Fiveamprayer hear, listen and obey and consider the wisdom of our Abba to tell us the thou shall and the thou shall nots for our lives!!!
