Understanding the Law!!! Part 1

Matthew chapter 5




Today we are walking in: Understanding the Law!!! Part 1






Today we look to the word LAW-- H2706-choq-- statute, ordinance, limit, something prescribed, due, prescribed task, action prescribed (for oneself), resolve, enactment, decree, ordinance, specific decree, law in general, statutes, conditions, civil enactments prescribed by The Most High







The Torah testifies...............



Exodus 13:9



And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the Lord's law H2706 may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the Lord brought thee out of Egypt.





The prophets proclaim..................



Jeremiah 31:33



But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law H2706 in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.





The writings bear witness............



1 Kings 2:3



And keep the charge of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law H2706 of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself:




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.

Law and principles preserve the product. If it tells you to change the oil in your car every 5,000 miles. It's trying to tell you to preserve your engine. People are strange--they ignore the manufacturer--they will drive a car into the ground. That oil change light comes on and they won’t change the oil. When you open your drivers side door, there's a little white paper with notes and dates on it. Some of you never read that before, it's supposed to preserve your car because on it it has the laws of transmission and oil change and tire pressure levels. Your car was supposed to last for 15 years but it lasts for 10 because you violated the laws. You did not preserve the car by obedience to law.

Law and principles, serve the product. When you receive a law from a manufacturer, it actually serves the product. It keeps the product for you. This is why the manual exists. The manual is designed to protect and preserve and to serve the product. When The Most High gives us His laws--those laws serve us, they don't hurt us! They don't take away from us, they add to us! Laws and principles guarantee product function. If you want your life to function efficiently--then study the laws of the manufacturer that made you! If you want your stove or your car or your CD player to function properly, then you must study the laws of the manufacturer. There is something that happens with manuals--every time we buy a product, that little book is on top and we can't wait to get to the TV, right? We grabbed the book and threw it on the side. We start taking out the styrofoam. We are just going in there and grabbing that flat screen. Yes!! Then what do we do next? We go straight to the plug and then we start, experimenting trying to find the channels. Why? Because all the instructions are on the floor. We ignore the laws provided by the manufacturer. Where the law is absent, experimentation is necessary. This is important, law guarantees effective function. Laws and principles simplify product operation. Simplicity, this one's important. That is a big word simplicity. Laws simplify life! Young people, I beg you to listen to me. Life is not

complicated. When you are living your life outside of the laws of the principles of the Most High, you will have a life of regrets! Now you have memories that you don't like to remember! There are some memories you have that you always try to hide because you are so ashamed of them. Because you violated some law--ten years ago. The Most High gives you laws so you'll enjoy your memories. Laws simplify life. The Bible says, how can a young man keep his way pure? By adhering to the laws of The Most High, it says. Don't trust your

friends--they are not the law. Matter of fact they got their own laws, they'll make you obey. You need to stay with the Manufacturer's Book and say I want to study the law! I'm 16, but I want to know the law. I'm 20, but I want to know the law. I'm 35 and I want to know the law. I'm 42 years old and I want to know the law. I am 55 years old and I want to know the law. I'm 69 and I need to know the law. Why do we need to know the law? Because the law will make life simple. Let me give an example. Did your car come with an owners manual from the manufacturer?? This is actually the law of operating your car. This book tells you what to put in the car, what kind of oil, what type of gasoline. Am I right? Can you choose to use a different oil than what the manual says? Can you pump a different type of gasoline in your car? Will you get the best result out of your car? But what about the built-in laws?? Built-in law that your car requires gasoline--if you run out, do you need to pray? No! Do you need to fast? Do you need some prophets to prophesy? Do you need some CDs from TD Jakes and Joyce Meyer? Do you need to attend a conference in California? No!!! If your car has run out of gas--life is simple. Find a station and put some gas in. You've got to simplify life. The reason why we are confused about daily decisions is because we don't know

the laws of daily life! Do you know what to do in every

situation? That's the question, we are gonna look at today. Why are some of you victims to the law of confusion? What we need to do is simplify life, learn the laws!

Law and principles bring peace and confidence. Your car is on empty, you don't get upset. You know where to go, right? You stay peaceful, there's a station, no problem! You pull in, your confidence is, I know what I'm doing is right. I need gasoline. It brings peace, I know what to do. And confidence I'm doing the right thing. If you don’t know what to do you panic. Then your blood pressure goes up, your free radical cells take over and your body can become distressed and diseased. This is because of stress. Why? The law could have protected us from sickness. If you know what to do and what you are doing is right you live a peaceful life. So lack of law creates turmoil and stress. When you know the law, you can go to sleep and rest. And always be calm, because you know that you are following the law. Let me put it another way, when you ran your last red light, do you remember how you felt? You start checking if there were any law enforcement officers behind you. Why are you so nervous? What's wrong? And now your blood pressure goes up. Your

heartbeat starts racing and your whole body's under stress. Why? You just did one thing, really one thing you did. It was so simple, just ran the red light and now your whole body goes into all kinds of dysfunction--because you violated the law. Especially in the Bahamas and you are on vacation from the US, you gotta know they drive on the opposite of the road. They may have different traffic signs you may not have seen before. So if you are unfamiliar with the traffic laws for this new country that you are driving in, are you permitted to drive just any old way?? Fiveamprayer, is the law still the law, even if you don’t know that it is the law??? Does the law get validation by the authority that created it, over those who are to uphold it? So while in the Bahamas you are driving faster than the speed limit but you are unaware, does that stop the police man from pulling you over?

Should you cry out to the Most High about all the stress that you are experiencing in trying to follow or keep these new-to-you traffic laws? So the law says you violated the speed of 20 mph in crowded areas, can you just call out to Yahushua not to get caught? It's amazing that we use Yahushua to break the

law! On the other hand when you are driving at the proper speed for the area, you are at peace when that police car drives by. This is why you feel guilty when you're, sinning His name

is the Ruach HaKodesh. He brings what we call conviction. Conviction gives you stress. If we insist on living lawlessly, we won't have a good life, a happy life. How much could and would change if we led our lives according to His law and not the whims of men, doctrines of men, emotions and feelings all the time?? Just do right, all the time. The problem is we don't know what is right, because we haven't studied the law.

If you learn the basic laws of life--it is simple, easy!

Laws and principles protect against experimentation. If you know the law you don't need to experiment. Experimentation is a sign that you don't know the laws. Life should not be an experiment, you shouldn't be operating by trial and error through life! Let’s try this. Oh, I hope this works. I believe it might work. What are you doing?

Laws and principles are the enemy of fear. Whenever you know laws and principles--fear goes away. If you follow the laws of life, you'll never be afraid.

Once you give, for example that's a hard thing to teach because it's so difficult for people to believe. If you just give, the Bible says: give and it shall be given to you--multiplied. It's more blessed to give. It's a law but it's so hard to do, for some of us. We are professional expecters, we love to expect things. I'm expecting a miracle. I'm expecting a blessing. What have you done to expect it? It's a law, you don't go reaping where you did not sow. You can't expect a harvest if you didn't plant seed. It's a law, somehow we just believe we can violate the law. The Most High's gonna bless me. What did you do to guarantee the blessing? It's hard to get. It's a law. Law, is the enemy of fear. Once you know that, you give it to The Most High. Then you can go to sleep--The Most High's working on my behalf. Something's happening! I don't know what it is, but I already connected that law. Let me tell you, giving an offering protects your future. I say it every time I give, I am protecting my future! I connect it to my future--I cannot afford not to give. The Most High can't multiply which you never gave up! If you gave nothing He can multiply that--you gonna have a whole lot of nothing! The prophet Elijah meets the woman, who had two meals left and then she says we will eat these and die. This woman already had a future worked out and Elijah just showed up. He was not poor, nor broke, but The Most High sent him to create a chain reaction for this woman's life. And he said give me a meal first. In other words, activate The Most High. She gave.

The Most High is saying didn't I tell you to give that? That will be no use to you right now. Five bucks can't pay your light bill, put it in the ground. It's a law. Never eat your seed. Plant it. Giving is the only area where The Most High says test me. You know why? Because it's hard to do. He says test me, prove me. In other words, walk out of this place with nothing in your pocket. I dare you. He said test me. I'll embarrass you with blessings. But it's a law and it's a hard one because we love to have what we can see, not what The Most High promised.

It takes faith to obey The Most High's laws. So what does this mean then for wisdom? Look at this, write this down. Knowledge of laws and principles are the source of wisdom. People think I am smart. Some people think that I'm intelligent, others think that I am full of revelation. I am NOT! I have a good memory. I memorize the laws of The Most High--that's all. David says if I hide your laws in my heart I will become wiser than my teachers. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

Now let me break that down to practical terms. The fear of the Lord is what? The beginning of wisdom. What does it mean to fear the Lord? It means stopping at the red lights. If you don't fear the laws of the United States, we are in trouble. If we don't fear the governor of our state’s laws, the constitution this whole country is in trouble. Fear brings order when you fear the law. Do you know why the church is so corrupt and so immoral? The fear of The Most High has left the church! We have sinners preaching in the pulpit every Sunday, which is the wrong day! We have demons in the choir. We got stuff in the church and everybody is still clapping. You know what the preacher is doing! You know who he's sleeping with. So you keep attending knowing that both the preacher's girlfriend and wife are sitting there listening to the sermon!! That is what no fear of The Most High looks like. If there's no fear, there's no honor. I told you all what The Most High said. He said this year he's taking no prisoners. Some of you have already seen some things happening. The Most High says I'm not protecting anybody anymore. Fix yourself in secret, otherwise I'm going to make it public. Stop disobeying my law! He is going to expose everybody! I don't know what you're doing right now but it better be holy! Because we all are going to find out, I guarantee it. The Most High is going to move the cover from everyone!! That which is done in secret, He says shall be made known from the rooftops. So make sure your secret life is good enough for public consumption. If you are ashamed of what you're doing, stop now. Don't forget I gave you this warning.

Make a note, knowledge of laws and principles, produce boldness. When you know the law and you know how to do it, you are confident, bold! That's why Dr. J is so confident and comfortable in the midst of power. I can sit in the presence of anyone who thinks they are powerful and reduce them to students. Why? Because I know the law. I know the principles that make them function. I know the secrets to life and when you know the laws of The Most High, you can walk boldly in life without being intimidated by anybody!! All because the law of The Most High is always right. That means you'll always be right, even if they don't agree with you. You will still be right. The law of the Lord is right, Psalm 119 says. Always right. So don't bring your opinion to life. Learn the laws! Write this down please, wisdom is laws and principles applied. A wise person is someone who knows the law and applies them to their lives. That's a wise person. Therefore it's important to remember that laws and principles are more important than power. I am afraid of powerful people who have no principles, because they will use that power to destroy. Principles protect power. It gives power legitimacy. It makes power have authority to function. Therefore if a person has no restrictions in their lives and they have power--you are in danger!

Never follow people who don’t have principles! Don't follow powerful people, you know sometimes it's tempting!




You meet a young lady, she has a good job in the bank, she walks around with a briefcase and drives a BMW. This is a powerful young woman and here you are-- a carpenter and you think you know well this is a big catch here. But she doesn’t have any principles. Then you are in trouble. That there is power, in a skirt, without principles. You meet a man, who is perfect! This guy is the CEO, in charge of everything! He’s got all this money and these nice cars and here you are, you're desperate. That's power. He even has a power tie on! This guy is sharp, but he has no principles. What are you going to do? He asks you to sleep with him before you are married, that's power without principles! Your first response, I think I made a mistake. Excuse me, leave my presence I thought you had principles. I thought there were some laws in your life. To protect me from you and you from me. Laws are more important than power!!! So we find this interesting statement. Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. Yahushua said this. This is a scripture we have been looking at for years!! Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets I have not come to abolish the law but to fulfill the law. Yahushua is speaking, He is the king of the country!



He says, I didn't come to replace law with grace--don't misunderstand me!! Don't even think, that I've come to destroy the law or the prophets. I came to fulfill them and then He says I tell you the truth until heaven and earth pass away not the smallest letter of the law written by the pen will be disappearing from the law. It will not change, everything in The Most High's book will stay--in fact it will all come to pass! The Most High says don't you dare attempt to live in my kingdom without the law! The law has rewards!! Fiveamprayer, laws have rewards--that's deep stuff right there! Laws have rewards, in other words if you plant a seed you don't have to pray the plant comes up. Once you obey the law, it is a natural result. Laws of life, cancel the need for prayer. You are not supposed to be praying for food and clothes and water. HaMaschiach says, Take no thought of these things. So then what are you supposed to be praying for? Seek ye first the country of The Most High and remaining in right standing with the laws and these things automatically are added. The word HaMaschiach used is, it automatically arrives. In other words if you have a label for blessings, you are in religion. All of this, “I believe the Most High for this car.. I’m holding on to my faith for this car... I am trusting the Most High for this car...” That’s worrying. Just activate a law, give and say “Most High, this is toward a car” and then go to sleep! Law destroys work. Religious law makes you work!! I am gonna say that again, religious law makes you work! Kingdom law, makes you rest. This is why religion is so tiring. You have to keep all these rituals, they make you tired. Hamachiach says, come unto me all you who are heavy laden with all these religious laws and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. My yoke is easy, my burden is light. Keep the commandments of the Most High, He says. It is automatic. Write this down, do not think, which means do not consider, do not imagine, He said, do not even dream--that I've come to destroy the law!! Do not even think that I have, don't assume that I came to destroy the law!!! Do not suggest that I came to destroy the law!! Do not even entertain the idea, that I came to destroy the law!!!
