Why Are Laws Important??!!

Exodus chapter 20




Today we are walking in: Why Are Laws Important??!!




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










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



Exodus 24:12



And the Lord said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law H2706, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.



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



Ezekiel 22:26




Her priests have violated my law H2706, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.






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




2 Chronicles 33:8




Neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from out of the land which I have appointed for your fathers; so that they will take heed to do all that I have commanded them, according to the whole law H2706 and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.




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.
