Understanding The 4 Types of Laws | Dr. Myles Munroe

thank you for joining us for another power packed message from dr miles monroe provided by monroe global incorporated and monroeglobal.com we transform followers into leaders and leaders into agents of change we hope that this message is a blessing to you as you advance your life and discover your purpose now let's go into the of message the four types of law and this is this is the spirit that jesus brought to earth all right i'm on praise god understanding what what did i say please write that down i'm checking understanding what success is predictable and so is failure and all nations succeed or fail based on how they deal with law because the foundation of all nations is law and as we celebrate in the united states for a few days ago independence america is over 250 years old and yet america is struggling so age doesn't make you wiser or better we are a young nation 37 years old and i hope we listen to the word of god today as individuals and as a corporate community secondly remember this that nations are built on law and they are sustained by law this is very important nations are not built on culture even though many countries focus on culture they forget that culture is a product of law so a nation is only as successful and the quality of those people in that country are only as successful as their submission to law every problem in our nations is a result of the violation of law all problems why because all societies must adhere to law if they are going to keep order in the country and we are suffering from disorder in all of our nations the solution to national decay is not difficult but it's not easy the solution is a return to law therefore if we're going to build a strong community we got to believe and understand that community is created by law our country is only as strong and adhesive as the people's willingness to keep the law now there are a number of things that law does for a country and i want you to write them down all nations are built on law because nations depend on law to keep national order have you noticed that whenever there's disorder in the country you always put your attention on the law enforcement people the police the defense force and the courts if you notice that whenever there is an increase in crime or increase in homicides everyone talks to the law enforcement areas we look to the minister of national security we look to the police commissioner and we look to the supreme court judges why because all three of them are called law enforcement agencies whenever there's disorder you get a deal with law because law does a few things number one law guarantees national security national safety national prosperity national development it guarantees national pride and national wealth law also guarantees national culture if you look at that list you can see that law really guarantees the nation so whenever you decide to not understand law submit to law and obey law you become a national security risk and this is why when we talk about living in the kingdom of god we must understand that the kingdom of god is not a religion the kingdom of god is a country and the purpose of god was to establish his kingdom on earth so that earth can become a colony of heaven and therefore the kingdom of god is a country it is not a religion a kingdom is a nation now the kingdom of god is a supernatural country it is the first country in existence it's invisible but it's more real than earth therefore if the kingdom of god is a kingdom then it must be built on law and that is why this point number four is so important the key to living in the kingdom of god is like in any other country you have to submit to its laws we are obligated to obey the law if we are citizen of a country because laws are the keys to a successful citizen living in a nation do you know that if all the people in the country keep the law then nobody will be robbed nobody will be killed there'll be no abuse of children or destruction of property or removal of people's property therefore there'll be less financial need to finance guns for the police and police patrol cars and investing in more jails in other words when people keep the law the country prospers do you know that most of the budget of our nation now is going to law enforcement because when people don't keep the law taxes go up the same thing has to be remembered when we enter the kingdom of god the kingdom of god is only as effective as our capacity to obey the law of god matthew 16 verse 19 jesus talks about the laws he says i will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven whatever you allow on earth or whatever you bind or disallow on earth heaven will disallow in other words when you come into the kingdom of god if you obey its laws whatever you demand on earth heaven will support whatever you stop on earth heaven will stop it heaven gives you laws that affect life on earth therefore the keys are representing the law god's desire therefore is to bring the kingdom of god on earth so that he can have the laws of god on earth and what do lords do they produce a culture jesus said when you pray pray like this our father who is in heaven hallowed be thy name thy kingdom come to earth thy will be done on earth just like it is in heaven now if heaven is a nation of laws then earth must become a planet of laws so that god can have his will done on earth god's goal therefore is to fill earth with the culture of heaven write this down culture is a product of law culture is a product of law this is such an important truth whenever a government makes a law it's creating a new culture for example if the law of a country allows people to gamble that's it becomes law then you'll find that your five-year-old child will develop a culture of chance and in five or six years the whole country will become a country of luck and in 20 years people will have issues with a work ethic in other words a culture will develop where people will spend more of their resources on chance than on investment it begins with just one law when the united states passed the law for legalized abortion in states that would allow it it created a culture of legal killing do you know that over 500 000 babies are killed every year in the united states the bahamas is only 300 000 people so they actually kill more of people than our country every year in the womb why because of a law now when you give a law to destroy babies and babies are humans then you'll find that the value placed on human falls because the culture of death becomes legal so it's easier to destroy people by homicide and by murder if law allows murder legally in other words the country becomes confused if a person is only six weeks old they can be killed but if they are six years old they can't be killed so you're confused are they not the same person the law says if they are a certain age they're not a human when does a human become a human it's been the issue of the whole discussion in other words laws can produce a culture that can create an entire generation of people who have reduced the value of human life the power of law law is inherent regulations and principles that control and regulate nature god created laws that govern relationships god created laws that govern the spiritual world the natural world and the physical world and these laws are built into creation by god now humans make laws and god's concern is all human law should be based on natural and divine law when a human law contradicts natural law or spiritual law then a new culture emerges that is destructive god says there's a way that seemed right unto a man but the end thereof is the way of death god didn't create you to live without law write this point down please human relationships are built on law how you relate to your parents is supposed to be a law the bible says this is the law obey your mother or your parents rather and only your father and mother that's a law in the ten commandments why god make it a law because it's good for society if the young respect the old you'll have a society of order but god's laws protect relationships thirdly social relationships are products of law and therefore law is the key to prosperity in the country i was thinking the other day i was reading an article it says that children brought up in a home with one parents have less of a chance of success in in education higher education than those who were not now that's not true in all cases but they say that the majority of their study shows that when there's a breakdown in the family it affects the future of a child so when god says to love your wife and respect your husband he's protecting the next generation so the respect for law guarantees prosperity for the country that's why when jesus came he came to earth to restore the law of god we lost the order of god because when you have law you have order many people say when christ came he came to bring grace and therefore he came to cancel law of course that's not true because law is kept not to obtain salvation and grace it's kept because you are saved in other words salvation and grace was given to keep the law god doesn't want you to obey the law so you can get saved he saved you so you could obey the law is that clear in other words we are not saved or redeemed by the law but we are saved and redeemed to keep the law this is why in the church there's so much immorality lack of values and deterioration in people's relationships because even in the church there is this lack lack of respect for law and order this is why many christian people love grace because they use grace to violate law you heard people say well i'm gonna do it i feel like doing it when i finish doing it i'm gonna ask god to forgive me why because god loves me so they go ahead and they do what they have to do it's against the law of god and then they run to god and say forgive me give me some grace what they're doing is they're using grace as license to break the law write this down grace without law is forgiveness without discipline we want to be forgiven we don't want to be disciplined you cannot live in a country without discipline you cannot be a citizen without discipline every citizen in our nation who breaks the law if they are proven to have broken the law we remove themselves from society where do we put them in prison why because they are not disciplined enough to live in society this is the same thing about the law of god god did not bring his grace to earth to cancel law he came to earth to make sure that we keep the law and just in case you don't believe me in matthew chapter 5 our foundation scripture for the year and you'll see it on our banner at the bottom matthew chapter 5 verse 17 the first statement about jesus concerning law he said do not think i have come to destroy the law or abolish the law or the prophets who spoke do not think i came to destroy why did he say that because he knows that we would develop a theology which would cancel law and most of our protestant denominations and groups have come to them to the level where grace has taken over their lives to the point where they don't need law anymore the words of jesus again matthew chapter 5. he says do not think i have come to destroy the law because i know you're going to think so and then he runs a step further he says i have not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it i came to make sure that you can keep it and then he went one step further he says if any of you teach others to disobey the law you are least in the kingdom of heaven but if you obey the law and practice it and teach other people to practice it he says you'll be great in the kingdom of god in other words not one jot or tittle in the law will be cancelled because of my grace on the cross it is not a substitute for law grace does not replace law grace takes you back and gives you the responsibility to keep the law again you know look at this verse again everybody read it together out loud matthew 5 19 read anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven really but whoever practices and teaches these commandments and laws will be called great in the kingdom of heaven stop right there read that again whoever what practices okay but i thought she was under grace i'm not under law i'm under grace he says look whoever practices the laws will be called what great and whoever teaches others to keep the laws will be great i am so saddened to see what's happening in the church the church is so lawless we got pastors living like hoodlums and mafia and harlots and still preaching say amen man leave me here by myself in other words it seem as if anything goes and you're still saved we need to listen to the words of jesus he said if anyone practices and teaches others to keep these laws they shall be called what great in the kingdom of god this verse will be repeated all year because we need to remember he said do not think i came to destroy the law and then he says your righteousness must what surpass that of the religious leaders what he does here is he cancels ritual law and re-establishes divine law the pharisees and scribes were so busy keeping ritual laws which is one of the laws but ritual law is not what god sent christ to restore matter of fact jesus came to cancel ritual law and to reinstate divine and natural law because he created both the divine world and the natural world ritual law is always temporary but natural and divine laws are permanent he said i came to fulfill the word fulfill means these words write it down it means to enforce it means to explain or restore it means to put the spirit back into the law to fulfill means he came to demonstrate how it's supposed to be practiced in other words he brought back to earth what the law meant he didn't cancel it therefore we are obligated to live according to the laws of god and god gave us the holy spirit the governor to give us the power to do what the law says someone said to me well you know i can't keep the laws of god listen i remember a woman who jesus met who was caught in adultery and he said to her before calvary go and sin no more that was before calvary she didn't have the holy ghost and yet he said go and say no more was he lying to her was he telling her that she cannot do it which means somewhere in your conscience is the ability and the will to do right you don't need the holy ghost to help you do right oh lord i'm in trouble now see some of your you matter of fact y'all you're not you the one behind you you all take the holy ghost into your sin with you you hear the holy ghost saying don't do this please don't do this i'll be right back and you go on your sin and then you come back saying now please forgive my holy ghost in other words you you sin with the holy ghost in your body because keeping the law is a matter of your will and your conscience this is why we need to line up now let me tell you why it's so important to understand this because law represents a number of things write this list down this is new here law is first of all regulation is also known as decree it's a statue everybody's a statue when you read the bible all through the bible it says keep my statues keep my statues what is a statue a statue is something that doesn't change when you go downtown in the bahamas you'll see a lady sitting in a chair right in the middle of the of the square what's her name victoria she'd been there before i was born she can be there when i leave she's like the law never change when it's hot she's smiling when it's cold she's smiling when it's raining she just sits there and smiles when you curse at her she smiles when there's a hurricane she sits in the middle of in other words laws don't change for nobody christ says the law is a statue laws also mean a cannon or that which is set it's a tenant it means a ruling that rules your life you know when you hear them talk in the in the courtroom about this is a ruling what they're saying is this statement rules your life it is a ruling that you will stay away 50 yards from that person from now on do not go within 50 yards to that woman now the judge said that's a ruling rule means what rulership that statement rules your life law is something that rules you so a law also is a rule it becomes the king of your life law also means commandments a commandment is a law that is repeated when i give a law it's called an instruction when you repeat it it is called the command do you see it so god gave moses what instructions ten instructions when he went down to the mountain he gave them the commandments of the lord he repeated them my job is to give you the commandments of the lord why he already gave the instructions in his document here in his constitution my job is to repeat those laws which means i give you the commandments of the lord that's why christ says if you love me you will keep my commandments that means when i say something do not fornicate do not commit adultery do not bear false witness he says i'm giving you the command it becomes the ruler of your life you're supposed to live under that rule it becomes an act or an edict in other words a formula you can depend on now let me take some of the formula part a law becomes a formula everybody's a formula oh please get this one now when does a law become a formula every law has a condition it also has built into it a consequence all laws have conditions and consequences that's what makes it a formula for example the law of a seed is it must have water and nutrients which is in the soil so i have a seed and i want a tree with fruit that's what i want that is the promise of the seed every law god gives has attached to it a promise but it also has a consequence now if i want that seed to bring forth the tree with fruit what do i have to do submit that seed to the laws of seed i got to put it in the ground and give it some water now do i have to pray for the tree to come up are you sure no i'd have to pray why write this down laws make success automatic that makes it a formula a formula is when you can predict the outcome of something that's why it's called a formula now most of us are struggling with the formulas of god for example god says give and it shall be given unto you that's a law but it's also a formula give and it shall be given unto you i remember when my mother was alive my father hi dad my father's here stand up dead my dad is 86 years old in may just gone get my big hand that's how you look at 86. i love you my daddy i love you so much you're the best daddy in the world my father and mother taught us something my mother said all the time she says she would take the bread from our table and give it to the poor people in the neighborhood and we will just get like piece of it and reach the one why she kept giving she said because your father's salary is not enough to take care of 11 children so i can't depend on that i have to give in to god's economy she says so she would bake 10 cakes and only one was for us and she would give him to all these popular neighborhood and then she would say this she said do you remember the scriptures boy it says cast your bread on the water and not many days afterwards it shall come back and she kept saying that and then one day she told me she said son if some of y'all waiting for your ship to come in she says you can't wait for your ship to come in if you ain't sent none out she was dealing with what a formula she understood the formula if you put it in certain things come up if you put it in certain things come out that's when a law becomes a formula god says watch god god says israel god says you are poor you are naked you are uh begging you are corrupt your whole society is falling apart nothing is working sounds familiar and then the people says why is this happening to us god says because you break the formula what formula you wrote me they say how do we rob you he says i gave you all the formula i gave you a law and i predict what would happen if you break the law they said what have we done he said you did not pay your tithes and your offerings and now watch him now he gonna quote the formula he said he says if you bring the tithe there's a condition into the storehouse that's the law see if i would not open the windows of heaven that's a formula and all of that will come a blessing you ain't got room to contain that's the consequences that's the promise now watch the other side of it he says but if you do not bring the tie into the storehouse that's disobedience he says the devourer will come and eat up all your crops that's the consequence a law has that kind of power by the way i'm getting ahead of myself here but laws free the judge from personal responsibility are you listening to me this is very important what i'm saying write that down the law does what frees the judge from personal responsibility that's why judges are protected the judge simply says look the law said this and the law said if you do this the law said this will happen this ain't personal for me my job is to simply tell you what the law says what happened if you do this god doesn't judge you god said do you know why you poor israel because you robbed me by not obeying the law of tags and offerings in other words i didn't make you poor poverty is built in to stinginess am i coming through there's a law of heat and fire right yeah you put your hand on fire you don't need god to burn you there's a law built in which means that everything that you and i are experiencing is a choice you can decide to turn your life around today by simply deciding i'm going to change the laws i'm obey i'm going to reconnect with god's laws i'm going to do what god told me and god says if you obey me i will open the witness of heaven in other words your action creates a reaction from god which produces a result in your life it's a formula that's why next word is important it's a principle principle means first first law laws are that which is established first by the manufacturer and no one can change them that's why they're called principles your car runs on gasoline you didn't decide that the company did who made it therefore it's a principles of gasoline that keeps your car running principal prince means first principle means first law don't trust people who keep adding laws to the manufacturer's product well i know god says marriage is between a male and female but we can add another law we have a female and so we got this new law god says where did you all get that from i never made a creature like that before then our answer we don't need you no more we can put a penis on a woman and vagina on a man we don't need you no more we could be get surgery now man god leave us alone so we actually add something god knows nothing about and when god sees this thing walking down the street god says that's new i don't know what law governs that but that don't work it can't produce nothing can't reproduce nothing it can't produce can't bring nothing they made that that's why i can't produce laws are principles principle means first regulation first law whatever god laid down at first still remains are you all with me it's important to read the bible because the bible is the book of first laws and god said it's not good for man to be alone so god made for him a wound man a man with a womb that's why we call him woman it means wound man so the partner of a of a man is a wound man it's a mammal the womb ain't supposed to be your partner and if you ain't sure your man checks if you got a womb don't worry about the ponytail and the hair rings you gotta check for the womb if you ain't got a womb he's a brother you could paint your paint your face up put on your wigs put on your lipstick you can put on even even a little bit of pops in your breasts but you ain't got no warm i don't care how you walk how you do use a brother because you can't produce no baby no womb you as a brother settle down take your week off or get married to a woman is anybody here don't you better clap cause i'm looking everybody said the law cannot be changed that's why no legislation in parliament or congress could change your rectum to an entrance yes i said that can i say one more time i don't care how many mps vote how many cast their votes in congress no legislation can change your rectum to an entrance it is an eternal exit it's the first law cannot be changed can i hear an amen that's our powerful glories so what do we do we tamper with god's laws we think we're smarter so we have debates on what marriage should look like and we rearrange the formula you know we say but two women can get married well god doesn't know but that the manufacturer is concerned you know it's like it's it's like buying a mercedes and then putting toyota parts all over the thing you know that ain't gonna run long oh man can you imagine me marrying a man who dresses like a woman every time i go to bed i gotta take what's up what is this brother you use mercedes we got toyota all over you patrick toyota you can't run like this this ain't gonna work by the way when you tamper with a manufacturer's product you could write this down the warranty is cancelled that means god don't take responsibility for nothing he didn't create that's your problem you got gotta deal with that and that gonna self-destruct in your presence i remember one time i had an old impala and i used to keep the empire because you know i was just kissing school trying to you know get myself together and i used to crash that and power up take it to mechanic every week something was wrong with it it was an old car and i said i could call a mechanic name because you know you all might know him but i took bakari and i said man some raw this carburetor and uh he said don't worry i can fix that and he got accommodated from a car in the dump he says i can borrow an extra hole and i can let it fit and i can you know i need force this carburetor on my car you remember carburetors yeah and he falls in my car and he said in running he came back the car the car ran for two days when the car finished running i didn't only have one problem that's when my car died everything in the engine was messed up because it was a foreign pod god have mercy on us say neighbor leave god's laws alone and obey them all right let me give you these four laws and then i want to pray for you because we got to get these laws right now this is important to write down because a lot of people listen to serious saying oh dr miles saying we should get back on the law you know we supposed to be free from law are we under grace no listen carefully read the whole bible let's clear it up there are four types of laws one number one ritual law ritual law is secondary law it is always temporary and it is ritualistic it incorporates customs and systems it also incorporates programs and all of these are required to restore and correct problems we call them redemptive laws for example in the old testament god introduced well let me let me back up if you go to genesis chapter one and two there are no written laws in that chapter adam had no laws written anywhere why because the law of the law was in his mind he understood how to live then adam was given one command everybody said command the one command god gave was thou shall not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil for the day you eat of it the consequences built in you will surely die get it good okay so adam now is in the garden we don't know how long adam lived there i don't live in a garden for six thousand years we don't know that but one day something happened a foreign invader came to the garden influenced his wife she influenced him and adam break the law now follow me carefully there was no written law in that garden for however however long they lived there but now the law is broken and we got the consequence called death what does god do he has to what correct the problem so what does god do god immediately goes into a ritual law the bible says and the lord killed a lamb around and took the bloody skin and covered them with it what's god doing he's creating a ritual law because he got to use it to correct the problem but notice the words it's always temporary that's why every year until jesus came they had to kill a lamb once a year to cover the sins of their family why it was a ritual law but so therefore the lamb everybody say with me okay the lamb killing began with god the first lamb that was killed was in the garden of eden when god killed that lamb and put that bloody skin over adam and eve remember what adam and eve was using to cover themselves this is very interesting they were using the very same thing that got him in trouble i paused for a fact do you know that when you sin you always use sin to cover the sin see once you lie you got a lie to kept the first lie and then the third lie gotta cover the first second or third lie and then by time you get the fifth lie you forget what truth is and then you start living a lie where you been i've been seeing my cousin that's not true man you've been sweetheart what time you left here six o'clock you left your mother six o'clock yes i called your mother don't don't call her don't call her don't call don't worry she ain't home say now you're lying three times see and then the lie continues in other words whenever you break the law you gotta break another law to cover the law you break what god adam and eve in trouble a tree what are they covering themselves with a tree so what does god do god says look there's no blood in leaves you need blood to cleanse your sin so god says i'm i'm i'm gonna provide some blood and the bible says god killed the lamb and took the leaves off them and covered them with the lamb's bloody skin they were covered in blood that's how they were able to live through that period in the garden and from then god's watch gardener god says now your children got to do the same thing you remember cain and abel okay what did the cane bring to god fruits and vegetables and leaves and plants no blood what did abel bring to god a lamb sheep blood whose offering was accepted abel who was rejected cain who got jealous cain who killed who can't kill abel why because abel brought blood in other words you don't bring what you feel like to god you bring what god demands it's a law now ever since abel bought that lamb it was blood required since god killed that first animal i watch god so the ritual law was you come before god with blood every family for six thousand years had to bring blood i mean for four thousand years rather have to bring blood every year they came to the temple every family member to bring a blood some of the the kids bought turtle dogs a bird you know they had to bring an animal the every family parent had to bring a animal a goat or a sheep and everybody it was a bloody and then one day god says that's it no more rituals i'm gonna bring in my divine law i'm gonna go down myself and become a lamb and i'll provide my own blood and i will spill my blood once and for all so the ritual was done away with is no longer a lord of kill lambs and now he has the spiritual divine law of god which says when john saw christ john said behold the lamb that takes away the sins of the world for the lord himself john says have provided himself a lamb therefore we need to kill lambs no more you ought to give god thanks this would have been a bloody building if we were still ritual laws now the second kind of law is what legislative law this is this is a a law that humans create got to watch this one legislative acts are passed by governments and they are applied to human relationships now god is not against you creating legislative laws but your legislative laws should always be built on his law otherwise they are unrighteous law so when you talk about no people say this dr monroe why is the church getting involved in politics why don't they mind their own business come on your politicians you know what i'm talking about talking to some of y'all why these preachers leave us alone let us make these laws they supposed to be preaching we supposed to be covenant wait a minute wait just a minute don't touch that tv we can't trust none of y'all none because we ensure that the laws you create will be on the foundation of his eternal divine law so he sent us to just checkmate you all the time just check you to make sure is that lining up with god's divine law this idea that more people are for something than against it is very dangerous that's why democracy is so effective because you can have enough people to vote for something that is evil and try to make it good you gotta have a reference to make a decision and the word of god and the laws of god are the reference for any decision you make as a country and this is why we got to make sure young people listen to your papa you got to make sure that they never remove from our constitution the preamble the preamble says this convert the islands shall be governed based on the historic christian faith what they're saying is this country will make laws based on biblical principles that's important now there's some folks in our society who want to remove that because they don't want to refer to the word of god for no laws legislation that is not in line with god's word is illegal and we must not sit by and watch people create laws that govern our children that are not in keeping with god's laws that's not a religious statement that's a national statement it's for our own salvation and sanity if we don't have laws that preserve and protect the integrity of just just nature we are going to destroy ourselves the third kind of law is natural law everybody's a natural law write this one down it's original inherent law you know it's that rectum thing i talk about you know the rectum the rectum is a natural law your colon has a garbage disposal nature everybody say natural it's from the word nature there are some laws that are in nature you are naturally a female you are naturally a male and god don't miss i was born like this oh no you weren't somebody touched you up and got you confused some years ago but no say you're born that way natural law and natural law is a dangerous law for example the oil in the gulf was there for a million years minding its own business it never came to the surface i'm gonna say this again it was there for a million years and god has natural controls built into the earth's crust that keeps oil from messing up our beautiful ocean it's there you know but it's it's hidden it's protected preserved could you imagine we never have a natural oil spill anywhere in the caribbean what do we do we take one pipe and we say we can drill this thing we're gonna puncture god's protection the oil isn't a look i've been under here for six thousand years i've been minding my own business and i can tell you all now i got plenty pressure everybody said with me does everybody say nature natural natural it's a natural law now here you go with your piece of equipment because you built equipment machines that run on this thing called gasoline and you need more nature says okay puncture me at your own risk because i responsible for what happened after you poke hole in me i don't understand what i'm saying they violated a natural law i hear people say that's called a prayer meeting to pray for the oil spill i'm sitting there going right nature was behaving itself we poke a hole in it that says look you look i got a lot of pressure and this oil is coming out it was under pressure for six million years whatever and you put the hole in the thing and the pressure starts coming up now you got to deal with the pressure so what we've been dealing with is a good lesson of what we do with our lives god says you thirteen and we never had sex okay here's the law don't have sex until you're married keep that animal asleep keep the pressure under you're laughing this is what god is saying in other words when god said don't forget he's telling you don't puncture that pressure because once you puncture that it's over you've let loose an appetite that will fight you to your grave that's why god says do it after you're married so you can let all the oil out you don't gotta be shame hold on come on come on am i right or what yeah let me tell you something sex is a sleeping giant you don't wanna wake him up before time some of you all say they meant a lot but you know what i'm talking about you walking around just like this praise your lord hallelujah oh i gotta hang on to this once you break that hole you puncture that pressure nature takes its course and it becomes like drugs if you ain't never smoke a cigarette don't smoke the first one if you ain't never take drugs don't you take the first hit because once you wake up certain cells in your brain putting them to sleep becomes a problem you know what i'm talking about right and you gotta tell people look don't touch it god says he doesn't explain a lot he just says don't do this don't do that that's the law he's protecting you from an oil spill but now we got to try everything in the world to cover it up hey all kind of machines going out there don't worry try another one don't worry another one so what get married quick paul says if a man a young man is behaving unseemly with his his uh because it fiance watch god now god says this in the bible though you're listening okay the bible said young people doesn't mean a bible smart god said this is found in first corinthians seven it says if you are not married you have a girlfriend a boyfriend if you all begin to become sexually interested in each other the bible says marry quickly he says because you burn it once you start burning you can't put that fire out that oil is spilled you try everything you know in vain town when a person get get get pregnant the father get a shotgun somebody you can marry my daughter why you don't puncture the oil the spilling you could handle this pill yourself it's responsibility it's natural law and all of life have natural law built in and if you keep god's laws and learn them you will always have a good experience natural law are built into creation you can't change them and the last law is what spiritual laws spiritual laws are those that are established by god for divine relationship you know on all the laws we have in the bible that it have to have to do with relationship with god are divine laws you know giving for example is a divine law forgiveness from those who offend you is a divine law when someone has offended you the bible says forgive them quickly that's the law why he said if you don't then you will have burdens on your own bones it says bitterness will create cancer so the laws of god are divine and you cannot adjust them you can't avoid them you can't program to go away they ain't going nowhere they're just like natural law those two laws are important natural law and divine laws are so intertwined that when you obey one you end up paying the other automatically so here's the three things about those laws number one ritual law is what temporary and that's the one that we are free from we're no longer under ritual law we are under grace but we are still under legislative laws still under creation laws and we still under spiritual laws so the law we are free from is ritual law ritual laws include all those systems god gave the priests and you know where this robe and where this turban and where this sashing you know put these stones on your chest and you know put blood on your thumb and what's on your air and a big toe and all this stuff god told the old testament for this stuff we don't do that anymore christ took care of that that's done away with but not the divine laws and not the natural laws but not the legislative laws that god put in the word of god for us to to follow and this is why we must teach on law hebrews 10 verse 1 says read let's talk ritual law read the law is only a shadow of good things that are coming not the realities themselves for this reason it can never by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year make perfect those who draw near to worship god see that all those were shadows but when the real lamb came we don't need to follow ritual laws anymore he says that's the difference but here's another verse i want you to take home with you read it says this in the book i want to read this verse here galatians read is the law therefore opposed to the promises of god absolutely not paul is writing paul is writing this paul says read for if a law had been given that could impart life then the righteousness would certainly come by the law but the scriptures declare that the whole world is what prisoner of sin that's the problem so that what was promised being given through faith in christ jesus might be given to those who believe in other words sin came by breaking the law grace came so that you can be restored again so you can keep the lord look at verse 30 23 read before this faith came we had hell being held prisoners by the law why the law locked us up what do you think puts people in jail you break the law the law lock you up we break god's law it locked us up away from god's promises but paul says what he says it locked us up until fate came and was revealed the faith is we believe in the work that jesus did that's faith grace look at verse 24 so the law was put in charge to lead us to christ in other words we put you in jail so you can be rehabilitated amen why do people go to jail for the hope of rehab now what is rehabilitation okay okay i can't believe you all missed that one okay what did you do to go to jail you break the law so the jail is to what correct you that's why it's called a correctional institution what is it correcting you to do ah you get it the law locks you up until you learn to keep the law it doesn't cancel the law paul says the law locked us up until fate came so that it could reveal to us that the law was put in charge to lead us back to christ and christ is what the law giver so you listen no matter what you've done god has forgiven you but he forgave you so you don't do it again he don't want to use the forgiveness to keep coming to the altar every weekend after you finish messing up he gave you forgiveness so that you could keep his laws and don't come back into prison no more is this clear it says so that we might be justified by faith now that faith has come we are no longer under one the supervision of ritual law we don't need to be walking around with lambs and goats and all that stuff anymore we have been set free forgiven from all the rituals but we still have to keep the law the laws that are divine and the laws that are eternal so god is a god of law his divine laws are inherent never change laws are never canceled you learn to keep them again god's divine laws are eternal god's divine laws are not tradition god's divine laws are given to protect your life and tradition restricts and controls creativity but god's divine laws are permanent and they give you prosperity and life tradition is always temporary but divine laws the ten commandments are forever let me ask you a question is there a time when you when you could eventually stop stealing can you can you outgrow thou shall not lie is thou shall allah still is still a good lord yeah about covetousness is that still a good law every ten commandment is still a good law even keeping the sabbath resting one day a week is good for your health so god says look i know you ain't gonna rest because you want plenty money and you want to work two jobs and kill yourself so here's the law you rest one day you have to make it a law because you know that we would not want to rest and if you don't rest you make yourself sick and then you blame the devil god says look take a day off every week and recapitulate yourself recreate yourself recreation recreate and restore your life i take a sabbath every week why it's just plain sense no law of god is a bad law and the greatest law in the world is this one if any man break the law christ has died on the cross
