    THE LETTER KILLS – II CORINTHIANS 3:6

    ROMANS 7:7-13 – THE POWER OF THE LAW TO KILL.

    7:23 – THE LAW WARS AGAINST ME – GALATIANS 5:17

    THE LAW ENTICES ME OR BEGUILES ME TO DO SOMETHING IN THE FLESH.

    TO MAKE MYSELF BETTER, THEN ACCUSES ME WHEN I FAIL.

    OR FILLS ME WITH PRIDE WHEN I SUCCEED.

    FIG LEAVES OF ADAM AND EVE – JOB’S PRIDE.

    LEAVES OF KNOWLEDGE AND TRUTH.

     

    GALATIANS 5:1-14 – obligated to keep all of law if decide to keep one law.

    PANDORA’S BOX - BREAKING THE LAW BRINGS THE CURSE – GAL. 3:10

    Demons look for doors of attack and will come in like a flood.
    Our doors are our weaknesses that the Lord wants to strengthen us in.
    When we become a law keeper, we invite the spirit of death.

     

    Jesus left us ONE commandment – LOVE.

    THE NEW COVENANT IS ALL ABOUT THE HEART – HEBREWS 10:16-18

    A promise to be fulfilled by God and no longer a command to perform – period!

     

    EVERYTHING ABOUT THE KINGDOM NOW BECOMES SPIRITUAL – A HEART ISSUE.

    No physical circumcision, but circumcision of the heart.

    THE FEASTS –

    PASSOVER – Walking in our salvation with the armor of God – Gospel shoes.

    PENTECOST – Led of the Holy Spirit with tongues and prophecy and gifts of the Spirit.

    TABERNACLES – Produce fruits of the Spirit as trees with leaves (truth and knowledge).

    (JEREMIAH 24 – Good figs and bad figs and no figs as in Mark 11). (Figs 66 times in Bible).
    [TABERNACLES NOW EACH WEEK]

     

    14 YEARS NOW, WE HAVE SOUGHT TO KEEP THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES (Number of deliverance)

    GALATIANS 3:10

    GALATIANS 4:9-11

    GALATIANS 3:1-3

     

    THE BLESSING OF ABRAHAM

    Favor

    Wealth

    Fruitfulness – in old age

    Total submission and obedience

    Provision and Protection

    Direct fellowship with God – Friend of God

    Revelation – A city whose builder and maker is God
