At 33, I AM has completely blown everything I've ever thought about Him out of the water! I have learned His true name according to the ancient Phoenician Hebrew, the truth behind many holidays that are celebrated in mainstream culture, and I have also learned to honor and keep the Ten Commandments in my life.
These truths are clearing away much pain, undue burden and also strengthening my faith. Although The Most High is mysterious in that His thoughts and ways are higher than ours, He does allow us to understand His heart for us and for the world around us. And at times, He shows us His thoughts...
In this season I am determined to remain under the tutelage of the school master (which is the law of I AM) to train my thoughts, my heart and to bring my entire life into alignment with the purposes of The Most High.
As I become more diligent in applying the Ten Commandments and other laws in my life, I am amazed by how many believers have come into disagreement with me.
I have been told that because believers are under grace we do not need to follow the law---not even the Ten Commandments.
I have been told that I should not follow or keep anything in the Old Testament because Christ is the New Testament.
I have also been told that it is impossible to keep the law because no man is perfect.
I believe that all of these are lies from the enemy that are designed to keep me in bondage to sin. And that have indeed kept me in bondage to sin for most of my life.
I found it ironic that when I first moved to Phoenix for law school everyone admired that decision. They all thought I was smart to become adept in the study of the US legal system. No one finds it burdensome or unusual to follow the laws of man.
But now when I say that I am studying the laws set by I AM, even believers tell me that I am making a huge mistake and leading myself to condemnation.
Praise be to I AM, that His mercies are new everyday! That He is so gracious and forgiving to allow us time to get our lives in line with His ways. Because of the mercy that He extends toward me, I am able to extend it toward others.
Scripture For Meditation:
Matthew 5:17-19 AMP
"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven."
Selah
