Law or Spirit?

I read this on the CCK blog written by the wonderful Joel Virgo (who I note is joining the speaking team at "Together on a Mission" in Brighton in July!);

. The law condemns the old heart
· The Spirit gives a new heart
· The law gives instructions
· The Spirit gives companionship
· The law puts nails in the coffin
· The Spirit sows seeds of life
· The law veils our eyes
· The Spirit opens our eyes
· The law makes you a slave
· The Spirit makes you a son
· The law promotes to compliance or hardness
· The Spirit promotes love and joyful obedience


And yet again - I just wonder why on earth we drift so easily and "comfortably" back to adding "just a bit" of law into our new life in the Spirit? We are DEAD to the law! Jesus Christ cancelled it at the Cross and by doing so He DISARMED the principalities and powers! For heaven's sake - let's stop making the devil's job easy for him by rearming him with the law.

Dan, in case you're not doing a Jesus in John 7 and telling everyone you are not going to the feast...when in reality right now you are taking a taxi to the airport and going to Hong Kong....well in case you are not doing that

take a look at this link about timing in God. http://www.revivalfires.org.uk/downloads/articles/trevorbaker_timeline.html
It contains stuff like Peter Stott's Ps 24 message...stuff like John G Lake's experience of transportation and stuff on God's timings and plans for this year.I found it in Paul Noble's Face book Group "Prophetic Voice". I also put the Ships'Propulsion unit picture in there...because the Holy Spirit just released it 9 months later in a powerful time in the last Key of David meeting. I may not get to preach, but people do allow me to share, exhort and prophesy.
