THE LAW KILLS - ALBERT ELISHA OBERDORFER - SAMPLE
If you allow the law to intrude into your life, it is a serious matter. It will take away your joy in the Lord. It will make you grumpy and miserable. It will affect you profoundly. First, within, and then, in turn, everyone you are in touch with around you. But why does the law—for a believer—have such a profound negative effect? Simply because we were not meant to live by the law. Putting believers under the law is a severe offense in the Kingdom of God. It is to be resisted at all costs. Because it promotes self-effort. And with it, either pride or condemnation. As Spirit-filled believers, we are meant to live a life led by the Spirit. “The letter kills, but the Spirit gives life,” Paul writes. We are to live the Romans chapter 8 life. Not the Romans chapter 7 life, which is inevitable when we come under the law. Read the revelation knowledge in this book with an open heart and ask the Holy Spirit to quicken to you these things of the Spirit. So you may gain a heightened awareness of the law, and how to stay away from it. So the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus can take you to places in Christ that are your rightful spiritual inheritance.

8 <strong>THE</strong> GALATIANS.<br />
<strong>THE</strong> GALATIANS started off well.<br />
They experienced a real conversion.<br />
Which included receiving the Holy Spirit.<br />
And we don’t receive the Holy Spirit<br />
because we qualify ourselves.<br />
We receive the Holy Spirit only because of<br />
what Christ has done for us.<br />
But then people came along.<br />
And swayed the Galatians.<br />
They confused them.<br />
There is a witchcraft spirit behind this.<br />
So Paul writes,<br />
1 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched<br />
you that you should not obey the truth,<br />
before whose eyes Jesus Christ was<br />
clearly portrayed among you as crucified?<br />
2 This only I want to learn from you: Did<br />
you receive the Spirit by the works of the<br />
law, or by the hearing of faith?<br />
3 Are you so foolish? Having begun in the<br />
Spirit, are you now being made perfect by<br />
the flesh?<br />
