“When you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, you are saved from the law of sin and death and the capsule of the old man dies. You die and Jesus comes to life in you. Yet more than that, you come now from heaven instead of this earth!”
John 17: 23: “I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that you have sent me, and have loved them, as thou have loved me.”
There is a magnificent love that God the Father has for you. He loves you, just as He also loves Jesus. What He did for Jesus, He does for every one of His children, without partiality. You are born again, that is, “reborn from above.†Your Father is the Father of lights and you are of Him. Your make-up is from Him. You have His DNA and His likeness, not to mention that you are heir to His eternal Kingdom.
Jesus said to the Pharisees, “You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.” (John 8:23 NKJV) Here is a key issue of who we are and where we are from. We say that we are of a certain nationality, family line, bloodline, country, region or citizenship. Yet Jesus said to Nicodemus, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (John 3:3 NKJV) The literal Greek words for “born-again” can be translated, clearly as, “re-born from above.”
What this means is, when you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, you are saved from the law of sin and death and the capsule of the old man dies. You die and Jesus comes to life in you. Yet more than that, you come now from heaven instead of this earth! Your citizenship is the New Jerusalem that comes down out of heaven. You are from above. The old man that died came from this world. The new creature has been sent from heaven above.
You did not come up from the watery grave. You came from heaven. You therefore abide by the laws of heaven, which have a higher authority than the laws of the world. That is why Jesus was able to walk on the water. The laws of physics are under the authority of the “law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus” from which we abide.
To obey the laws of the land is meant to be the strategy of God to show the world a kind of righteous that they can see. These laws are political, common and social laws. Yet, these laws are not inclusive and though we are told to obey them, we must do so only as long as they do not over-ride the laws of the higher authority, to which we have submitted ourselves unto. It would be treason to our King to do so. This is why Christians have been thrown in jail and even been executed for two millennia.
In order to see the sick healed, we must obey the higher law. It is that high law that comes from heaven that over-rides the laws of physics and changes the very physical nature of molecules, cells, tissue and even the activities of organs in a body. The laws of physics must bow to the higher authority of the nature of the One Who is from above and not from the world. If He had been from the world then He would have to obey the laws of the world. He is from above and has fully obeyed the laws of the Kingdom from which He comes. He comes in the name of the one Who is the authority of that Kingdom. He does the will, (law) of His Father and the all the laws of creation yield unto the “law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus!”
