For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. Romans 10.4

The Law of Moses was the best the Israelites could have, because Jesus was yet to be born and, because of that, the devil acted as if he ruled the Earth. When Jesus came, he put an end to that institution, because the Messiah fulfilled all the requirements of the Law (Matthew 5.17-18). Since then, God’s grace for salvation and, by faith in Jesus, to work all the other blessings went into effect. Christians do not need to worry about fulfilling the Law.

In the Old Covenant, the Lord had created some rules that would help people to live well. At that time, the sins of the people, even after confessed, were not removed from them, but covered. Therefore, animal sacrifice was necessary in order to atone for sin. It was only through Jesus’ blood shed on Calvary’s tree, however, that sins were forgiven and removed from the sons of God.

In the New Covenant sin was a done deal. Now, he who confesses his transgressions and leaves them is forgiven of all wrong and purified of all iniquity. Faith in the Messiah brings justification to those who heed the Gospel. We are made whole in Christ, becoming true winners.

When you believe in the Word of God, you can hear him and thus receive faith (Romans 10.17). This gift will bring to your heart the assurance that a desired blessing belongs to you. From that moment on you can claim what has been revealed to you and, if that is the case, rebuke the demon that is causing the problems that are afflicting you. Faith has to be expressed in firm words, demanding the evil to leave or a solution to the problem.

If you do not believe it will happen as you have commanded, even though you are full of faith, faith enough to move a mountain, nothing will happen. Believing activates the faith and gives you the power to get the work done. All things are possible to him who believes (Mark 9.23), but the opposite of that trust in God is doubt. When doubt comes it keeps God from working. All you need to do is command. Do it and the work will be done.

We do not need to return to the Law, because it ended in Jesus. Faith makes us march towards the goal, so that we can accomplish what has been revealed to us. We, who are in the grace, have all we need to press forward and win over the forces of darkness. There is no reason to allow yourself to be controlled by any temptation coming from Hell. With the Name of Jesus, you not only can, but you must demand all that does not come from the Lord to leave your life.

The acts of faith done upon a revelation from the Most High are acts of justice that will be executed. Every Christian has to be a doer of the divine justice. The Lord has anointed us to make His will be done on earth. When the Word tells us something, we need to claim what it says as ours, because we are the only ones authorized to use the Name that is above all names.

In Christ, with love,
