Isaiah 40:31 Yet those who wait on Jehovah will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles...
Romans 8:2,4 For the law of the Spirit of life has freed me in Christ Jesus from the Law of sin and of death.
That the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the spirit.
If you ask the birds whether they are not afraide of the law of gravity, they will say they never heard the name Newton. They will tell you we fly because it is the law of our life to fly. Not only is there in them a life with power of flight but that life has the law which enables these living creatures, quite spontaneously and consistently, to overcome the law of gravity. Yet gravity remains. If you get up early morning and there is a dead sparrow in the courtyard , your are reminded once of the persistence of that law.
God has truly been gracious to us. He has given us this new law of the Spirit, and for us to "fly" is no longer a question of our will but of His life...God never told us to force ourselves to be what we are not naturally.
The Triune God has been processed through incarnation, crucifixion,resurrection and ascension to be install in us as our life. He is the law within us. We can illustrate this by the electricity installed in our homes...No one who has the even the most elementary knowledge of electricity would call the power plant and beg for electrical power. What we do is simply switch and apply the power.
Often christians are like persons who call a power plant for electricity when all that is needed is to turn on the switch. The Triune God has been installed into us. Nevertheless when we are bothered by our temper, we may cry out, "O God be merciful to me and help me not to lose my temper. I dont want to lose my temper again. Please deliver me from this." This kind of prayer is never answered. The more we pray this way the more trouble you will have with your temper.If you continue to pray this way the Lord will say " foolish child dont you know I have been installed in you and that I am working in you as law? There is no need for you to cry to Me or even pray about this."
Our God today is not only the mighty One, the Redeemer, and the Savior. He is even more than just our life and life supply- He is a law working within us! Therefore instead of crying to Him about certain things we should simply "switch on" and.... enjoy the wonderful law of the Spirit of life, the very Triune God who has been processed and dispensed into us and who dwell in us. The best way is to walk in spirit and remain in spirit. In my experience the best way to be in spirit is to call " Lord Jesus!"
