Our victory is not in the law, our victory is in Christ Jesus. God ordained it so, and that is what delights the Father!
Jesus gave us an unavoidable counsel of God’s truth in John chapter 15 verses 5: "I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me [cut off from vital union with Me], you can do nothing" (John 15:5, AMPC).
In line with what the Father has already ordained in the Book of Genesis chapter 3 verses 15, see what the Bible says, "And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel” (Genesis 3:15, NKJV).
Any of us that want to seek relevance outside Christ Jesus in the hand of religion and the law is only walking against what has been written; heaven has ordained. Christ is the new covenant the human race has entered with God, our Father.
There is no flesh born according to the will of the flesh and blood that can bruise the head of the seed of the serpent regardless of how religious he or she is. As a matter of default, everyone born by the flesh shares the falling nature from the Devil, until he or she is born again nothing changes. That is similar to what Jesus said in the book of John chapter 3: "Except a man is born again he cannot by any means see the kingdom of God." It is not possible, neither in this life nor hereafter.
It is only a life that is immersed in Christ Jesus, the Seed and lives through the Faith that's in the Son of God (the Seed) that can overcome the world and every battle of life.
The major error we commit in this generation of believers that has robbed the Church of the fervent power of the Gospel is our altitude of operating the New Life with the old life's template. It doesn't work like that.
Even if the fish in the ocean were to develop legs today, it will still not be healthy for them to vacate the ocean and start living on land.
Our victory is never possible to be attained in the flesh nor by the lifestyle of the flesh, according to the dos and don'ts of the flesh, and all the laws that regulate fleshly activities. Even if we were at our best in all of that, they can never amount to our victory in the new life. The old life manner is life and religious practices are not meant to be imported into the kingdom life for the New man. The new life is the life of the Spirit and must be lived by faith in the Son God. (See Romans 8:14.)
We can't find the relevance for our lives outside Jesus, He is the life we have received, and the authority and glory of this life are stored in Him for our manifestation of the life of the Spirit. Let nobody deceive you, and give no heed to the religion of rules that is to no profit. The earth is waiting for our manifestation, we can only be relevant in Him not apart from Him. The energy of human life will fail us. Our victory is tied to living the life of the Spirit of God, and obedience to the leading of the Spirit.
