the fulfillment of its substance. As one born of God you are called to cease from your
              own labors seven days a week. Additionally, you should not condemn those who do
              not observe the weekly Sabbath. Paul says to the saints, “Let no one judge you” in
              these things.
                    The goal of this writing is not to promote lawlessness. No Christian is given carte
              blanche to do whatever his soul desires. All are to be led of the Spirit. It has been my
              purpose to lead the saints to a Spirit-led life. Christ declared that we are to be perfect.
              The Law makes nothing perfect. Only the Spirit of God has this power.

                      Jude 24
                      Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you perfect
                      before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy...


                    If  you  have  been  born  again  of  the  Spirit  of  Christ,  you  have  received  an
              exceedingly precious treasure. The Spirit within you has the capacity to transform the
              most wicked and vile into spiritual men and women who walk in righteousness. Every
              dark area of your life can be made light. Every enemy in the land of your flesh can be
              subdued. Every stronghold can be pulled down. Every giant in your life can be slain.
                    Moses’ ministry ended in the wilderness. He was not permitted to cross the
              Jordan. It was Joshua (Yahshua) who led the people into their inheritance. We must
              leave Moses behind that we might follow our Savior in to take possession of the land.
              The kingdom of God is within you. Though you come to Christ when sin has reached
              its fulness in your life (as it had in the land of Canaan), Christ is able to subdue every
              enemy and transform your body into a land of righteousness and peace.
                    Let as many as would be perfect lay aside the shadows and begin to follow the
              Spirit of Christ who goes before them. He will lead you into battle. If you will walk in
              faith and obedience, He has promised you the victory. No enemy in your land will be
              able to stand before you all the days of your life.
                    Moses  was  not  permitted  to  lead  the  people  of  God  into  battle  with  their
              enemies. Even when battle was engaged with Amalek prior to crossing the Jordan, it
              was Joshua who led the people in battle. The Law has no power to subdue the sin in
              man’s flesh. Christ Yahshua has conquered both sin and death. If you will follow Him,
              He will lead you to victory over all the enemies in your flesh.
                    In this book, I have laid a foundation for discerning the role of the Law. If you
              have further questions, I encourage you to seek the One who has all wisdom. You have
              no need for any man to teach you. The anointing teaches you all things. If you lack
              wisdom, ask of God. Believe He will give you the wisdom and understanding you seek
              and it will be given to you.
                    Test all things. Examine all things carefully. It is needful that the saints become
              proficient at rightly dividing the word of God for themselves. The children of Israel
              begged Moses to speak to God for them. They wanted someone else to tell them what
              God was speaking. It is not to be the same for those in Christ. The sons of God have
              access  directly to the Father. They  need not even  petition  Christ to disclose  the
