Virus Definition Source

(for context see previous post)

The flesh/law arrangement worked well until sin compromised its integrity. But the label and identity still remains. Our minds still think the Law of God originally written into our flesh is a reliable source of information about what is right. But what changed in the Garden of Eden was a substitution of Good vs. Evil instead of the correct view of Life vs. Death. It looked like a valid change because on the surface it looks almost identical. But the Good vs. Evil paradigm masks the real result of that thinking – they both end up in death. And when we use the Good/Evil virus definitions they do not catch all the hidden lies slipped through the flesh under pretense of valid LAW. That is why the LAW of God written in our flesh originally intended as a valid guidance system is no longer reliable. God had to add other resources that it is imperative for us to use if we are to have righteous output from our lives.

We need God's written Word as an objective source of virus definitions and we need our sync cable connected through our spirit to God's Spirit to correctly understand and appropriately apply the Word to the rest of the data and programs in our soul. If we plug our sync cable into the LAW socket in our flesh, Satan will feed us false sync signals that will distort the Word and misapply it while appearing to be completely reliable and true. This is left-brain religion and is very dominant in legalism.

(Romans 8:4) When we walk according to the spirit – our sync cable connected to the spirit/Spirit – we will observe that our output will satisfy the strict demands of the LAW/guidance system that we can still see written in our flesh. But it has to be observed, not attempted. Romans 8 is all about cause and effect. Where we plug in will determine whether we use the Good/Evil paradigm or the Life/Death paradigm. It will also decide the quality and reliability of the power we run on.
