THE SPIRIT OF THE LAW BRINGS LIFE; THE LETTER OF THE LAW BRINGS DEATH

My Dear Precious Child,
    The Spirit of the law is good, but the fleshly strictness to the letter of the law is evil. Take, for instance, the strict fleshly interpretation of the law that advised the Israelites to keep the Sabbath holy.  The occasion that precipitated My advising Moses to tell the Isrealistes to take a day of rest was that in their former slavery to the Egyptians they were worked seven days a week from sun up to sun down for several generations, and even more than that, to the detriment of their mental, physical and emotional health.  Slaving seven days a week every waking minute became their tradition because of programming by the Egyptians.  My institution of that beneficial advice to take a day of rest was necessary for their mental, physical and emotional well being. 
   Under slavery there was no day to rest their bodies and minds in order for them to recuperate from responsibilities and thus effectively, as a result, establish a close relationship with Me.  However, the devil took that law that was meant to at least bring freedom for them one day a week from physical and mental obligations to their slave drivers, the devil took it to the extreme and used that law to require the people to restrict all activities one day a week, the day chosen by their religious leaders.  The law, which began as My advice, that was given with a good purpose by Me, because of the devil's influence on the religious leaders My advice was perverted by the devil in the minds of religious leaders and used to judge, condemn, and also punish people who did any activity on the day chosen by the religious leaders.  The devil took it to the extreme in the minds of religious leaders and caused the leaders to even demand death for picking an ear of corn on the day that the leaders had set aside as the day of rest.  (Leviticus 24:13; Matthew 12:1-8)
    One Sabbath when Jesus and His disciples became hungry and were walking through a corn field, He picked some ears of corn and they ate the corn. That sent the Pharisees into high gear of accusations, guilt, blame and judgment.  They threatened to enforce the religious and political law of keeping the Sabbath holy, which required death of the lawbreakers.  Jesus had already inflamed the religious and political leaders by calling Me His Father, which broke the religious law of saying My name aloud. Jesus reminded the Pharisees that the priests worked on the Sabbath themselves, which was also opposed to the laws with which they were using to judge and condemn people.
    Jesus told the Pharisees, who were the political leaders and religious policemen at the time, that My character is to have mercy, not require sacrifices, and that if the Pharisees understood the real reason behind My beneficial advice about the Sabbath that they would not have condemned the guiltless.  Jesus left there and went to the temple on that same day, the Sabbath, and healed a man whose hand was withered.  It was those two acts of mercy that caused the Pharisees to form a council to destroy Jesus Christ.  Their accusation was that He had refused to keep the Sabbath by going to the temple and making sacrifices to Me and instead He had picked ears of corn, eaten them, and also healed a man on the Sabbath, being merciful to people.
    Jesus Christ summed up the benefits of My advice to people, saying that the laws were supposed to be advice to enhance the lives of people, that My advice was not meant to become laws with which to accuse, judge, condemn and punish people.  It was the devil's influence upon the religious and political leaders that caused pollution of My loving words, influencing the leaders to use My words of advice against people by using them as a standard by which to judge people instead of My loving advice being used for the benefit of people to make their lives enjoyable and free from evil in the land which I gave to them. 
    That pollution of My words of beneficial advice is still being used by religious and political leaders of your time.  My truth as revealed by My Holy Spirit will make you free from religious and political curses caused by the devil influencing the leaders to accuse, condemn, judge and punish people by erroneously using My words.  If the words of religious leaders bind you to condemnation and guilt, retreat from those words or you will inherit all of the devil's curses and wonder what happened to your faith.
    My truth makes you free.  Study My words in this truth, and ask My Spirit to reveal My truth in them so that your days in My kingdom of heaven while you live in the earth will be happy and peaceful.  My Spirit makes you free.  Religious laws bring death, as seen by what they did to Jesus Christ.
    Your Father of Freedom and Love
