For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
- Romans 8:2
There is a law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus; it sets free from the law of sin and death. Through the law of the spirit of life, the law of sin and death can be subdued and defeated. Just as Aaron's rod swallowed up all the magicians' rods in Egypt, the law of the Spirit will swallow up whatever form of controlling spirit or power is at work in you.
For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:- 2 Thessalonians 2:7-8
The law of the Spirit is God's provision for the destruction of the mystery of iniquity that is at work in people's lives. "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness " ( I Tim. 3:16). With the mystery of godliness at work in you, when the enemy shall come in like a flood to destroy you, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him (Isa. 59:19).

In Romans chapter six, Paul reveals that sin disconnects from God. In chapter seven, he shows us the helplessness of the mortal man in dealing with sin, but introduces us to the help of the Spirit in handling sin in chapter eight. Without the help of the Spirit, you are helpless in your struggles against sin, as it is one law that delivers from another the law of the Spirit from the law of sin. The superior law delivers from a lesser law.
The way to engage the law of the Spirit in the battle against sin is to walk in the Spirit. To walk in the Spirit means to engage the Holy Spirit by taking advantage of His ministry against the works of the flesh. The Bible says:
This I say then, Ifalk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. (Galatians)5:16
The Holy Spirit living inside you is the cheapest way of destroying the controlling powers set to destroy you. You operate the law of the Spirit by engaging the help of the Holy Spirit in intercessions when those motions in your mind and body begin to torment you.
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. (Romans 8:26-27)
The Holy Spirit helps you pray according to God's will, enabling you to secure help to mortify the deeds of the flesh (Rom. 8:13; Col. 3:5). The Spirit is contrary to the flesh. So you are able to subdue the flesh when you engage the Holy Spirit, and the reverse is what obtains when you do not engage the Spirit. The Bible says in Luke 11:21-22:
When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:
But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.
Greater is He that is in you (Holy Spirit), than he that is in the world (1 Jn. 4:4). So when you engage Him in keeping your spiritual goods (your colourful destiny in God), your goods will be safe. The Holy Spirit is the force that guarantees your victory and security in the conflicts of life, so be filled with Him always (Eph. 5:18).

Engage the help of the Holy Spirit by getting into cloudforming prayers in the spirit, like Elijah did. Every time you explode in tongues against the works of the flesh, you are confirming the judgment of the Holy Spirit against the devil. That is how to mortify the deeds of the flesh and destroy the destroyer sent to destroy you. That motion in your flesh can be consumed; that lying, crave for adultery, drugs, beating Your wife and yelling at your children can be stopped! The help of the Holy Spirit is available for you; engage Him.
