How can we believe (and claim) in the blessings of God and not believe in the curse, especially when it's all over us?
We have all turned aside from the Commandments of God! And the really sad part is, God did the hard part, for us, and we are yet stubborn and hard hearted!
The Commandments are guidelines for us (still) today and few have issue with the "biggies" (do not steal, do not kill, do not commit adultery) instead they (listening to the enemy) pick on the more controversial ones like diet and sabbath! How do I know they are listening to the enemy? The accusatory tone they have in their voice, is his voice! (Rev 12:10)
When we walk in His Ways, we receive His Blessings! When we turn and walk in rebellion, we receive the curse!
The funny part is I hear all the time how thankful people are they woke-up today; as if God's blessing have been reduced to you not dying in your sleep. But His Blessings are so much more (when we are walking in His Ways)!!!!! Read Deuteronomy 28)
Another thing I've noticed is the "claiming" of the blessings, without obedience to His Commandments! Setting aside the OT laws; Jesus said "do not fear", yet fear is a way of life for everyone, and we still claim the blessings! Acceptable sins such as unforgiveness, bitterness, worry, fear, anger, grumbling and complaining, are only acceptable in the churches' eyes; NOT God's eyes! We are double-minded and unstable in all of our ways! "For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways." (James 1:7-8 NKJV)
You may not believe in it, but the curse is all over us! The following verses opened my eyes to the reality of that Truth!
"“The LORD will send on you cursing, confusion, and rebuke in all that you set your hand to do, until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly, because of the wickedness of your doings in which you have forsaken Me. The LORD will make the plague cling to you until He has consumed you from the land which you are going to possess. The LORD will strike you with consumption, with fever, with inflammation, with severe burning fever, with the sword, with scorching, and with mildew; they shall pursue you until you perish."(Deuteronomy 28:20-22 NKJV)
These are just a few, there are many more! But honestly, do you see anyone who is NOT living there???
Do you find that everything bad happens to you? (Reread the curse)
Are you always sick? (Reread the curse)
You can't get ahead? (Reread the curse)
It's all over the church, but the church is deceived!
The argument:
"Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”)" (Galatians 3:13 NKJV)
That only works when we are following Him! It does not stand for the world! We have to turn to Him in repentance! He forgives us when we do, but there is a condition! We have to forgive also! If we don't forgive them we aren't forgiven! (Matt 6:14-15)
Obedience to The Word of God is not "works"! It's love! And it's Love that fulfills the law!
"Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”" (Matthew 22:37-40 NKJV)
"“Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill."(Matthew 5:17 NKJV)
You do not "love your neighbor as yourself" if you harbor unforgiveness and bitterness towards them. This includes your parents, your ex, the person that wronged you terribly and even yourself; no exclusions!
You do not "love The LORD with all of your heart", if you have set your children above Him (or your spouse, or career, or hobby!) He will not have an idol before Him! He is a jealous God! He gave all of Himself; He wants all of you!
I say all of this, to say you do not have to live under the curse! You don't have to be sick or in want! However, you do have to repent, if you want to experience all the blessings of God!
If you are sick and tired of being sick and tired (like I was) PM me and we will send you the CDs on The Power Of Forgiveness that changed my life, free of charge. We will even pay the postage!
Repent while there is still time!
A day is coming when there we be no more time for repentance!
Even so - MARANATHA!
