REDEEMED FROM THE CURSE
Sunday – April 12, 2020, Nisan 18, 5780
Greetings to our dear and precious friends and partners. If you are reading this on Facebook please take a moment to hit the “love” and “share” buttons to expand the reach of this teaching. It is what is traditionally referred to as “Easter” but perhaps should be named “Resurrection Sunday”. The word “Easter” appears once in Scripture (Acts 12:4) and is the same word used for “Passover” everywhere else in the New Testament. We are not celebrating or memorializing only the sacrifice but the resurrection. The sacrifice would not have gotten the job done by itself, we needed the resurrection. Because He (Jesus) lives everything changed and was restored back to the original intent of God. All that is lacking is the receipt of our immortal body.
Romans 8:23 (KJV)
23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
Hell, and death were conquered and eternal life spirit, soul, and body was restored.
Revelation 1:18 (KJV)
18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
Jesus came to redeem us from the curse, the curse came with sin. Jesus settled the sin question, make all who would, free of the curse. The curse is all death, financial lack, or anything less than fullness of health.
1 John 3:8 (KJV)
8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Jesus Himself in the earth spoke to this issue clearly delineating for us that the source of stealing, killing, and destroying is the devil, in summary the curse, and from His coming we may have the abundant life.
John 10:10 (KJV)
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
This is a day for great rejoicing as is every day in Christ Jesus for we are redeemed from the curse.
Galatians 3:13-14 (KJV)
13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
The Coronavirus is not God teaching us something or working out some mysterious plan in the nation, or our lives. It is the devil trying to kill all to whom he has access. Does he have access to you? As I write this (March 25th) the United States Congress is bringing together a 2 Trillion-dollar stimulus package to help people through this pestilence. The Church repenting and turning from its wicked ways would be way less expensive.
2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV)
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Major problem is this, the Church (individually and corporately) does not have a clue what their wicked ways might be to turn away from. I suggest we consider hitting the carpet until we know. This verse that everyone likes to quote and refer too is the route to defeating this virus, the work of the devil, but it does not involve the world repenting first but the Church. Where are the Pastor’s in all of this? What I have seen with a few exceptions is business as usual from the Pastor’s just now in an electronic format. In the John 10:10 reference Jesus succinctly summarized Deuteronomy twenty-eight. Would someone please tell me where the curse is, where the Coronavirus is in the first fourteen verses of Deuteronomy twenty-eight. What is the key to Blessing and blessing only?
Deuteronomy 28:1-2 (KJV)
1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.
So, if we will listen, look at, and do all the commandments of God the blessing will come upon us and overtake us, all the while we are listening to the voice of the Lord. Does it say anywhere here that God will every once in a while, send some curse (lack and disease) to keep us on our toes and keep us humble? Let me be so brave as to ask what allows the curse into our lives?
Deuteronomy 28:15 (KJV)
15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:
Most of the Church is infested with poverty and disease, so what might we conclude? According to the Bible, we are not listening to the voice of the Lord but someone else’s voice, we are not observing and doing His commandments but another’s and we, the Church, are lousy with the curse. Coronavirus and everything that involves stealing, killing, and destroying (Deuteronomy 28:15-68) in our lives is because we are doing Deuteronomy 28:15 and following and not Deuteronomy 28:1-2. This is very simple, let us repent, Jesus paid the price for our abundant life and is grieved at the condition of His people.
Until our next publication, as a Bible Teacher and Prophetic Voice I speak this blessing over each and every one of you, receive it, believe it, and speak over yourself and your family by faith in Jesus name! Quit asking God to bless you, you are already blessed, you have the Blessing, give Him something to do by the words of your mouth. Once you know the will of God, decree the thing (Job 22:28, Isaiah 45:11, Mark 11:23). (The Blessing is the Holy Spirit) We have left God way to long with nothing to do in our lives.
Numbers 6:24-26 (AMP)
24 The Lord bless you and watch, guard, and keep you;
25 The Lord make His face to shine upon and enlighten you and be gracious (kind, merciful, and giving favor) to you;
26 The Lord lift up His [approving] countenance upon you and give you peace (tranquility of heart and life continually).
