We HAVE BEEN
Purchased / Redeemed
From the Curse
Galatians 3:13
We HAVE BEEN purchased from the curse of the Law. Past Tense.
All of the curses which come upon people who break the law, should no longer affect ANY born-again believer.
..
The curses which God pronounced on those who break the Mosaic Law are:
-you will be cursed where you live
-your food will be cursed
-you children will be cursed
-you will live in confusion, mental stress, madness, and insanity
-everything you put your hand to will be cursed and you will have no success in any area {ie: your work, your home, your family}
-diseases will plague you, such as: fevers, inflammations, boils, tumors, festering sores, incurable itches, blindness. Even diseases not mentioned in this book
-diseases will “cling to you” and not be cured
-items will be continually robbed from you
-you children will serve other “nations”, {or will serve the enemy, in other words…they could be held in drugs, rebellion, unbelief} and you will be “powerless” to help them
-you will have hunger, thirst, and poverty
-you will have nothing but “cruel oppression all your days”
{Deuteronomy 28:15-68, NIV}

Now, lets look ahead to the New Testament, at the Promise given to us by God Himself:
“Did you receive the Spirit by observing the law, or by believing what you heard? … After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort? … Does God give you His Spirit and work miracles among you because you observe the law, OR BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE WHAT YOU HEARD? Consider Abraham: “He believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” Understand, then, that those WHO BELIEVE ARE children of Abraham … So those who have faith ARE BLESSED along with Abraham, the man of faith. All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do EVERYTHING written in the book of the Law.” Clearly no one is justified before God by the Law, because, “The righteous will live by faith.” The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, “The man who does these things will live by them.” CHRIST REDEEMED US FROM THE CURSE OF THE LAW by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.” He REDEEMED US in order that the BLESSING given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that BY FAITH we might receive the promise of the Spirit.
So what blessings we promised to Abraham and his seed? (Galatians 3:29).
-we ARE blessed where we live
-our children ARE blessed
-our food is blessed
-our enemies {the devil and his cohorts} WILL be defeated any time they arise against us … if they come at us in one way, they will flee in seven ways
-our businesses are blessed
-people around us will SEE that we are blessed and called by the Lord
-we have been promised abundant prosperity, with our children, with our businesses and jobs, and with everything we put our hand to
-our hearts AND our children’s hearts are circumcised so that we can love God with all our hearts and with all our souls, and live {Deut 30:6}
-we have been promised life, blessings, prosperity and health, so that we AND our children can live {Deut 30:19}
-we should be free from every disease
-we should not be terrified with the plagues and threats that come upon the earth {Deut 7:21}
Because we ARE a people BLESSED by the Lord
(Deuteronomy 7:12-26, 28:1-14, NIV)
God’s blessing IS upon us…for prosperity, for life, for wholeness, for our good, and for the good of our children.
BUT, just like the Jews, we must mix FAITH with the Promises in order to see the Promises manifest in our life, for the Jews had the Promises given to them by Moses, yet walked in unbelief. Therefore the Jews who had this message of the Promise Land and all the Promises of a “good life” preached to them by Moses, died in the desert without seeing the Promises manifest, because “the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it WITH FAITH”. (Hebrews 3:12 – 4:11).
.
.
So, we must believe God’s Promises are present tense truths AND we must not allow ANY enemy to steal our Promises from us.
Just like the Jews, we must fight for what is ours. We must not be terrified when the enemy comes at us with sickness or depression or any other pain in our emotions, thoughts or bodies. We must fight the enemy off, and cling to our Promises, declaring, “This IS my inheritance, and I will not allow you satan, to steal these Promises from me!”
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal.
We do not fight with hands, guns, or bombs.
One of our main weapons is the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.
When you sling your sword (the Word of God) around in the spirit realm, you are ‘fighting the good fight of faith’; and you sling your ‘sword’ around by speaking God’s Promises out loud, over your life and over your children’s lives.
.
.
CLAIM your Promises.
PROCLAIM these Promises are YOURS, RIGHT NOW.
CONFESS that no enemy will take your Promises away.
PROFESS that no evil or weapon formed against you will prosper.
PROCLAIM your rights and inheritance, and thank God that He is on your side, making sure that your Promises will NOT be stolen away by the enemy.
These Promises became yours when you became born-again.
Now, stand up and fight for your inheritance.
You ARE blessed. You ARE free. You ARE healed. You ARE a child of the King, and you have been given “GREAT and PRECIOUS Promises” by God so that you can live a victorious and godly life (2 Peter 1:4).
So, stand up and fight, today! Amen.
“Let us hold fast / unswervingly to the hope we PROFESS / CONFESS
for He Who promised IS faithful”
Hebrews 10:23
