Redeemed From The Curse

We HAVE BEEN

Purchased /  Redeemed

From the Curse

Galatians 3:13

Galatians 3:13 states that we HAVE BEEN purchased from the curse of the Law.  Past Tense.

All of the curses written in the Book  the Law, should therefore 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}

But again, Galatians 3 tells us that the Born Again Believer has been REDEEMED from the curse:

“… 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.

And what blessings were promised to Abraham and his seed? The blessings found in Deuteronomy, include:
-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, in fact everything that we put our hands to is now blessed
-people around us will SEE that we are blessed and called by the Lord
-we have been promised abundant peace and prosperity
-our hearts AND our children’s hearts are now circumcised so that we can love God with all our hearts and with all our souls, and live {Deut 30:6}
-we are now blessed with life and prosperity so that we AND our children can live {Deut 30:19}
-we have been healed and made 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)

According to Galatians 3, God’s blessing HAS come upon us because Jesus became a curse for us, and the blessing of God includes  prosperity and wholeness for every Born Again Believer … for our spirits, souls, and bodies, and for our children.

BUT, just like the Jews, we must mix FAITH with the Promises of God in order to see the Promises manifest in our life, for the Jews showed us by example that although they  had the Promises proclaimed to them by Moses, the Jews still did not see the fulfillment of these Promises because they walked in unbelief.  The same Jews who had this message of the Promise Land and all the Promises of a “good and prosperous 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).

And so we must remember to believe God’s Promises are present tense truths for ourselves and for our families, 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 or family members.  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!”

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 {Isaiah 49:25}.

These Promises became yours when you became Born Again.

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” from God so that you can live a victorious and  godly life (2 Peter 1:4).

So  stand up and proclaim today, “Indeed, not one demonic weapon will prosper against me, in Jesus name!”   {Isaiah 54:17}  Amen.

________

Let us hold fast / unswervingly to the hope we PROFESS / CONFESS
for He Who promised IS faithful
Hebrews 10:23

Prayer To Pray:

Thank You Father, for giving me Your Great and Precious Promises!! {2 Peter 1:4}

Thank You for blessing me,  my children, my mate, and my entire household.  Thank You  for redeeming us from the curse of the law.  There is NO curse that can over-take my family, for the curse has been broken off me and my family forever,   in Jesus’ name!

There is no disease that can over-take my family.  And poverty cannot come upon my family, in Jesus’ name.  Confusion, depression, mental-illness will  NEVER come upon me or my family, ever, in Jesus’ name, for my family has been REDEEMED from the curse of the law, and I am BLESSED by God Almighty.

The blessings of God DO rule and reign in my life. The curse CANNOT have me, for I have been redeemed from the curse of the law by Christ’s death and resurrection.  Thank You Jesus, for becoming a curse for me and my family, so that the blessings of Abraham can come upon me.

Thank You  Father, that Your blessings are active, right now, in my life, guarding me and my family, leading me and my family, and overtaking me and my family!  And I thank You Father, that Your blessings do follow me all the days of my life {Psalm 23}.

I am blessed with blessed Abraham and the blessings of God are large in my family’s life forever and ever.  To Your glory and praise, in Jesus’ name.  Amen.
