Galatians 3.
13 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.
We are children of God, we are his temple.
This nature was stolen by the devil, but Jesus Christ came to deliver and save us.
He paid the price for our salvation through the sacrifice of his own life and blood.
It’s important to listen to God’s Word with the heart, not the head, so that we can accept it with Amen.
God’s plan at creation was for us to have dominion over everything that moves on the earth.
We were permanently with God; but, when pride entered us through Adam, we were separated from Him.
And because of sin, the blessings became spiritual blessings.
Ephesians 1.3 Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ!
To see this manifested in our lives, we need to be spiritual, to walk with the Lord, to be constantly nourished by the Word, to practice the Word.
God, in his plan, wanted Jesus to come to this earth to reconcile us with our heavenly Father.
Our fathers, our ancestors at one point had strayed from God by creating alliances with the powers of darkness. So much so that these spirits controlled us, for a document was written against our entire lineage.
That’s why Jesus came, to break the curse on our lives.
Galatians 3.13
13 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.
What curse has Christ redeemed us from?
There are three types of curses to note:
On poverty, disease (which makes us suffer) and death (spiritual).
Christ came so that we might have life and have it more abundantly. This life is manifested when we become one with Jesus (so there is no more jealousy, no more envy, no more wickedness…).
- Illness no longer has to be accepted by us, for Christ has redeemed us.
1 Peter 2.24
who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed
God is Light, and when you’re a bearer of light, you can’t hide. Which means that when we’re connected to God, it’s visible.
We can communicate with our Father at any time by leaning on the Rock.
When the mind is connected to Spirit, the light shines brightly. In this way, love, joy and peace manifest themselves within us.
We need to cultivate our intimacy, our relationship with the Lord.
Matthew 6.33 Seek first the kingdom and the righteousness of God, and all these things will be added to you.
Indeed, intimacy with God allows the Kingdom of God to manifest itself in my life. The Word is the light, and by allowing myself to be inhabited by this light, I could dominate.
So, even if I feel sick in my body, I must pray, reminding the Lord of his Word for example:
Isaiah 53 5 But he was wounded for our sins, broken for our iniquities; the chastisement that gives us peace fell on him, and by his stripes we are healed.
Beloved, you must no longer accept sickness, but reject it with leaning on the Rock.
- Poverty need no longer be accepted by us, for Christ has redeemed us.
Galatians 3.9 so that those who believe are blessed with Abraham the believer.
We need to search the scriptures for the blessings God gave Abraham and claim them.
Because we have received the light, we are regenerated, now we belong to the Lord.
By the light of the Word within us, we must therefore reduce to nothing the darkness of poverty.
Beware of following false prophets who speak of prosperity without the Truth.
We are the bearers of the Kingdom of God and must win souls for the Lord on every occasion.
God is in us and with us, and as long as we stay connected to God, as long as we continue to feed on His word, we are blessed and productive.
IN THE NAME OF JESUS, Let Us Pray… →
Father, I receive life through your Word.
I declare that I have life in Jesus’ name.
You have redeemed me from every curse.
You have redeemed me from death, sickness and poverty.
I am blessed with all kinds of blessings,
For I belong to you.
My family, my church, my work, my week are blessed.
In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
