We had even a bigger crew than that.
I've people are probably working in the back, but we had so much
help. And we've been patiently waiting
for this playground to be finished very patiently, so
we're thankful that it's done. Thank you so much.
I have a word from the Holy Ghost for you and if you will
apply it, then you will want. Walk-in what Ephesians calls The
Riches of this inheritance. And the blessing of God.
So, so take heed take notes and draw on the spirit of God, you
know, in Ephesians. It also says that he wants to
show out his in comparably, great power, and grace and mercy
in your life. He wants to show out not so that
you can be a big shot but he wants to show out so that lives
can be changed. So that we can ignite this city
impact the nation and Since the world.
That's what we're doing. So let's start in Galatians
chapter 3. And we're going to go through
verses 6 through 14. You know.
We're supposed to be redeemed from the curse and we just sang
that. Did we not?
We sang their, let the redeemed of the Lord say.
So, you know, really what the scripture does say is let the
redeemed of the Lord say that. That, so was added in there,
we're supposed to be saying And things.
But do we know what we're saying?
Do we know what we've been redeemed from?
Do we know what the blessing is that God's called us to?
We need to know, we need to know what it is.
So let's start in Galatians. Chapter 3 is says just as
Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him for
righteousness. Therefore know that only those
who are of Faith. Are the sons of Abraham, are we
sons of Abraham. You know, we sang that song when
you were a kid, we sang, Father, Abraham, how many sons?
And then he son said, Father Abraham and then we went through
all the Motions. Yeah you can sing it.
But did we even know what we were talking about?
We really didn't, but you're about to know, you're about to
know. So therefore know that only
those who are of Faith. Are the sons of Abraham and the
scripture foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles where
the Was by faith, preached. The gospel to Abraham beforehand
saying in you all nations. Shall be blessed verse 9.
So then those who are of Faith are blessed with believing
Abraham. Are you a faith?
Then are you blessed? Are you blessed with believing
Abraham? Yes, you are.
You know, this word Blast has been taken a little too lightly,
you know, when we sneeze. Bless you are we are we really
pronouncing a blessing? Oh, bless you.
Child when you sneeze now, we're just saying bless you now.
People are going to start sneezing, and we're all just
going to sit here. No.
Everybody's scared to say bless you.
Now, you can still say bless you, if you want to.
I'm not saying you can't, but, but do we really know what it
means to bless somebody, and to have the blessing, also, your
your food that you say the blessing over.
How How much do you believe that your bread is blessed that your
water is blessed? And then it's Sanctified by the
word of God. Do you believe that when you
pray, do you really believe that or are you just coming in?
Lord, thank you for this food. I'm ready to eat.
Do we understand the fullness of the blessing of God, we need to
understand it. I guarantee you, I could get
probably a half or more of you, that know the cane song.
I'm So Last. I'm so blessed.
We know that song, we sing it all the time whether it's your
best day, your worst day, some Tuesday, your birthday everyday
is a good day. Now, let me tell you how you'll
know it, you got hair in your lungs, you got blood in your
body. You are a child of God.
Come on a say it's somebody on my best day.
I'm a Child of God on my worst day.
I'm still a child of God. So on that song, do we really
believe it? It do we really believe?
We might get crazy in here. Y'all are y'all ready?
I already I'm a little while on the Wild Side.
Do we really believe that we're blessed Do we really believe
that when we say I'm so blessed? I'm so blessed.
Do you really believe you're blessed?
We just like to sing the cute little song.
You're blessed with believing Abraham, that's what the Bible
says. So if we continue to read in
Galatians 3:10 is says for as many as are of the works of the
law are under a curse. We're going to talk about that
curse. Is that still a thing?
Remember, we're reading the New Testament for it is written.
Cursed is everyone who does not continue and all the things
which are written in the book of the law to do them.
But that no one is justified by the law.
In the sight of God is evident for the just shall live by
faith. Yet, the law is not a faith, but
the man who does them shall live by them, we understand that in
the first Covenant, they they sought to avoid the curse by
being obedient to the law. And if they weren't, they
sacrificed an animal to pay for that sin so that they could live
in the blessing. The scripture says that Christ
has redeemed Us in verse 13 from the curse of the law being made
a curse for us being made a curse for us, for cursed is
everyone who hangs on the tree? What does this mean?
Are we redeemed from? Hell, what are we redeemed from?
What is the curse? And is The Curse still in the
Earth today? It is today.
I've set before you Life and death blessing and cursing
choose life so that you can live and prosper in walk in his way.
The curse is still in the earth if we yield to it.
You got to understand what's in the curse so that we don't call
what's a curse of blessing in disguise.
We're going to read some of Deuteronomy 28 and and it's not
cute. What the curse is and you need
to know that God's redeemed, you from it, he set you free from it
so that when the curse comes you can say no no I'm redeemed from
the curse of the law. But you got to first know what
it is, and we'll talk about what the blessing is, as well, the
devil he is the accuser of the Brethren.
So you understand he's always accusing you day and night day
and night day and night. He's doing that.
And the difference in the old Covenant, and the New Covenant
is that now God has gifted us. His righteousness, he's made you
write by believing him, you just believe by faith.
That he died that he rose. Again, you make him Lord and he
gives you. It's not just innocence that
gets you into the kingdom of God.
Various a great exchange that happens when not only does he
become the curse for you, he took on all your sin, all of the
curse not only that if it was just that you would just be
innocent at best. But he also imputes the Bible
says his Righteousness to you. That means I can stand before
God as if sin had never ever been as free as Adam was before
he ever transgressed. And that's how you ought to get
up every single day. You ought to get up every single
day and say, I am the righteousness of God in Christ
Jesus, and he's redeemed me from the curse of the law.
He's redeemed us and he's giving you this gift of righteousness.
Now, verse 14 says, so that the blessing of Abraham might come
upon the Tiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the
promise of the spirit through faith.
The Blessing of Abraham. Why are we sons of Abraham?
You can still sing that song If you want to Father, Abraham.
And it's okay singing because we are sons of Abraham because
Abraham believed God and that's why he was a type and Shadow for
us of Jesus. He believed God and it was
Counted him or it was given to him this righteousness and how
come Abraham in the old covenant could believe God, and do what
he did and we're not doing more than that.
When we have the Holy Ghost on the inside of us, he believed
God, he took his son to sacrifice him.
Trusting God, the whole way and we with the Holy Ghost on the
inside of us, we have trouble putting down a food item.
Item or putting down a TV show or crucifying our flesh.
In some other area of life, oh man, how much greater the
scripture says, should we be reigning and ruling in life?
Way greater. So, this Blessing of Abraham,
what is this blessing? Let's look at Galatians.
Chapter 3. Verses 26 through 29 and says
for you are all sons of God through faith.
In Christ Jesus. For, as many of you as were
baptized into Christ. Have put on Christ, there is
neither Jew, nor Greek. There is neither slave nor free.
There is neither male nor female for you are all one in Christ
Jesus. And if you are Christ, then you
are Abraham's seed, you are Abraham's seed and heirs,
according to the promise now. I want us to turn to Leviticus
chapter, 25, hang tight with me because you need to understand
the fullness of this blessing that with their Worth, to be
walking in Leviticus chapter 25. Verses 18 through 22 as says,
so, you shall observe my statutes and keep my judgments
and perform them and you will dwell in the land and safety,
then the land will yield, its fruit and you will eat your fill
and They're in safety. And if you say what shall we
eat? In the seventh year since we
shall not sow or Gather in our produce, then listen to What God
Says, then I will command my blessing on you in the six year
and it will bring forth produce enough for three years and you
shall sow in the eighth year, Andy told produce until the
ninth year until it's produce comes in and you shall eat.
Out of the old produce produce. So they made so much and in the
band that six-year the god, commanded the blessing on them
so much that they were had a full supply for three years.
And not only did they have a full supply for themselves but
they were able to give out of that Supply, this is an Old
Testament. Example of God, commanding the
blessing and Old Testament. Example, do we live in the Old
Testament? We live in a New Covenant.
How much more can he command a blessing on you?
That the scripture says you won't have room enough to to
hold on to it, that you'll have so much that you have to give it
away and I'm not talking about just Is, I'm talking about, you
have so much peace. You have so much joy, you have
so much fruit that you're bearing that you're able to give
it away everywhere you go, when you go places, are you a
blessing to people when you walk into a place?
Do you bring blessing? Do you bring joy?
Or do you bring depression? Do you bring heaviness?
Do you come always wanting and needing something we ought to be
the ones. Always giving something always
giving something. We should be living in the rest.
This, this is talking about the Sabbath that he wanted them to
be in where every day. The scripture says supposed to
be living in the rest and the blessing of God and that is a
life of faith and that does not mean that you're sitting on your
couch resting. That's not what that means.
The scripture says that we're supposed to be Mighty in the
Earth. Doing great exploits all the
time. This life of faith is not an
idle one. Really.
He's what he's done is he's raised the bar, this
righteousness that he's given you.
There's a difference between being righteous and doing
righteousness and the Bible talks about us submitting, our
members as members of righteousness, and to him, So,
he's made you righteous, but in that righteousness, now, I'm
supposed to do righteous things. The scripture says, I walk in
Paths of righteousness, for his name's sake.
So it's just this rest that he prepared, everything that I was
going to do before I ever was even born, you are God's
workmanship created in Christ Jesus.
For good works. That he prepared what beforehand
that you would walk in them if that's not a bad place of rest
and peace. I don't know what it is.
That he prepared this life of Faith.
This purpose of God in my life already, before it one day, ever
even happened. And what I do is I wake up every
day and go. I am the righteousness of God in
Christ Jesus. Thank you, Lord.
I hear your voice. And another, I'll knock Follow a
dime in your word. I know what you're saying.
I'm doing what you've called me to do.
We can't just say I'm redeemed. I'm redeemed.
Yes, I'm redeemed and not do what he says.
The scripture says, then we can stand against all the fiery
darts of the evil one and no weapon formed against us shall
prosper but you have to first read the first part of that
scripture that talks about his justness and what he's done for
you. You first have to know who you
are, when you know who you are. Then when those fiery darts
comes when the curse comes, you can say not recognize that I
recognize the curse and that's a curse.
And I resist the curse and I live in the blessing I live in
the blessing of God. Let's go to Deuteronomy 28
Deuteronomy. We're going to first go through
the curse, just a little bit. Let's start with verse 15.
There's so much in here. The curse is an Affliction, a
torment and evil being harassed. You know, there's a lot of
people being harassed walking in calamity.
Let's look at it verse 15, but it shall come to pass.
If you do, let me go back but it shall come to pass if you do not
obey. If you do not obey the voice of
the Lord, your God to observe carefully, all his Commandments
and his statutes, which I command you today, then all
these curses will come upon you. You cannot say oh this just just
Old Testament. We just read Galatians where it
says, he's redeemed you from the curse of the law, but you have
to yield to him, you have to obey the word of God and do what
he says. As it says, cursed, shall you be
in the city and cursed, shall you be in the country curse?
Shall be your basket and your Storehouse, that means what I
have now. And what I have in savings
Cursed cursed shall be the fruit of your body.
That's your children. Curse shall be the fruit of your
body and the produce of your land and increase of your cattle
and The Offspring of your flocks.
That's whatever you put your hand to whatever you're doing,
cursed cursed. If you're not yielding, if
you're not yielding to who you are in Christ, the Lord will
send on you a cursing, confusion, and rebuke and all
that you say your hand to do. Are you saying man?
Things working out for me. Nothing's happening man.
The righteous better say something different.
The righteous better start saying so because you're
redeemed from the curse and you are blessed with believing
Abraham. Will we will read the blessing
before we're done? I promise, but we got to go
through the curse first. The Lord will send on you a
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're going to possess
and the Lord will strike you with consumption.
You could study this out and there is so much meaning in it.
I'm going to give you just bits and pieces, but that means
infectious disease. The Lord will strike you with
can infectious diseases with fever with inflammation.
You know that inflammation just means colds.
Just a cold or allergies. With consumption with fever,
with inflammation with severe burning fever in the moffatt's
translation, that means streptococcus which is strep
throat. And influenza, which is the flu.
Is the Bible real for today? Yes, it is with severe burning
fever with the sword with the scorching and with mildew.
This is not talking about your bath room and your toilet.
There's a difference between the curse of the fall and the curse
of the law, okay? There's some things, you know,
some pain and shit, don't just be like I there's not gonna be
any any mildew, my toilets. Never going to get dirty.
I'm never gonna have to clean my bathtub.
That's ignorance that the curse of the Fall, there's going to be
some things that you have to deal with but you don't have to
deal with them as much because we're Believers and we can keep
those things at Bay so I don't have as much funk in my toilet
as maybe somebody out there. But that's the curse of the
Fall, that's not talking about them, okay?
Verse, let's jump down to verse 27.
The Lord will strike you with The Botch of Egypt.
I don't even know. I don't, I wouldn't even want to
know what the botch of Egypt is, but I know I don't want it.
Who wants the bunch. I don't want the bunch The Botch
of Egypt. What that does mean is, like,
ulcers boils thing, I things like that tumors and with the
scab Yeah, with the scab, that's skin problems.
The Septuagint says malignancies, which includes
cancer. This is all part of the curse.
Any skin condition that you get. Do you just go?
Well it's just because of any allergies that you get.
Well it's just because of the pollen.
Can we just start recognizing those things as the curse?
And just go God, you've redeemed me from the curse.
I think we just yield, just a little too much, two things that
we should not be walking in with this or do I already.
Did that already? Did the Box.
We don't want to go back to the Box, The Edge.
I don't want the itch, which you cannot be healed, and the Lord
will strike you with Madness. And blindness and confusion of
heart. This is means losing your mind
fear, Panic, anxiety, God's redeemed.
You he didn't give you a spirit of fear, but of power of love,
and of a sound mind, I'm praying.
And I prayed that as you sit here, you'll recognize some of
these things and go that's under the curse.
I don't have to deal. That I don't have to have that
in my life anymore and you shall grope around in Noonday as a
blind man gropes in darkness and you shall not prosper in your
ways. And you shall only be oppressed
and plundered continually and no one shall save.
You, you shall be troll. The wife, but another man will
lie with her. Mmm, you shall build a house,
but you shall not dwell in it. You shall plant a Vineyard.
But shall not gather. Its grapes.
Your awk shall be slaughtered before your eyes, and you shall
not eat of it. Your donkey shall be violently
taken away from before you, and shall not be restored to you.
Your sheep shall be given to your enemies and you shall have
no one to rescue them, your sons and your daughters will be given
to another people, and your eyes will look and fail with longing
for them all day long. And there shall be no strength
in your hand and Nation whom you have not known, shall eat the
fruit of your land and the produce of your labor.
And you shall be only oppressed and crushed continually, so you
shall be driven mad. There's Insanity again because
of the site, which is in your eyes or the things that you're
thinking on the things that you're believing, jump down to
verse 45, moreover. All these curses shall come upon
you and pursue and overtake. Q until you are destroyed
because you did not obey the voice of the Lord, your God, to
keep his Commandments and his statutes, which he commanded you
and they shall be upon you for a sign and a wonder and on your
descendants forever because you did not serve the Lord, your God
with joy. And with gladness of heart, if I
could pause here just for a minute, Romans chapter 1 says
and you don't have to turn there but you wonder why we look
across the churches in our nation and we go why our
churches saying that homosexual homosexuals are.
Okay, why is drinking okay? Why are these things?
All right to them and that they have no conscience.
If you read Romans chapter 1. It says they knew the Lord but
they were not thankful. Nor did they honor him as God?
And because of that, he gave them over.
To a debased mind. And they began to get to
exchange relations, one with another men, with men, women
with women and and their minds are blinded.
Their eyes are deceived and they think that they're okay.
Because they knew God, they knew God, but they did not honor him
as God and they were not thankful, I'm telling you
thankful heart is a happy happy heart.
I used to sing that to my girls all the time.
When they were growing up, we sing that veggie tale song.
A thankful heart as a happy heart, be glad for what you
have. That's the easy way to start and
being thankful. If you'll stay in that posture
of thankfulness, it'll keep Joy stirred up in you.
It'll keep your piece about you that you're not anxious about
anything. Then you matter what comes to
you you can say, no no I'm not going to be anxious about this,
but in everything with prayer and supplication with
Thanksgiving, I'm going to make my request known to him.
And then the peace of God that surpasses understanding is going
to guard my heart and my mind in Christ Jesus.
Thank you Lord. I'll not be anxious but I'm
going to think on things that are pure and Holy and lovely.
And right. This is a daily choosing life.
This is a daily choosing the blessing to live in it.
Alright, let's continue. Let's continue to read here.
What verse was I on? 47 with joy and gladness of
heart. Let's go down to verse 58.
If you do not carefully, observe all the words of this law that
are written, in the book that you may fear this, glorious and
awesome name. The Lord, your God.
Then the Lord will bring upon you and your descendants
extraordinary plagues, great and prolonged plagues and serious
and prolonged sickness. How awful is this?
These are genetic problems things that are passed down from
one generation to the next. Quit saying my mama had it, and
my grandma had it, and I have to have it.
It just is in my jeans. No, you're in a new bloodline,
you've been redeemed, you've been redeemed.
Say I am redeemed. You're redeemed from the curse.
This is the curse. You're supposed to be living in
the blessing and when you recognize those tendencies that
Mama had and Grandma, had you just go ahead and deal with
them. Go ahead and get the word of God
on them and get set free from those things.
You don't have to live in that and we're going to look at that
here in just a minute. Moreover verse 60, he will bring
back on you all the diseases of Egypt of which you were afraid
and they shall cling to you also.
Now listen, if all that wasn't enough, Enough and we didn't
even read all of it. Verse 61 says, also, every
sickness and every plague which is not even written.
Every sickness and every plague, that's not written.
In this book of the law of the Lord will bring upon you until
you are destroyed. Now, let's jump down to verse
65. It says in among those Nations
you will find No Rest nor shall the sole of your foot, have a
resting place but there the Lord will give you a trembling heart,
failing eyes and anguish of Soul.
Do we have a trembling heart? Lying Eyes, and anguish of soul
is so we got to deal with it. Your life shall hang and doubt
before you, you will fear day and night and have no Assurance
of life. In the morning, you'll say, oh,
there were evening an evening. You'll say, oh that, it were
morning because of the fear that terrifies your heart and because
of the site, which your eyes see, Never Satisfied always
concerned about tomorrow. Fear Darkness, anxiety.
Those are all part of the curse Genesis 12:1.
And in Genesis chapter 12 God personally spoke to Abraham and
these things apply to us to and when I read this the Holy Ghost
just brought something up and me that we need to definitely talk
about verse 1. It says now, the Lord had said
to Abram get out of your country from your family and from your
father's house to a land that I will show you and I will make
Make you a great nation. And I will bless you and make
your name great, and you shall be a blessing.
I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him.
Who curses you. And in you all families on the
Earth shall be blessed. So he's telling Abraham come
out, come out, come out, come out, come out and away from your
family. Move out of your country.
And I and when I was reading that the Lord specifically spoke
to me and says, sometimes you got to leave your family and it
doesn't always mean that you have to leave them physically.
Although sometimes but you got to come out from the same
strongholds and the same patterns and the same way of
thinking that you have had because those are open doors for
the devil and those are Indoors the scripture says do not give
the devil a foothold. Do not give him a stronghold in
your life, you know, ways that we can that we can give him and
open doors to unforgiveness. Through not walking in love.
You can open the door through Disobedience, just continuing to
do the opposite of what he said to do through internal vows that
we make. Let me explain that when you're
growing up and and most of us come from dysfunction, just to
be honest, when you're growing up, there's times that we'll
look at a parent and go I'll never do that.
I never want to be like that and I'm not talking about the
positive side of it. I'm talking about going and
unforgiveness and bitterness saying, I'll never be like my
dad, I'll never be like my mom, if you don't deal with that
unforgiveness. If you don't deal with that
internal valve that you made, then you'll do the very thing
that you hated. And that is a scriptural
principle that you will do that. And that's why you see the same
pattern. Turns all why why wouldn't a
dad's an alcoholic. Their son will be an alcoholic
and it just goes from generation to generation to.
Why is that curse not ever broken because somebody didn't
stop and recognize who they were in Christ and get it under the
blood and say I'm redeemed from now.
You got to come out. You got to come away from Those
ways of thinking those old patterns, those old strongholds
and you got to be like David and say God search me God see me and
see if there's any offensive way in me and Lead Me in the way
Everlasting and he'll do it, he will do that.
Proverbs 26 to Proverbs 26 to says, as the bird by wandering
and as the swallow by flying. So The curse causeless shall not
come. the curse does not come Without a Cause So don't give it
a cause. Don't open the door for the
devil. This is why we see Believers
sometimes. And we go, oh man, their
lifestyle is just not matching up with what they're doing.
You can't just come in here and sit under the anointing and lift
your hands and say, oh God, you're good and walk out of here
and be somebody else. And we cannot be like, saw David
David went into his presence, and he played for him, and he
ministered to him and saw was comforted and saw had peace.
But did he change? We can't be like that.
There's many people in the church that are, that way we
come into the church and we sit under the anointing, and we sit
under the worship and we have such peace and we have such Joy
and we walk out of here and we won't deal with the things that
the Holy Ghost is dealing with us about.
You have to deal with your heart.
You cannot be like the Pharisees and the Sadducees.
Jesus said, let your righteousness exceed that of the
Pharisees and the Sadducees and all them.
Why he said they were Lawless and they did everything.
According to the law, Because of their heart.
Because they were right in here. Quit coming in here and just
going through the motions and just feeling, okay?
Because you go to church. It's no different than Adam and
Eve when they got the Fig leaves and they covered themselves.
That covering is man doing their own thing.
Trying to appease their conscience before God, and
that's how religion started. Quit.
Putting your fig leaves on. Please quit, leaving your house,
either with a fig leaf, on or naked.
The scripture says to put on the full armor of God.
So that you can stand against the schemes of the devil, your
breastplate of righteousness, all of it, put all of it on
quickly, we leave the house and we're naked.
You're naked. Put your clothes on.
I'm glad y'all have your clothes on.
All right, we need to go to the blessing.
Genesis chapter 1, you're redeemed, your redeemed.
What is the blessing blessing has to do with increase?
Creative power, fruitfulness, Zoe life in every part of your
being and every part of you and your life, and your kids, and
your job, and your home, and your finances and everything we
should be increasing going from Faith to Faith to Faith and from
glory to glory. The Bible says, go to Genesis
chapter 1 verses 26 through 28. We Are very familiar with these
Scriptures. It says, then God said let us
make man in our image according to our likeness and let them
have dominion over the fish of the sea over the birds of the
air, and over all the cattle and over all the Earth and over
every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.
So God created, man in his own image.
And in the image of God, he created him male and female, he
created them verse 28 and then God blessed them.
He blessed them and God said to them, be fruitful and multiply
fill the Earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of
the sea. The birds of the air and over
every living thing that moves on the earth, he blessed them.
He blessed you. God, commanded the blessing on
your life, he commanded it. Now, let's go to Deuteronomy 88.
And let's read the blessing verse 1.
Now, it shall come to pass if there's that.
If again, now it shall come to pass.
If you diligently obey, the voice of the Lord, your God to
observe carefully all his Commandments which I command you
today, then the Lord your God will set you high above all the
nations of the Earth. And all these blessings shall
come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of
the Lord, your God blessed, shall you be in the city
blessed? Shall you be in the country
blessed shall be the fruit of your body?
That's your children, the produce of your ground and the
increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle and The
Offspring of your flocks, your Investments, your business.
Yes, whatever. You put your hand, to the Bible,
says blast, it should be blessed.
It's blessed, blessed? Shall you be when you come in
and blessed? Shall you be when you go out,
the Lord will cause your, when you walk into a room, when you
walk into a room, Are you a blessing?
When you leave two people go man, I miss her.
And I miss him and he's so fun or she's so fun and full of
life. What are you bringing?
Are you blessed? When you come in?
Are you blessed? When you go into your job every
day? Are you coming in?
I'll heavy blessed. When you come in, you ought to
say every day, when you go out to your job, line blessed, when
I come in and I'm blessed when I go out, I'm a blessing to
others. I overflow with increase.
The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be
defeated before your face. Amen.
And they shall come out against you one way and flee before you
and seven ways. They'll flee like roaches.
It says they will flee from before you the Lord will cause
that to happen. If you're yielded to him and the
blessing and what he's telling you to do, he'll cause your
enemies to flee from you and seven ways.
The Lord will verse a command, the blessing on you and your
store houses and an all too, which you set your hand to and
he will bless you in the land in which the Lord your God.
Is giving you. Is this the land?
He's given you as your house the land he's given.
You is their job, the land. He's given you.
Is this city, the land? He's given us.
Yes, we're supposed to be blessed in this land, that he's
given to us. He's commanded it to happen.
Verse 9, the Lord will establish you as a holy people to himself
just as he has sworn to you. If you keep the Commandments of
the Lord, your God and walk in his ways.
Then all peoples of the Earth, shall see.
They shall see our people seeing something on you.
Can they see the glory of God on you?
The scripture says that the glory on us should be greater
than that of Moses. When he came down off the
mountain, after getting the, the Commandments that the glory was
so much that they couldn't even look at him.
And the scripture says, how much more, how much more should we be
living in this glory of God. That people are saying there's
just something about her. There's just something about
him. What is that about them?
I just want to go to them and, and get the answers to my
problems. I just want to go to them, to
ask what I should do. Do you carry the glory of God
with you? Then all the people's will see
that you are called by the name of the Lord and they shall be
afraid of you. And the Lord will grant, you,
plenty of goods. Do you have plenty of goods?
Plenty of goods in the fruit of your body in the increase of
your lifestyle? That means you're going to be
healthy and your kids are going to be healthy and and you're
going no matter what's going on in your body.
If sickness comes, you need to recognize.
This is the curse and I don't To receive it.
I can actually resist it. I can actually say no.
No. I yield to the blessing of God
and I resist the curse and I live in the blessing of God and
the curse shall not come and I will not give it a cause to come
the fruit of your body in the increase of your livestock and
in the produce of your ground, in the land of which the Lord
swore to your father's to give you, the Lord will open to you,
his good treasure the Heavens to give you rain on your land, in
its season, and to bless all all O, say all all the work of your
hand, you shall lend to many nations, but you shall I'll not
borrow and the Lord will make you the head and not the tail.
You shall be above only only, not every now, and then only all
the time. Only, you're supposed to be
above and not beneath. If you heed the Commandments of
the Lord your God, which I command you today and are
careful to observe them, so you shall not turn aside from any of
the words. Attack command you this day to
the right or to the left to go after other gods and serve them.
Those scriptures cover anything and everything that you would
need that you would need in your life.
God is Jehovah everything to you.
He is Jehovah Jireh, he is Jehovah, Shalom.
He's Jehovah sick and he's Jehovah, everything, anything
that you need. He is that, you know, the
scripture and Psalm 23 says, surely goodness and mercy shall
follow. Follow me all the days of my
life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow you.
Do you believe that is goodness and mercy chasing you down.
One scripture says it's going to pursue you like chase you down
is goodness. Overtaking you come on now, take
an honest assessment. Take an honest assessment is
goodness and mercy. Overtaking you and your life, if
not the righteous and the redeemed of the Lord better
start saying it is, The goodness and mercy follows me all the
days of my life and my cup runneth over that, I have
everything that I need. I'm blessed your blessed so that
you can be a blessing. Not so that you can just have
everything for yourself. This is not your things,
although God's going to supply everything that you need, he
will give you everything that you need in the land of the
living. The scripture says, That's right
now. Plenty in your goods.
Plenty in everything that you need plenty in your finances,
although it's not just about money.
Do you have plenty of Joy? Do you have plenty of Peace?
You gotta learn as a Believer to stir those things up.
When you wake up in the morning you don't always feel like
dancing you. Always feel like blessing the
Lord. You don't always feel like count
it all joy, but that's how we choose life every day.
I you get up and you say, God, I thank you.
This is the day that you made and I rejoice.
And I'm glad in it and I live in the blessing of God and I am
redeemed from the curse of the law.
Do you believe it? You better believe it because
then we're sons of Abraham, you can't be singing, Father
Abraham. If you're not believing, you
better be believing you, you know, you know, the scripture
says, you know, your heart. You know, if you're not
believing, you know, if you're not in faith you could be strong
in faith in one area and have another area that you just
recognize, you know I just really need to build my faith in
this area. That's okay.
But you better do it, get yourself built up in faith in
that area so that you can be like believing Abraham.
When it says your cup runneth over you know, it says that that
he prepares it. Table for you in the presence of
your enemies. It says that in the Old
Testament, how much more now? Does he prepare a table before
you in the presence of your enemies?
So you got a picture. I remember when I was at Rhema
and I was listening to brother. Hagin Minister on Psalm 23 are
some naughty want and some 23 and about being seated at the
table and I pulled up to my apartment, it was late at night.
At night and he was talking about being seated at the table
and I opened my door and I took off running down the street.
I got so fired up and the fact that I'm seated, this is this
sabbath this rest of faith that we live in.
I'm seated in Heavenly places. The Bible says, far above the
curse far above it, far above all Rule, and authority, and
power, and dominion, and every name that is named, I'm sorry.
Seated in Heavenly places. In the scripture says that my
enemies are there. They're there, and they're
talking, and they're constantly accusing you before the father
night and day accusing. You just just like this to see.
If you'll let him in to see, if you're gonna lie, you're a
failure. You're never going to make it.
Whatever he's saying to you. That's what he's doing.
How do you overcome? Oh no, I'm seated.
I'm seated at the table and and and pass me a little bit of
Victory. Pass me the bowl of joy.
Oi, pass me some peace, pass me some healing, give it to me.
I need a little hungry. I'm hungry.
And this area give me a little bit more of that.
That's what you do. You say Thank You.
Lord. Your joy is my strength.
Hallelujah. Thank you.
Father God, I have more than enough.
This is the year of raining resonance. the redeemed of the
Lord say so, You got to be saying it but you better be
believing it. We're not a bunch of parrots
around here you better be believing what you're saying and
if you don't then you get the word of God out and you write
your scriptures down. And you say, God, you said God,
you said, father you, this is what you said and if you said it
I believe it. And it's mine.
You're blessed. And your Redeemed.
Proverbs 10:22, the blessing of the Lord, makes one rich and he
adds no sorrow to it. That's sorrow means pain.
Hurt, toil labor hardship. It also means offense. painful
toil to exert all your strength to have fatigue of body to have
fatigue of mind to weary Tovar labor to oppress the body and
the mind the scripture says the blessing of the Lord makes you
rich and there's no sorrow. There's no weariness.
There's no labor. There's no Tu Ru Ru continually
weary and beat down. That rich means having
sufficiency for all things everything and abounding for
every every every good work in Christ Jesus.
The blessing of the Lord makes you rich it makes you Rich.
Are you rich? It's okay to say that you're
rich. It's okay for you to walk around
your house. Don't don't go walking up in the
store and being weird and saying I'm rich.
I'm rich Joe but at home or somewhere in your car.
I'm rich and I'm not just rich with money.
I'm rich with peace and I'm rich with joy and I'm rich with
blessing. I'm rich with every provision
that I need and there's no sorrow.
There's no sorrow with it. Let's go to Psalm 107 rich in
faith. Rich and fellowship.
Rich inability rich in what you bring to people rich in your
presence. Rich blessed.
When you come in, this is released by your words.
Church did God release The Blessing by what he said.
He commanded that. The blessing be upon the people
and be upon you. God said.
And it was, you know what, in Genesis it really is light.
Be You. That's what you got to do.
You got to say, Rich, be peace, be Joy be.
I am that Psalm. 107 says, oh, give thanks to the Lord for he
is good and his Mercy endures forever, let the redeemed of the
Lord say so. Whom he has redeemed from the
hand of the enemy, as he redeemed, you from the hand of
the enemy. Yes, he has.
James 3:10 says out of the same mouth.
Precedes blessing and cursing. Is this still true for us?
Today, is this the New Testament out of the same mouth?
Precedes blessing and cursing my brethren.
These things ought not be so you cannot continue to be a
double-minded man. Unstable in all your ways.
Speaking one thing out of this side and something else to your
husband at home. In front of the pastor, I'm
saying this, but when I get home, I'm saying this.
You got to be saying the same thing all the time.
Let the blessing come out of your mouth.
Psalm 34:8 o taste and see that the Lord is good.
Blessed is the man who trusts in him blessed are you blessed?
You are redeemed from the curse so that you can have the
blessing. Gods commanded it for you to
walk in it. Psalm 84 Verses 4 and 5.
Psalms 84 Verses 4 and 5 blessed are those who dwell in your
house they will still be praising.
You blessed is the man whose strength is in you and whose
heart is set on pilgrimage. And I just means whose heart is
set on doing what he says to do. His way what the word of God
says, and what he says, Psalms 112 are you blessed?
Praise the Lord blessed is the man who fears the Lord and who
Delights greatly in his Commandments, his descendants
will be Mighty on the earth. The generation of the upright
will be blessed wealth and riches will be in his house.
Wealth and riches blessed is the man blessed is the man who fears
the Lord. Blessed is the man who greatly
does his Commandments, his descendants will be Mighty on
the earth and wealth and riches will be in his house.
This is how we should be living and operating and walking.
Proverbs 31:28, women is says her children.
Rise up and call her blessed. And her husband also and he
Praises her, do your children, rise up and call you blessed.
And I don't mean they're going to jump out of the bed and run
around say mommy, your blessing all the time, but but you are a
blessing and they love you and you're a blessing to your life
and they want to be around you. Yeah.
Yes. Amen.
Your children should call you blessed your Husband also does
he want to be around you? I hope that we're not a constant
drip. And that's what the Proverbs
said, not me. That you as a woman or not, just
a drip drip, drip all the time complaining, Never Satisfied.
Nothing's ever good enough. Know, your husband ought to call
you blessed and want to be around.
You and find joy in you because you're a blessing.
Let's go to Ephesians chapter 1. You're redeemed.
Ephesians chapter 1 blessed, be the God, and father of our Lord.
Jesus Christ who has blessed us. He's blessed us with every
spiritual blessing in the Heavenly places in Christ just
as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world that we
should be holy. And Without Blame before him in
love having predestined us to adoption as Sons.
By Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure
of his will to the praise of the glory of his grace in which he
made us accepted in the Beloved. Are you accepted in the Beloved?
He said he's blessed you with every spiritual blessing in
Christ. Everything that you need.
You have Proverbs 11 11. Says, by the blessing of the
upright, the city is exalted. But it is overthrown by the
mouth of the wicked by the blessing of the upright.
The city is exalted st. Augustine ought to be a city
that is exalted and that people start.
Recognizing that God is doing something here.
And they start wanting to come because of that.
But this says, because the blessing of the righteous The
blessing of the upright, the blessing of those who recognize
that I'm blessed and I'm not cursed.
I'm here to be a blessing. I'm here to overflow.
I'm here to give in to people's life it when you get the
Revelation that it's not about you and you just get in your
fit, get in your call, get in your purpose, wherever it is
that your job, your fit in the body, your fit here, whatever it
is. If you'll just get in your
purpose and just get your focus off of you, great joy and great.
Welcome. The scripture says, if you seek
first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, that's that
position that you have in him, that everything else will be
added to you. Everything else to be added to
quit, living by what you're feeling.
Everyday emotions are going to come and God gave them to you.
He gave you a motions and emotions can be a signal that
something's not, right? But you're not to be led by
them. They're not to sit on the
throne. So every day, when you get up,
you have this life or death choice to make.
Every day. It's no different for me.
Any of us every day we get up and we have to make that
decision. I'm in Christ, I'm redeemed, I
have the blessing of God in my life.
I have more than enough of peace and joy and riches and finance
and peace. Whatever it is that you need.
You have it, are you going to say it?
Are you going to speak it out? We're fixing to, we're getting
ready to come up here and start releasing resisting.
The things of the curse that we've allowed in our life.
And commanding the blessing, let me go back to Galatians chapter
3. As we close Galatians, chapter 3
verse 7. Therefore no, no this, no, this
that only those who are of Faith are sons of Abraham and the
scripture foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by
faith preached. The gospel to Abraham beforehand
saying in you all nations, shall be blessed.
So then those who are of Faith are Blessed with believing
Abraham. Are you blessed with believing
Abraham? Verse 10 for as many, as are of
the works of the law are under a curse for it is written.
Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all the things which
are written in the book of the law to do them, but that no one
is justified by the law. In the sight of God is evident
the just or the righteous shall live by faith.
Yet the law is not a faith. The man who does them shall Live
by them verse 13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of
the law, having become a curse for us.
For us that The Blessing of Abraham might come upon the
Gentiles in Christ Jesus that we might receive the promise of the
spirit through faith and verse 29.
If you are Christ, then you are Abraham's seed and heirs.
According to the promise, are you a child of Abraham?
Are you a son? And a daughter of Abraham are
You living in the blessing, is there any area of curse in your
life? And please don't go?
Oh my gosh, I don't want to go down because somebody's going to
think I have The Botch of Egypt or something.
Please, please don't think that. Please don't take the curse the
curse even as such an extreme word that you don't recognize if
you're just dealing with cold symptoms.
If you're just dealing with anything heavy in your mind,
anything that's Weighing on you. anything that's trying to
oppress you anything that that is is making you worry, you need
to come down here and you need to denounce and resist the curse
and say I don't live under the curse of the law, God's you've
redeemed me, I am blessed with believing
