The curse is not greater than the blessing part 4

If the Blessing of God has everything you need, including deliverance from the Curse of the Law, why are people still affected by Curses? For three reasons: they are filled with fear, they lack knowledge of the Word of God, and they do not understand their Covenant Rights.

First let’s discuss fear. Fear gets into the minds and hearts of anyone who will open the door to it. Many people are so frightened they spend their time trying to figure a way to keep from losing their purpose in life. Let me be very clear, your reason for living isn't to spend all your time and energy worrying about your job, your family, your health. God's purpose for you is to spend time with Him in faith. To live a life of purpose, you need to overcome fear and press forward.

Doubts and worries are completely natural to the human experience. They will come to you; that’s right, they will come to you; you will have reason to worry; bad things will happen to you and your family, something will give you a reason to doubt the Word. However, when you let these doubts and worries that come against you turn around and become fear in your mind, you are settling for the worst case scenario. Believe me, this is the worst thing that you can do when it comes to fear and doubt.

Let’s look at the life of Job for a moment. God called Job a perfect and upright man; however, Job admitted that the reason for the problems in his life was fear. In Job 3:25, he plainly admits this when he said “The thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.”

Fear will try to get into the minds and hearts of anyone who will open the door to it. While doubt and worry will come to you at different times, they should be dealt with immediately so that they do not become fear and cause you problems.

The second reason for Curses being in someone’s life is: A Lack of the Knowledge of God’s Word. This lack of knowledge is actually killing many Christians; it is causing them to live with the curse. I am serious about this, a lack of knowledge is literally killing many Christians. Hosea 4:6 says, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: see¬ing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.”

It is very plain from this scripture that the reason people are destroyed is because of a lack of knowledge of the Word of God. 2 Timothy 2:15 says “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

You need to find out what God’s Word says and then learn to live in and activate the promises of God in your life. Remember, the devil knows God’s Word too. In fact, he quoted God’s Word to Eve, as well as Jesus. Every time in Scripture when the Devil argues with someone he begins his argument with, “Has God said,” or “If you are,” and then he misquotes the scriptures. He doesn’t misquote them by mistake; he does it because he loves to twist the scripture. If he can get you as a believer to think that God is not for you, then he has already won the battle.

Remember, that no matter what you were before you were born again, you are a new creation in Christ, old things have been done away with, all things have been made new. Look at 2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

When you were born again you were made new, in God’s eyes, you became a new creature. You are a new species, you are something that never existed before you were born again. In fact, 1 Peter 2:9 says that we are “a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people;” why? “That ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.”

When we were living in the world away from God, we were living for the devil and we were in the kingdom of darkness. But now that we are Born Again, we are in the kingdom of light. There is a difference in what these kingdoms are, and how these kingdoms operate.

You need to know the struggle of the ages, which you are in right now, is a battle of light versus darkness. But in this struggle, you have won because of Christ. That’s right, you are different you are changed. You are more than a conqueror, Romans 8:37. Let’s look at that verse for a moment “Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.”
