Immersed in the Blessing pt4 – Curse-Free Living
Immersed pt4: Curse-Free Living
[Rev 22:3 NASB95]
Amplified Bible: “There will no longer exist anything that is cursed [because sin and illness and death are gone]; and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will serve and worship Him [with great awe and joy and loving devotion];”
[Gal 3:10, 13-14 NASB95]
If you feel like something is against you. You are right. It is a curse.
The curse is a force that has similar properties but opposite goals. They are forces that are invisible in and of themselves, but their effects are very visible. See Deuteronomy 28.
Revelation 22:3 tells of a time when the curse will be removed. It is in the future.
JFB: Commenting on Rev. 22:3, “God can only dwell where the curse and its cause, the cursed thing sin (Josh. 7:12), are removed.”
It is a force or thing that will be removed.
Although we have been redeemed from the curse, it is still in operation. That means that it has not been removed yet. While we know that the atonement of Jesus redeemed us from the curse (more on that later), we see that it does not get removed until later. Remember “now and not yet”.
What causes curses to operate in our lives and how do we get free from them?
Knowing how curses work helps us determine how to remove them.
What are the causes of the curse operating against us?
Being born as a human makes you a candidate for dealing with the curse.
From Adam.
The curse came/comes when we violate God. It is a natural consequence just like getting shocked when touching a bare electric line.
[Gen 3:14-19 NASB95]
Is God pronouncing or identifying the curse? I believe both.
Adam’s curse of death comes to all in him. To be in Christ, frees us from the curse of sin. [1Co 15:22 NASB95]
From family.
Curses, as well as blessings, MIGHT be passed down in the family.
NOTICE: [Eze 18:19-20 NASB95]
David – Matthew 1:5-7 – Rahab (harlot) – Boaz (wealthy warrior) – great warrior, sexual sins and children (incest) [Mat 1:5-7 NASB95]
Ahithophel and Solomon – Great grandfather Ahithophel through Bethsheba
[2Sa 16:23 NASB95]
[1Ki 4:29 NASB95]
Abiathar and Jeremiah –
[1Ki 2:26 NASB95]
[Jer 1:1 NASB95]
If a generational blessing, then maybe a generational curse.
Words released over you can cause a curse.
Practicing personal sin can cause a curse.
What do we need to do to live curse-free?
Surrender your life to Jesus Christ.
Release your faith against any curse you see operating in your life.
[Pro 26:2 NASB95]
We proclaim the blood of Jesus has removed the cause. Therefore, we proclaim the curse has to be broken.
Resist the curse.
[Jas 4:7 NASB95]
[Jas 5:14-15 NASB95]
The faith in Galatians 3:13-14 governs all the promises. Redeemed. Blessed. Empowered. All three of these by faith.
God wants us to know that as we surrender our lives to Jesus Christ, release our faith, and stand against the curse we will live curse-free.
