OMBS7 / Free From the Curse

PRAYER - "Beware Of Giving Lip Service To God" God said, "Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me. Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people." If you pretend to serve God; if you serve God with your lips but your heart is far from Him, be warned. God says that He will empty your phony heart of its wisdom and understanding. That's scary. Isaiah 29:14 - "...for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid." PRINCIPALS - "Judgment By Fire" God will judge the inhabitants of the earth by fire. "As with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower." This dreadful purge will occur near the end of the great tribulation. Messiah will restore the earth immediately following Armageddon. Isaiah 24:6 - "Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left." PRINCIPLES - "Dead Men Shall Live, Dead Bodies Shall Arise" Isaiah condemned the wicked. "They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them," (26:14). After Christ rules for 1000 years on earth, the wicked dead will be summoned to the white throne judgment where they will be sentenced to hell (Revelation 20). But Christ will raise the righteous dead before the millennium to rule with Him. Isaiah 26:19 - "Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: ...the earth shall cast out the dead." PROPHECIES - "Christ Will Cast Satan And World Rulers Into The Pit" Principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world, and spiritual wickedness in high places (demon princes) heavily influence kings on earth. At Armageddon, Christ will imprison those demons and their earthly agents.  Isaiah 24:21-23 - "And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth. And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, ...when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion.

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree. – Galatians 3:13

You know the story. Satan came to Adam’s wife in the form of a serpent and deceived her into disobeying God. Adam, although he was not deceived, followed suit. When Satan came into the Garden that day, he didn’t have any power at all. He had to come in like a sneak, not even talking to Adam directly but talking to his wife. Now Adam was standing there, and he should have kicked him out right then. But he didn’t. He set aside the command God had given him and did what Satan told him to do instead. And when he did that, he made Satan his lord. In bowing his knee to Satan, Adam gave Satan the authority that God had given him. He made Satan the illegitimate ruler of the earth. Immediately things changed. Through one man’s trespass, death passed to all men (Romans 5:12). The earth and everything in it was suddenly cursed. “OK,” you say, “are we to live under this curse for the rest of our lives? Wasn’t there anything God could do?” He could and He did! He sent Jesus. Through Jesus, He set us free from the curse (Galatians 3:13). The moment you made Jesus Christ Lord of your life, you were delivered from the lordship of Satan. You were redeemed from the curse. I didn’t say the curse wasn’t out there anymore. It is! You can see it all around you. But now you have a choice. You have authority over it in the Name of Jesus, so you can stand against it. God’s done everything that love can do. He sent Jesus to redeem you from the curse. The rest is up to you. Now you must appropriate what has already been done for you.
