Live Free from the Curse

“Yahweh says: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from Yahweh. For he shall be like a bush in the desert, and shall not see when good comes, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited. “Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh, and whose confidence is in Yahweh. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, who spreads out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat comes, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.” (Jeremiah‬ ‭17:5-8‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

When you trust in your arm of flesh, you are unable to receive God’s grace in your circumstances. You make Christ of no effect to you when you operate by the flesh instead of by the Spirit.

The cursed way is to be like Adam after the fall, cursed to eat bread by the sweat of his brow. The ground would sprout forth thorns and thistles, hindering the fruitfulness of what is sown.

Hard labor by the flesh and not by the anointing is the cursed way. “Nothing is going to happen if I don’t do it myself, so I will handle it on my own.” That is the mindset of one who trusts in his arm of flesh.

What is the difference between the “bush in the desert” and the “tree planted by the waters”? The answer is: the presence of water.

The cursed man does not care to receive and meditate on the water of God’s word, so he does not have the hope from God’s promises.

On the other hand, the blessed man is planted by the waters, constantly receiving and meditating on God’s word. He has strong faith and hope in God’s promises, and experiences fruitfulness, health, youth renewal, and provision.

“The farmer sows the word. The ones by the road are the ones where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes, and takes away the word which has been sown in them. These in the same way are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy. They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble. Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word, and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. Those which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times.”” (Mark‬ ‭4:14-20‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Why do you think the devil puts in so much effort to snatch the seed of God’s word from your heart? He deceives, distracts, intimidates, and tempts, all so that he can convince you to give up on God’s word.

It is because a person who allows God’s word to grow in his heart is the biggest threat to the demonic kingdom. A person who prays, loves, and preaches the Gospel destroys Satanic strongholds, yokes, and bondages, setting captives free.

Such a person’s life flourishes through God’s word, and enjoys hundredfold harvests of God’s blessing.

If the enemy can steer you away from receiving God’s word, he can keep you living in defeat. Let us see through his evil strategies and do the exact opposite: every day, receive the Gospel and hear about the gift of righteousness and the abundance of grace available to you through our Lord Jesus Christ. Saturate your mind and heart with the Gospel. This is one way you can silence the serpent in your life!

“Silencing the Serpent” is my ebook about spiritual warfare and how Christians can emerge victorious in it. You will discover the mighty spiritual weapons you have in Christ, and learn about the enemy’s strategies as well as how to counter them with Biblical truths. Expect long-time addictions, bondages, and patterns of defeat to be broken when you meditate on the truths in this book: https://bit.ly/silence-the-serpent-now

"The greater your revelation of Jesus, the greater your capacity to receive from Him!"

What breakthrough are you in need of today? Are you in need of healing for yourself or a loved one? Are you longing for real, lasting peace to take the place of the anxiety and depression you’ve been going through? Are you trying to find safety and security for your future and your family in these uncertain times?

Beloved, the Lord’s heart is for you to have all these things, so much so that He already took the first step to pay for them in full with His perfect sacrifice on the cross. On the cross, He took your sins in his own body and became sin so that you could become the righteousness of God in Christ (2 Cor. 5:21). With this free gift of righteousness comes every other gift of healing, of wholeness, of peace, and of security.

In today’s sermon, we saw how the more we identify ourselves with the Lord and His righteousness, the more we will see healing flow into our bodies and peace multiplied in our lives. So this week, practice identifying yourself with Jesus and His righteousness. In biblical times, this act of identification was done by laying one’s hand on the burnt offering (a picture of Jesus, our blameless sacrifice). Today, we do this by confessing, “I am the righteousness of God in Christ,” and seeing ourselves exchanging all our sin, sickness, and pain for His righteousness, health, and peace.

Declare the truth of your righteous standing in Christ even in the midst of your challenge. Let it sink into your heart and open the floodgates of blessings that come with being the righteousness of God in Christ!

【生活】
因為叮噹家這邊下起了大雷雨，就想跟大家分享雨天會想聽的歌，首選就是Calum Scott 的《You Are The Reason》。

當初會聽到這首歌是因為聽到貝納頌的廣告，覺得很好聽就找來聽了，那時就不斷重複播放，呈現一個中毒狀態XDDD

之後遇到雨天我就會想聽這首歌，秋冬這種有點寂寥的季節我覺得也很適合泡杯熱咖啡或熱可可，配著這首歌靜靜地看書。

不知道大家有什麼推薦在雨天聽的歌呢？歡迎留言告訴我喔╰(*°▽°*)╯✨✨✨
