Have You Been Overtaken Lately

Deuteronomy 28 is one of my favorite passages of scripture. Why? Because God tells us all the blessings we will have if we obey Him, and you can find all the curses in the latter part of that chapter, and know that Jesus died for all curses, so everything you find in the curses, you have been redeemed from.

When the world and the economy try to bring you down, look back at the blessings and ask God to remember you when you obeyed Him. And you will know longer fret over the economy. And when you feel like the curses are coming your way, remember what the word of God tells us in Galatians, and know that they are not for you. AMEN!

Galatians 3 v 13-14....Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, 'Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree'), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.....

Galatians 5 v 1....Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.....

Colossians 1 v 13-14......He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins....

So no matter what the darkness of this world looks like, know that you as a child of Christ have been redeemed from it. It shall not overtake you. But the goodness of the LORD, and the blessings of Abraham shall OVERTAKE you. When someone tries to bless you, don't refuse their gifts, as when you do, you are stealing their blessings. Remember we reap what we sow. When someone tries to sow something into your life, accept it and remember to pay forward with blessings. Bless when you can and your blessings will come. Let the blessings of Abraham overtake you. When others are moaning about the economy, do not fret, for the LORD your GOD says, He will provide all of your needs and the desires of your heart. AMEN!

Remember when the world shuts a door, God opens a window. He will always provide a way out for you. He will always give you a better option. He has big plans for you, plans for you to prosper. AMEN!

Now, go read all the blessings He has for you in Deuteronomy 28.

RTB....John 7-9....
