Read: Deuteronomy 28:1-68; Luke 11:14-36; Psalm 77:1-20; Proverbs 12:18
The blessings are so amazingly good and the curses are equally bad. The truth is that you can individually live in the blessings while your nation is living under the curses. Our job is to have our blessing spread out to our nation and turn their curse into a blessing. We do that by sharing our prosperity, loving and helping the poor, and working toward changing the laws. We are living in a great day where this is literally happening. But, we have to remember that the devil is our adversary in everything we are doing to see this happen. Greater is he that is in us than he that is in the world! We are living in the time when Jesus prayer is manifesting, “may your kingdom come on earth, as it is in heaven.”
Jesus gave us the perfect picture. He cast out the demon from the man who was dumb - unable to speak. This was the last of the tests the Pharisees had proclaimed that only the Messiah could do. They had to make a statement and instead of saying that Jesus was the Messiah, they proclaimed that he got his power from Satan. They chose the curse to be upon them.
Jesus told the religious leaders that the only sign they would get would be the sign of Jonah. Jonah was in the belly of the whale for three days but rose from the dead to preach to the town of Nineveh and they repented. Jesus would descend to the belly of the earth and rise from the dead on the third day. Their unbelief would cause them to be eternally condemned. The way they saw was making them blind.
Lord, give us strategy into bringing your blessings upon our land. May we not give up in fighting for righteousness and seeing your kingdom manifest on earth.
