We diminish spiritual powers like they are mysterious gifts for the next
world. But we have Christ resurrection power! We have power over
death!
We are going to an eternal kingdom with unending riches and glory. What
opposition is worth our fleshly struggle. The stakes are to high for us.
We would curse it to our death bed.
What authority in this world would you trade for calling things into
existence by the word? Would you sell your birthright for a measly bowl
of soup?
Grace is not Christmas card wishes. Grace gives us the authority to
curse the curse. We trade the riches of this world for ownership of all
things in Christ. Grace is the kingdom blessing.
God's law must be met in order to love others. Without God's covenant we
could never love. Faithfulness to the covenant requires overcoming
opposition by the curse.
We are most holy when we pronounce the axioms in step with the God of unfathomable detail.
We haven't come close to God until we realize the One who paints the forest with unlimited colors is in control of our lives.
The Lord is gracious and righteous, the Lord is full of compassion." God
is the only one that draws near to us when we draw near to Him through
word. He unifies both good and bad.
All men are sinners. But the Psalmist teaches that believers are not
cursed. The wicked are described as breaking up all that is good. We sin
because we are still sinners.
God planned in eternity past that we would be angry when we faced the
abuse of the world. He gave us the pronouncements in our reactions to
identify with our experience
God determined the end of all things according to blessing and cursing.
Nothing transpires outside of God's predetermined choice.
