Have You Spoken a Curse?

 

Have You Spoken A Curse?

 

You have! Every time you thought or said, “G-d Damn …!” You have not only been vulgar you have spoken a curse on someone, someplace, something, or some situation!

 

Think about it! Those words are a curse whether you meant it as a curse or not!

 

The next question is, have you repented of cursing? Not just being vulgar but actually placing a cursing on someone of something?

 

We all have even after becoming a Christian! When we became a Christian and asked JEHOVAH GOD to Forgive our sins, He Did! As a Christian in the heat of a moment of hurt or pain or fear or anger, many of us have spoken this curse without thinking about it and we have later asked GOD to Forgive us and He does, in CHRIST JESUS!

 

But what about the curse itself? We spoke a curse on someone or something or some place or some situation, did you repent of making a curse in JEHOVAH GOD’s Name? Did you ask GOD to reverse that curse, did you tell GOD that you released that person from the curse you spoke over them?

 

We all know that sin has consequences that can last years after our Repentance and Forgiveness and these consequences affect ourselves and others!

 

We all need to ask GOD not just to forgive us for cursing but to we must also release people, places, things and situations from curses that we have spoken! This is spiritual warfare!

 

Most of us cannot remember every curse in GOD’s Name that we have spoken, so we must us a blanket prayer such as, “Heavenly Father, forgive me for asking You to curse anyone, anything, anyplace or any situation. I releasee them from the curse I spoke in anger, hatred, envy or whatever; and I Bless my enemies, my neighbors, my friends and family in JESUS’ Name.”

 

When we curse it is a sin that weights on us until it is released by us!

 

Seek first The Kingdom of GOD and His Righteousness!

Psalm 37:7

 Psalm 37:7

“Rest in YEHOVAH and wait Patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man doing wicked devises.”

“There is no condition of Life in which we cannot Abide in YESHUA.” Oswald Chambers

John 8:25-32, John 15

John 14:21

 

John 14:21

 

“He who possesses My Commands and Guards (Keeps) Them, it is he who Loves Me, and he who Loves Me shall be Loved by My Father, and I shall Love him and Manifest Myself to him.” The Scriptures

 

“All GOD’s Revelations are Sealed until They are Opened to us by Obedience. You will never get them open by philosophy or thinking (claiming). Immediately you Obey, a Flash of Light comes.” Oswald Chambers

 

Every Command of GOD and JESUS comes with a Reward and every Blessing and Promise comes with a Requirement. You cannot have the Result unless you fulfill the Requirement. This is not legalism, this is not religion, this is The Word of GOD; Read it, Believe it and Live it!

Joel - Fasting and Repentance!

 

Joel

Fasting And Repentance

 

Chapter 1-2:14 Is GOD’s Judgment against Israel and GOD’s Call to Repentance to Israel.

Chapter 2:15-3 Is GOD’s Call to Repentance and final Judgment against the nations (Battle of Armageddon, Revelation 16:12-16, 19:11-21).

 

Chapter 2:1, 15-16a “Blow the trumpet (ram’s horn or shofar) in Zion and sound the alarm in My Holy Mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; for The Day of JEHOVAH is coming, for it is at hand:” (Joel is calling the people of Israel to repentance because The Kingdom of Heaven was at hand; John the Baptist and JESUS each called the people of Israel to Repentance because The Kingdom of GOD was at hand (Matthew 3:1-2, 4:17, now The Kingdom is here) “…Blow the trump in Zion concreate a Fast (Isaiah 58; Zechariah 7), call a sacred assembly (Nehemiah 8:1, 8-10; 9-10, read 9:1-3); gather the people, sanctify the Congregation, assemble the Elders, gather the children and nursing babies;”

 

JESUS fasted: Matthew 4:1-2.

JESUS said “…When you fast…” Matthew 6:16-18; 9:14-15.

JESUS said, “…this kind does not go out except by Prayer and Fasting!” Matthew 17:21.

 

Paul fasted: 2 Corinthians 6:4-6.

Paul said “…give your selves to fasting…” 1 Corinthians 7:5.

 

Fasting should be part of our normal Christian Life, not just something we do in an emergency!

1 John Chapter 2 Part 1

 

1 John Chapter 2

Part 1 Vs 1-11

 

Introduction to John:

1:1-3 Personal testimony – John knew JESUS in the flesh as one of the 12 JESUS  called to be His disciples (Matthew 10:1-4). He also knew JESUS in the supernatural by his experience with Peter and James on the Mount of Transfiguration (Matthew 17:1-9). Then John knew JESUS in the SPIRIT after His Resurrection (Mark 16:14-18), so when John talks about JESUS he knew JESUS more than most in His day and more than all of us since.

 

2:1 That you may not sin! (Proverbs 1 The call to not sin and the result of sinning; Hebrews 7:24-25, 9:27-28; JESUS said twice, “Go and sin no more!” John 5:1-15, 8:1-12)

 

:2 Verse 1 ends with the statement, “And if any one sins, we have an Advocate with The Father, JESUS CHRIST The Righteous!” John continues in verse 2, “And He Himself is the Propitiation* for our sins and not only ours but for the whole world!” That is the Gospel! (Romans 3:21-26; John 1:29, 3:16-17)

 

:3-6 These are critical statements to Believers, what you say has to match your lifestyle!

:3 “Now by this we know that we know Him, IF we keep His Commandments!” (John 8:31-32)

:4“He who says, ‘I know Him.’ and does not keep his Commandments is a Liar; and The Truth Is Not in him!” (John 3:18-21,30-36)

:5 “But whoever keeps His Word truly the Love of GOD is Perfected in him; by this we know that we are in Him.” (John 14:19-24; 1 John 5:20-21)

:6 “He who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk just as He Walked!” (John 15:1-8 JESUS tells us to abide in Him 4 times and if we do not abide in Him we will not produce fruit 3 times.)

 

:7-11 True Light and Love, do you have them in your Life?

:7 “…no new Commandment to you but an old Commandment which you have heard from the Beginning.” (The Law given by Moses; The Word spoken by JESUS; 1 John 3:10-11, 21-23, 5:20-21)

:8 “Again a New commandment…which thing is True in Him and in you (us).” (This comes out of abiding in JESUS, John 13:34-35, 15:9-14) “…because darkness is passing away and True Light is already Shining.” (John 1:6-9, 3:18-21; 1 John 1:5-7)

:9 “He who says he is in The Light and hates his brother, is in darkness until now.” (Matthew 5:21-22, 43-48; 1 Corinthians 13:1-3) “…is in darkness until now!” (The world’s love is nothing if you have the greatest expression of natural love but you do not abide in JESUS and He in you, your love is worthless.)

:10 “He who Loves his brother abides in Light and there is no cause for stumbling in him.” (2 Peter 1:5-11)

:11 “But he who hates his brother is in darkness…because the darkness has blinded his eyes.” (Matthew 6:22-23; John 12:35-36)

Matthew 6:24 Trusting GOD Above Money!

 

Matthew 6:24

Trusting GOD Above Money!

 

JESUS said, “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve GOD and mammon (Money)!”

 

Paul said in 1 Timothy 6:10, “ For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” (Proverbs 15:27; Ephesians 4:17-24)

 

JESUS said in Matthew 6:19-23, “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is there your heart will be also! The lamp of the body is the eye, if therefore your eye is good (clear or healthy), your whole body will be full of light; but if your eye is bad (evil or unhealthy), your whole body will be full of darkness, if therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness?”

 

JESUS said in Matthew 6:25-34, “…Seek first the Kingdom of GOD and His Righteousness  and all these things (shelter, drink & food and clothing) will be added to you; but do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about its own things, sufficient for the day is its own trouble!”

 

Does GOD want to make everyone prosperous and rich? No!

JESUS said in Luke 12:22-34 “…Therefore do not worry about your life… and do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink nor have an anxious mind; for all these things the nations of the world seek after and your Father knows that you need these things…Sell what you have and give alms, provide yourselves money bags that do not grow old, a treasure in Heaven that does not fail…” (Luke 12:12-21)

 

In Acts 20:35 Paul quoted JESUS as saying, “…It is more  Blessed to give than to receive!”

 

Does GOD want us to put our life’s desires before His Purpose for our life? No!

In Mark 8:34-38, JESUS said, “…Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. (JESUS’ cross was to die for our sins, our cross is to Obey GOD’s Plan for our life, Psalm 139:13-18)…for what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and losses his own soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?”

 

One more example: JESUS was watching people give their offering at the Temple and noted a poor widow who put in two pennies, Luke 21:1-4, “…for all these out of their abundance have put in offerings for GOD but she out of her poverty put in all the livelihood that she had.”

 

Romans 6:22-23, “But now having been freed from sin and having become slaves of GOD, you have your fruit to Holiness and The End, Everlasting Life; for the wages of sin is death, but the Gift of GOD is Eternal Life in CHRIST JESUS!”

Ecclesiastes Chapter 7 Part 5

 

Ecclesiastes Chapter 7

Part 5 Vs 23-29

Complete Jewish Bible

 

When Solomon writes Ecclesiastes he seems disappointed and discouraged about the results of his life choices and how he sees the lives of others working out in the world.

Solomon knew the True and Living GOD JEHOVAH, he knew of the Promised Messiah but could not reconcile what he experienced and saw with the Promise. We have the Promised Messiah, JESUS CHRIST, we have no excuse for this kind of sorrow!

 

:23-24 All this I have put to the test of Wisdom (Isaiah 1:18; Proverbs 1:1-7), I said, “I will acquire Wisdom.”; but Wisdom remained far from me (Why?). That which exists is far away and deep, so deep that it cannot be discovered (Psalm 139:1-12; Proverbs 16:1-3; Matthew 10:26; 1Corinthians 2:6-11).

 

:25 So I turned myself and my thoughts to know, search out and seek Wisdom and the reasons behind things, also to know how foolish it is to be wicked and how stupid to act like a fool (Ecclesiastes 1:16-18; Isaiah 55:6, Jeremiah 26:11-14;  Matthew 6:33, 34).

[Solomon becomes king of Israel and prays to JEHOVAH for Wisdom to govern the people; and GOD Honors his prayer and gives him Wisdom beyond any man, wealth beyond any man, fame beyond any man; but Solomon added to himself (Not GOD) wives beyond any man and that was his downfall.]

 

:26 I found more bitter than death the woman who is a trap, whose heart is a snare and whose hands are like prison chains (Proverbs 5, 7, 9:13-18). The man who Pleases GOD will escape her, but a sinner will be caught by her (Eve was deceived and talked Adam into sinning, Genesis 3:11-13; 1 Timothy 2:13-14).

 

:27-28 I have found this – says Kohelet (Preacher) – adding one thing to another to reach a conclusion, I searched a long time without finding it; one man in a thousand I have found, but a woman among all those I have not found (Ecclesiastes 1:1-2; Psalm 39:4-6).

 

:29 This is the only thing I have found that GOD made human beings upright, but they have devised many schemes (Genesis 1:26-28, 4:6-12, Proverbs 5:21-23; Ecclesiastes 12:9-14).
