Cannot Be Cursed!

Devotions:

“Nevertheless the Lord thy God would not hearken unto Balaam; but the Lord thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because the Lord thy God loved thee.”

‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭23:5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

        The evil forces in the world try as they may, want to put curses upon us to bring about our demise, whether it is through sickness, disease, calamity, accident or some other way of making us of no effect.  Here in the Old Testament we find tha the king of Moab, Balak tried to get Balaam to curse Israel.  Balak knew that whom Balaam cursed was cursed but God did not allow Balaam to curse Israel because God had blessed them.

        We are of the New Covenant which is based on better promises, Hebrews 8:6.  As Balaam could not curse Israel, there is not witch or any other entity that can put a curse upon us because our God has blessed us.  Our covenant is better because God does not just overlook our sins but He has fully dealt with them in Jesus.  There is not case that the devil can bring against the child of God. The courts of heaven have been fully satisfied, the debt paid and the believer declared innocent, aquitted. 

“Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:33-34‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”

‭‭Galatians‬ ‭3:13-14‬ ‭KJV‬‬
