"CHRIST WAS MADE A CURSE FOR US"

Gala 3:1-140  For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, [it is] evident: for, The just shall live by faith. And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. 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.
Jame 4:7  Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.


Jesus suffered for us on the cross so that we would be freed from the curses spoken about in the Bible that people of the world suffer.

We need to find out what He suffered so that we would be freed from it.

THE DEFEAT OF THE DEVIL MUST BE ENFORCED BY YOU.

Jesus defeated the devil on the cross.

Jesus died and redeemed us from the curse. In Deuteronomy 28:15-44 we read a list of the curses of the law. These include poverty and SICKNESS. These curses came upon those who were disobedient.
Deut 28:15  But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:
We were disobedient. Dont let anybody tell you that sickness belongs to you.

Anybody that ever came to Him were healed.

But there are some things we must suffer that we were not redeemed from.

TEMPTATION
Jame 1:12  Blessed [is] the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
PERSECUTION
2Tim 3:12  Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
AFFLICTION
2Cor 4:17  For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding [and] eternal weight of glory;
WRONGFUL TREATMENT FROM OTHERS
1Pet 2:20  For what glory [is it], if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer [for it], ye take it patiently, this [is] acceptable with God.
REPROACH
Acts 5:41  And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.
You need to distinguish what is of God and what is not. You might ask that if we are redeemed from sickness then why are so many saints sick? HEALTH in the Hebrew also means MEDICINE. Our body is designed to ward off disease by becoming immune to it. I am one Body with Christ. Before you get sick, know the truth. Noah's ark rested on a mountain called ARARAT. We do not fight against flesh and blood. Jesus hit Satan, not Herod. If People hurt you, attack the real culprit, Satan.

You have power over those spirits that affect people and use them for evil.

God's people are destroyed for reason of a lack of knowledge.
