Are you awake yet? In the 17th chapter of Mark God is leading his people to follow Christ's example and be witnesses to all the world. Well? The 28th Chapter of Deuteronomy tells about the curses that are upon his people who are not obeying his commandments. God is sovereign, that means that what he says goes. No argument. We are so blessed that God is not a tyrant, or a cruel king who forces his will on us. God gives us a choice to serve him or not. We just bear the reward for our wages. But on the other hand we are free moral agents to serve God to the fullest or anywhere in between. The parable of the sower talks about the seed on good ground, some 30, some 60, and some 100 fold. We choose to what degree we serve him. When we are saved, healing is part of the price Jesus paid for on Calvary. Our attitude, faith, or lack of, unforgiveness, self-worth, obedience, envy, strife and all other sins I didn't mention. We even cause our healing to even diminish because of not taking and doing our part to keep our healing. Say God delivers you from smoking and you go back to doing it again and you get cancer. Will God be so apt to heal you, miraculously? Not likely. Not to say that he wont heal you. It says not to tempt God. Let us talk about the curses. Sickness is a curse of sin, which ends in death, eventually. Romans 6:23 says that the wages of sin is death, but, the gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ , our Lord. At the end of our life we receive the wages of our life. Personally I want to hear Jesus say, "well done thou good and faithful servant, enter in." not depart into everlasting punishment in hell. It is our choice. Another curse is found in Malachi 3:7. Even from the days of your fathers, you have gone away from my ordinances and have not kept them. Return unto me and I will return unto you, saith the Lord of host. But you said wherein shall I return? " 8. Will a man rob god? You have robbed me. But you say, where have we robbed you? In tithes and offerings. 9. You are cursed with a curse, for you have robbed me, even this whole nation. 10. Bring ye in the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in my house, and prove me now wherewith, Saith the Lord of host, see if I will not open you the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing that there be room enough to receive it. 11. I will rebuke the devourer for your sake.... he shall not destroy your fields nor your vineyards, saith the Lord of host. Hosea 4:6 says that God's people are destroyed for lack of knowledge and because they have rejected knowledge the Lord will reject them, and because you have forgotten the laws of your God, He will also forget your children. These are a few reasons for being cursed. The number one is not accepting Jesus as your personal Savior. Will it be worth it? Wont you pray and ask Jesus to come into your heart and forgive your sins, o, Son of God. I praise you and will serve you. I confess Jesus as my Lord.
