When a person lives out from under
the curse and is walking uprightly
before God, he has the power of God
in his corner. He has the power of the
Spirit Himself backing him. The Word
of God states very clearly in Hebrews
7:22 that Jesus is the surety, or the
guarantee, of this new covenant. Jesus
Christ of Nazareth will have to fail before
the covenant can fail, and in Him
there is no failure. Why? Because Jesus
is love and love never fails.

Go to the Word. That is what it is
for. That is why it was written. It is
a copy of your contract—your covenant—
with God. It sets out the things
God promised Jesus that He would do.
Hebrews 1 speaks of Jesus’ inauguration
as Lord of the universe. It says
that He is upholding all things by the
Word of His power. If you want to be
upheld, get on the Word.

Once you make Jesus Lord over
your life, you become a covenant man
under the new covenant. Remember
God said, “As for Me, these things
are so.” He said, “As for Me, you are
healed. As for Me, you are redeemed
from the curse of the law. As for Me,
the blessing of Abraham is upon you.”
The only reason these blessings are not
operating in your life is because you
have not stood up and said, “Well, as
for me, it is so, too!”

Make this confession from your
heart before God.

“Father, in the Name of Jesus, I
believe in my heart that Jesus has been
raised from the dead. I make Him Lord
of my life now with the confession of
my mouth. I am His and He is mine!
Jesus has redeemed me from the curse
of the law. Sickness will have to depart.
Disease will have to depart. Poverty
will no longer be in my house, for I am
redeemed from the curse of poverty.
I am a believer and not a doubter. I
have the Name of Jesus and the power
of the Holy Spirit. Thank God, darkness
is over. The storms of life will no
longer be victorious over me. Jesus
is my intercessor. The Spirit of God
strengthens me. You, God, are my very
own Father. I praise Your Name!”

In the Great Commission (Mark
16:15-18), Jesus did not say, “These
signs shall follow those that believe…
they shall pray for the sick and they
shall recover.” Jesus did not mention
praying for the sick. He said,
“Lay hands on the sick, and they shall
recover.” There is nothing wrong with
praying for the sick, but many times
we have our minds so rigid that we
miss the reality of the words. He said,
“Go ye into all the world, and preach
the gospel to every creature.” Jesus was
saying that the gospel would do the
job. When we preach the gospel—the
good news, the Word of God—then
we can expect the sick to be healed
when we lay hands on them. First, we
must preach the truth—“that God was
in Christ, reconciling the world unto
himself, not imputing their trespasses
unto them.” And that He who knew
no sin was made to be sin for us “that
we might be made the righteousness of
God in him” (2 Corinthians 5:19-21).
Preach the truth…the signs will follow!

What is a pair of crippled legs that
they would not obey the voice of the
righteousness of God? What are blind
eyes that they would refuse to see after
Jesus said in Luke 4:18, “The Spirit of
the Lord is upon me…to preach…recovering
of sight to the blind”? God is the Creator.
He is the Father. Satan has no right to
run roughshod over God’s children.

“Ought not this woman be loosed,
seeing she is a daughter of Abraham?”

You can apply this to yourself
because “if ye be Christ’s, then are ye
Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to
the promise.” Ought not this man be
loosed from financial bondage, seeing
he is the seed of Abraham? Ought not
this woman be loosed from arthritis,
seeing she is a seed of Abraham?

Jesus spoke the words, “Woman,
thou art loosed from thine infirmity.”
Then in honor of the Word of God, He
laid His hands on her. The power it
took to enforce God’s Word came into
action and immediately the woman
was set free! Praise the Lord!

I have used this fact of being redeemed
from the curse many, many
times. When Satan would come at me
with some problem, I would open my
Bible to Galatians 3:13-14 and say,
“Praise God! I’ve been redeemed from
that. Satan, you are not going to put
that on me. I’ll not stand for it!”
