Living Under the Blessing: A Path to Freedom in Christ

The Bible reminds us of a stark truth: “The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked.” Without Jesus Christ, one lives under the shadow of this curse. Yet, the good news is that the choice between a blessed life and a cursed one lies in our hands, as outlined in God’s word. He has set before us life and death, blessing and curse, urging us to choose life. Obedience to His commands opens the door to blessings in every area of life—whether in the city, the field, our families, or the work of our hands.

The promise of redemption through Christ is a cornerstone of our faith. As Galatians 3:13 declares, Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, freeing us from sin, sickness, lack, and death. Through Him, the blessing of Abraham—who was richly blessed in every way—extends to all who believe. These blessings empower us not only to thrive but to be a blessing to others, reflecting God’s abundant love.

Finding True Peace

The world offers fleeting pleasures but no lasting peace. The wicked—whether drug dealers, cartels, or others entangled in sin—cannot find true rest. But Jesus promises peace that surpasses all understanding, a peace that transforms turmoil into calm.

One personal testimony echoes this truth. At the age of 19, after calling out to Jesus, a burden as heavy as a thousand pounds was lifted. The presence of God replaced pain with joy, bringing a profound awareness of His reality and goodness. That moment marked the beginning of a lifelong journey with Christ, grounded in the truth that God is far greater than sin.

The Power of Salvation

For those seeking the transformative power of salvation, it starts with a heartfelt prayer. Calling on the name of Jesus with sincerity opens the door to eternal life and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. This step not only ensures our salvation but fills us with God’s love and power to walk in obedience and victory.

The Role of God’s Word

The Bible is not merely a book—it is alive, powerful, and transformative. When we immerse ourselves in God’s word, it strengthens our faith, heals our hearts, and empowers us to claim His promises. With over 32,000 promises in the Bible, believers are heirs to an inheritance of favor, provision, and protection. Yet, these promises must be actively claimed by faith, much like withdrawing from a bank account.

Overcoming the Enemy

Living by faith requires us to resist the lies of the enemy. Just as Jesus countered Satan’s temptations with scripture, we too must declare God’s word over our lives. When the devil whispers defeat, sickness, or fear, we respond with the truth: God supplies our needs, heals our bodies, and surrounds us with favor.

Walking in Love and Forgiveness

Faith operates through love, making forgiveness essential. Holding onto bitterness hinders our fellowship with God and blocks His blessings. Jesus challenges us not only to forgive but also to bless and pray for those who wrong us. This act of grace reflects God’s own love and keeps our hearts free to receive His peace and joy.

Praise: A Gateway to God’s Presence

Praise is a powerful weapon against darkness. When we worship, God’s presence fills our lives, driving out depression, fear, and oppression. Like flipping a light switch in a dark room, praise ushers in light and banishes darkness.

Claiming Victory Through Christ

By meditating on God’s word day and night, speaking it aloud, and living it out, we cultivate a life of victory. The blessings of health, corporate prosperity (but not necessarily individual prosperity when you live in the midst of an untransformed culture) and joy are all found in the promises of scripture. Through Christ, we are empowered to triumph over every challenge and live as a testament to God’s glory.

Fall in love with the Bible, immerse yourself in God’s truth, and watch as He does great things in and through you. The blessings of the Lord are yours to claim—step into them by faith today.
