DEVINE EXCHANGE

LET’S GET TO THE TRUTH ABOUT CURSE(S)

DEFINATION: To wish that bad things happen to someone or something. God curses, or makes bad things happen, only as a punishment for not obeying him. (http://biblica.com/niv/concordance/curse/)

THE DEVINE EXCHANGE OF CURSES FOR BLESSINGS

GALATIANS 3:13, 14 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.” He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit

ROMANS 5:15-19 But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many! Again, the gift of God is not like the result of the one man’s sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification. For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ. Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men. For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.

Deuteronomy 23:5 However, the LORD your God would not listen to Balaam but turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the LORD your God loves you

TITUS 2:13, 14 while we wait for the blessed hope—the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.

"Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD

                       Isaiah 1:18

When you look at life from the perspective of the challenges, circumstances, situations and the obstacles of the current moment, you will miss it! Such a perspective burrs your way of looking at life positively. It blocks the way of hope, and you know who the Way the Truth and the Life is? Jesus. That’s why the Lord wants in us the transformation of the mind, the renewal of our way of thinking, the acquiring of a pure brand new heart. He makes you a new creature, one that has let go of the old self and has embraced a new self that is in Christ Jesus, then you can reason, not alone, for now it is not you that lives but Christ who lives in you, now you have the mind of God and now you can thus reason together. (1 Corinthians 2:16)

Philippians 4:8

 Whatever is true.

 Whatever is noble.

Whatever is right.

Whatever is pure.

 Whatever is lovely.

       Whatever is admirable.

If anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.

Let such be the reasons for your thinking!

Hallelujah!
