Galatians 3:13 13Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”),
Many
believers probably know that when Jesus died, our sins were forgiven
because He shed His blood. Without the shedding of blood, there is no
forgiveness of sins. (Ephesians 1:7, Hebrews 9:22) But why did Jesus
have to die on the cross, since the capital punishment of Israel during
the time of Christ was stoning and not crucifixion?
Jesus
hung and died on the cross because He knew the law which says that “he
who is hanged is accursed of God”. (Deuteronomy 21:23) He wanted to
redeem us from every curse of the law, so He went to the cross, “having
become a curse for us”. Jesus took all our curses at the cross, so that
we can take all His blessings!
The
moment you received Jesus, every curse in your life was destroyed. And
the way you experience this is to simply believe and confess what Jesus
has done for you. Say, “Because of Jesus, I am blessed.” The more you
say it and believe it, the more you will experience it.
So
if there is an area in your life in which you feel oppressed, for
example, a skin condition that refuses to heal, say, “Christ has
redeemed me from this skin condition. I refuse it and reject it in
Jesus’ name because by His stripes I am healed!” (1 Peter 2:24) Believe
it and say it until you see it!
“But
Pastor Prince, my father died of cancer. His father died of cancer. And
I have been told by my doctor that there is a likelihood that I might
get it too. It’s in our blood!”
My
friend, the blood of Christ shed at the cross has redeemed you from all
curses, including diseases like cancer! God put the curse of cancer on
Jesus at the cross. And He put all the blessings of Jesus on you.
Therefore, expect only the blessings of Jesus to come upon you and
overtake you!
