Deuteronomy 28:1,15

"If you obey these laws and commands THEN I will fully bless you ... IF ... all these curses will come and overtake you".

"It is not about how much you try or how good your intentions are. It is to FULLY obey. That is 100% and there is no room to drop! (Galatians 3:10); "All who rely on observing the law are under a curse". ONE fully obeyed on our behalf. One fully did it as last Adam on our behalf. One FULLY redeemed us from the curse of the law that the blessing given to Abraham can come tous. That means that NONE of the curses in Deuteronomy 28 belong to us - not even one. Christians should not be living under any curse of poverty, sickness, disease or broken relationships. Many Christians are living under the curse as people not in Christ because they are trying to pursue righteousness rather than submitting to the gift. None of the curses belong to us but ALL the blessings belong to us because in Christ we have FULLY obeyed the law! God wanted to relate to His people on grace and faith - not on our performance but HIS!".

Isaiah 54:9

" ... so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee".

"The emotion of anger is gone forever but the emotion of surging love abides".

Isaiah 53 and Isaiah 54

"Isaiah 54:14; "In righteousness you will be established". You cannot believe that anything apart from what Isaiah 53 speaks about - that you were declared righteous because He carried your iniquity and He was punished for you.

Isaiah 53 speaks about the Cross and all that Jesus bore for you so Isaiah 54 can say; "Therefore God took an oath NEVER to be angry with you again!". He is talking about not your righteousness but the righteousness of God".

Malachi 3:8

"Will a man rob God? Yet you are robbing Me! But you say, 'How have we robbed You?' In tithes and offerings".

Zechariah 4:6

"Not by might nor by power but by My Spirit says the Lord".

"Not by might nor by power but by My Spirit says the Lord". The Hebrew word for "might" means it is not by what you have got in your hand - not by your resources. Can be translated as "wealth". The word "power" means "to stretch" - to take a war bow and stretch it to its absolute tightness, yet the arrow would still fall short of the vision - but by MY Spirit that the restoration to glory will happen. My Spirit will make the provisions!”.

Zechariah 4:6-7

"Then he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel saying, 'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' says the LORD of hosts".

“Not by might” – military power or by human strength. “by My Spirit” – How do we ministries of the Spirit? The two verses should go together! “Grace – grace – grace to the cornerstone” – and when the prophets spoke grace to the weary tired people, they all rose up in a supernatural anointing and built the temple and finished the wall. So there must be a foundation of grace in our lives!”.

Zechariah 4:5

"So the angel who was speaking with me answered and said to me, "Do you not know what these are?" And I said, "No, my lord."

promise".

Joel 2:28

"It will come about after this That I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind; And your sons and daughters will prophesy, Your old men will dream dreams, Your young men will see visions".

"I will pour out My Spirit on ALL flesh". This dear Person has not yet been poured out on all flesh. On the Day of Pentecost Peter stood up and showed the 120 and the 3000 that received the Holy Spirit. 3000 are in the Kingdom of Heaven because the Father poured out His Spirit on them.

"The Day of Pentecost wasn't "all flesh" - it was 3000 but the day is coming when ALL FLESH will receive this pouring out of the Spirit and billions will come into the Kingdom of God. The Greek word for "pour" is a word that a lover would use for their lover. "Pour out all my affections upon you".

Isaiah 55:12

"For you will go out with joy, And be led forth with peace; The mountains and the hills will break forth into shouts of joy before you, And all the trees of the field will clap their hands".

“(Isaiah 53-55) - this is about the gospel and the New Covenant coming into the earth. Isaiah 55:12; "You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace and the mountains and the hills will burst into song before you and the trees of the fields will clap their hands". Now in prophetic language, mountains refer to nations. They can also refer to problems. Nations will burst into song for the people who go out in joy and be led forth in peace. Zion the joy of the whole earth is led out in joy and goes forth in peace, nations will burst into songs of praise or mountains of problems will have to give way to the song of joy and peace in the earth”.

Isaiah 54:10

"For the mountains may be removed and the hills may shake, But My lovingkindness will not be removed from you, And My covenant of peace will not be shaken," Says the LORD who has compassion on you".

(v10) "My unfailing love for you will not be shaken". The Hebrew for "love" means "favour, kindness, fondness, grace towards you". He is saying I will give you preferential treatment. My fondness and My affection to bless you to give you supernatural advantages in life will never be shaken. In the Scriptures, mountains often refer to problems. Yet here it says that the mountains will become level plains and the cry will be "Grace-grace-grace!". With this oath in your heart that God will never be angry and rebuke you again - His unfailing love for you will never change - you can see the mountains facing you be removed".

Proverbs 4:23

"Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs of life".

"Guard your heart" - "You must monitor what is going on in your subconscious (dreams) because if you are not monitoring it, your innocence is being invaded by something that pollutes that innocence and brings a jaded sense of cynicism again and defensiveness and then you are building your life on that foundation. But if you build your life on a foundation of child-like innocence you are building a structure that will inavde the impossible and the supernatural".

Psalm 119:77, 97

Psalm 99:5

"Exalt the LORD our God. And worship at His footstool; Holy is He".

“Worship at His footstool” – “What is His footstool? A footstool in the Bible is a resting place of someone who is sitting on a throne. Jesus said in the Gospels that the earth is His footstool so worshipping God is worship Jesus Christ because He is already exalted to the highest place … Where He is making His/our enemies to be under His feet in reality and in experience”.

Psalm 91:1

"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High. Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty".

“Psalm 91:1; "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High" - that is the Hebrew word; "Most High" = "El elyon". "Will rest in the shadow of the Almighty". "Shelter" means that intimate place, that close place, that secret place of the Most High God. "Will rest" - wonderful word that. "Shadow" - that word is the "Hovering Presence of God" - it is not just a static Presence. It is a Presence like we see when the Presence of God was hovering over the deep in Genesis 1:2. This is like a helicopter over you and there is a down-draft of the Presence of God. The hovering Presence of God - the shadow of the Almighty will be over your life”.

"You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand".

“Don't seek deliverance but the Deliverer! Miracles radiate easily in His Presence! Those who seek miracles are always living in fear and taboo of what not living like Jesus. In His Presence is fullness of joy! The more heavenly minded we are, the more earthly good we will be. Why invest in something that will not last?”.
