1 WHEN ABRAM WAS NINETY-NINE
YEARS OLD, THE LORD APPEARED TO
HIM AND SAID, "I AM EL-SHADDAI
—'GOD ALMIGHTY.' SERVE ME
FAITHFULLY AND LIVE A BLAMELESS
LIFE.
2 I WILL MAKE A COVENANT WITH
YOU, BY WHICH I WILL GUARANTEE
TO GIVE YOU COUNTLESS
DESCENDANTS."
3 AT THIS, ABRAM FELL FACE DOWN
ON THE GROUND. THEN GOD SAID TO
HIM,
4 "THIS IS MY COVENANT WITH YOU: I
WILL MAKE YOU THE FATHER OF A
MULTITUDE OF NATIONS!
5 WHAT'S MORE, I AM CHANGING
YOUR NAME. IT WILL NO LONGER BE
ABRAM. INSTEAD, YOU WILL BE
CALLED ABRAHAM, FOR YOU WILL BE
THE FATHER OF MANY NATIONS."
The curse of the Law is threefold:
spiritual death, sickness and poverty.
The BLESSING of Abraham is also
threefold: spiritual
life, divine healing
and miracles, prosperity and divine
health, because Jesus, who is the
same yesterday, today and forever, is
our Healer, through His Holy Spirit
who lives in us, today (Hebrews 13:8,
AMPC):
"Nonexistent things that [He has
foretold and promised] AS IF THEY
[ALREADY] EXISTED"! Glory to God!
Genesis 17:1-5 in the New Living
Translation says:
PREACHED BEFORE THE GOSPEL
UNTO ABRAHAM, SAYING, IN THEE
SHALL ALL NATIONS BE BLESSED.
9 SO THEN THEY WHICH BE OF FAITH
ARE BLESSED WITH FAITHFUL
ABRAHAM.
8 JESUS CHRIST (THE MESSIAH) IS
[ALWAYS] THE SAME, YESTERDAY,
TODAY, [YES] AND FOREVER (TO THE
AGES).
Now put your shoutin' clothes on and
let's look at Galatians 3:11-15:
DEAD AND SPEAKS OF THE
NONEXISTENT THINGS THAT [HE HAS
FORETOLD AND PROMISED] AS IF
THEY [ALREADY] EXISTED
EL-SHADDAI = the God
who is MORE
THAN ENOUGH! More than enough to
overcome any financial problems or
health problems because all those
problems were listed under THE
CURSE of THE LAW. Now look at
Galatians 3:8-9:
8 AND THE SCRIPTURE, FORESEEING
THAT GOD WOULD JUSTIFY THE
HEATHEN THROUGH FAITH,
11 BUT THAT NO MAN IS JUSTIFIED BY
THE LAW IN THE SIGHT OF GOD, IT IS
EVIDENT: FOR, THE JUST SHALL LIVE
BY FAITH.
12 AND THE LAW IS NOT OF FAITH:
BUT, THE MAN THAT DOETH THEM
SHALL LIVE IN THEM.
13 CHRIST HATH REDEEMED US FROM
THE CURSE OF THE LAW, BEING
MADE A CURSE FOR US: FOR IT IS
WRITTEN, CURSED IS EVERY ONE
THAT HANGETH ON A TREE:
14
THAT THE BLESSING OF ABRAHAM
MIGHT COME ON THE GENTILES
THROUGH JESUS CHRIST; THAT WE
MIGHT RECEIVE THE PROMISE OF THE
SPIRIT THROUGH FAITH.
