Freedom from the Curse

Galatians 3:13 says, "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 hangs on a tree."

Satan came to Adam's wife in the form of a serpent and deceived her into disobeying God. Adam, although he was not deceived, followed suit.

When Satan came into the Garden that day, he didn't have any power at all. He had to come in like a sneak, not even talking to Adam directly but talking to his wife.

Now Adam was standing there, and he should have kicked him out right then. But he didn't. Instead, he set aside the command God had given him and did what Satan told him to do and when he did that, he made Satan his lord.

In bowing his knee to Satan, he gave Satan the authority that God had given him. He made Satan the illegitimate ruler of the earth. Immediately things changed. The earth and everything in it was suddenly cursed.

But, God sent Jesus. And through Jesus, you have been set free from the curse. The moment you made Jesus Christ Lord of your life, you were delivered from the lordship of Satan. You were redeemed from the curse. The curse is out there. You can see it all around you. But now you have a choice. You have authority over it in the Name of Jesus, so you can stand against it.

God's done everything that love can do. He sent Jesus to free you from the curse. The rest is up to you. Now you must appropriate what has already been done for you.
