Time to shoot some Holy Cows from my soap box
Feel free to make comments on this one it's a hot issue and I want feed back.
ok so now that I got your attention lets get into the word. First I would like to this will be about poverty tonight I will look into the other curses which fall under the law another day.
Deuteronomy 28
1IF YOU will listen diligently to the voice of the Lord your God, being watchful to do all His commandments which I command you this day, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.
2And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you if you heed the voice of the Lord your God.
3 Blessed shall you be in the city and blessed shall you be in the field.
4Blessed shall be the fruit of your body and the fruit of your ground and the fruit of your beasts, the increase of your cattle and the young of your flock.
5Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading trough.
6Blessed shall you be when you come in and blessed shall you be when you go out.
7The Lord shall cause your enemies who rise up against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.
8The Lord shall command the blessing upon you in your storehouse and in all that you undertake. And He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God gives you.
9The Lord will establish you as a people holy to Himself, as He has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in His ways.
10And all people of the earth shall see that you are called by the name [and in the presence of] the Lord, and they shall be afraid of you.
11And the Lord shall make you have a surplus of prosperity, through the fruit of your body, of your livestock, and of your ground, in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers to give you.
12The Lord shall open to you His good treasury, the heavens, to give the rain of your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hands; and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.
13And the Lord shall make you the head, and not the tail; and you shall be above only, and you shall not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you this day and are watchful to do them.
14And you shall not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to the right hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
Proverbs 6
10Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to lie down and sleep
11So will your poverty come like a robber or one who travels [with slowly but surely approaching steps] and your want like an armed man [making you helpless].
12A worthless person, a wicked man, is he who goes about with a perverse (contrary, wayward) mouth.
Proverbs 10
15The rich man's wealth is his strong city; the poverty of the poor is their ruin.
16The earnings of the righteous (the upright, in right standing with God) lead to life, but the profit of the wicked leads to further sin.
Proverbs 13
18Poverty and shame come to him who refuses instruction and correction, but he who heeds reproof is honored.
Proverbs 14
23In all labor there is profit, but idle talk leads only to poverty.
Proverbs 20
12The hearing ear and the seeing eye--the Lord has made both of them.
13Love not sleep, lest you come to poverty; open your eyes and you will be satisfied with bread.
Proverbs 23
21For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty, and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.
Proverbs 24
33Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep--
34So shall your poverty come as a robber, and your want as an armed man
Proverbs 28
18He who walks uprightly shall be safe, but he who willfully goes in double and wrong ways shall fall in one of them.
19He who cultivates his land will have plenty of bread, but he who follows worthless people and pursuits will have poverty enough.
20A faithful man shall abound with blessings, but he who makes haste to be rich [at any cost] shall not go unpunished.
2 Corinthians 8
1WE WANT to tell you further, brethren, about the grace (the favor and spiritual blessing) of God which has been evident in the churches of Macedonia [arousing in them the desire to give alms];
2For in the midst of an ordeal of severe tribulation, their abundance of joy and their depth of poverty [together] have overflowed in wealth of lavish generosity on their part.
3For, as I can bear witness, [they gave] according to their ability, yes, and beyond their ability; and [they did it] voluntarily,
4Begging us most insistently for the favor and the fellowship of contributing in this ministry for [the relief and support of] the saints [in Jerusalem].
5Nor [was this gift of theirs merely the contribution] that we expected, but first they gave themselves to the Lord and to us [as His agents] by the will of God [[1] entirely disregarding their personal interests, they gave as much as they possibly could, having put themselves at our disposal to be directed by the will of God]--
6So much so that we have urged Titus that as he began it, he should also complete this beneficent and gracious contribution among you [the church at Corinth].
2 Corinthians 8
9For you are becoming progressively acquainted with and recognizing more strongly and clearly the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ (His kindness, His gracious generosity, His undeserved favor and spiritual blessing), [in] that though He was [so very] rich, yet for your sakes He became [so very] poor, in order that by His poverty you might become enriched (abundantly supplied).
I will continue this tomorrow as I'm not even close to having an exhaustive list of the blessings and curses I can say this though we rest in the blessings of the children of Israel today because it says those blessings are for the righteous men and well if you accepted Christ you are righteous, but I digress I will leave it up to you to examine the evidence and decide for your self from the word of God not a preachers pulpit or some theology but from the truth and by doing that I may end up being surprised my self. I am doing this not only so I can see it for myself if I am wrong but also for you to see it for yourselves if you are wrong. Either way the Word will decide and the Spirit will guide.
Till tomorrow God bless and God keep and protect you
