Posted : 1 Mar, 2011 07:46 PM Now it will come to pass, if you diligently OBEY the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully ALL His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. ALL these BLESSINGS will come to you and overtake you, because you OBEY the voice of the Lord your God Blessings for Obedience: Deuteronomy chapter 28 (1) You will be blessed in the city, and blessed in the country. (2) Blessed and increased will be your body, your work, and all you own will be blessed. (3) Blessed will be the works of your hands. (4) Blessed going in and out of your home. (5) God will cause your enemies to bedefeated. (6) The Lord will command the blessings on your family. (7) The Lord will establish you as a holy people for Himself. (8) The Lord wil grant you all the things you desire and do with increase. (9) The Lord will open up for you the treasure of heavens, and provide you with all the finsnces you need. (10) The Lord will make you the head and not the tail. If you DO NOT OBEY the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments and His satues which I command you today, then all these CURSES ill come upon you and overtake you: The CURSES for Disobedience: (1) You will be CURSED in the city and in the country (2) You will be CURSED with no increase in your work. (3) You will be CURSED in your body, your work, and all you own. (4) You will be CURSED coming in and going out. (5) The Lord will send on you cursing, confusion, and rebuke in all that you set your hand to do, until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly, because of the wickedness of your doingd in which you have foesaken Me. (6) The Lord will make the plague cling to you until He has consumed you from the land which you are going to possess. (7) The Lord will strike you with consumption, with fever, and with inflammation, with severe burning fever, with sebere burning, with the sword, with scorching, and with mildew, these things and sicknesses will pursue you until you perish. (8) Your heavens that is over your head will be bronze, and the arth that is under your you will be iron. (9) The Lord will change the rain of your land to power and dust, from the heaven it ill come down on you until you are destroyed. (10) Your enemies will you defeated in all things, you will be striked with boils, tumors with scabs, with itches wich will not be heal, with madness(mentaland emotoinal illnesses), with blindness and confused hearts; You will grope and will not prosper in nothing you do; your wife will leave you for another man; you will lose your home; The Lord will strike you in your knees and legs with severe boils, etc.... (there is much more, read the chapter)... ALL these CURSES will come upon you and pursue and overtake you, until you are destroyed, because you DID NOT OBEY the voice of the Lord your God to keep His commandments and statues, and this will be a sign and wonder upon your descendants forever, because you DID NOT serve the Lord your God with joy and gladness of heart, for the abundance (blessings) of all things... There are some people who are experiencing some of the very curses right now, because they have refused to be obedient to God in their liefe styles, and have not taken their relationship serious with Him, and are wandering in the wilderness of their life year in and year out. Refusing to repent of their sins and get right with God through Jesus Christ, because God is not slack in fulfilling His word, and His word will not return back to Him void of no effect. Post Reply

Hilltop, no, you're not silly, many people confuse the old covenant with what Jesus did on the cross as the new covenat. Jesus fulfill the laws of WORKS Rituals and Ceremonies in the Old Testement, not the MORAL laws and the Precept, and Concepts of God, when it comes to obedience, these are not included, they still stand. The Blessings and Cursing of God for obedience are not covered when it comes to God's moral laws. This is not about obeying the ritual laws of work of the Old Testement, this is about obeying God's moral laws which have not been done away with. These are the reward of the Blessings and Cursing of Obedience and Consequences of Disobedience. We are still under obedience of the law of the Comandments through Christ. Many people think that we are not to obey God's laws of the old covenant because we are under the new covenant, but that's not true. The blessings of obedience of God's Moral laws have never changed, and the punishment for Disobedience remains. Post Reply

Hilltop View Profile History	The Rewards of Blessings and The Woes of Curses... Posted : 2 Mar, 2011 11:25 AM The Old Testament was physical. The Israelites reaped physical blesssings and cursings. In the New Covenant the reward is eternal life and the curse is eternal death. There is much more at stake in the New Covenant. True though, most of what was sin in the Old Testament is still sin today, like you say except rituals. A lie today is the same as a lie in Abrahams time. Post Reply
