Blessings and Curses

Deuteronomy chapter 28 talks about what things God considers "blessings" and what things He considers "curses". 
Included in the blessing are things like abundant prosperity, provision, and protection.  Included in the curses are things like poverty, lack, and disease.
Wow, never once does God say that a sickness is a blessing or that He will give us poverty to teach us something.
If sickness and poverty were given to us by God to teach us things wouldn't most of the world be wise by now?
In Galatians it says the Christ has redeemed us from the curse by being made a curse for us so that the blessings of Abraham may come upon us!
This shows us what God's perfect will is.  It is so important to know what God's perfect will is in order for our prayers to be heard and answered and for us to have victory in our lives.
The garden of Eden is the picture of God's perfect will for man!  Man messed it up by sinning and brought the curse upon himself but God fixed it by sending Jesus to redeem us from this curse!  Hallelujah!
Just because something is God's will doesn't mean we will automatically walk in it.  Do good Christian people get sick and suffer poverty and lack?  Yes, it happens all the time because of bad decisions or simply lack of knowledge.  It's not about placing blame... it's about learning the truth and learning to walk in it!
I am so glad God is revealing these things to me so I can begin to walk in them and receive all the BLESSING that He has intended for me!
A side note, yes God can bring good out of sickness or lack.  He can and will take what the devil meant for his good and turn it around for our good!  He is so good like that!  But the point is, He doesn't give us sickness or tragedy to teach us things!  It hurts Him so when we blame Him for things like that.
God came to give us life and life more abundantly!  Every good and perfect gift comes down from the Father of Light!
Learning God's perfect will is the starting point to receiving and walking in all that He has for us!  Ask Him to reveal it to you, ask Him to show you truth!  Ask and you shall receive!
