A DISTINCTION BETWEEN YOUR LEGAL & EXPERIENTIAL FREEDOM IN CHRIST
I have often heard believers & even preachers say, once you give your life to Christ, you are free from all GENERATIONAL patterns & curses.
They get this from 2 Corinthians 5:17 which says "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new"
I used to preach this vigorously both online & offline, in my early, down to my mid 20s.
I woke up to reality when I had cases of people coming to me with harsh circumstances of life, & by the eye of DISCERNMENT, I knew it wasn't their faults.
I realized their predicaments were as a result of a past PROGRAMMING from their ancestry
Another verse many misquote & misunderstand is Galatians 3:13 which 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 hangeth on a tree:"
Christ redeemed the Jews who lived under the law from the bondage, curses & condemnation that comes from disobeying the law.
...It was impossible for the Jews under the old covenant to obey the dictates of 613 laws by living a life of sinless perfection because the power to live a holy life (Grace through the Holy Spirit) wasn't given them.
The law was a snare to them, but Christ in the days of his flesh, lived a sinless life & finally on the cross, the power of sin & death through the law was nailed, thus setting all Jews free, when they believe in his salvation.
Now You Tade, an African, whose great grandfather was not at any point a Jew or a Hebrew, now claim Christ has redeemed you from the curse of the law of Moses. HOW?? You were never at any point in time a Jew, neither were your ancestors.
The Power of Christ via his resurrection only laid the foundation, the legal rights, the positional advantage for you to be delivered from the vile powers in your village.
...The altars, the legal claims, the covenants they've enacted by virtue of you being born in their bloodline can still find expression in your life if you fold your arms staying lazy in exercising your spirit, thinking all is settled
It's left to you to appropriate & apply the authority Christ has given you in His Name in the place of prayer.
..You do this by having REVELATION KNOWLEDGE & also by UNDERSTANDING your nature & IDENTITY in Christ.
As a believer, you are legally free from all the holds & claims of darkness, free [from sin nature, from death, sicknesses, diseases, slavery, addictions, poverty, calamities].
The blood of Christ has given you an edge over all powers whether in heaven, on earth or beneath the earth. All principalities & powers (Angels & demons) have all been placed beneath your feet.
....But if your spirit & mind haven't fully grasped all these victories you have been given in Christ, your life will still look as though you never received Zoe & the Power of Christ. You will still have a life synonymous to that of an unbeliever.
Every verse in scriptures which talks of your triumph over the enemy has to become light to you, They must be distilled, infused, digested & settled down in your spirit for you to experience total freedom & Liberty
..Until then, you will still be ridiculed & toyed round by forces of witchcraft & warlocks which has for long plagued your predecessors.
I would have given real life cases but the write up is getting longer. Stay blessed!!
