Podcasts about blessings and curses

How should we respond to the God who died for us that we might live with him? I. Don't refuse him because He is speaking to you in his Son, v25. II. Be grateful because you are receiving an enduring kingdom, vv26-28. III. Be reverent in your worship and service because our God is a consuming fire, vv28-29.

This message is about the great reversal found in Luke 6:20–26, where Jesus declares blessings not on the wealthy and comfortable, but on the poor, the hungry, and the persecuted. In a world that chases status and success, Jesus flips the script: true blessing is found in dependence on God, not in material abundance. Those who weep and hunger now, who are hated for His name, will find joy, satisfaction, and reward in God's eternal kingdom.But Jesus doesn't stop with blessings—He gives a sobering warning. Woe to those who laugh now, who are full and praised by all, for they've already received their reward in full. It's not that success is evil, but when comfort leads to spiritual complacency, when laughter mocks righteousness, and when popularity replaces truth, the soul is in danger. We're called to trust not in our wealth, reputation, or comfort, but in Christ alone—who became poor, so that through Him, we might become eternally rich.

This conversation explores themes of faith, gratitude, and the resilience of the Black community, particularly in the context of Black History Month. The speaker emphasizes the importance of recognizing one's heritage, the power of obedience to God, and the consequences of disobedience. The role of Jesus as a redeemer is highlighted, along with a call to action for the community to embrace their identity and authority.

Sermon By: Sister Annette

Prepared - Part 2:  Blessings and Curses It’s common to be good to people who are good to us. But when people are mean and cruel it’s uncommon and extremely rare to be good, merciful and kind to them. When our response is “extremely good”, people notice. Extreme goodness is hard to do and requires dependence on God’s power. But when we’re willing to give a blessing instead of a curse—we make Jesus believable and desirable to others.

In an older teaching, Jacob talks about deliverance and curses.

The message is obedience and disobedience matters! You choose one or the other, and it affects your life - now, and your future and your eternity! As Joshua said, “Choose this day who you will serve!” Life with God is blessed and full. Life without God will end in disaster.

This podcast addresses the heart of God our Father towards his children. Blessings and curses both involve words. Blessings are words that bring about good to someone. Curses are the use of words to bring harm to someone. Scripture tells us: death and life are in the power of the tongue. And those who love it will eat its fruit. Nonetheless, the first time the word "curse" is used in Scripture God is doing the cursing and he is doing it for Adam's sake. After the Fall He says "cursed be the ground for your sake". Even God's curses bring blessing to His children. Notice God did not curse the Man; He cursed the ground for the sake of the Man. As God describes Himself as being Truth and Love. Existentially Truth itself and Love itself. His perspective is always to bring about good. After all, He is a good, good Father, absolutely good. Come listen to how our understanding of the Father's love for us helps us find our calling and destiny. If we truly know and trust His love for us, why would we be jealous of anyone else? The enemy of our soul never wants us to understand who we are; who He created us to be. Our enemy wants us to be jealous just like he was jealous when God created Adam in His image and likeness. Hopefully, listening to this podcast will raise questions in your mind and encourage you to think about how you perceive yourself. Are you so focused on what other people think or you that you do not consider what the Father thinks of you? After all He who knows you the best; loves you the most. Are you bold enough to ask the question: What does my Father think of me? I pray you will do so. Papa Tom

The second creation account and the accompanying story of the Fall are well known by many.  And the story sets up the rest of Scripture to tell of blessings and curses in so many ways.  It is an attempt to explain to people how we get to where we are.  Look around - see the blessings and the curses of today in your life, your community, and the world.  The sermon is based on Genesis 2:4b-7, 15-17; 3:1-8.

God's blessing had been given to people who time and time again chose to reject it. Later in the story, after Israel had been exiled from the promised land, God sent the true Israelite, the only one who could faithfully walk in God's blessing and truly unleash it for all people. Join us as we conclude our end-of-summer series as we see how Jesus is the ultimate blessing. Galatians 3:13 (ESV)Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”Matthew 3:15-17 (ESV)But Jesus answered him, “Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he consented. And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him; and behold, a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”

The human story begins with God blessing the first two humans, but something goes tragically wrong shortly after the initial blessing. The first two humans reject God's blessing for something they think will be better, but instead of greater blessings comes a curse, which has skewed the human experience ever since. Join us as we unpack why being a human can sometimes be so difficult.Genesis 3:1-24 (ESV)Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made.He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden'?” And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.'” But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths.And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?” And he said, “I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.” He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?” The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate.” Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”Romans 6:1-6 (ESV)What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.

The first time the word bless/blessed appears in the Bible is at the start of Genesis. This one tiny word has amazing and beautiful ramifications on what it means to be human and shows us how God continues to invite us to partner with him on his mission in the world. Genesis 1:26-31 (ESV)Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”So God created man in his own image,    in the image of God he created him;    male and female he created them.And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.Ephesians 2:8-10 (ESV)For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

Blessings And Curses by Father's House SA

Are your words building up or tearing down? Welcome to the Daily Devo. I am Vince Miller. We are in a new series on 1 Samuel, and we are currently in chapter one. The theme of chapter one is the six people who influenced Samuel's life: So far, we have identified Elkanah, Peninnah, Hannah, and today Eli, Israel's judge and priest. I am going to read verses 9-17, which pick up on this interaction between Hannah and Eli. After they had eaten and drunk in Shiloh, Hannah rose. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat beside the doorpost of the temple of the Lord. She was deeply distressed and prayed to the Lord and wept bitterly. And she vowed a vow and said, “O Lord of hosts, if you will indeed look on the affliction of your servant and remember me and not forget your servant, but will give to your servant a son, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall touch his head.” As she continued praying before the Lord, Eli observed her mouth. Hannah was speaking in her heart; only her lips moved, and her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli took her to be a drunken woman. And Eli said to her, “How long will you go on being drunk? Put your wine away from you.” But Hannah answered, “No, my lord, I am a woman troubled in spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I have been pouring out my soul before the Lord. Do not regard your servant as a worthless woman, for all along I have been speaking out of my great anxiety and vexation.” Then Eli answered, “Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant your petition that you have made to him.”  — 1 Samuel 1:9-17 Eli is an interesting character in Samuel's story. I really don't want to give too much away yet because you are going to get more to his story in the next four chapters, concluding with his tragic death, resulting from a fall from his chair. So, I want to hold off on giving you too much detail. But in this immediate text, we do catch a glimpse of Eli's character. We see that he is quick to make a judgment about a very humble and reverent woman. Who knows exactly why he does this, but he does, and I think this is a little interesting because he is supposed to be a judge. Most theologians consider him to be one of the final judges of Israel. Below is a sequential list of the judges of Israel if you want to see them: Othniel - 40 years (Judges 3:7-11) Ehud - 80 years (Judges 3:12-30) Shamgar - Time unspecified (Judges 3:31) Deborah and Barak - 40 years (Judges 4:1-5:31) Gideon - 40 years (Judges 6:1-8:35) Abimelech - 3 years (Judges 9:22) Tola - 23 years (Judges 10:1-2) Jair - 22 years (Judges 10:3-5) Jephthah - 6 years (Judges 10:6-12:7) Ibzan - 7 years (Judges 12:8-10) Elon - 10 years (Judges 12:11-12) Abdon - 8 years (Judges 12:13-15) Samson - 20 years (Judges 13:1-16:31) Eli - Not explicitly called a judge. Served as a high priest and judge during this time. Time unspecified (1 Samuel 1:9-4:18) Samuel - The final judge to transition Israel from judges to kings. Regardless, Eli's time marks the beginning of the end. As we will see, one of his failings was his lack of leadership as a father, which was a big black mark on his record as a priest and judge. Yet, we have to give him a little bit of credit because he does extend an important blessing to Hannah. This blessing would result in a son—Samuel. He would soon be conceived, born, raised, and ironically mentored by Eli, replacing him and ending the time of the judges. Isn't it interesting that the cursing and blessing come from the same mouth? My mouth has great power to speak amazing truths about Jesus that can lead people to Christ. At the same time, my mouth can speak sarcastic and hurtful things that wound other people. In addition, the older I get, the more I see the effect of my words. I was just telling my wife the other day that our three children speak the way they do to each other sometimes because of my biting sarcasm. And now, when I watch them do what I do, I don't like it because I know it can be taken too far and can wound others. At the same time, I am still humbled by how God uses my mouth to affect other people spiritually. There are testimonies I have heard time and time again from others about things I have said that have forever affected their lives. It's amazing that my mouth can have a powerful effect in both ways. It's sobering and humbling at the same time. But this is true with you, too. Just like it was for Eli. Do me a favor: Speak a blessing. Speak a blessing to your wife, children, friend, neighbor, or peer. And when you do say it with meaning. Look them in the eyes. Make sure you have their attention. Speak it clearly and see if God doesn't alter your impact. #BlessingAndCursing #PowerOfWords #SpeakLife ASK THIS: Reflecting on Eli's initial judgment of Hannah, how can we guard against making quick assumptions about others, especially in moments of distress or vulnerability? Considering the impact of our words, how can we intentionally use our speech to bless and uplift those around us, fostering a culture of encouragement and positivity in our relationships? DO THIS: Speak a blessing to someone today. PRAY THIS: Lord, help me to be mindful of the power of my words, that I may speak blessings and encouragement to others, reflecting Your love and grace in all I say and do. Grant me wisdom to use my speech to build up and inspire those around me, just as You bless and guide me each day. Amen. PLAY THIS: I Speak Jesus.

Moses, speaking on behalf of YHWH, vividly depicts the blessings that will overflow upon the Israelites if they faithfully adhere to the commandments, promising prosperity, abundance, and victory over their enemies. Conversely, he outlines the dire curses that will befall them should they turn away from God, describing a litany of calamities that will plague every aspect of their lives, from their health and livelihoods to their relationships and security.

Moses leads the Israelites in a solemn ceremony, instructing them to erect large stones upon entering the promised land and inscribe upon them the words of the law. As the people stand on the brink of their new home, Moses lays out a stark choice: blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience. This chapter serves as a poignant reminder of the gravity of the covenant between God and His people, emphasizing the importance of honoring His commandments and living in accordance with His will.
