Double Cure for the Double Curse

If you're reading this on Thursday, have a blessed Ascension Day!


Of the double cure for the double curse the Psalmist spake clearly, saying, "Bless the Lord O my soul, and forget not all His benefits. Who forgiveth all thine iniquities, and who healeth all thy diseases." Ps. 103:2,3. Notice the first two benefits David mentions are those of forgiveness and salvation, which is to overthrow the powers of sin, and divine healing for the body to overthrow sickness and disease.

The First Lie

The first lie the devil told the human family, the first seed of doubt he sowed in their hearts was that of doubting the veracity and absolute, unchangeable truth of God's Word. He has been engaged with the same task ever since.

Just in Time!

He speaks the word just in time! Jesus is never behind time. When the tumult is the worst, the pain the most severe, the cancer gripping the body, then the word comes, "Only believe." When everything seems as though it will fail, and is practically hopeless, the Word of God come to us, "Only believe."

A Place of Rest

There is a place of seclusion, a place of rest and faith in Jesus where there is nothing else like it. Jesus came to them on the water and they were terrified, but He said, "It is I; be not afraid." My brother, He is always there. He is there in the storm as well as in the peace; He is there in the adversity. When shall we know He is there? When we are "found in Him," not having our own work, our own plan, but resting in the omnipotent plan of God.

Curse Into Blessing

If there is a great trial and defeat in your life today, beloved, do not own it as defeat, but continue, by faith, to claim the victory through Him who is able to make you more than a conqueror. . .


Beloved, trust Him to turn the curse into a blessing for His glory.

Opportunities to Exercise Faith

"He delivereth, and rescueth, and worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth." Oh, shall we not learn the lesson that in all the hard places God brings us into, He is making opportunities for us to exercise such faith in Him as will bring about blessed results and greatly glorify His name?

It's Not the Miracles

People sometimes say to me, "Oh, if God had raised me up from my dying bed as He has you, I would never doubt again!" Yes, you would -- your heart would be mean enough to doubt Him the very next time unless He continually kept you by His grace. Our hearts are so hardened we remember not His miracles unless they are kept tender by the constant influx of His love. It is not the miracles that bind our faith, it is Jesus! He works a constant miracle to do it. Have I abundant faith? It was not because I was raised up from death, but because I have Jesus all the way along abiding in me to be my faith.
