Sickness Is Part of the Curse of the Law from Which Christ Has Redeemed Us
77
What if you feel badly about it, you’re tired of fooling with it, and you’re just annoyed with the
whole deal? That’s when you need it so much more. That’s when you better make yourself do
your duty, right? Get yourself by the ear and get back in the Book. Get back in the Word. Play
those tapes, play those CD’s, play those DVD’s, read your Bible, and just praise God and praise
God. Refuse to talk about the problem. Refuse to talk about all those people who said this didn’t
work and that didn’t work. You have to be single-minded and get your eyes single.
If the Lord stirred up a word like this for you, then you ought to jump on it with both feet and
both hands, and just run around saying, “I’m redeemed! I’m redeemed from tumors. I’m
redeemed from cancer. I’m redeemed from genetic problems. I’m redeemed from long, drawn-
out stuff. Christ has already redeemed me. He did it. I’m redeemed from the curse of the Law.”
What else is listed? Verse 60 includes, “…all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of.”
If it’s a disease you fear, it’s covered. You can go back and study Egypt and its problems. This is
a nation with a big history. Every disease that anyone ever had in Egypt, in all of their
civilization, that anyone was ever afraid of, was part of this. You’re redeemed from it. You could
write books and books on it. What about any other disease in any other civilization, or what
about new diseases people come up with? What if someone creates a disease?
I’m glad you asked, because in the next verse, it says, “Also every sickness, and every plague,
which is not written in the book of this law….” God is smart. Every kind of sickness and disease
that’s
not
recorded is included. How many would that cover? If it’s a disease that you’ve never
seen in the Bible, that’s it. If you have never heard anyone talk about it in any scripture, that’s it.
Any kind of disease or calamity
not
mentioned in the Bible, all the sicknesses and plagues of
which the Word makes no mention, are covered right here. Glory to God. Every sickness, every
disease—known or unknown, mentioned or not mentioned—is a part of the curse of the Law,
according to Deuteronomy 28:61. The good news is that according to Galatians 3:13, Christ has
redeemed us from all the curse of the Law.
We’re sure it’s God’s will for all of us to be healed today because sickness and every kind of
sickness is part of the curse from which Christ has redeemed us. So how could it be His will for
us to have it, when He went to such great lengths and hung on the Cross and became accursed to
set us free from it? It couldn’t be His will for us to have it.
