Does grace take us lower?My wife and I for the last few years have been believing God to be debt free. We finally are clear of all debt. However, recently we opened up a CD. It was from the bank of India. Could this be what it means to lend to many nations. Granted it is just one at this time...but one more than before.Don't get me wrong, prospering is more than money...but spiritual and health.....why such an aversion to money? Also, there are other areas in my life that need prospering that really only God can correct.But, does grace take us lower? Leave TBN, preachers, COG or anyone else out of this....Just Deut 28

In the sense that it applied to breaking the Law of Moses, no it does not apply to the church. We are redeemed from the curse of the Law

Casey, on the right track, but here's all you need to know:

(2 Corinthians 1:20

I recently preached on this. Maybe it will be of blessing to you.(Psalms 1:1 KJV) Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.(Psalms 1:2 KJV) But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.(Psalms 1:3 KJV) And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.While Deuteronomy 28is wonderful, it speaks of a future event. But in Psalm 1:1, it doesn't say Blessed SHALL be the man, but Blessed IS the man....If we ever get that truth in our spirit--that we aren't waiting to be blessed, WE ARE BLESSED--I think it does something for us.In hard times, I'm still BLESSED!Low on money? I'm still BLESSED!Struggling on my job? I'm still BLESSED.Blessing is not dependent on our circumstances, but on God! If God says we're blessed, WE ARE BLESSED. And He said right there in Psalm 1:1!The weather of life varies almost day to day. But the blessing of the Lord can last forever. We aren't blessed because we FEEL blessed; we are blessed because God SAID we are blessed!The same with His presence. He's not in our midst because I can feel His presence. He's in our midst because He SAID He would be.

Those last two comments are right to my heart, THANK you so much. They are also spot on. I am in the process of giving my sons half of their inheritance in the next few months. I have battled in my soul, and discussed with my wife along with prayers. I want to see them enjoy some of the inheritance.I have a fresh direction tonight Thanks my friend, God is good! That is good preaching also!

We have the blessings promised to Abraham.Yes the promises listed in Deut are ours, but the curses are not.Even if we did not have the promises listed in Deut we have enough in the NT. In fact I was reading some of those this morning Recorded Sermons @ www.pastorwiley.com
