    Freedom From Disease & Poverty

    by Dr. Larry Ollison

    Galatians 3:13 says, "Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law." But what
    does it mean to be redeemed from the curse of the law?

    By the death and resurrection of Jesus, He paid the price for you and for me. He
    became the sacrifice for our sins. He died so that we could live. He bore our
    sicknesses so we could have health. He redeemed us from the curse of the law of
    sin and death.

    The law as described in the New Testament is usually considered to be the


    Pentateuch, or more clearly the first five books of the Bible. In these first five books --
    Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy -- the curse or punishment
    for breaking God's law is broken down into three basic categories.

    1) The curse of spiritual death

    2) The curse of sickness and disease

    3) The curse of poverty

    In Deuteronomy 28:15, the Bible tells us about these curses, saying, "It shall come
    to pass, if you do not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all
    His commandments and His statutes which I command you today, that all these
    curses will come upon you."

    Then it lists curses all the way to verse 60 -- forty-five verses of sicknesses and
    financial disasters that would happen if the law was not kept. In verse 61, the list
    concludes by saying that not only would these things that were listed happen, but
    any sickness, disease, or catastrophe that was not listed would happen also.

    In other words, not keeping the law was disastrous. But even worse, it was nearly
    impossible to keep the law. So, poverty, sickness, and spiritual death were virtually
    assured.

    But today, I have good news. When it seemed like there was no hope, God made a
    way. And that's just like God. He always makes a way of escape for those who seek
    Him.

    Jesus became our Redeemer. He made a way of escape from poverty, sickness, and
    spiritual death. However, some Christians do not understand that we have been
    redeemed from the curse of the law. They accept sickness and poverty as part of the
    Christian lifestyle. This should not be. We have been set free from the curse of the
    law. We need to start acting like it.

    When you take a coupon to the grocery store, you use it instead of using money. In
    other words, you redeem the coupon. It takes the place of your money. Your money
    becomes redeemed because the coupon was the redeemer. Well, that's what Jesus
    did.
    We had a debt. That debt was the curse of the law. But the problem was that we
    could not pay the debt. It required a perfect sacrifice. It required a sacrifice that was
    pure before God. We were not pure. Our debt was impossible to pay.

    But then Jesus came to earth as a man and died in our place. He took stripes on His
    body for our sicknesses. He redeemed us. He paid the debt we could not pay.

    When we become a Christian, we have health and prosperity available. We don't


    have to be diseased and in poverty. Jesus redeemed us from the curse of the law.
