Now over here to the 27th chapter of Deuteronomy, "Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people saying, Keep all the commandments which I command you this day and it'll be in a day when you pass over Jordan unto the land" and so forth and so on. Verse 9, "Moses and the priests and Levites spoken to all Israel saying, take heed and hearken Israel this day you are become the people of the Lord thy God". They always had been, but this day you're going to find out something about your covenant and your father Abraham. "Moses charged the people the same day, these shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people when you come over Jordan, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin. These shall stand on Mount Ebal to curse Reuben, Gad, Asher, Jebulun, Dan, and Nephtali".
Now let's look at these mountains and they're real mountains. There Shechem in the middle, Mount Ebal. See how alkaline that is over there on this side? Now over here you see trees and look over there, there's no buildings or anything. Over here there's buildings going up the side of that mountain. Of course you can't see the rest of it. Now think about this. There's a million people over here on this mountain and there's a million people over here on this mountain and they're shouting this back and forth. I'm telling you, it is shout and tell. You don't forget this. It is emblazoned into your thinking and into your mind. Amen. And the Levites shall speak, and say unto all the men of Israel with a loud voice, Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an abomination unto the Lord, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and putteth it in a secret place. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen.
Don't you know that valley was ringing with the sound of it? Well, you can continue to read and this is what was going on. "Cursed be he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger, fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen. Cursed be the... And it shall come to pass if you'll hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord, the God to observed and do all of his commandments, which I command thee this day. All these blessings will come on you and overtake you if you'll listen to God". Now, wait a minute. Let's come back over here. We're there. "But it shall come to pass if you will not hearken", if you will not "hear Ken", "unto the voice of the Lord, thy God, to observe, to do all his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day. All these curses shall come on you and overtake you".
Now, the problem with a whole lot of preachers, particularly Pentecostal preachers, preach out of this. 21, the Lord shall make the pestilent. Now, wait a minute. It says, no, it says they'll come on you and overtake you. The Lord is not picking you, or me, or anybody else and put some curse on us to teach us something. Not when Jesus has redeemed us from the curse. But the sad part of it is you ask lots of Christian people, come and say, "You, Christian believer..." "Oh yeah". "You love the Lord". "Oh yeah". "What are we redeemed from"? "Sin, I guess. Don't have a clue". Why? They're not heard it in church. And not taking the time. It says my people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge in Hosea. Read the book of Hosea. Not that verse. You know why it was a matter? The priest weren't preaching the knowledge. It was the pastor's fault. And the prophet saw it. My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge.
Well, they still are. And not know they're redeemed from the curse will destroy you. My God, I'm so sick. Oh Jesus, could you just come down and put your hand on my fever brow? I've never read the 10th chapter of Romans. Did you just go ahead and do it anyway? I know. I did it. But I was a spiritual baby. I didn't know any better. But I didn't stay a baby very long. Amen. Nobody has an excuse. And not with a Bible. Amen. Anyway, here we are. We are redeemed from the curse. Now you can read and you need to, you read all of these and you find out in the 61st verse, also every sickness and every plague, which is not written in this book of the law, them will the Lord bring upon you until you be destroyed. I don't care what it is. There it is. Whatever it is, we are redeemed from it.
Now you'll go through here and you find poverty. But now that we said it, let's go to the 30th chapter. This is the bottom line. Look at the 15th verse. See, "I have set before thee this day life and good, death and evil, and that I command thee this day to love the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways and keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that you may live and multiply and the Lord God shall bless thee in the land, whether you go to possess it. But if your heart turned away" and so forth and so on, look at the 19th verse. Now here it is. In red, we've been redeemed from it. But here it is in the first covenant. Here it is. "I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Therefore you choose..."
God made his choice and he put it all out there. He didn't hold back any. He put everything in there and anything that'll kill, steal or destroy. Or I said it wrong, steal, kill or destroy. He put it in a book so he can read it. And then you go to the apostle Paul and find out everything you need to know about it. Hallelujah. You may love... you choose it, that you may love the Lord thy God. Thou mayest obey his voice and thou mayest cleave unto him for he is your life and the length of your days that you may dwell in the land, which the Lord swore unto his fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and to Jacob, who became Israel. Is that clear or what? Yes, it is. Yes. Praise God forevermore. That is the healing God and he has provided healing in all of these years.
So now Exodus 23 verse 20. "Behold, I send an angel before thee to keep thee in the way, to bring thee into the place where I've prepared. Beware of him, obey his voice, provoke him not, for he will not pardon your transgressions for my name is in him. But if you shall indeed obey his voice and do all that I speak, then I'll be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries for my angel shall go before you". Verse 25, "And you shall serve the Lord your God and your angel", not God. Do you see it? Your angel will bless your bread and water. I will take sickness from the midst of you and the length of- and there shall nothing cast their young or be barren in your land. The number of days I will fulfill.
Now, wait a minute. This is so important. You shall not bow down... You shall serve the Lord, your God, your angel shall bless your bread and water. I will take sickness from your midst. None shall lose their young by miscarriage or be barren in your land. I will fulfill the number of your days. We have used that very verse concerning miscarriage. I won't go into the details of it, but in our family, he took sickness and disease in the midst of it.
That hit my heart some years ago. And living out there on the lake, our driveway, we leave the house and then there's the first gate, go through that gate, and then you go out to the highway. And I'd been meditating that and reading that and reading that and meditating it, meditating it, meditating it, meditating it, meditating it. And it got down in me and I stopped my car and I got out of my car and I said, "He has taken sickness from the midst of me and I'll never be sick another day in my life. I have divine health forevermore". Then I had my part to do about it. Those food laws were in there for a purpose and you need to do what you need to do about it. Those are for a reason.
Well, Brother Copeland, I like pork. Well, get you some turkey ham. Well, don't start that with me then. You got your Tums in your pocket? That's the thing of the past. It's a thing of the past. It wasn't always. And I would have these little white bumps around on me. It wasn't very long ago. I'd forgotten completely about that. And I got thinking, you know, there's none of those little white pimply bumps. They're just not there. Why? Because my body's not having to get rid of it. It didn't come easy. Well, if it's easy, everybody'd be doing it. This is easy. Thank You, Jesus. Thank You, Lord Jesus. Did you get anything out of this today? Oh, thank you, dear Lord. Thank you, dear Lord. Oh, thank you, God. Stand with me, please. And we're going to shout the prayer of faith. So just raise your hands and repeat after me boldly:
I have been made alive in Christ. He was raised from the dead. Do you remember what Philippians 3.10 says? Oh, to know him and in the power of his resurrection, say it. I know him in the power of his resurrection. He was raised from the dead. I was raised up with him. I am seated in heavenly places. I have received his resurrection life. Resurrection life is energizing my spirit, my soul, and my body. Resurrection life is working in my body right now. I'm getting stronger every day. My eyes are seeing clearly. My ears are hearing better. My mind is functioning stronger. My bones, my organs, my nerves, my ligaments, my joints, my heart, my lungs, my brain, my blood is being supercharged with the resurrection life of God. No disease can touch me. No sickness can enter my body. I'm crucified with Christ. Nevertheless, I live. Not I, but Christ lives in me.
The life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me. The same Spirit that defeated death, defeated hell, and the grave is in me now. The same Spirit that raised up Jesus from the dead is in me. Resurrection life is making alive my mortal flesh. Right now, today, this morning, the resurrection life of Jesus is made manifest in my body. Jesus is alive and so am I. I am healed from the top of my head to the soles of my feet. My back is healed. My legs are healed. I can do things I couldn't do. I can bend over and touch my toes. My legs are healed. My knees are healed. My thighs are healed. My hips are healed. My stomach is healed. My lungs are healed. My heart is healed. My liver is healed. My eardrums are healed. My sinuses are healed. My sinus cavities are clear. I will never have sinus again hereafter forever. It has been taken from the midst of me. I am healed. I am well.
I now live in divine health. I'm a well man. I'm a well woman. All is well with me. I have no fear because I walk in love. And perfected love, growing love has cast all fear out. Therefore, I have no fear. I walk in faith and not by sight. I am a new creature. God did not create any unworthy new creatures. I've been made the righteousness of God in him. I have him. I have his righteousness. I have his grace. I have his love. For I read in the scripture that the love of God has been shed forth in my heart by the Holy Ghost. The Spirit of love now lives within me. I am a believer. I'm not a doubter. I live a life of faith. I give glory to God because I stagger not at the promises of God. Therefore, I am healed and well.
I'm prosperous in all parts of my life. Spirit, soul, body, financially, socially, I'm a believer. I'm not a doubter. The glory of God has come down from on high and dwells in my heart. The glory himself, the Spirit of glory, and it was the glory of God, the scripture says, that raised up Jesus out of hell. Hallelujah. I don't have hell in me. I have heaven in me. For the scripture says, I have been raised up and I've been seated with him in heavenly places. My Lord and Savior sits at the Father's right hand and in heaven today, I'm at the right hand of my Savior. So I am heavenly-minded. I'm covenant-minded. I'm healing-minded. I'm health-minded. I'm forever minded because I live forever. I have already entered into eternal life when he entered into me. Amen. I live eternal life now, not after my body dies. I'm in it now.
