Blessed Above All People
Deuteronomy 7:12
Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep,
and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the
mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:
De 7:13 And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he
will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and
thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep,
in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee. De 7:14 Thou shalt be blessed above all
people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your
cattle. De 7:15 And the LORD will take
away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt,
which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all [them] that hate
thee.
What
causes confusion for a lot of people is that the Bible contains two major
covenants between God and His people: the old covenant, or testament, and the
new covenant, the new testament. They
are concerned that things that applied in the Old Testament, or covenant, may
not apply in the New Testament, or covenant.
The
problem is that approximately 90% of the Bible falls under the Old
Covenant. The four gospels with the
ministry of Jesus would all be considered old covenant. And the Old Testament, of course, was the Bible
of the early church.
Now
healing was a part of the Old Covenant.
And the New Covenant is supposed to be better than the old one. So, if healing which was part of the covenant
for 90% of the Bible is no longer in God’s program for us, what else has
changed? How much of the other 90%
doesn’t belong to us as well?
In our
book, The Importance of Healing, we show that healing is indeed something that
still belongs to us.
