Date: September 16, 2025

Episode Overview

This episode of Faith School continues the extensive series “Faith for Provision,” with Brother Keith Moore unpacking scriptural foundations for why abundant provision is always God’s will. The central focus is Reason #18: Redeemed From the Curse. Brother Moore explains the difference between the blessing and the curse, the ongoing relevance of biblical law, and how living by God’s Spirit is essential for manifesting provision and avoiding lack. Drawing on passages from Psalm 23, Deuteronomy 28, and Galatians 3, Brother Moore encourages listeners to stand in faith for God’s provision based on the truth of redemption from the curse.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

Speaking Faith and Receiving Abundant Provision

• Opening Affirmation
  • Listeners are encouraged to declare faith-filled words right from the start, recognizing the importance of speaking the Word for building faith.
    • Quote – Keith Moore (00:27):

      "Go ahead. Right off the bat. Time is precious. And just release faith to say, yeah, I'm getting fed. I'm getting built up. Not because of me, because of what we're going to be talking about. The Word, his words build us up and feed us."

• Faith must be developed area by area
  • Just like muscles, faith in different areas of life (health, provision, etc.) must be exercised and fed individually (02:10).
    • Analogy of using one arm vs. both; faith can be strong in one area and weak in another.

The Scriptural Basis for Abundant Provision

• 30 Scriptural Reasons for Abundance
  • The series presents 30 scriptural reasons why believers should expect provision, moving beyond tradition to what the Bible teaches (03:18).
  • The declaration:
    • "Abundant provision is always God's will for me. Always." (04:22)
• Psalm 23 as Reason #1
  • "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want," is explained as God’s intent for continual provision—there is no room for poverty or lack with the Lord as shepherd (04:55).
    • Quote – Keith Moore (04:58):

      "Where's the room for poverty and lack if I just go day after day and month after month and year after year and don't want and don't lack? Where's the being poor? ... I'm fine with missing out on the poverty."

• Misunderstandings about Suffering and Lack
  • Keith distinguishes suffering for Christ (e.g., persecution) from suffering under the curse (poverty/lack). God may allow us to face persecution, but lack is never God’s will (07:50).
    • Quote – Keith Moore (08:01):

      "No, it's never God's will for you and I to suffer a curse. If you live godly, you will suffer some persecution, not might, will, right?"

Old vs. New Covenant—Relevance of the Law

• Review of Covenant Blessing (Reason #17) & Introduction to Reason #18
  • God’s covenants with Noah, Abraham, David, and Israel are foundational for understanding blessings and curses (09:50).
• Deuteronomy 28 Reviewed
  • Blessings are listed for obedience, curses for disobedience. The blessing and the curse are overarching spiritual forces still present in the world (12:46).
    • Quote – Keith Moore (14:05):

      "A big mistake that a lot of folks are making is treating the Old Testament like it's an old, out of date, irrelevant word. This is a giant mistake, and it's very disrespectful."

• The Law Isn’t Abolished—Its Purpose Is Fulfilled
  • The law remains true and right, but believers now fulfill the law by being led by the Spirit, not by checking off commandments (16:18).
    • Quote – Keith Moore (18:20):

      "I have the author of the book living inside me. ... He will show me how truth should be applied to each situation every day."

Walking in the Path of the Blessing

• How Believers Fulfill Covenant Today
  • The blessings promised in Deuteronomy 28 are accessed by faith, love, and being led by the Spirit (19:15).
  • Blessings are inclusive—"blessed in the city and in the field"; wherever you are, the blessing goes with you (20:32).
• The Meaning and Power of Blessing
  • Blessing is not a ritual; it is a real spiritual empowerment for provision, success, protection, and favor (22:08).
    • Quote – Keith Moore (22:15):

      "The blessing is for. The curse is against you. The blessing does things for you. It helps you succeed and complete. ... The curse hinders you, works against you, tries to stop you, slow you, hurt you, take from you."

• Confession: The Blessing is on Me
  • The class is led in a declaration reaffirming that God's blessing covers every part of life (23:12).

Conditionality in Deuteronomy—Grace and Works

• Obedience Still Matters
  • While salvation is a gift, experiencing the fullness of God’s blessings requires seeking and following His guidance (24:26).
    • Salvation is by grace alone, but “we are saved to do good works”—and obedient action brings blessing, not just belief.
• Missing Out on Blessing by Ignoring God’s Guidance
  • It is possible to forfeit blessings by refusing to listen, pray, or seek God’s will, even as a saved person (25:18).
    • Quote – Keith Moore (25:18):

      "It doesn't mean you're lost, but it means the enemy was able to rob you. I don't want that to happen. What I want to experience is these blessings coming on me and running over me and overtaking me."

The Blessing For Today—and the Call to Choose

• God’s Path for Every Believer
  • Each day, God has a selected path—following Him leads to brighter, fuller blessing; doing your own thing means missing out (26:09).
• Recap of Blessings
  • The abundance promised in Deuteronomy 28 leaves no room for lack: “He will make you the head and not the tail. Is there any broke anywhere in this the blessing of the Lord? It makes rich.” (27:08)
    • Quote – Keith Moore (27:08):

      "He shall bless all the work of your hand you will lend to many nations you won't borrow, he will make you the head and not the tail. Is there any broke anywhere in this the blessing of the Lord. It makes rich."

• Closing Confession & Teaser for Next Episode
