Faith School with Keith Moore — Week 153.3

Episode: Faith For Provision: Reason #18: Redeemed From The Curse - I (Wed)
Date: September 17, 2025

Overview

In this episode, Brother Keith Moore dives into the concept of “Faith for Provision” and introduces Reason #18 for believing that it is always God’s will to abundantly provide for His people: We are redeemed from the curse. Drawing deeply from scriptural covenant theology—particularly the blessing and curse revealed in Deuteronomy 28—Keith shows how, as believers, we are no longer under the curse because of Jesus’ redemptive work. This powerful truth is meant to enhance our understanding of blessing, break the expectation of lack, and infuse faith for abundant provision.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Establishing the Will of God for Abundant Provision

• Keith asserts repeatedly:
  • “Abundant provision is always God’s will for us all.” (03:07)
• Lack, inability to pay bills, or being unable to help others is not the norm for God’s people.
• 30 scripturally-based reasons are being covered in the series; today is reason #18.

2. The God of Covenant: Blessing and Relationship

• Covenant is central to understanding provision.
  • God has always related to people via covenant—including Noah, Abraham, and, in Christ, us.
  • The lesser in a covenant stands to gain the most; God, the greater, pledges Himself to us.
  • Notable Quote:

    “If you and I come to the Lord and say, ‘Lord, I’m in covenant with You, so everything I am and everything I have belongs to You too…’ That’s sweet… But when He turns around and says, ‘Yeah, and I’m in covenant with you—and everything I am and everything I have [is yours]…’ now that is big, big stuff.” (06:44)

• Jesus emphasized the Father’s willingness: “It’s my Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.”

3. Our Place in the Covenant—Seed of Abraham

• God’s promise to Abraham extends to his seed; ultimately, that seed is Christ and, through Christ, “you and I are now the seed of Abraham.” (12:55)
• Many have covenant privileges they don’t even know about.
• Illustrates with the woman bowed for 18 years (Luke 13):
  • Notable Quote:

    “She’s a daughter of Abraham. What does that mean? She has a covenant. She couldn’t straighten herself up. The doctors couldn’t fix her. But she’s already in covenant with someone who could.” (16:00-16:34)

• Encourages listeners: “I am in covenant with the Almighty God—the great Physician, the Creator, the great Protector, the great Provider.” (17:14)

4. Deuteronomy 28: The Blessing and the Curse

• God instructed Israel to declare both the blessing and the curse, making clear the consequences of keeping and breaking covenant.
• Even today, our relationship with God is based on a new and better covenant (“New Covenant”).

5. Christ Redeemed Us from the Curse

• We (humanity) repeatedly failed to keep covenant, leading to the curse—but God sent Jesus.
• Scriptural Foundation:
  • Galatians 3:7–14
    • Those of faith are children of Abraham and share in the covenant blessing.
    • The blessing covers every area: “blessed in the city, in the country, in your basket… everything you put your hand to.” (25:20)
    • “He said, I’m going to make you the head, not the tail. Above, not beneath. Can you hear any poverty anywhere in there? No.” (26:14)
• The curse and blessing are real and observable in daily life; one lifts, the other tears down.
• Notable Moment (on confusion between curse and blessing):

  “One of the most important things to get settled is that a blessing is a blessing. It will always be a blessing. It will never be a curse. …God is not into such perverse things. No, there is blessing and there is curse. What does God want you to have? Only blessing.” (28:30–29:40)

6. Living by Faith—Just Like Abraham

• Abraham was “before the law” and simply believed God, stepping into faith righteousness.
• Example: He believed God’s “impossible” words (descendants as stars); we too are to believe God’s promise, even if we don’t understand.
• Application:
  • When God calls you blessed, healed, righteous—agree, even if you can’t see “how.”

7. Redemption Explained

• Galatians 3:13–14: “Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law.”
• Redemption Defined: Like being a slave set free—purchased by another, given liberty.
  • “You and I were sold under sin, under bondage… a slave can’t buy themselves… But somebody else could… and give you your freedom. That’s redemption.” (36:00-36:34)
• Jesus became a curse for us so we could have the “blessing of Abraham.”
• Key Declaration:

  “Say it out: ‘Christ, the anointed One, has redeemed me.’” (38:46)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On the vastness of our covenant:

  “All that I have—whoa! …It really goes beyond our mind what this is, but suffice it to say …[if] your spirit begins to get a hold of this, it will just jump up and down—it will do leaps about the reality that I am in eternal covenant with the Almighty God… and now a joint heir with Jesus.” (09:55)

• On the lasting nature of blessing:

  “A blessing is a blessing—it will always be a blessing. It will never be a curse.” (28:30)

• On the gospel of redemption:

  “This is some of the best news you will ever hear in your life. …Because of what Jesus did, I don’t have to be cursed. Oh, hallelujah!” (34:24)

• Call to meditate and declare:

  “Every once in a while, when it crosses your mind, you just need to open up your mouth and say it again: I’m redeemed—I’m redeemed from the curse, and the blessing is mine.” (40:32)
