Clarifies: the blessings are for the obedient and faithful, while the curse applies to the rebellious—not something God desires for His children.

"Even if you believed that God is personally doing bad things, all you have to do is listen and obey and it doesn't apply to you." (12:15)

"God is not willing that any should perish." (13:40)
4. God’s Will: Everyone Saved, None Destroyed

-
Delves into Ezekiel 18 and 2 Peter, proving biblically that God does not desire destruction for anyone, but rather calls for repentance.

5. Judgment, Free Will, and the Heart of God

-
In Lamentations 3:32:
"For he does not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men, not willingly. This is the Almighty..." (24:40)
-
Asserts God is the righteous judge but passes judgment reluctantly, never with pleasure.
-
Illustrates with the parable of the vineyard (Isaiah 5) that destruction comes not by God’s hand but by removing His protection when people persistently reject Him.
"Without him preparing, protecting, providing, all of the enemy is just waiting ... to get in there and consume and devour and tread it down and destroy it. God is not the problem. It's the lack of God that's the problem." (26:00)
6. The Power and Safety in Repentance
Timestamps: 26:51–27:55

-
Contrasts those open to repentance—who are never lost causes—with those hardened against God, for whom judgment becomes necessary.

Summary Flow & Listener Takeaways
Brother Moore’s teaching this episode is direct and compassionate, reiterating consistently God’s loving nature and the believer’s responsibility and authority. He systematically dismantles the idea that suffering and lack are from God and instead points listeners to the reality of redemption and the necessity for active, faith-filled choice:
- You are redeemed from the curse. Lack, destruction, and death are never God’s plan for you.
- God’s blessing follows obedience and repentance; his judgment is reluctant, and His heart breaks for the lost.
- Faith requires intentional renewal of your mind and a readiness to repent—you have the power to choose life and blessing!
Listeners are left affirmed in their identity in Christ and urged to stay soft-hearted and responsive to God’s Spirit, fully assured of God’s desire for their provision and well-being.
