4. Covenant and Redemption from the Curse

Conclusion & Takeaway
Brother Moore’s message is clear: Abundance, prosperity, and every kind of provision are God’s will for every believer—not as a matter of greed, but as a function of covenant relationship and kingdom purpose. The curse—including lack, sickness, and loss—was never God’s will, and Christ’s work on the cross fully redeems us from it. Believers are encouraged to renew their minds, dwell on the Word, and boldly confess:
“I’m redeemed from the curse of the law. I’m blessed with the blessing of Abraham.”
