Key Discussion Points & Insights
1. More Than Conquerors (01:00)
- Keith opens by affirming that believers are not just conquerors but more than conquerors through Christ.

- “Not only do you win, you go everywhere and tell everybody that the devil could not do it. He could not take you out.” (01:42)
2. God’s Will: Abundant Provision (03:10)
- The ongoing series presents "30 reasons" from scripture demonstrating that abundant provision is always God’s will for all His people.
- Settling God’s will is foundational to faith; you cannot have faith in an area until you are sure of God’s will.
- Keith leads the audience to declare: “Abundant provision is always God’s will for me.” (03:51)
3. Redeemed from the Curse (Galatians 3:13-14) (05:00)
- Galatians 3:13: "Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law..."
- The importance of knowing what we've been redeemed from, and that the blessing of Abraham is now for us under the new covenant.
- Notable Statement:
- “If you haven’t heard about the blessing, you haven’t heard the Gospel.” (06:45)
4. Blessing vs. Curse in Deuteronomy 28 (07:20)
- Verses 1–14: Outlines blessings for obedience—blessed in the city, field, body, work, coming in, going out, etc.
- Quote: “Are we reading the will of God? If the Bible calls it a blessing, don’t question it... it is the will of God that’s revealed.” (09:30)
- Verses 15 onwards: Details curses for disobedience—lack, oppression, loss, frustration, poverty, etc.
- The curse is as real as the blessing and to refuse to believe it makes one more vulnerable.
5. Not Prospering is a Curse, Not God’s Will (12:40)
- Deuteronomy 28:29: “You will not prosper in your ways” – clearly described as a curse, not God’s will.
- Keith emphasizes: “It cannot be the will of God not to prosper. Right? Cannot be.” (13:04)
6. Specifics of Material Curse (14:10)
- Cursed conditions include: loss of family, fruitless labor, theft, destruction of property, defeat, and constant lack.
- Key distinction: If scripture calls it a curse, it “could never be the will of God for me, or for any child of God listening to God.” (16:36)
7. The Cause of the Curse (18:15)
- Proverbs: "The curse causeless shall not come."
- Deuteronomy 28:15: The curse results from refusing to listen to God, obey Him, or serve Him with gladness.
8. What the Blessing Looks Like (21:00)
- The blessing means increase, protection, favor, and abundance at every level—24/7.
- This includes everyday life: “You lay your head on the pillow at night and what’s there? The blessing is. Right?” (09:55)
- Even small, daily things are blessed – “You pour milk on your corn flakes and they are blessed.” (10:15)
9. Don't Hide God's Blessing – Rejoice and Testify (28:30)
- Deuteronomy 28:47-48: One reason the curse comes is not serving the Lord with joyfulness and gladness for the abundance of all things.
- Many believers hide their increase out of fear or shame; instead, we should rejoice, give glory, and visibly enjoy God’s blessings.
- Illustrative Story: Keith shares how he and his wife, Phyllis, publicly celebrate God’s big blessings: “When we get a big blessing, we put it on the big screen… say, hey, look. Look what we got.” (32:12)
10. Tithing & Rejoicing in God’s Goodness (35:20)
- Deuteronomy 26: Tithing is not just about giving, but rejoicing in every good thing the Lord has given.
- It is a witness to others that it is God who has given increase and blessing.
- Instruction to listeners: “Don’t hide it. The blessing of the Lord, it makes rich… do not hide it. Don’t act like it didn’t happen. Part of your witness is enjoying it and serving him with joy and being glad and telling everybody he did it.” (36:04)
11. Poverty as a Curse—Not God’s Will (39:11)
- “Want of all things is a curse. Could never be the will or plan of God for your life, some kind of blessing in disguise. Could never be, could never be.” (40:00)
- Sacrifice for God’s purposes is different from the curse of poverty.
- God’s promise is restoration and provision: “If you will sow a seed... God will bring you up and bring you out and restore whatever was lost.” (41:12)
12. Final Declaration and Blessing (44:00)
- Keith leads the class to declare: “I will rejoice in the goodness of my God. I will be glad and I will announce and rejoice and glory in every good thing from my good God.” (44:41)
- Final prayer and blessing for listeners and ministry partners, concluding: “The poverty doesn’t glorify you, but being delivered out of it and the abundance glorifies you.” (47:19)
