The God of Reversals

Scripture:

Nehemiah 13:2 "because they had not met the children of Israel with bread and water, but hired Balaam against them to curse them. However, our God turned the curse into a blessing".

Observation:

Nehemiah is remembering the story of Balaam and makes a statement that is worth listening to. He says "However, our God turned the curse into a blessing". God is able to break and reverse any curse that has ever been spoken!

Application:

Sometimes people get so worried about curses operating in their lives that they can't focus on what God has for them. God is the curse breaker!!! No curse can stand when He is in control. He is able to take the worst curses and not only get rid of them, but turn them into blessings! I love it. God takes the bad things of our lives and uses them for the greatest good. He takes our junk and mess ups and uses them for His glory. There is nothing God cannot reverse. No problem is too difficult for Him. No mountain that cannot be moved. Jesus became a curse for us so that we could have the blessing of God on our lives. Don't allow the curses of the past to control your future. God can reverse them!

Prayer:

Lord teach us to live knowing that our God can turn around any situation and bring good results. Help us realize that "all things work together for good to him who loves the Lord". Help us not to live under curses that have already been reversed on the cross of Calvary. Teach me to live above and not beneath. I want to walk in the victory I know was purchased for me. God of reversals, You are AWESOME!
