Have you reached the point of saying “Enough!” to a particularly trying circumstance?
I think sometimes it takes reaching a point of where we’re no longer willing to tolerate a negative circumstance before we take faith-rooted action. You know, that “last straw” that makes us decide to firmly speak to that “mountain” (Mark 11:23) so that we begin to experience relief from its oppression. This oppression is part of the curse outlined in Deuteronomy 28:15-68. Yes, over 50 verses speak to the bad stuff that the enemy is waiting for an opportunity to introduce into your life.
Included are:
- confusion
- frustration
- sicknesses
- inflammation
- chronic illnesses
- poverty
- drought
- oppressed and robbed continually
- defeat in wars
- and sooo much more!
It’s a long litany of various curses found in those verses.
Thankfully, there’s a Holy BUT…
BUT (!), don’t be scared of these things. The good news is that there is a powerful antidote to every curse! Galatians 3:13 assures us that Jesus became cursed for us so that we could be redeemed from all the effects of the curse. He paid the price that set us free from every curse. Jesus bought us so that we can no longer be held captive to defeat, sickness, poverty, etc., when we use the authority He’s given us. What was the price? His life. And once we receive Him as Savior we’re officially released from that captivity and He blesses us by making us kings and priests with Him.
But here’s the deal— using the antidote means you’ve got to speak to that mountain! You’ve been given the authority to do it. So if you’ve never spoken to your “mountain” of infertility, miscarriage, chronic illness, poverty, hopelessness, etc., it’s time to get mad, and be resolute in addressing this mountain and consistently telling it, “Enough!”. Find scriptures that promise what you need. No matter what the doctors, lawyers, bosses, or other authority figures have said, understand what God has said about your situation. His Word is settled and true (Psalm 119:89; John 17:17)!
How to say “Enough”
So how can you say “Enough!” to your circumstances? By consistently saying to your circumstances what God has said in His Word about them.
The passage in Deuteronomy 28:61 gives us an overview of the curse regarding your health:
Also every sickness and every plague, which is not written in this book of the Law, will the Lord bring upon you until you are destroyed.
And that covers everything that tries to attack your body. But because Jesus has redeemed those that believe in Him, this verse also shows that He has redeemed you from every form of sickness.
Declare Enough is Enough!
Psalm 107:2 CSB encourages you to speak up, to say “Enough!” by saying that you are redeemed from the curse by the Lord God Almighty:
Let the redeemed of the LORD proclaim that He has redeemed them from the power of the foe.
So here’s an affirmation you can speak and believe daily as you confidently wait for the manifestation of your healing:
(Name of the condition), you are from the curse. BUT God’s Word says I am redeemed from the curse because Jesus became cursed on my behalf. I praise God that I am now and forever redeemed from this condition!
No matter how long you’ve dealt with it, the condition must bow to the name and finished work of Jesus!
Because He loves you, you can take God at His Word. So decide to use His Word as your way to say “Enough!”!
