Episode Synopsis



The Authority and Protection of the Righteous
Have you ever wondered if the spiritual attacks you face are a sign that you've been cursed? In this encouraging message, Servant Marcia Carty tackles the critical question: Can the Righteous Be Cursed?

Looking at figures like Noah and Joseph, and then diving into the incredible account of King Balak trying to hire the prophet Balaam to curse Israel, Servant Marcia reveals the truth of the believer's security in Christ. The devil, principalities, and all the kingdom of darkness are angered by the righteous, but God's covenant with His people is an unbreakable shield.

Key takeaways from this teaching include:

-- Who the Righteous Are: They walk upright, work righteousness, speak truth, and are identified by their faith in Jesus Christ, not their works. -- The Paradox of Righteous Living: While you might expect an easy life, "many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers the righteous out of them all." (Psalm 34:19) -- Authority to Take Territory: As representatives of God, the righteous are legally authorized to resist the devil and take over territory that is not submitted to the Lord. -- The Unchangeable Blessing: The prophet Balaam discovered that he could not curse those whom God had blessed. There is no enchantment, divination, or strategy that can reverse God's declaration over the righteous. -- Our New Identity: Through faith, we are a "chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people," called to show forth the praises of Him who brought us into His marvelous light.
