“And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great, and thou shalt be a blessing.” “I will bless them that bless thee and curse him that curseth thee. And in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed,” (Genesis 12:2 – 3).

PRE-AMBLE by Robert

This article consists of 4000+ words and is hoped to ultimately change your perspective about your carnal walk, in respect to disease, sickness, infirmities and finally death. I pray you will read it to the end for all the blessings it contains. Again I pray, it is going to awaken you to the ongoing spiritual battle waged against humanity and the continuous effect being lived with and misunderstood by those walking carnally as well as some in the Spirit.

This awakening will show the subtle tactics Satan is using against mankind in the name of entertainment; which he is using as his doorway for greater evil to enter into the world.

As a Watchman I pray, this warning will bring you to recognize the importance of utilizing all the tools the Holy Spirit has brought into our lives: discernment, knowledge, understanding, open-mindedness, patience, and most of all deep faith connected to our free will. We will need to draw on these gifts to understand our spiritual foundation, whether it is rock or sand.

We are now placed in a position where all the internal analysis we did over the past years/months is now being challenged; it is our spiritual foundational rock.

I am now turning to Spiros Zodhiates Th.D (1922 – 2009) commentaries to lay an educational foundation to discern further what is being introduced. “This promise to Abram is one of the most significant passages in the Bible. It points ultimately to the redemption of the whole world. Abrams family became a divinely appointed channel through which blessings would come to all men. This promise was formalized in a covenant Gen. 15: 18 – 21) and was repeated four additional times: To Abraham (Gen.17:6-8; 22::16 -18); to Noah (Gen 9:17), to Isaac (Gen 26: 3 – 4); and to Jacob (Gen. 28: 13, – 14). The critical circumstances for the family in each case.

This promise is emphasized in the NT in Acts 3:35, Romans 4:13, Galatians 3: 8, 29, and Ephesians 2:12. Galatians calls it “the gospel.” It’s important to the Gentiles and stressed in Galatians as well as Ephesians where it is clearly stated that “Gentiles” who were “far off” and “strangers to the covenant of promise” have been brought to it by the blood of Yeshua.

Something we should be aware. When Abram took this step, he was motivated by faith in the promise of God and did not even know his ultimate destination  (Heb. 11:31; Gal. 3: 6 – 9). The Phrase ‘to go into the land of Canaan” in Gen. 11:31 is an infinitive of a result, not of purpose. 

OPENING PRAYER by Robert   

Lord, I place these appeals before your throne as pleas for your recognition. Bring to those about to partake in your feast a clear mind, open to the knowledge, they are not nor have been aware of. As they participate, Father, let their spirit find the sweet savour of your feast quenching their hunger for truth. Strengthen them, Lord, so they may go forward with your fervour to spread your gifts and light. So those trapped in darkness having strayed will be found and returned to your peace, love, grace, and loving hands. Bring them to know your blessings are with them. As well as your curses which still stand to this day. Loose discernment unto them Lord so they might know your righteousness and benefits as well, break and lift all curses which hold against them Father. We pray this in your name Yeshua, Amen, and Amen. 

OPENING STATEMENT by Robert

I am about to make a statement that I have made several times in the past and know many by ignoring it have opened themselves up to intense spiritual attacks. Remember, Satan uses our ignorance to truth against us very effectively in some right to death. Satan steals years from our very existence, and our time here to work out our Salvation.”  Please note: ” What is occurring to us in the flesh, has first either happened in the spirit or is currently happening in the spirit. “Nothing and I repeat nothing, occurs in the flesh first.” Once we recognize and accept this truth and connect our free will with faith, learn to say and accept, “NO” to disobedience, the most potent two-letter word, nothing can or will stand against us as a spiritual temptation. This action places us in the position of rendering faithful service to Yahewa the Father and His Son Yeshua (Jesus Christ). 

 In searching the Hebrew language, I found what God was promising Abraham, through defining what the words “bless” and “curse” actually means precisely in Hebrew? In Hebrew, the verb “to bless” is levarech (לברך). This is based on the root BRK ברך which means “knee,” implying rendering service to someone, by bending your knee to them. This is no simple benediction. God is not talking about saying nice words. The literal meaning of this verse is, “I will minister to those who show solidarity to you by serving you.” Understand the profound meaning of God’s words by searching the original Hebrew is revealed.

The opposite is true for those who curse Abraham. The first word for curse mekalelcha (מקללך) comes from a root meaning to make light of someone heavy. The second word for curse a’or (אאר) means “to utterly destroy.” So, the literal meaning is “the one who makes light of you I will utterly destroy.” God’s promise is made clear through a deeper understanding of the original Hebrew words.  

The importance of what I shared with you earlier now becomes more explicit, by understanding the real meaning within God’s promise to Abraham. We have been supplied with the most potent spiritual tool you can use in conjunction with the two-edged sword. You can begin cutting all the cords of evil, and the false teachings within your mind causing you to stumble in disobedience. This will allow you to clean up your prayer closet and temple. Whereby, having now gained greater knowledge and understanding it becomes a rationale why you fight your spiritual battles now and in the future to maintain obedience and receive God’s blessings. Remember Satan uses ignorance to influence our walk and commitment.

How does this apply to the article and what it means to you? Let me first ask this question; “Do you believe God’s curses still apply to those who are disobedient in His Eyes?” Your answer will reveal the meaning and the depth to which it applies in your life.

If you do, you will recognize curses (a’or (אאר) means “to utterly destroy”) are still functioning as spoken by God and are being fulfilled because of acts of disobedience. Fact, God identified disobedience, for us to know our position. I understand many will state, we do not suffer the sins of our forefathers, right, however, when we look further and into Jeremiah 11:7 For I earnestly protested unto your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even unto this day, rising early and protesting, saying, obey my voice. v.8 Yet they followed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did them not. 

We must look at the covenant of our Lord, “whose words never cease once spoken” and are always kept to full fruition when there is either obedience or disobedience towards the Father and His covenant. We learned earlier God, included us [Gentiles] into His covenant which applies to our walk today.

So when we look at sections of the covenant we find God in Leviticus 26:3 If we walk in obedience, He will bless us in many different ways. But in Leviticus 26: 14 God lays out the curse He will bring forward to those who are disobedient and seals His words about the covenant in v. 46. Remember the covenant was set before us to obey and in doing so, we will be blessed. If we are disobedient, then curses will follow. Note there are many different aspects to God’s curses which apply they can and do follow family heritage right to our times (to the tenth generation, rough calculation makes that approx. 850 years). God’s curses have only the boundaries He sets, and can only be lifted or removed by Him if there is a change by the individual.

God chose Abraham and singled him out from among his fellow-idolaters, that he might reserve a people for himself, among whom his true worship might be maintained till the coming of His Son, Yeshua. From henceforward Abraham and his seed are almost the only subjects of the history in the Bible. Abraham was tried whether he loved God better than all and whether he could willingly leave all to go with God. His kindred and his father’s house were a constant temptation to him, he could not continue among them without danger of being infected by them. Those who leave their sins, and turn to God, will be unspeakable gainers by the change. The command God gave to Abram, is much the same with the gospel call, for natural affection must give way to Divine grace. Sin and all the occasions of it must be forsaken; particularly lousy company.

We find Matthew Henry (1662 – 1774) describing those gifts to be obtained by obediently bowing your knee in service. “All God’s precepts are attended with promises to the obedient. 1. I will make of thee a great nation. When God took Abraham from his people, he promised to make him the head of other people. 2. I will bless thee. Obedient believers shall be sure to inherit the blessing. 3. I will make thy name great. The name of obedient believers shall certainly be made great. 4. Thou shalt be a blessing. Good men are the blessings of their country. 5. I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee. God will take care that none are losers, by any service done for his people. 6. In thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed. Yeshua is the great blessing of the world, the greatest that ever the world possessed. All the true blessedness the world is now, or ever shall be possessed of, is owing to Abraham and his posterity. Through them, we have a Bible, a Saviour, and a gospel. They are the stock on which the Assembly of God’s followers should be founded.“

I desire to bring this particular promise forward to study and analyze as it holds the answer to why God’s curses apply to humanity today. I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee. God will take care that none are losers, by any service done for his people. So now having the knowledge what is transpiring within this covenant. It becomes clear why and how the level of sickness is functioning within our societies today. When we take an in-depth look at and “curse him that curseth thee,“ the full impact of what we have just learned what God effectively means “the one who makes light of you I will utterly destroy.” And backs this up with the following “God will take care that none are losers, by any service done for his people.“

It becomes clear as humanity turns further from God’s covenant and deeper into defiance, His promise to curse them, is today being applied which is to “utterly destroy them.” Through their actions of disobedience as well by making light of God’s promise and those who are under His protection. The world cannot say they were not warned as we look within Genesis 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.

So here is the covenant God made with us through Noah and his family and the perpetual generations, which now we are a part of. So in Genesis 9:11,& 12 we find the contents of God’s covenant with Noah and Mankind perpetually.  9:11 And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. 9:12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between you and me and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: 

CLOSING STATEMENT by Robert

We know that what God puts into place through vows, promises, and covenants remain into eternity. Our opening statement established we are a part of the Covenants and Promises God made with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses, by adoption through Yeshua’s sacrifice. Thus, we must acknowledge we as the population of this world are under any curses which apply to disobedience to God’s covenants as that population. 

As I read and listen to the daily news and those commentating about our everyday world and the Society we live in the following is what I was shown by the Holy Spirit. This is a sounding of a Watchman’s Trumpet what you do with it is your choice. May you be wise in your spiritual discernment understanding and final decision. 

Rev 17:4.“And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with Gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication,” Romans 1:22 “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.”   

Those walking in the light of Yeshua will recognize and understand what those in their delusions are partaking of. The actions of those who have drunk from this cup will and are the purveyors of the abominations, and filthiness while denying God.

Our Lord, in disgust, will turn them over to a reprobate mind and will sear their conscience. At this point, the disobedience and defiance will be answered through the curses already set in place by God.  

Someone asked me what is happening to people? Have they gone mad? “Yes,” they have, look at the atrocities being enacted as laws. Recognize how callous a specific sector of society has become. In 2018 according to LifeNews and data compiled by Worldometers, it was reported approximately “42 million” abortions were performed in 2018, Worldwide, and in the US “1 million” and nobody cared. In 2017 Canada contributed approximately 110,000, as information for 2018 is not available yet, and this figure only shows Hospital assisted, as abortion clinics are not required to submit reports. Our research shows Canadian Law provides from conception to full-term abortions. 

In America, now in the state of New York, full-term abortions are legal. Throughout North, America sanctuary is being offered to criminals under the guise of compassion for illegal immigrants. My own Canadian City (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, on the pretext of Compassion and Political Correctness.) has become a Sanctuary City. The transference of different religions and cultural beliefs are being spread throughout the world. Human trafficking and sexual slavery are now prolific throughout the world. Peace is under attack and those charged with keeping it are being attacked and in some cases slain. The foundation of our spiritual beliefs is under attack (Anti-Semitism), our Assemblies and beliefs Yeshua (Jesus Christ) are under attack.

Remember the Lord said at the beginning of the end times people’s consciences would be seared. We are witnessing this very phenomenon as well as more profound evil being released into the world. With each level of corruption, the abominations and atrocities are becoming more violent and more disgusting identified in this article released in July 2019 https://romboughrobert.wordpress.com/2019/07/11/lancing-a-boil/.
We are witnessing the proliferation of evil being promoted as casual entertainment.

I was shown the same atrocities were being committed before the Great flood, Genesis 6:5 “And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.”

“Corrupt before God, that is, in the matters of God’s worship, either they had other gods before him by images, or they were corrupt and wicked in despite and contempt of God, daring him and defying him to his face.”

Matthew Henry (1662 – 1774) quotes “Those that have so much power over others as to be able to oppress them seldom have so much power over themselves as not to oppress.”

The question what are the curses? How far-reaching in a family will the curses operate? Each curse has it’s own application and term. I am going to display some of the curses in Deuteronomy 28: as examples of what today still stands against those who seek other gods, defy and mock God’s covenants and break His commandments.

In v.19: Cursed shall thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out. 

In v20: The Lord shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, until thou perish quickly, because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me. 

In v30: thous shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her. Thou shalt build a house, and thou shalt not dwell therein thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof.

In v35: The Lord shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head. 

In v45: Moreover, all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed. Because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee. 

In v46: And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever. 

These are just randomly chosen examples of what is operating against modern day society there are plenty more too numerous to publish. For those searching out a reason for the various forms of illnesses which are striking their loved ones young and old know this, research in your family’s history may reveal to you pertinent information. The information you can as obedient believers and servants place in prayer before the throne of God for His intercession. This again brings forward the importance of knowing the depth of our walk with Yeshua. The following I pray will assist in determining the extent of your walk with him. 

“I witnessed in the last three minutes of a game, one error on the part of a player within a team which cost that team a win after playing 57 minutes while having earned the lead.”

As an athlete, it was drilled into to me the intensity I practiced at was the intensity, I would display when performing, as the athlete in the game I practiced for. What does this have to do with following the teachings of our Lord being received from the Holy Spirit? 

When you breakdown the saying there are a number of things happening while practicing. First would be, “my skill set and ability to deliver that attribute consistently.” I would not have to think about it, just perform as it would become a natural part of my skill set. “Next, I would be strengthening my physical abilities as continuous activity builds strength.” “Finally, my mental skills would be sharpened. Allowing me to continue developing, practicing and adding new capabilities. As well as incorporating new ways of performing those skills without letting my teammates down by making either a mental or Physical mistake.”

Here is how I see this fitting into our spiritual walk. “As humans, we are vulnerable to Satan and his temptations. The way in which Satan spoils souls is by beguiling them. He deceives you, and by this means takes you out of the action by slaying you spiritually.” You see, he could not ruin us if he did not cheat us and he could not deceive us but by our own fault and one simple mistake. Romans 16:18 “For they that are such serve not our Lord Yeshua (Jesus Christ), but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.” 

“The great concern for those who are following Yeshua should be to walk in Him. To make their practices conformable to their principles and their conversation agreeable to their engagements. As we have received Yeshua, or consented to be his, so must we walk with him in our daily course. Keeping up our communion with Him.” Like the athlete, it is being instilled through the Holy Spirit, as a disciple, the intensity, I learn and practice at, will be the intensity, I will demonstrate when performing, as a believer, while in the Den of Wolves. 

Here are a few items we should be intensely practicing, while learning how to walk closer to Yeshua. “By being closer, we are more firmly rooted and established in our faith.” “To build on our faith, we should practice good conversations to develop our faith.” “To be rooted in Yeshua, we need to practice walking with him always. Which will firmly anchor us in him and draw us closer to Yeshua?” 

So here is the bottom line on this. “We cannot be built up In Yeshua unless we are first rooted in him. We must be united by a lively faith, and heartily consent to his covenant, then we shall grow up in him in all things.” “The saying is you are  and become what you practice to be.”

As believers like an athlete, it must be drilled into us at what intensity we must practice our worshipping. Because this intensity is what will be displayed when witnessing as that believer when giving our testimony about Yeshua and Eternity. As well it reflects the depth of our faith and relationship to our, Lord when we bow before His throne through prayer placing petitions.

I personally, won’t be active for 57 minutes in a 60-minute game and make a simple mistake allowing Satan to beguile me as I will have intensely practiced. So when I pray or give testimony as a witness of God’s greatness, it will always be an intense part of my conversation or writings. This is a definition of having my Two-Edged Sword sharpened to a keen edge ready for Spiritual Battles at all times. 

Know this, good knowledge of our Lord is a good influence upon our establishment in faith, as we have been taught. To have the comfort of God’s grace comes with much-giving thanks for it and be sensible of the mercy of all privileges and attainments.  

May you be blessed and like a tree planted by the rivers of water, bring forth your fruit in your season. Psalms 1:3. 

God be with you all as you practice drawing closer. 

Final word, those walking carnally will believe their doctors and scientists and spend their entire lives searching for the answer to why certain diseases hit their families. Some who are walking with Yeshua having one foot in the world and one with Yeshua. Their disobedience will have Satan beguiling and spiritually murdering them. He will steal family, time, and the knowledge needed to break free from his bondage. Bottom line he eventually steals, your soul. 

CLOSING PRAYER by Robert

Father in heaven, hear my pleas for those trapped in Satan’s delusion and lies. I pray Lord you will through your Modern Day Disciples, Spiritual Warriors, Fisher’s of Men and Beacons on the Hills. In these darkening times fill them with your discernment, courage, knowledge and deep faith to stand against all forms of evil to bring that one soul before your throne. In your greatness, we petition for your intervention on behalf of those being removed from disobedience that all curses be lifted and removed from them. This we pray in your name Yeshua, Amen and, Amen. 

Remember these articles are from a humble servant doing God’s work as a Watchman. Blessings to all. May your walks be steady blessed and lead to Yeshua waiting at the door when the time is right.

Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If any man hears my voice and opens the door, I will come into him and will sup with him and he with me.
