TOPIC: YOU NEED DELIVERANCE?
Memorize: And it shall come to
pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder,
and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the
anointing. Isaiah 10:27
Read: Deuteronomy 28:25-48,
25 The Lord shall
cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way
against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all
the kingdoms of the earth.
26 And thy
carcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the
earth, and no man shall fray them away.
27 The Lord will
smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab,
and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed.
28 The Lord shall
smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart:
29 And thou
shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not
prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and
no man shall save thee.
30 Thou shalt
betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house,
and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not
gather the grapes thereof.
31 Thine ox
shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine ass
shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored
to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none
to rescue them.
32 Thy sons
and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall
look, and fail with longing for them all the day long; and there shall be no
might in thine hand.
33 The fruit
of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up;
and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway:
34 So that
thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
35 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.
36 The Lord shall
bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which
neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods,
wood and stone.
37 And thou
shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations
whither the Lord shall lead thee.
38 Thou shalt
carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in; for the
locust shall consume it.
39 Thou shalt
plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither drink of the wine, nor
gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them.
40 Thou shalt
have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint thyself
with the oil; for thine olive shall cast his fruit.
41 Thou shalt
beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into
captivity.
42 All thy
trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume.
43 The
stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt
come down very low.
44 He shall
lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou
shalt be the tail.
45 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:
46 And they
shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.
47 Because
thou servedst not the Lord thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness
of heart, for the abundance of all things;
48 Therefore
shalt thou serve thine enemies which the Lord shall send against thee, in
hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he
shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.
