Amen. Amen. Thank you Warren James So we are studying chapter 10 Christ Substitutionary suffering we began looking at this lesson on Tuesday. So Basically when we talk about Christ Substitutionary suffering with we're saying that he took our place He bore our sins. He took upon himself our grief. He carried our sorrows He was wounded for our transgression. He was bruised for our Inequities and he You know took on That though he paid the price for the consequences for our sin, which is that he tasted death for every man And so we see that on the cross when Jesus died. He took our place He did what we should have done He bore what we should have borne. He suffered for what we should have suffered and He paid for what we should have paid for our sins so the primary aspect of a Substitutionary sacrifice is that the one who is making the sacrifice, you know fully identifies With the one on whose behalf the sacrifice is made. So that is why we another reason why Jesus had to be fully Human was because he was going to take our place He was going to make the sacrifice for our sins He was taking upon himself the consequences for our sins, which is that so he was doing it on behalf of us Which means he had to you know identify In our place and that's why he you know, he had to be fully human in every sense we also Studied last class that he did this for us And we studied in detail a little bit in detail We looked at Isaiah chapter 53 verses 4 to 6 and then we also saw that you know, he did it out of Love and we ended last class by looking at Romans chapter 4 was 25. We basically Studied this was in detail where it says he was delivered up for our Because of our offenses and he was raised because of our Justifications so we looked at what it meant To say that Jesus was delivered up for our offenses and he was raised because of our Justification we'll move on Before we move on does anyone have any questions any doubts? Okay, I'll take the silence for a no and we'll move on to looking at Even more different aspects of what Christ substitution is suffering is all about Okay first Peter chapter 2 verse 24 Says that he bore our sins in his body. Okay, so can one of you please read first Peter chapter 2 verse 24, please himself bore our sins in his own body on the tree that we having died to sin Might leave a righteousness by whose stripes you were healed Amen. Thank you, Lucy. So here it says that he bore our sins in his own body Okay, which means that you know, he bore the misdeeds that we had done and he endured the consequences for our sins which we should have endured now he bore our sins is basically You know pointing back or reflecting back to him being the sin bearer The offering that was made by the sin bearer He was as a substitute in our place. He was bearing our sins So he was our sin bearer and if you remember that I Explained to you on the day of atonement the priest which would take two lamps One lamp was the sin offering and the other lamp was the sin bearer the sin offering was this Was the lamb that was sacrificed and the blood was sprinkled in the holy of holies in between the two cherubim's which was the seat of mercy and Also, we see that the other lamb where the the priest would lay his hands on that lamp It became the lamb that was a sin bearer It bore the sins of the entire Israelite race and that that lamp was sent out into the wilderness So here Jesus identifying again with You know the Old Testament sacrifice he was our sin bearer he bore our sins is basically talking about the The lamb that bore the sins of the entire Israelite race And also here we see that you know When he bore our sins he provided for our healing because we read here in this verse in first Peter chapter 2 was 24 Who stripes we were healed? Okay Now we need to Note in this verse. What is a result of Christ's Substitution suffering, you know It says here that we having died to sin might live for righteousness. Okay, so it's basically You know Peter Saying here that you know that we need to lay aside our sin and live a life of righteousness Which means he's saying that we no longer operate in our sinful nature because on the cross Jesus You know broke the power of sin he canceled the power of sin of Satan and of death Sin like Paul writes in Romans sin has no longer, you know authority and power over us we are dead to sin and You know so here it says that you know Since that we are dead to sin and sin has no longer Any power in us And when we are born again, we no longer operate in the old sinful nature because now we have The nature of Christ and that is why Paul says that we are a new creation Which means that you know when Christ has done all this on the cross You know Peter is writing and saying that we need to come to a place where we are laying aside our sin That we are no longer slaves to sin because we are dead to sin the power of sin over us is canceled is nullified and Hence we need to live a life of righteousness Because of what Christ has done on the cross that you know, he has made as in right standing with God his Christ righteousness has been imputed or been put into our account so to say So here it says that we having died to sin might live for righteousness Basically, Peter is reminding us that when Jesus died on the cross, you know, we are also dead to sin which means our life is Permanently changed by our new identification with Jesus on the cross and you know Paul the Apostle Paul very beautifully describes this in Romans chapter 6 where he speaks of this as our spiritual identification He says that and even in Colossians chapter 2 was Well, we talked about that having been buried with him in baptism in which you were also Were raised with him to your feet in the working of God who raised him from the dead so Paul Sorry, so Paul is basically talking about our spiritual identification he's basically saying that we spiritually Are new identification that well when we are born again Is that we spiritually identify with Christ, you know, not only that you know that We are already in Christ That we are in him We were but we also identify with his death that is his crucifixion. We identify with his burial We identify with his resurrection with his ascension and his Seating in the heavenly places and Paul says this is our new spiritual Identification he also writes about this in Colossians chapter 2 was 12 You know and first Corinthians chapter 1 was 30 and somebody read first Corinthians chapter 1 was 30 someone else can read first Corinthians chapter 6 was 17 and Someone else can read first Corinthians chapter 12 was 13, please Anyone can read first Corinthians chapter 1 was 30 First Corinthians is 130 but of him you are in Christ Jesus who became for us wisdom from God and righteousness and sanctification and redemption Amen. Thank you Sanjay. So it says we are in Christ Okay, he talks about our spiritual identification that we are already in Christ Let's read first Corinthians chapter 6 was 17. Please someone can read that But the person who is united to the Lord becomes one spirit with him Amen. So here. Thank you. Esther Clement. He says we are in him We are spiritually one with him. Okay, and first Corinthians chapter 12 was 13 First Corinthians chapter 12 was 30. Do all have gifts of healing? Sorry, it's sorry, Angeline. It's first Corinthians chapter 12 was 13 13 I'm sorry first Corinthians chapter 12 was 13 for by one spirit We all are baptized into one body where the Greek whether Jews or Greeks where the slaves of free and All have been made to drink into one spirit Amen. Thank you, Angeline mercy. So here we see that the Holy Spirit puts us in To Christ. So, you know, when we are born again, you know, God brought us into Christ we read this in first Corinthians chapter 1 was 30 and You know, when we are born again, we are in him You know spiritually one with him first Corinthians chapter 6 was 17 and In first Corinthians chapter 12 was 13. We read that the Holy Spirit put us in Christ So spiritually, you know, our identification is that we are already in Christ We are already in him, but you know Paul is writing very elaborately and mentioning in Romans chapter 6 that you know, we identify with Spiritually identify with Christ that is our new identity identity as spiritual identity or a spiritual Identification. So what is our spiritual identification that we identify with Christ that his resurrection his burial his resurrection? His ascension his seating. This is our spiritual identification and note, this is not physical Identification or physically happening, but this is our spiritual identification. So spiritually, how do how do we identify with Christ that though? How do we identify with Christ's crucifixion? You know when Christ died we died with him Which means the old sinful nature Which Paul mentions in Romans chapter 6 was 6. He says the old man was crucified with him Which means that we no longer have an old sinful nature inside us We are now partakers of the divine nature as we read in a second Peter chapter 1 was 4 and The power of sin over our lives has been broken and we are no longer slaves of Sin as we read in Romans chapter 6 was 14 so if you want to understand the doctrine of of justification of Sin and salvation can read Romans chapter 6 7 and 8 very powerful Chapters, okay, so here. How do we I spiritually identify with Christ crucifixion? Is that we no longer have our old sinful nature inside us now? We are partakers of the divine nature as we read in second Peter chapter 1 was 4 and The power of sin over our lives has been broken and we are no longer slaves of sin Romans chapter 6 was 14 if you notice These what I've just been sharing is not in your notes. So maybe you want to take down notes for yourself. It's fine So how do we identify with Christ? Burial, how do we spiritually identify in his burial is when Christ was buried? We were also buried this means that you know when a person dies and they're buried Basically separated from their old life. So we are separated from our own life the old has gone the new has come and we are a new creation and The old has no more claim over us or any part in us as we read in second Corinthians chapter 5 bus 17 so we are a new creature now and Even as a person dies and is buried they're separated from their own life The old life has no more claims over them So no one can come over their grave and say hey, you know your body you borrowed Ten lakhs for me. You have to give me back. You know, there's totally separated from their own life The old life has no more claim over Us or has any part in us? Okay, the next one is how do we identify spiritually with his resurrection? So we looked at how we spiritually identify with Christ's death his crucifixion With his burial now, how do we spiritually identify with his resurrection when Christ was resurrected? Which means we were also raised up with him. We read this for rights about this in Ephesians chapter 2 was 5 I'm just quoting these references. You can take time later on to read This means that, you know, we were bought or brought from death to life and the power of Satan And we were brought out of the power of Satan into the power of God as we read in Colossians chapter 1 was 13 And now we walk in a newness of life in in the God kind of life the zoe life eternal life That Jesus bought for us on the cross where he took the divine exchange He took upon himself our death so that we can experience Eternal life the fullness of life. And so how do we identify with his resurrection is that, you know We are brought out of death to eternal life We are brought out of the power of Satan from being slaves of Satan slave of death slave of sin And now we are into God we are children of God And now we walk in this new life in the kingdom of God and we have a new way of living And the power of darknesses have no hold over us amen Uh such powerful truths That paul presents in uh roman chapter 6 and of course he meant talks about this in in his other episodes as well So we looked at how we identify spiritually with christ's death his crucifixion his burial His resurrection now. How do we identify spiritually with his? ascension When christ ascended we also ascended with him. How do we know this? We read this in Ephesians chapter Two were six and Colossians chapter three versus one to three So what does it mean that you know when christ ascended we also ascended with him? It means that now we set our affections on things above because now we are ascended with christ With him above so we don't set our affections As we used to in our you know in our past simple life And we were living in sin in the bondage of sin When our affections were for the things of the world the lust of the eyes and lust of flesh the pride of life But now we set our affections on things above And also we live with a renewed mind So what is a renewed mind a renewed mind is basically thinking the thoughts of god and taking on the ways of god because God said my ways are not your ways and my thoughts are not your thoughts So basically when we talk about a renewed mind, we are talking about Taking on the thoughts of god and taking on the ways of God, okay, so we live with a renewed mind and We look at everything from heavens perspective because we have ascended to heaven. We basically now we're no longer Earthly citizens our citizenship is in heaven We are sons and daughters of God We have a heavenly citizen a heavenly passport so to say So we look at life from heavens perspective Which means, you know when even though we are living here on earth we We look at earthly things more with a heavenly perspective We look at our identity as who we are in Christ what Christ has done for us We look at sin sickness pain suffering with a heavenly perspective With what Christ has finished for us on the cross and what he has done and we walk in that so we We have to walk or live with a renewed mind and look at everything from a very heavenly perspective of how Christ would look at it how god would look at it. We need to look at it and Our life is now hidden in Christ Jesus We have his spiritual covering we have You know his protection over us and we are inheritors of Christ's blessing our inheritance is in Christ and we are You know sons and daughters of the kingdom of God and he has given us the keys of authority And then the last one is we identify in his seating So how do we identify with Christ being seated at the right hand of God? Basically when we talk about the right hand, it basically is talking of a place of authority a place where You know of power So when Christ was seated on the throne of the right hand of the father We also spiritually identify with him when we are born again Now we are seated at the right hand of God as we read in Ephesians chapter two was six Again Ephesians chapter two is a very powerful chapter it basically talks about our spiritual Inheritance our spiritual blessings. So a good chapter to Read meditate and to just you know make that part of your You know the very core of your fiber of your being Because that is what we have inherited our spiritual inheritance our spiritual blessing And it says that you know, we are seated with Christ in authority And we are in a place of authority and dominion in Christ Jesus And which means we are in authority over every power of satan over every demonic host And all the power of satan and all the demonic hosts are underneath our feet amen So this is our spiritual identification which Paul very beautifully You know brings To our notice of course with the inspiration of the holy spirit He's talking about our spiritual identification Which she talks about in the book of Colossians Ephesians as well And in Romans chapter six Any questions on our spiritual identification any doubts Anything you want me to clarify or repeat Or explain again Just if you can explain a little bit on looking at things in our life in a heavenly perspective Across our various realms in our life. So once we have that perspective, I'm sure How we look at things changes. So can you can you throw some light on that? Sure So for example, you know, maybe when in the past we've had a lot of failures You know, we've not achieved things We we feel that we can't when we do something it ends up in a failure, but When we are in Christ and we are seated now with Christ in the heavenly places You know, we look at our lives in In that perspective in the sense that you know, we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us and that you know You know, God has Planned even before the foundations of the world. He has Plans and purposes for us And his plans and purposes like Therese and Jeremiah Is not to harm us But is to prosper us and give us a future So we step into God's plans and purposes and we think that you know, the things that we were doing in the past You know, we're not God's plans and purposes for our lives Or maybe we did not do it with the spirits leading because we were living in our own sinful nature We were doing it in our fallen human nature. We were doing it with You know, not with the strength of God the wisdom of God and so now we come to a place where we Receive wisdom. We receive strength. We receive the spirits guidance and leading and we step into that with a sense of Not the sense of failure But with the sense of assurance that you know, this is God's plan and purpose for us And he's going to lead me through this and I'm going to be victorious in this So even if it is the enemy that is coming against us and causing Failure and close those and hurdles then we know our spiritual identification that You know that we have authority over every demonic powers and you know That the powers of darkness have no hold over us. So we speak against those powers of darkness because God has given us everything that we need for For godliness and life and then we step ahead in that Or if you are You know, if you are living with this whole fear that you know, there's a curse in your family and you have seen Things happening in a cycle or a pattern But you don't believe that now you break that and you say you take authority because God has given you the keys of authority And you have authority over the powers of darkness over every demonic forces Every curse has been Nullified Jesus took our curse that we can receive his blessing and so you speak The the verses in the bible that talk about You know your blessings in that area You declare it and you stand in faith and you believe in faith and you declare in faith Till you see God's word come true. Trin you see his promises come true till his promises are a yes And amen. So I basically just given you two areas. Does that help? Esther Clement Yes, sister. It's a very powerful key. Uh, whether it is a failure or These curses like we need to confess and take the place as if we are in authority through the heavenly perspective Rather than being worried looking at the circumstances Because we lose the battles in the mind itself. So yes, it was very powerful key sister. Thank you Uh, thank you, sir, uh, Esther. So here also, you know, something that we face is Health health issues. So the doctor can, uh, you know, uh Diagnose us with certain sicknesses health issues And can say this is for life But you know, we look at it from a heavenly perspective that there is no sickness in heaven and on the cross Jesus is born are griefs and carried our sorrows and we saw grief last Last class we saw grief the Hebrew word is Sickness he carried up pain And so even though we take the treatment we take the medicines But we declare God's word we Speak God's word on healing we declare the finished work of the cross and what Christ has done what his purchase for us Which is so powerful and we declare that over our bodies over our lives over those organs and We just Believe that in faith and stand in faith till we see healing happen. Yes Us to get through you. I thought you I saw your hand up Um Yes, sister actually, uh, I wanted to ask the question but you Answers kind of you know the I wanted to ask you is that when we We are in the carnal world. So we are not Pure to I mean clean to stand in the presence of God. So I wanted to ask you that we take the where the Weapons of warfare and prepare ourselves and then take the authority. That was my question Oh when we become children of God, we already have all of these It's like a gift package that we receive all of this comes to us But yes, we need to know what we have received and we need to appropriate that in our lives and that we need to know what we have received and use it and You know press until we see victory in that area because Jesus is the captain of our salvation. He's already won the victory He's already done that in the spiritual then we need to do that here for ourselves and just Press until we see victory Okay, thank you sister Thank you. Anyone else has any questions any doubts? Okay, so coming back to first Peter Chapter two was 24 Where it says, you know, we have where Peter saying we have died to sins In a sense, we already look at our spiritual identification and what it really means But when he says when you have died to sin in a sense that you know our debt to sin And guilt was paid by Jesus's sacrifice on the cross. So when we died to sin, you know spiritually identifying with Jesus is dead on the cross. It means that he paid our debts So we don't trouble ourselves over debts that are paid, right? Once your debt is paid, you don't keep worrying about it You are free. You're actually happy. Hey, that's paid. That's done. It's the closure has come You know and so you don't trouble yourself over it. So, you know When we look at what crisis purchase for us on the cross, he's paid the debts for our sins So we don't take the trouble You know ourselves over the debts that are already being paid because he bore our sins in his own body On the tree, which means he took all of our debts and he paid them for me and now I am dead for those debts Okay, and which means though those debts have no power over Me and I'm hence I am dead too sin so, you know Paul says he writes about the sin Romans chapter Six seven and then he says, uh, you know, yes, we are dead to sin But then why is sin still raining in my mortal body? You know, I don't want to do certain things But why do I end up doing those things and then he very beautifully, you know talks about the work of the holy spirit In chapter eight and he says it's the holy spirit that empowers us So, you know, yes, we are dead to sin We need to keep this truth and know that sin has no rain over our bodies and our minds and our and our spirit You know not saying that hey, I gave into temptation because you know it was more powerful than I am that's a lie of the enemy We are more powerful than the enemy Over every temptation and that is why Christ You know was able to overcome Uh temptation was because he lived with this spiritual truth or this identification of who he was in the father, so It's very important to know who we are in Christ and very important to know what crisis finished for us on the cross and to lift that Out so, you know, uh, we're dead to sin because Christ suffered in my place in our place And we have nothing to do with sin or the or the other The consequences of uh sin, okay And he's taken them all away Just as if we never committed it. So that is why, you know, we are justified in Christ justification Uh Means that, you know, God looks at us just as if we never sinned amen such powerful truths And I hope this has really encouraged you and Brought these truths to light and it's important that we live and walk in this truth and also here In first Peter chapter 2 we read that whose stripes you were healed. So which means, you know, uh On the cross Jesus brought our total Healing and our total fullness in our In our soul in our spirit and in our body amen So we are all it's and I love this it says by whose stripes you were healed Which means it's not that you will be healed. You may be healed. You can be healed It's not a possibility Can happen or not, but it says you wear healed which means it's already a done thing It already heals So, you know, any sickness that is ravaging your body any sickness that is bothering you You just declare over it that you are already healed To the stripes of Jesus and what Jesus done on the cross and you just believe that And walk in it. But having said that, uh, please don't say that, you know, I'm going to stop treatment or You know, I'm not I'm stopping to take medications No, unless the doctor tells you unless you hear from the Holy Spirit of God directly Then you go and do that. Okay So that is, um, uh, first Peter chapter two was, um, 24 just, uh, two lines But so powerful the such a powerful true that we could learn from that Any questions any doubts anyone else has? Any clarification For you we move on Okay, uh, we'll move on he became sin for us Okay, we're looking at another aspect of Christ substitution is suffering Uh, can one of you please read second Corinthians chapter five was 21, please second Corinthians Chapter five 21 What he made him who knew no sin To be sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God in him Amen. Thank you to get ruled So here is uh, we know that Christ was sinless, but yet for our sex, you know, he became Uh, sin or he was made to become sin and he became who, uh, you know, we were He became sinful like we were And he took upon himself our sins as our curse our shame our guilt And uh, he made us what he was Okay, so he took upon himself what we were so that we can enjoy or we can become who he is So in essence Christ substitutionary suffering is, uh, you know, what we can what we read In second Corinthians chapter eight was nine where he says though He was rich yet for our sakes he became Poor which means that he entered Into our experience so that we through his Poverty, you know could become rich, you know, he took our poverty so that we can become rich like him So even though he was rich yet for our sakes became poor So we who are poor can become rich Or receive the richness of the inheritance of the blessings That are in Christ Jesus and oh We looked at the divine exchange that took place on the cross. We studied about this in the end of chapter Seven so I'm not going to repeat that again We'll move on to another aspect of Christ substitutionary suffering He took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses We've already I've already mentioned and spoken about this, but we will just look at it in a in a little different Way, let's read matthew chapter eight versus 16 and 17. Please we We read in Isaiah chapter 53 versus four to six last week In in verse five basically that he was wounded for our transgressions He was bruised for our inequities and the chastisement for our peace was upon him and by his stripes We are healed so We read matthew chapter eight was a 16 and 17 where You know matthew courts Prophet Isaiah But he mentions in Isaiah chapter 53. So can somebody read that please matthew eight 16 and 17 Matthew eight 16 and 17 When evening had come they brought to him many who were demon possessed And he cast out the spirits with the word and healed all who were sick That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet saying He himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses Amen So here Isaiah spoke prophetically about what Christ would accomplish on the cross That he would take all all our sicknesses our disease. He would bear our sicknesses in his body and So here, you know when matthew Is writing this in his gospel. He's quoting Isaiah chapter 53 was Was four and five and he's You know, uh, basically saying that You know, this has come into fulfillment but You know, we can't take it that you know Isaiah what he prophesied was Was just for that event what was what was mentioned in in Matthew chapter eight was his 16 and 17 when Jesus was going to heal the demon possessed man Or it's not Isaiah just prophetically speaking about What Jesus would do When he would walk the face of this earth or his three years of ministry when he will heal the sick people So the the prophecy that Isaiah gives in Isaiah 53 Which is four and five is not just limited to Jesus healing this demon possessed man Where matthew says this has come this prophecy has come into Uh, you know, uh fulfillment or it's not just specifically talking about You know that this prophecy will be fulfilled only during Jesus's time when he healed the multitudes of their sicknesses and infirmities but the context in which Isaiah is writing in Isaiah chapter 53 is that you know What jesus would accomplish on the cross when he take any Takes our sicknesses and our infirmities and our diseases Is uh, you know what he's doing along with bearing our sins is Would you know would actually benefit Not just a few people like the demon possessed or others were healed during jesus's time But it is for the entire human race all of us, you know by christ substitutionary suffering when he took Our sicknesses he took our pain Uh, you know, uh, it's it's meant not just for the time When jesus was here on the earth and not just for that demon possessed man But it was is for everyone You know in the generations to come in our generation and generations to come Okay, so what are the implications of the holy spread actually Getting uh, matthew to quote Isaiah chapter 53 was four and five Is we can draw two conclusions here The first one is that you know when christ bore our sicknesses and our pain on the cross It means that all of us in any generation, you know any time span Would experience healing and wholeness in their bodies. Okay, so just like Uh, you know the demon possessed man was healed was made whole just like we read in in the gospels in In the book of angst all of them received their total healing and wholeness We who can experience that healing and wholeness Is because of what christ has done on the cross and the second implication Or the second conclusion that we can draw from what isiah prophesies in in isiah chapter 53 Is that even as we minister healing and deliverance just like christ ministered healing and deliverance And he brought total healing and wholeness to people And even the early church the apostles it's written in the book of angst They when uh, they prayed for sickness and disease and healing You know, we see instantly people were healed and made whole We can also walk in this truth or we can also believe this that when we minister healing and deliverance to people That they can be healed. They can be delivered. They can be restored to perfect wholeness Because of what christ has done on the cross. Okay, so What isiah is prophesying in isiah 53 Is you know, it's not just for a few select people during jesus's time or the early church But it is for our time our generation and for the generations to Come so enjoy this blessing Receive this blessing and just walk in this truth That you know, even as jesus bore our sickness and pain that we can also experience healing and wholeness in our bodies And even when we uh, when you step out and pray and minister for healing and deliverance For two people and praying for people just believe that they too can be healed and made whole Just like uh, jesus did because jesus said we can do greater things than what he has done And also like what the early church the early apostles the early believers the early church did amen uh, any questions so far Any doubts Okay, just two more things about christ substitutionary suffering that he became a curse for us. We already looked at galatians chapter three I think you studied it in chapter seven You know, uh, where we understood What is the implication of christ taking on the curse our curse and he what it means when he redeemed us from the curse Of the law, uh, we've already discussed this in chapter seven But uh, let's look at galatians chapter three verse 13. Can somebody read that please Galatians three verse 13 christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law Having become a curse for us For it is written cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree Amen, thank you sanjay. So here we look at another Implication of this verse that we already studied in chapter seven that christ set us free from the curse of the law which means The law, you know, when you don't keep the law it brought certain curses and the curses were listed out in God listed listed it out for the Israelites We read this in autonomy chapter 28 verses 15 to 68 a whole list of curses and the curses Included, you know sickness and pain and suffering and every kind of oppression and disease and poverty And failure it also lists out the blessings So when christ on the cross took our curse, you know, he became Uh a curse for us. He took on our curse so that we can enjoy the blessings So, you know, don't believe the slide that you know, the curses are the first past curses in your generations are still Operative if the thought comes to your mind, you can just You know, bring that and cover it under the blood of the lamb and just Declare that you are curse-free That christ has taken all of your sickness your failure your diseases your poverty or oppression and you know, and you now receive the blessings so Christ set us free from all the curses of the law and we receive his Blessings that he has for us a divine exchange again. Yes is to get through Just I wanted to ask you is uh those who are not born again your family members Are they uh under the curse of the generational curses? Yes, because they're still in sin Um the curse can be operative because they are no longer under the spiritual covering They're no longer under they're not coming under what Christ has done for them So, uh, yes The curse can be operative. They can live under the fear of that curse that curse can You know work in their lives But sister if you pray for them, will the prayers be affected? Yes, you can pray for them, but you need to also tell them, you know, uh And you know get them to understand and it's a good Place where you can lead them into salvation Okay, sister. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. We'll end class here. Um, thank you for those of you responded from to my request of having the assessment on On march 22nd, I think only six of you have Commented on it if the rest of you can it will be very helpful Thank you all for joining class today have A blessed day and a blessed and refreshing restful weekend and I'll see you on Tuesday.
