Ezekiel
20 25 I also gave them over to statutes that were not good and laws
they could not live by; 26 I let them become defiled through their
gifts-the sacrifice of every firstborn -that I might fill them with
horror so they would know that I am the LORD .'
God spoke all things into existence by the word of His mouth. God ordered the creation of all things for His own glory and their own good. We are taught that God gave life to all things by the breath of His mouth. This original creation was proof that Gods purpose in ordering all things would end in the blessing of man. God created all things according to His law, covenants, curses, statutes , promises and decrees.
God gave us the laws, covenants, curses etc in order to establish His ways. These words of God are given for our good in order to walk in the way of blessing. Gods word cannot be divided. We must be familiar with every word of God. The words of God are eternal and holistic. One word is the spirit of all the words. The bible contains all the words of God. We must swear to uphold these words in the context of Gods laws, covenants, curses etc. This is why the Psalms which is the OT worship book is given in pronouncements of Gods law,covenants ,curses etc in order to constrain Gods people by preventing them from being cursed in breaking the boundaries of Gods pronouncements. Because Gods pronouncements are more than individual mandates. They are the given in order keep Gods elect from walking in the way of destruction. The pronouncements provide the perfect image of the God Man who would come to bless His people. The pronouncements are more than an exhortation to walk in the way of blessing. They create the ability in Gods people by providing security in destroying destruction through the curses and establishing Gods statutes as they are given in the forms that brings unity to the soul.
God provides the foundation of security by constraining His people. We say that Gods statutes are the secure foundation of Gods people. God has given the law, covenants etc in pronouncements in order to create the desires in his people to focus on His word in order to live by illumination. We are completely dependent upon God. We must seek Him through His word. We must depend upon the Spirits illumination of that word in order to avoid the ways of idol worshipers. In constant mediation we pronounce the law, covenants etc in order to walk in the ways of God. We must learn to enjoy Gods works by feeding on His word. The ways of God are too wonderful or more destructive than we could imagine. Everything that we are or have are given to us for our good.
The entire creation is a work of God in order to show the goodness and glory of God. The temptations that we face are not overbearing because of the good things that we enjoy. The temptations come from our inability to control these good things. Evil is not present in order to tempt us to be afraid of all of the things we enjoy. Evil is the presence of destruction and death. This is why God cursed all of the good things He created in creation. Because the only way that the good things could be enjoyed was through renewal. In other words when we become addicted to the good things that God has gifted to us in creation we are saying that they are evil.The only way to get control over these good things is through dying to using them in a destructive way. We must curse the destructive way. Every evil no matter how small must be destroyed by the curses.
God has given us the ability to be identified with the wicked as we are consumed in speaking the curses. We say that if you want to know how to overcome enemy you must study his ways. We are creatures that live by identity. We cannot know evil in a personal way unless we are familiar with it. So it is not evil to know it if we overcome it. We can know and identify with evil by the extreme words of the curse as we overcome it in destroying it in the curse. So God ways of blessing are the holistic use of creating success by the pronouncements.
