    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 19, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,094 views

    What are the true blessings of God, and how do they actualize in our lives? Also, how do we stay away from the curses of the evil one? God’s word teaches us how to stay blessed, and how to avoid curses.

    In Genesis 27:28-29 we read, “May God give you—from the dew of the sky and from the fatness of the land—an abundance of grain and new wine. May peoples serve you and may nations bow down to you.
