(A magnanimous offer is available to all. The ‘lower law’ curse of working by the sweat of your brow has been abolished and the higher law of Father’s blessing is waiting to be enjoyed. It’s really true! To read my book Supernatural Provision, see below. – MLH)
“And the soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on His head…” – John 19:2
If hard work is the formula for prosperity, then everyone who works hard should be prosperous. But this is certainly not the case. Many people who work very hard are still in lack!
I am not advocating laziness. What I am saying is that working hard by the sweat of your brow is not how God’s provision comes. In fact, if you have to work overtime all the time and are stressed out, you are probably operating under the curse.
What curse is that? It is this curse: “In the sweat of your face, you shall eat bread…” (Gen 3:19). And it refers to the stress, struggle and anxieties that come with working hard and yet producing little. Now, work itself is not a curse since God gave Adam work before the fall—Adam was to tend the garden of Eden. It was only after he sinned that the land was cursed and it brought forth thorns, and man had to toil to eat of it. (Genesis 3:17–18)
But praise God, Jesus wore the thorns on His head to show you that He has borne this curse for you and redeemed you from it. He wore the crown of thorns so that you can work stress-free and yet have the results. You don’t have to be worried and stressed out day and night like the people of the world just to get ahead in life. Your heavenly Father can get you there without the worries and stress. (Matt 6:31–33)
Beloved, every curse that was supposed to fall on your head fell on Jesus’ head, typified by the crown of thorns. He wore the crown of thorns for you so that you can have peace of mind. He wore the crown of thorns for you and took your curse so that you can wear the crown of glory and take His righteousness, and all the benefits of that righteousness!
Today, don’t labor and toil like the people of the world. Instead, expect to see the blessings of God come into your life without blood, sweat and tears because Jesus wore the crown of thorns for you!

For more inspiration on this subject, I believe your paradigm of acquiring all types of provision will be challenged as you read my book, Supernatural Provision. You’ll be surprised at the largeness of our Father’s heart as you comprehend the rest (freedom from toil and anxiety) that we’re invited to live in. Question: Was Jesus’ sacrificial atonement on the cross strong enough and all encompassing enough to lift off ALL of the Curse, or just the ‘guilt-of-sin’ part? Captivating reading… with lots of testimonies… and soul searching questions.
This book has always been FREE if you see me personally… or if we have to mail it, please help with $5 to cover shipping and handling. If your church or study group would like to obtain larger quantities of Supernatural Provision, please inquire about super low bulk shipping costs. (click here)

Beyond the Map 
Jesus traded our thorns for His. No more thorns! Awesome. Love it.
And I HIGHLY recommend everyone get your book! We gave them to our ministry students. It’s a freedom handbook to help us learn how to live in New Covenant blessings.
Mark, make sure you have a pile with you when you come in June. 🙂
Blessings.

Jesus abolished the whole Curse… ALL of it. Our minds are being renewed with the Truth. Outdated and erroneous traditional norms are being obliterated with super empowering upgraded realities.
We’re really excited about coming your way, June 22. We had such a great time last time. You and Maureen are champions!
Like Johnny Appleseed, we’ll bring a bunch of books to sow. Lord knows what kinds of ‘oaks of righteousness’ will spring up from these seeds. Fun, fun!!!
