The Redeemed Earth: Healing the Curse of the Fall

By Ted J. Hanson

THE REDEEMED EARTH -The curse came through a government called, “the knowledge of good and evil”. Man’s knowledge of good and evil resulted in a curse upon the very ground of the earth. In this book we will look at seven things that happened in the fall of man. There were seven curses that came into the earth as a result of Adam’s fall. Those curses affect our everyday lives. We even take some of those curses as being normal, everyday life. Jesus Christ came to the world as the Son of Man to break the power of those curses in the earth for all of mankind. He came to restore men to a relationship with God as their Father.

Conclusion

Preface:

For many years I have experienced revelations from God in regard to His sevenfold grace. I have mentored and modeled the reality of God’s sevenfold grace to the Church. I believe God’s sevenfold grace is the very foundation of the Church and is the key to the maturation of the Body of Christ. I believe it is the power of God to perfect the Church to the day of fully manifesting the sons of God in the earth. I have committed my life to understand and facilitate an understanding of God’s grace to the Church and to the world in which I live.

God continues to give me further revelation in the depth of the subject of His life transforming grace. In the spring of 2005, God revealed to me a connection with His sevenfold grace and the curse of the fall. I discovered that there were seven aspects to the curse of the fall and that each aspect of the curse of the fall correlates to an aspect of the sevenfold grace of God. There is a very clear pattern in Scripture of the principle of God’s overcoming sevenfold grace. These seven aspects to the curse of the fall are yet another confirmation of the need of the sevenfold grace of God.

I am presenting the material in this book, not merely for information, but to enable the reader to grasp a fuller reality of the amazing grace granted to them by God in Christ. My goal was to present the evidence of the fall and then correlate each aspect to an expression of God’s grace that proves to be the antidote to the illness of each curse. In this book, it is my goal to expose false concepts and activate the reader to pursue an understanding of the power of God’s grace available to them in Christ.

I have also written a book called, The Seven Eyes of Grace. I have written The Redeemed Earth - Healing the Curses of the Fall, to lay a foundation for understanding the further truths presented in The Seven Eyes of Grace. In understanding the principles presented in this book, the reader will be ready to understand more fully both the power and love of God in their lives.

Many times we take the things of the world and incorporate them as the pattern for the Church. We will never become the true Church of Jesus Christ without being transformed in our beliefs and actions. I have written this book to expose the reality of the curse of the fall of man and to inspire the reader to seek the appropriation of the amazing grace granted us in Christ!

Please pray and ask the Holy Spirit to speak to you while you read the pages of this book. Many of the truths that I will present will perhaps oppose the traditional views passed on to us from generations of wrong thinking. The anointing on my life is to expose false walls and activate the pursuit of truth. This is a grace that God has placed upon my life. If we always do what we have always done we will always get what we have always gotten. I believe it is time to expect more of God and the power of God’s kingdom within us. Jesus said that the kingdom of God does not come by observation, but the kingdom of God is within us (Lk. 17:20,21). It is time to activate the power of God’s kingdom within our hearts!

I want to say a special thank you to the church of Abundant Life in Bellingham, Washington. You are truly the letter being written of God’s Spirit that testifies of the truths described in this book. I am honored to be in relationship with you and my prayer is that God will reproduce the kind of life that I have seen in you throughout the nations of the earth. You are the letter of authority that clearly endorses the truths of this book. Your Father in heaven is made known by your hearts. As a spiritual father in your lives, I cast my crown before the King of kings to say that the work of God’s Spirit of grace within your hearts is sufficient for every good work. May Jesus be glorified through the testimony of your lives. Thank you.

I also want to thank the various men, women, and ministries who have embraced my message as life and have sought to walk out the truths God has given me. It is a privilege to be your friend and fellow servant in the kingdom of our Lord and Christ. Thank you.

I want to thank my wife, Bonnie, my daughter Joanna, my son Jonathan and his wife Danielle, my son Aaron and his wife Amani. You are also the endorsement letters of that which I have dedicated my life to believe. Thank you for your love and your support. It is a great destiny we all have in Christ!

Introduction to Healing the Curse of the Fall

In this book, we are going to look at the antidote to the curses that came into the earth as a result of the fall of man. This antidote is none other than the empowering grace of God in the life of the believer. It is the power of God’s grace that heals the affects of the curse. It is God’s grace that transforms the very foundations of the curses of the fall. Before we can understand the power of God’s grace, we have to understand that there was a curse that came into the earth at the fall of man. The earth itself was made subjected to futility in the hope of the manifestation of God’s sons in the earth. The manifestation of God’s sons in the earth will be made possible by the increasing power of God’s transforming grace.

Rom. 8:18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; 21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. 23 And not only they, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.

Let’s begin by considering the curse that came into the earth as a result of the fall of mankind. It is the curse that holds the earth to the bondage of futility in the hope of the manifestation of God’s sons. In the third chapter of Genesis we read the description of the fall of man.

Gen. 3:14 So the LORD God said to the serpent: Because you have done this, you are cursed more than all cattle, and more than every beast of the field; on your belly you shall go, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life. 15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel. 16 To the woman He said: I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; in pain you shall bring forth children; Your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you. 17 Then to Adam He said, Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’: Cursed is the ground for your sake; in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life. 18 Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you, and you shall eat the herb of the field. 19 In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for dust you are, and to dust you shall return."

This is the curse brought upon the earth by the fall of man to sin. I believe Jesus positionally broke the curse that is upon the earth. We have Scripture that assures us of a day when there will be a new heaven and a new earth (2 Pet. 3:13). We all look forward to that day. In our anticipation of that day, we sometimes miss the blessings of God in our lives today. This is because we view that day as an event, alone. We go through this life wrestling and struggling until the event comes. Very often, we waste time in this life waiting for the event to come. We waste time called today looking for the day when it will finally become good. I believe as Christian believers we have to realize there is already a new heaven and a new earth. We are looking forward to the day of the event, but I believe as Christians we need to begin to appropriate a different heaven in this life in which we live. We need to start living lives that are administrated by a different influencing factor than the things of the world.

Many people see Christianity as merely a life of rules and regulations. They see it as a life devoted to discipline and misery. They see it as a life of rules where one doesn’t get to do anything. Christianity is much more than that! Christians should be filled with laughter. They should be filled with passions of the heart. Christians should do more things than the people of the world, but they should never do them with the spirit of the world. They should do all things in the Spirit of Life and the giving of life to others. They shouldn’t do anything with a spirit of selfishness or the taking of life from another. Christians need to begin to live life!

What does the curse in the world look like? How does that curse affect us in our everyday lives? In the world, guys go out on the great dating exploit. They wrongly manifest the hunting nature of men. They selfishly pursue women as though they are an object for the taking or a target to attain to in their life, Christian men should never do that! The answer to everything is yes, but every yes is within the boundary of life-giving pastures. There is no such thing as true freedom if it comes at the expense of someone else’s life. This selfish attitude of personal fulfillment is a part of the nature that came at the curse of the fall.

It is good to enjoy the things of life. God put everything upon the earth for mankind, but He didn’t put them here so that we would get our life-source from them. He put them here so that we would live life to the fullest and then bring God’s life into the earth. Christianity doesn’t have anything to do with being religious or miserable. It has to do with coming to the place where the curse of the fall of man is broken. It is about bringing God’s life to our lives and changing the world in which we live.

We don’t have to look very far in the world to see that there are curses around us. If we listen to the evening news or read the daily paper, we know that there are curses around us. Sometimes it is overwhelming, but God wants to break every curse that is in the earth. You have to believe that! If you are a Christian, that basic belief has to be in the very core of your Christian belief system. God wants to break every curse in the earth! You must believe that! He is going to prove the breaking of every curse in the earth! If we don’t believe it is God’s will and that it can happen, we will live lives that fall short of it ever happening. We will succumb to curses and believe it is simply part of life. God wants to break every curse in the earth. This means that any curse on your family will be broken as well. God’s light is greater than the darkness of the world. God’s life is greater than the power of death.

The curse came through a government called, the knowledge of good and evil. Man’s knowledge of good and evil resulted in a curse upon the very ground of the earth. In this book we will look at seven things that happened in the fall of man. There were seven curses that came into the earth as a result of Adam’s fall. Those curses affect our everyday lives. We even take some of those curses as being normal, everyday life. Jesus Christ came to the world as the Son of Man to break the power of those curses in the earth for all of mankind. He came to restore men to a relationship with God as their Father. Coming to the reality and understanding that God is our heavenly Daddy is what makes us Christians. He is our heavenly Father. We weren’t born to be right, we were born to be loved by Him. The curse came when man thought he was born to
