Listening

To deal with biblical causes of curses, let's go to Deuteronomy 28 for what I would call the primary causes, both of blessings and curses. And fortunately, they're very simple.

The old King James used to say,

“If you will listen diligently to the voice of the Lord your God.”

In Hebrew, that phrase is formed by repeating the word listen. “If you will listen, listening,” that's emphatic, “to the voice of the Lord your God and do what he says.”

So very, very simply, the primary cause of all blessings is listening to God's voice and doing what he says.
