When an individual goes against the law of God, the person becomes profane. Unless there is a swift return to the word of God, such a person may likely suffer permanent defeat just like Samson, who eventually died along with his enemies. Blessed are they that keep the testimonies of the Lord, and that desire him with their whole heart.
It is possible that you to be defeated, maybe due to carelessness. Deuteronomy 28:1-7 lets us know what you need to do to get back to your rightful position and how you need to do it. You must listen carefully to the voice of your Lord God, a lot of believers today are not prepared to listen to God.
It is unfortunate that some ministers encourage their flock not to listen to the Epistles anymore; they say the contents aren't meant for believers of today. We aren't only to listen carefully to the word, we must also be diligent enough to meditate on it and do all His commandments.
What are the commandments of the Lord?, You are to get rid of ungodly relationships, repent of your sins and do away with them genuinely. These are two important things you must do to be healed of any defeat you may have suffered.
David knew this secret and that was why he used it to his advantage as we.
The promises that God made to the Israelites don't apply to the church. God doesn't give the church victory the same way he gave Israel victory.
I think when you used the word "epistles" you meant the Old Testament books. The epistles are letters that Paul wrote.
The Old Testament is also the word of God but much of it doesn't apply to the church. Such as the laws for the Levitical priesthood. We don't have the right to stone blasphemers or those who violate the Sabbath for example.
I think too many people focus on the Old Testament because they want the blessings that God promised to Israel but didn't promise the church.
