Where Curses Come From |
Hosea 4:6-7 - Ignorance of the devil's schemes, wiles, devises can destroy your life and those associated with you.
Deut. 28:1-68 - Simply put, one is blessed by obeying God's commandments and one is cursed if he doesn't.
Eze. 18:20-28 - Generation curses can pass on from one generation to another by ignorance. You can stop it continuing on in your life by rejecting the past, and beginning to live immediately God's way, and holding self accountable.
Prov. 26:2 - The curse causeless cannot light on you unless you allow it by thinking of the sinful past, influenced by the externals of this world, being seduced by others, and the philosophies of this generation.
Jere. 17:5-8 - Issue here is secular humanism. Human standards of right and wrong are established by a cursed mentality rather than by biblical standards. We are all influenced by the world's system of thought and ethics and as such conditioned to accept curses as normal and rational.
Ps. 7 - Living by God's word we will be overwhelmed by blessings blinding us to the curses, the presence of ill-will that blinds our perception. Therefore, by our words, our motivations and intentions are affected either by blessings or curses. We make the choice, the devil doesn't.
Ps. 10:4-7 - Persons of pride, convinced of their own strength, are cursed. They must push down others, to lift themselves up. Pride must always demean in order to be elevated. To be put down by another is to be cursed.
Ps. 109:2-3 , 17-20 - Words spoken in lies and hatred are due to an internal hatred which invokes ill-will. Be aware of these lies and surround self with the truth. Watch out for deceitful, envious and jealous people. Don't argue with these people for their curse can fall upon you.
James 3:8-15 - Our words are only to be God's words, man's words are useless. Tongue of man has power to inflict death upon another.
Eph. 6:12 - Man in himself has no answers, he must seek God. Evil demons are behind words, not flesh and blood.
Remedies:
Gal. 3:13-14
- By the Blood of Christ, we are separated from all generation
curses, being filled with the Holy Spirit, we have His power to keep self
free from all curses and instead to confer a blessing upon all we contact.
2 Cor. 5:14-16 - We see others faults and blemishes dead in Christ.
2 Cor. 2:10-11 - Forgive those who have cursed me because demons are behind their words. If I don't forgive I bind them as well as myself.
Lu. 6:27 - Judge not, to judge is to curse which will fall on me.
Heb. 4:12-14 - Declare God's word over my life and over others, and deliver all from curses.
Ps. 64:1-10 - God will deliver us from the curses of others, and cause their curses to fall upon themselves, and possibly redeem them.
Isa. 54:17 - God works on my behalf, and protects me against all curses.
Prov. 4:24 ; 18:21 - Power of life and death is in the tongue. We determine our destiny. Satan cannot put his curses on us unless we allow him by our tongue, by our thoughts and by our actions. He has no authority in my life unless I give it to him.
Prov. 12:18-19 - Use your tongue to heal, to heal yourself and to heal others.
Eph. 4:22-24 - Daily, we engage in spiritual warfare, putting -off evil, and putting-on blessings as we biblically respond to all of life's encounters.
Note: I bind and loose sins from myself or others, sins which gives
satan a foothold. Since Satan has been bound at the cross, my job is to command
him to leave.
