Understanding Curses Part 1

Did you know that repeated sin often activates a curse in your life?  Wonder why you can't stop doing it even though you try hard?  Before I get into curses and how they work, I want to dispell a few myths:


Myth #1:  I will not be completely happy until I get to heaven. 
First, happiness is a fickle condition based on circumstances.  As a Christian, we have joy (Galatians 5:22) the minute we receive the gospel (John 15:11).  Our joy should not be manipulated by circumstance (James 1:2).

Myth #2:  I should just endure the trial because they are inevitable.
Because of Jesus' death on the cross, we do not have to just take what comes our way!  We have full dominion over everything that God has created. This means we can speak to every trial. We can speak to every situation and it must bow in the name of Jesus.


If your trial is the result of a curse, this section is for you.  Please know that the devil's victory depends on your ignorance.  Curses either come from God or from people.  This would be a good time to read Deuteronomy 27 and 28 before going any further.  

So how do I know whether it is a curse? Good question. Curses normally show up in the natural realm as lingering situations that frustrate you.  This means no matter how hard you try or how careful you are, you are unsuccessful in this situation every time you face it.  If you keep facing the same trial, if you repeatedly experience failure at the edge of success or failure at the edge of a miracle, dealing with any type of infirmity, multiple marriages or marital destruction (this is most likely generational), been involved with a *false religion, *deliberate sinning, accepted someone saying to you "she/he's just like his daddy/mom, living from check to check, accepted strange money or cursed gifts, *conscious or unconscious honoring of demonic idols (idolatry), conscious or unconscious performance of demonic rituals, *ancestral sins (such as family idols), witchcraft curses placed on your family, spiritual ignorance, *dishonoring your parents, *stealing/cursing, *sexual perversion (includes fornication).  The ones that I starred cause a curse from God.  The only way to remove a curse from God is to repent.  There are also curses from man (could be witchcraft or just simple word curses). Word curses could be as simple as "I will never, I can never or I wish I were dead, etc."  Please know that these words are completely binding in the spiritual realm. Consulting diviners or herbalist who claim they can see things, even horoscopes!  Curses!  If you don't reject the projection immediately, please know that it is binding. The American culture has overexposed us to some of these things so we don't think they can do any harm. Please don't be fooled. As Christians we don't read horoscopes because God has already ordered our paths (your destiny) and He will grant visions and future knowledge through the direction of the Holy spirit, discernment, His word or your dreams. To consult palm readers, psychics, or read horoscopes says you don't trust God. Whether it's just for fun or not, the spiritual law is binding.

Once you serve the enemy notice, begin to repent for anything you have done to cause your destiny to be cursed. Through true repentance, prayer and the reading of the Word you are choosing liberty and not bondage.  If you are serious about your walk with Christ and getting closer to Him, pray this aloud: Yehovah, I no longer desire for satan to have open access to my life. I want to repent of all the ways I have invited evil into my life, be it consciously or out of ignorance. Please give me the strength to live a life in Your truth Yehovah. I pray that all deception, curses and demonic distractions will depart from my life in Jesus' name!   

Now, please know we are more than conquerors, but for these types of prayers to be effective in the life of a Christian, you must begin to close open doors in your life. Open doors may be deliberate sinful behaviors you indulge in or anything that invites the enemy into your life. For instance, using curse words. They are called that for a reason. So ask God to expose those things in your life that are sinful and as He exposes them, repent.

It is important that you begin to align your life with God so that your assigned angels can fight for you and so that the words you speak when you pray gain power. You gain power by aligning yourself with Christ (reading and applying the word).  Please know when you begin to serve notice to the enemy, there will indeed be a war! This is why you must close open doors.




Prayer: Father God, I have fallen short of your glory, I confess true repentance of ______ in the name of Jesus. For every utterance of repentance, I ask that you have mercy on my soul and forgive me. Allow me to receive the spirit of repentance for everything I have confessed so that you may be glorified in my life and the enemy disgraced in Jesus' name.  I pray this day that I am not their candidate, and that I am loosed from the power and authority of any evil spirit associated with any curse in the name of Jesus.  I pray Yehovah that you will dismantle every evil covenant operating over and in my life today in the name of Jesus.  I ask you to strengthen me daily by opening my eyes to see things as You would Father. Anything in my life pushing me farther away from you, expose it by fire Father God so that I may see it and turn away from it in the name of Jesus.  Father, renew me as your word says in II Cor 5:17 that old things are passed away and all things are made new. I confess that I choose Christ today and leave bondage behind me in the name of Jesus. Strengthen me as I take this journey to stand boldly for Christ.  I love you Father, be glorified in every area of my life. I submit myself fully to you in Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Rise in Gnosticism...


I decided not to write a commentary on this posting, but rather let you decide or let you do more research...Just remember, at the end of the day, you have a choice.  I'm just putting it out there. :-)

A Prophetic Look at 2011

Today when I arrived to church, we received an interesting "print out".  The church I recently joined usually hands out notes of interest or reminders for things the ministry will be observing as an international body. I have to admit, that although my heart has been saying it for some time, it took me a minute to actually read what was on the sheet of paper. All last year, I would tell my sister and husband that I felt like God is drawing a line in the sand...and when He is done drawing that line, you better be on the right side or your destiny will be sealed. A lot of people don't believe that God would be so strict.  It baffles me because the bible is full of instances where God said "do this or else my wrath will come upon you...I am the Lord your God"!  I got a glimpse of this very thing, when I got a note from a prophet stating this about the year 2011 "2011 is a no compromise year people. That means, no matter how hard things get, we cannot compromise our Godly stance! Time to get planted people and become unshakeable no matter what comes our way! (Psalm 16:8)"...then God laid it on my heart to say in one of my statuses "this year, you will make a choice. If you don't choose, a choice will be made for you"...so now I understand it more and more after receiving the note below. I want to share it with you...

(Note: This prophetic look is by Dr. D.K. Olukoya)

(begin note)

Spiritual Picture of Year 2011:  Prophetically, you can call this year the boiling year.  A very delicate and sophisticated year. The prophetic picture is not very, very attractive.

Matthew 20:1-10 "For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire men to work in his vineyard.  He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard.  About the third hour he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing.  He told them,  "You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right. So they went. He went out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour and did the same thing.  About the eleventh hour he went out and found still others standing around.  He asked them, "Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?"  "Because no one has hired us", they answered.  He said to them "You also go and work in my vineyard".  When evening came the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, "call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first."  The workers who were hired about the eleventh hour came and each received a denarius.  So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more.  But each one of them also received a denarius.

Prophetic Look at Year 2011:

1. A year of massive and insane disorder.
2. A year of satanically inspired and well orchestrated chaos.
3. A year when the animal will pursue the hunter and the horse will begin to ride
    the rider.
4. A year of unexplainable lawlessness and protest across the nations.
5. A year whereby unless there is aggressive intercession and divine intervention,
    the economy of the world will be shaken and brought down to dust.
6. A year of the rage of satanic blood bath.  The enemy shedding blood anyhow
    carelessly.
7. A year where there shall be hot anger from heaven against strange marriages
    and perverted marriages.
8. A year of execution of divine judgment against powers behind powers terrorizing
    nations and people and terrorizing nations and religions.
9. A year of national and global disgraceful surprises for the enemies of
    righteousness and peace.
10. A year of when a lot of monkeys shall fall down from the trees.
11. A year of very harsh geographical and climatic conditions.
12. A year where divinely energized storm shall swallow the wicked.
13. A year of judgment for blasphemers.
14. A year where there will be emergence of newer groups carrying out the most
      gruesome satanic agenda.
15. A year of emergence of newer technology to improve lives but also to multiply
     iniquities.
16. A year of food crisis.
17. A year of unimaginable wickedness in high places and we need to really pray
      hard.
18. A year of evil promotion and evil tolerance.
19. A year of abominable perversion and rebellion.
20. a year that will dramatize what is in Haggai 2:6.
21. A year that will dramatize the scripture in Hosea 12:13. A year when you will
      need a prophet to lead you in, to sustain you and to lead you out. Amos 3:7
22. Nations supporting sexual perversion and strange marriages will experience
      the Sodom and Gomorra kind of punishment.
23. Serious prayers are needed to avert bloody ethnic clashes and destruction.
24. A year when you must always know the mind of God before embanking on
      anything.
25. A year to really pray against major catastrophic disasters.
26. A year when the Almighty will set tables of uncommon blessings for his faithful
      children.
27. A year when the statement where biblical judgment will begin in the
      house of God will be played out in full.  So those who are false prophets and/or using the name of
      God for business and manipulation and those who are wallowing in sin and
      hiding in church will find that it is not a year to do so at all.

28. A year of uncommon decay in societal values.
29. A year of exposure and judgment for the bad and ugly in Christianity.
30. A year when deliberate violation of God's command will have zero tolerance
      from heaven.

KEYS NEEDED FOR SURVIVAL IN 2011:

Horizontal words do not control the earth.  Words that ascend do not rule the earth.  But when you send words down from heaven, heaven will take hold of the earth and it will rule for you.  When you operate from the heaven lies (pray), you reign over all your enemies.  Your enemies will no longer be able to escape your sword when you operate from the heavens. In a year like this, you need to understand certain biblical principles to be able to survive.
