Something To Do Before

Examine your own life for any curses there from the present
or from the past?
Go and see your pastor, or elders, or prayer warrior friends.
Tell them what you suspect. Ask them to pray with you. Confess
your sins
and those of your ancestors and together call upon God for help.
Remember, God resists the proud but will give you grace if you
are humble.

1. Deliver Us From Evil
In Galatians 3, 2-5. we read how Paul was
astonished by the unexpected backsliding by churches who not only
knew the truth, but had received Holy Spirit and had seen
miracles. Now they were deserting the Lord, losing their joy and
believing a different gospel. They were moving back into human
effort and religion, and having fellowship with strange people.
Paul confronted the root issue, Galatians 4, 8-11, 5, 7-12, and
asked,
"Who Has Bewitched You?"
The word bewitched means to slander or to bring evil by
feigned praise, or to mislead by the evil eye, charm, bewitch,
fascinate, or lead into evil doctrine. Sometimes there are
problems in our lives, families and churches which bewilder
us and defy every natural and spiritual answer. If this is
the case in your life always remember that God wants to bless
you with such joys as exaltation, health, children, victory,
prosperity, and God's favour. Deuteronomy. 28, 1-14.
2. But Has Anyone
Bewitched You?
Sure signs of bewitching or cursing are
long-term frustrations at being unable to attain to the blessings
God promises, confusion, hitting an invisible barrier to progress
and suffering repeated evil either personally or in the family
history. See Deut. 28, 14-68 for the symptoms
-
Accident prone lives. 28,29
-
Barrenness, female problems. 28.18
-
Continuous poverty, 17, 29, 47-48
-
Failure again and again. 38,
-
Suicide or untimely deaths,
-
Joshua 6.26, 1 Kings 16.34
-
Humiliation. 25-44,
-
Breakdown of marriage, family, mind,
or emotions, 34, 20, 28, 65, 30, 41.
-
Repeated or hereditary sickness. 21,
22, 27, 35, 59, 61.
-
Oppression, 33
These are common examples that are
possibly but not always caused by bewitching, and without
suggesting wilful disobedience to God by the sufferer.
3. Where Do Curses Come
From?
-
Man Has Been Cursed By God With:
Unrewarded work. Gen. 3, 17; 5.29
Restless wandering. Gen. 4.14
Base servitude. Gen. 9.25
Global confusion. Gen. 11.1-9
By Satans Followers
An undeserved curse does not come to rest, but if
Christians deliberately sin, the curse can come to rest.
Prov. 26.2
We Can Curse Ourselves By ~
Soulish talk, Prov. 18.21,
moral sins, Deut. 27.20-23;
worshipping false gods, Deut. 27.15;
injustice, Deut. 27.17-18;
abusing our parents, Deut. 27.16;
carelessness in Gods work, Jer.
48.10;
trusting in man, Jer. 17.5;
ignoring the poor, Prov. 28.27;
robbing God, Mal. 3.9
and in many other ways.
We May Have Been Cursed By Others
by excessive authority, physical or
emotional abuse, prayers to a god,
or our ancestors may have been cursed.
Freedom from curses comes only through
Jesus who exchanges our curses for God's blessing. Galatians 3,
13-16
4. The Divine Exchange
On The Cross.
-
He was crucified for our transgressions.
He was crushed for our
iniquities.
He was punished to bring us
peace.
He was hurt for our
healing.
Isaiah 53, 1 Peter 2.24.
Became sin so we might be righteous.
Suffered death to give us eternal life.
Became poor that we might be rich.
Was rejected so we might be accepted.
2 Cor. 5.2, Hebrews 2.9, Romans 6.23
2 Corinthians 8.9, Ephesians 1, 5-6.
Instead Of Curses, Many Blessings.
Instead of unrewarded work, in Jesus
our work is not in vain. 1 Cor. 15.58
Instead of wandering aimlessly, we
travel with a purpose. Matt. 28.19
Instead of base servitude we have the
high calling of a servant. Phil 2, 6.
Instead of being scattered, we can be
globally united in power. Gen. 11.6
Instead of global
confusion we have Abrahams blessing for the nations.
Genesis 12.1-3.
How Was Abraham Blessed?
Abraham was blessed in every way.
We are also blessed with the promise
of Holy Spirit to empower and enable us to fulfil God's
purposes for the nations. Gen. 24.1. Acts 1.8
5. Seven Steps To
Freedom From Curses
Bewitching is the work of evil spirits who
respond to man's words and malicious prayers but read 1 John 4,4
and 3.8. Prayer in the name and authority of Jesus will break all
evil power. Ask brothers and sisters whom you trust, and who love
you to pray through these 7Rs with you ~
-
Recognise that the cause of the
problem is spiritual.
-
Repent of sins that allowed the
problem to enter, turning away from them with God's help,
and choosing to follow Jesus as Saviour and Lord.
-
Receive forgiveness in Jesus
name and in Jesus name, forgive everyone that has abused
and hurt you
-
Renounce Satan and all his
works.
-
Remind Satan of the blood of
Jesus and his defeat on the Cross.
-
Ask your friends to Rebuke every
evil work, commanding every evil power to go and every
curse be broken in Jesus name.
-
Refill your life with Gods
Holy Spirit and continually praise Jesus, live in the
Spirit and in Gods word.
- Taken from the
Joshua Project Unreached Peoples List
these people have no church and as yet
no cell, church or mission has committed themselves
to prayer, adoption or church planting among this people.
