And Curses
āā¦Blessing and cursing come pouring out of the same mouth. Surely, my brothers and sisters, this is not right!ā James 3:10NLT
What are scriptural curses and blessings? Researching these, I discovered how naive I wasā insanely naive enough to believe most Biblical referrals to ācursingā meant āprofanities.ā After all, English profanities are called ācurse words.ā Embarrassing to say, Iāve taken āBiblical cursesā very lightly.
The tithe was initiated by Abrahamā pre-Law; Genesis 14:20. ***Ordained in the Old Testament Law; Leviticus 27:32. ***Revealed as a pivotal point of blessing and curses; Mal. 3:8-10NASB āWill a man rob God? ā¦you are robbing Me! ā¦you say, āHow have we robbed You?ā In tithes and offerings. You are cursed with a curse, for ā¦robbing Meā¦ Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, ā¦test Me now in this,ā says the Lord of hosts, āif I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows.ā Favorite verses of mine, I never considered the curse therein. Besides, I didnāt consider any scriptures saying Papa God cursed people. He DOESNāT curse and bring harm! Ahh but He IS required by the Law to allow satan to pay with consequences wrong choices.
āā¦The Lord says: āCursed are those who put their trust in mere humans, who rely on human strength and turn their hearts away from the Lord,ā Jer 17:5NLT. Serious curses follow after those who, like the Israelites, in Jer. 17 relied on men. Yahweh wanted to be their God, the One they counted on for everything. No different for us today, going to the doctor not prayer, the bank first, the government first and donāt look to God. We place ourselves in the arena of cursings. Then wonder where our blessings are.
Let us open the personal cursingās can of worms. Is it cursing a person when we: Gossip? Backstab? Demean? Condemn in disagreement? Pass judgment?
Iāve watched people making serious mistakes in their lives. The āfamily-friend-emiesā set words against themā They canāt ever do anything right. They lie, cheat, steal. Did you seeā¦?
Those people struggled to better themselves, yet fought invisible monsters bringing them to the mistakesā levelāholding them there. Meanwhile āfriend-emiesā gloated about being right, proving Prov. 18:21NASB āDeath and life are in the power of the tongueā¦ā Their words had cursed and killed hopes. James said āthis is not right!ā
For those who live easy lives unaffected by cursesā Could the reason curses doesnāt seem to effect them beā Prov 26:2NASB āā¦an undeserved curse will not land on its intended victim.ā
āNever slander a worker to the employer, or the person will curse you, and you will pay for it,ā Prov 30:10NLT. Wisdom says to refrain from slandering anyone.
Have you spoken curses over anyone? I did. Holy Spirit dealt with me on the subject, hence my research. Iāve repented long ago, for everything I thought to be the truthā but Holy Spirit saidā ādidnāt need to be said.ā Then, I cursed all those words Iād said, commanding those words to die and fall idle to the ground, in Jesusā name. I released any demonic assignments because of my words. Afterwards I commanded demons carrying out the curses to be bound away from the accursed. Last, I began calling down all the blessings of God on those previously accursed people.
Now, I know that no one reading this have never possibly considered or done such a horrid thing. Still, allow Holy Spirit to guide you into all truth, (Jn 16:13). Then decide if you need to repent. With your words will you live on the side of blessingsā or curses. Itās your choice. You choose.
PRAYER: Papa God whenever You reveal a truth, itās because You want to help us grow. Open our eyes Lord to the wonders of Your law, in Jesusā name I pray.
