Cure for the Curse
Types of Curses:
a. Generational curses (iniquity of fathers, story of 2 families; 10 times more likely to drink)
b. Cast curses (person receiving and giving is effected)
c. Earned curses (sin brought curse; obedience = blessing; rebellion = curse)
Galatians 3:13-14 “Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, ‘cursed is anyone who hangs on a tree’), that the being of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”
1. Cross connects me to the family of Abraham
Cross connected me to blessing of Abraham, disconnected me from curse of my family
Abraham is father of many nations. In your seed nations will be blessed!
Curse Checklist:
- Chronic diseases / healthy and wife beautiful
- Phobias and fears / faith, dreams and goals
- Premature deaths / lived long
- Loneliness and divorce / great marriage
- Poverty and lack / wealth and abundance
- Repeated disasters / victories
2. Victory on the cross does not end your war, it begins it.
We are more than conquerors, means we get victory before battle.
We go into the battle out of victory. David and Goliath story (positive with Holy Spirit)
You were created not just to seek freedom but be fighter.
Use your authority, rebuke the devil, speak to the mountain!
Video: First battle.
3. It’s not just about removing demons but replacing them
Curses have demons behind, blessing has Holy Spirit behind it.
Getting rid of sins and evil without filling up with Holy Spirit is dangerous!
Complete freedom is when Holy Spirit is LORD! Donkey, Israel
Picture: Tree without roots.
Story: Boy with the big house!
Sometimes when you fill yourself with Spirit, He will push out all other junk!
Without HS, blessing will leave as fast as it came, not stand test of time, not multiply!
Blessing is to invitation to seek Jesus more, love Him more!
