Re: can a christian or family be cursed ?like from somone is the family from past & n
Romans 12:14 says 14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
And in Luke 6:28 Jesus says bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
Whether cursing works or not, whether you use things in an attempt to cast a spell, or feel that you have the power in your head to send out some kind of signal, cursing is black magic. Revelation 21:8 says that people who practice such things will have their part in the lake of fire. Whether cursing works or not, the hateful intention will not go unpunished- whether it is paid for by Christ blood on behalf of a repentive, obedient soul, or a soul pays for it themselves with eternity in hell, either way it will not go unpunished.
But human beings cannot curse someone in a magical way. There are only 2 sources of super natural power- God and satan. As in the example of Job, satan can't do anything without God's permission- therefore his powers are limited. God's powers are not limited, and God does curse the wicked. He cursed Adam for his sin, He cursed Eve for her sin (and woe the curse of periods, child pain, and desiring to please a husband- especially for she without a husband who cannot quench this desire). The snake was cursed to crawl on his belly. Jesus cursed a tree for not bearing fruit. And we know that diseases are curses for sinning.
Not everything bad that happens happens because of sins or curses. Bad things happened to Joseph (my favorite bible story) but it happened so that God's people and Egypt would be saved from famine, and it was ultimately God's Will for His people to go to Egypt and be saved through Moses, because that represents how we are saved today through water. Sometimes bad things happen to good people- whether to make them stronger, or because satan is attacking them because they are going the right way. And sometimes they are going the wrong way and God is disciplining them.
One thing is for certain. God knows even every hair on His children's heads. He knows when they sit and when they lye down. Just pray and put everything into His hands. And keep in mind that a single thread cannot see its position and purpose in the pattern of grand designer rug. But God makes all things fall into place exactly where He wants them because no one will prevent His Will from happening. And how can we be rewarded for overcoming trials if we never have trials? Despite the seemingly impossible things the Lord calls us to do, He will not let you go through more than you can bear. I used to ask God how strong He wanted me to be if I am already as strong as a spiritual Sampson. But I trust He is preparing me for something or someone that needs me to be spiritually amazing.
