The pastor is away from the church but we can do his wife, i'm sure we can organise that.
You all pray and ask God if there are any sins she needs to confess. Just the fact that they let demons come in and take over the church for one thing. Make sure you all confess your sins or that is a open door way for any demons on her to come in you.

There is no need to fear curses according to the word of God. Unless of course you are on the losing side and we all know who that is....................satan.

Hi how are u? No fear. But some people think in today there is no such thing as cursing. God's word is very clear. Blessing's and cursing come out of our mouths.

Cursing and being cursed is as real today as it has always been. How bout Eve? Ever had a baby? It hurts. That curse was from God due to Eve her being disobedient. Ever had a period? That hurts, make one sick, bloated.

Cursing is very real. The bible speaks of generational curse.

Lets talk about gossip. Ever hear people gossip about someone? They are cursing out of their mouths poison onto another person. That is very real. They are sending evil darts from hell onto another person. Thoughts? Our thoughts are blessing's or cursing's. The bible says we can murder someone with our thoughts. For one thing to have such hate in our hearts to someone else first murders us.

Some Christians curse people all the time.

Hi again
This was messing up I wanted to post it before it froze.

Then the witches, satanist all false god worshipers and unbelievers all which are antichrist. They serve Satan and their power is given to the devil.

Cursings are very real. If and I say if we learn from God what to do we can break curses. If we don't learn then we are useless over them.

Before you start quoting scriptures to support your personal convictions you need to study them and find out what they truely are speaking to, such as the above verse in (Col 3:8).

Curseth (or curses): The word is kakologeo - which menas to speak ill of, revile, abuse verbally, to calumniate or charge foolishly. The word does not mean 'to curse' in the sense of (Gal 1:9) where 'accursed' in anathema - which means a curse or a woe, a divine curse from God that could end up in physical death. This word is present in (Mt 15:4, Mk 7:10, Rev 22:3).

Ok I have no idea if I have put this in the right place but at my church (Seymour Baptist) we are having a few problems of concern.
1. We have a Demon going around harassing people, trying to find a way in and further divide the Church.
2.We have a Witch and Warlock currently attending our services, who I suspect are cursing people
3. We had a lady in our church who I believe was of the occult (can't prove it though) that started rumours and accusations in the church turning members and even leaders against each other.

I ask, does anyone know the best way to deal with something like this, in all 3 points? Also can you back up your suggestions by pointing me towards scripture? and 3 the rest of the members and the congregation, doesn't know/ hasn't realized, what should I do there?

Thank you in advance...
well the Bible says that we are to have nothing to do with those who cause devision.

It also says to understand that division comes from the world. It is not of the body. Check Galatians 5

Yes, I had a baby. The first one was hell. Sorry but it was, then someone showed me the scripture Galatians 3:13 AND I stood on it and believed and had a pain free child birth, totally natural and all over in 10 minutes! Please read Galatians 3:13

I really really really believe that scripture Galatians 3:13, so no matter or amount of cursing is going to hurt me as I put all my trust in Christ Jesus. I have experienced first hand two miracles just based on that one scripture alone. The first time my ear was healed and before that giving birth to my daughter. It freaked out the nurses and doctors. I was up walking around afterward too!

Dear Graybeard

I am sorry to hear about the problem in your church. We had a similar situation here. Fortunately our Pastors are believers in the Word and they believed us when we reported it. The Word is very clear on witchcraft, it also gives you the door in which it entered. Rebellion is as witchcraft the Word says in Hebrews 3:8. When the person we believed was a witch entered the church, we began praying in the Spirit and binding the powers she was trying to loose. This is a spiritual battle, one we have to rely on Jesus to take care of. Prayer is the most powerful weapon we have available to us. I suggest you and those who agree with you get together and pray in the Spirit for wisdom on handle what is now loosed in your church. I know fowl spirits hate praise and worship music. If you can play that when no one is there praying I would reccommend it. You asked for points to be addressed:

1.You have the blood of Jesus to use to bind that spirit of strife up, if there are more than one of you I suggest you all pray together. Matthew 16:19
A. Pray in the Spirit. Romans 8:26
2. You have the blood of Jesus to use to bind the witchcraft as it enters, or go one better and pray for it (the spirit) not to enter. Bind it from the
church in prayer. I have come up against a few in my time. Call on the name of Jesus it's His fight we just do what the Word says.
Anoint the outside of the doors with anointed oil this way if anything be in there already it can leave, but nothing else can come in.
Your Pastor should do this or an elder. Exodus 12:7 Leviticus 8:10-12
3. Do for this woman the same thing yuo did for the witch and warlock. Please if you don't know what you are doing, don't do anything except pray for
God's wisdom and guidance. Jeremiah 33:3 Isaiah 43:2 (the rest of chapt. 43 is powerful) John 16:23-24

I pray as I type this helps you, God is in control even if the devil wants you to believe different. God bless I will keep you and your church in my prayers. Do not fear this spirit, God will answer your call and He is much more powerful than any demon. Philippians 2:10

Curse means curse. I know what I'm talking about. Everything I said is true. We have the power to bless or

curse. What do think prayers are ? They are blessing's. You should know this. Hopefully we are blessing

people all the time. Witches an all are cursing us all the time. They pray to Satan against marriage, they


pray to Satan every evil curse they can. They know what they are doing. Christians sadly on the other

hand live in darkness as to the powers they hold by the name of God and do very little to Satan's

kingdom. Proof is in this world.

In Christ I challenge one's ability to curse. See James for understanding of how blessings and curses can not flow from the same place.

My church also had a problem when we first got started of people with attachments as I call them attended our church. We had a group of people come together and pray for our church, the leaders, and the attendees. They had to do this for about six months before the people finally left. Don't give up on it! This is definately a battle...but remember, God ultimately wins. It might not happen right away...and things might get rough...but keep praying against the things, and they will eventually realize they can't get anywhere and leave. I'm praying for you guys

Well these people haven't been back since we got the group together and prayed for the church, the restlessness and bitterness is basically gone, it's been replaced by love and grace, and new people are coming in and there is more life in the church than has been there in ages it's great.
