15. We must have faith in God:
Mark 11:22,24
(22) So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. (24)
Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray,
believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
16. We must believe for the anointing of God:
1 John 2:20
(20) “But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know
all things”.
1 John 2:27
(27) “But the anointing which you have received from Him abides
in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the
same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and
is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him”.
17. We must resist the devil:
You must resist the devil.
James 4:7
(7) “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from
you”.
18. We must renounce all rebellion:
The Bible says rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft.
1 Samuel 15:22-23
(22) So Samuel said: “Has the Lord as great delight in burnt
offerings and sacrifices, As in obeying the voice of the Lord?
Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat
of rams. (23) For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, And
stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have
rejected the word of the Lord, He also has rejected you from being
king.”
If we have not fully surrendered every part of our lives to Jesus
Christ, then we will find that there is rebellion in our heart. This
allows the devil into every part of our lives.
19. We must renounce all self hatred:
Through his death on the Cross, Jesus Christ has shown His love
and forgiveness for us, therefore we must receive that forgiveness
and love into our hearts absolutely in order to be free.
Therefore, renounce all self hatred in Jesus Name.
Prayer:
20. Wrong objects in our home:
We are to be careful about what we bring into our home
particularly anything to do with the occult or pornography:
Deuteronomy 7:26
(26) “Nor shall you bring an abomination into your house, lest you
be doomed to destruction like it.You shall utterly detest it and
utterly abhor it, for it is an accursed thing”.
In the New Testament we find that when people came to Jesus
Christ they burned all their occult books:
Acts 19:19
(19) “Also, many of those who had practiced magic brought their
books together and burned them in the sight of all. And they
counted up the value of them, and it totalled fifty thousand pieces
of silver”.
21. We must renounce all freemasonry:
Past involvement by ourselves or our ancestors in Freemasonry
will bring a curse upon us.
22. Music:
Wrong music. Much of the heavy metal music, rock and roll music
that is around today is Satanically inspired. We should not listen to
such music but rather Christian music which encourages us in the
Lord.
23. We must renounce curses
24. Primary reason for curses:
(a) Not hearing God’s voice
(b) Not doing what He says
25. There are seven blessings and seven curses referred to
in the law in Scripture.
Seven blessings:
26. There are seven curses referred to in the same
chapter:
(1) Humiliation
(2) Barrenness
(3) Sickness of every kind
(4) Poverty, failure
(5) Defeat
(6) We will be the tail and not the head
(7) We will be below and not above
27. Indications of Curses:
(1) Mental, emotional breakdown
(2) Repeated sickness, especially hereditary sickness – doctors
can’t find the cause
(3) Feminine problems - barrenness, miscarriage, menstruation
problems
(4) Breakdown of marriage - family alienation
(5) Financial insufficiency, poverty. Sometimes poverty for a short
period is just a test but if we are always in poverty it could be
a curse.
(6) Accident prone
(7) History of unnatural deaths
A curse can be something like an evil thing moving up from the
past. It is like a deep shadow.
Note:
28. Reasons For Curses:
(1) Having false gods (Exodus 20:3&4, Deuteronomy 27:15)
(2) Disrespect for parents (Deuteronomy 27:16)
(3) Treachery against a neighbour (Deuteronomy 27:17)
(4) Injustice to the weak (Deuteronomy 27:18&19)
(5) Illicit sex (Deuteronomy 27:20-23)
(Effect of wrong sexual relationships, particularly those
outside of marriage or with members of one’s family)
(6) Perjury (Deuteronomy 27:25)
(7) Stealing (Zechariah 5:1-4)
(8) Stinginess towards God (Malachi 3:9)
(9) Perverting the Gospel (Galatians 1:8&9)
(10) Depending on the flesh (Jeremiah 17:5)
(11) Anti-Semitism (Genesis 12:3, Genesis 28:3&14)
29. Persons
30. Self-imposed curses
31. Curses brought on by unscriptural covenants:
Exodus 23:32: “You shall make no covenant with them, nor with
their gods.” We are to make no covenant with those who are not
committed as Christians. Freemasonry is an example of that with
self-imposed curses, e.g. the 32nd degree
2 Corinthians 6:14-17: “Do not be unequally yoked together with
unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with
lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?
And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a
believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple
of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As
God has said: “I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be
their God, and they shall be My people.”
Therefore “Come out from among them and be separate, says the
Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you.”
32. Curses put on by the servants of Satan
Other reasons for curses:
33. Objects in homes
(Deuteronomy 7:26) We are to have no
abominable thing our home. This can cause children to be
disturbed.
34. Soul ties
Mark 11:22,24
(22) So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. (24)
