Breaking Curses
Ancestral Curses and Others Curses
Ties that Bind
Have you noticed that “something” isn’t right? There are bad cyclical things that happen routinely in your life; and/or in your family line or in your own family. These things are the result of a curse.
Numbers 14:18-20 - 18. “‘The Lord is slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiving the sin and rebellion. Yet He does not leave the guilty unpunished; He punishes the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation. 19. In accordance with Your great love, forgive the sin of these people, just as you have pardoned them from the time they left Egypt until now.’ The Lord replied, ‘I have forgiven them as you asked.’”
Proverbs 26:2 - TMT - “You have as little to fear from an undeserved curse as from the dart of a wren or that swoop from a swallow.”
There are several kinds of curses and one area we all have to deal with are family curses. As the scripture in Proverbs tells us, if we are dealing with a curse, then it is “deserved”. Meaning something has happened to make that curse come upon us, whether we did it or someone in our family line back to the 3rd or 4th generation.
Curses can happen for several reasons:
-
Ancestral (Generational) Curse: typically this shows up in the area of health like “genetic” disorders and diseases; can also be mental issues; alcoholism; dying early; disabilities; cursed marriages in family line; accident prone and such things.
-
Curses can come from buying items that have been cursed. Once the item is in the home things will begin to arise. Depends on what the curse is. When an item is cursed it has a demon attached to it. (All curses have demons attached.)
-
Unrepented Sin.
-
A person places a curse on you: this occurs from a witch —white, black, or other color-named witches; sorcerer; fortune-teller; psychic; tarot card reader; palm reader; necromancer, soothsayer, diviner; even horoscopes.
What to do about these things in prayer:
(There is a basic prayer at the end.)
-
Recognize where the trouble came from and talk with the Lord about it. Do what He tells you to. If you’re not certain about what you heard, you always double check what you heard in your spirit or the thought that came up from deep within you with the Word of God, scriptures regarding that subject matter. Never listen to “voices” from outside of your head. God doesn’t speak to His children that way. He is within you. His Voice comes from within.
-
Verbally repent of the sins of your forefathers/foremothers, and of your own sin. And if it is something you purchased, repent of having bought it, and get rid of the item.
-
Receive your forgiveness of you and your entire family lines.
-
Renounce and Break the curse in the all powerful Name of Jesus.
-
Break all cords (Proverbs 5:21-23) to the curse upon you and family members and burn them up with the Fire of the Holy Spirit - for He is a consuming Fire! (Hebrews 12:29; Matthew 3:11 and Acts 2:3.)
-
Release forgiveness of anyone who comes to mind, including the person who placed the curse (if relevant).
-
Renew your mind by replacing thoughts, attitudes, and action (what you think, say, and do) with what God’s Word says regarding these things and your life. Speak the scripture out loud to yourself. When an old thought or attitude comes up - cast it down in the Name of Jesus and replace it by verbally quoting the scripture regarding it. Don’t just think it. Speak it. That’s how you will change your thoughts. You don’t need to memorize scripture. As you keep the Scripture(s) in front of your eyes and speak with your mouth (confession), over time they will come pouring out of your heart and mouth. It’s the Holy Spirit that helps you do this.
-
Resist old patterns of behavior. Don’t allow yourself to “go there”, in Jesus Name. Again, speak the Scripture out loud to yourself regarding the situation. As Proverbs 27:19 and 23:7 - “As water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart” and “For as he thinks in his heart so is he.” Change your negative automatic thinking of yourself with the Word of God. Every time an old pattern of thought comes up, cast it down in Jesus Name and replace it with the appropriate scripture that contradicts that thought. Choose scriptures on the subject matter that excite you! That excitement, that joy, is the Holy Spirit Who is taking hold together with you!! Those are the scriptures to use to renew your mind.
-
STAY IN PRAISE and THANKSGIVING TO GOD until the manifestation comes to pass! You don’t need to repeat repentance for your forefathers etc. It’s done! Go to praise instead! The devil will attack. Guaranteed. And try to make you think you didn’t get free. All he is doing is attempting to make you “take doubt” on. Don’t give in. Never surrender! We have already won by what Jesus did on the Cross! For eternity!! Don’t put up with him trying to make you doubt that you’re free. Instead PRAISE GOD - ‘cause YOU ARE FREE! And praise is the most important thing we can do - it is our mightiest weapon: TPT Psalm 149:6-9 - “God’s high and holy praises fill their mouths, for their shouted praises are their weapons of war! 7. These warring weapons will bring vengeance on every opposing force and every resistant power— 8. To bind kings (Ephesians 6:12) with chains and rulers with iron shackles, 9. Praise-filled warriors will enforce the judgment-doom decreed against their enemies. This is the glorious honor He gives to all His Godly lovers. Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!”
Satan doesn’t stick around when you praise. So get your praise on!
PRAYER for family curses:
“Father God, I come to You in the mighty Name of Jesus, and I thank You for the mighty power You have given me through the Name of Jesus and through His ALL Powerful Blood! You sent Your Word and healed us! Jesus is the Word, my Lord and Savior, and I am so grateful to You Father God for sending Him to redeem us. Now I recognize a curse on my family and I intercede for my family right now. I stand in the gap and repent of all sins, and cancel all oaths, rituals, contracts and such like that caused this curse to come upon me (us) from (name the person if you know, or yourself and) and my forefathers and foremothers. I receive Your forgiveness for me and my entire family in line and I thank You for it. In Jesus Name, I renounce and cancel the curse; and loose all devil(s) off of me and my family and cast them off permanently. You can never return, In Jesus Name. I cut all cords to the curse(s) that had kept us bound and Holy Spirit I ask for You to burn them up with Your glorious fire! I release forgiveness to (name person or people who come to mind). We are free in Jesus Name! Whom the Son has set free shall be free indeed. I thank You for it Lord Jesus! Holy Spirit help me with this, with old thought patterns and actions regarding this. Show me when I get into old patterns of thought and behavior and as you show me I will immediately stop my thinking in Jesus Name (and/or the behavior) and cast that thought down and replace it with the appropriate scripture regarding the situation (if it’s healing, replace old negative thought with a healing scripture that excites you; if it’s problems in marriage, go to the appropriate marriage scripture, etc). Thank You Holy Spirit for Your help. And every time this situation comes up in my thoughts I will praise You God for Your delivering me!!! Thank You Jesus!”
