Life isn’t always perfect. But for some people, and even some places, life isn’t easy. We’ve discovered that lots of people and places have a spiritual influence around that affects them. God - our Heavenly Father -  wants us to learn to walk in His ways. However many of us are carrying spiritual baggage such as curses and iniquities, and they’ve never been taught how to recognise these, let alone deal with them.

According to Dr. Derek Prince, the symptoms of the curses on individuals & families in Deuteronomy 28 can be summarised as follows:

1.  Mental and emotional disorders

2.  Repeated or chronic sickness (often hereditary)

3.  Barrenness, miscarriage and female reproductive problems

4.  Breakdowns of marriage and family alienation

5.  Continuing financial insufficiency (regardless of income level)

6.  Being “accident-prone”

7.  History of suicides and unnatural or untimely deaths. (From “Blessings or Curses - You can choose” by late Dr. Derek Prince).

If someone has one or two of these symptoms, it doesn’t mean they are under a curse, but we couldn’t rule it out. One is unfortunate, two is interesting, and three’s a pattern! We look for patterns, and when dealt with the result is usually immediate relief and freedom.

This teaching offers hope for all Christians that they can be released into the blessings of God and forever leave behind iniquities and curses that have kept them and their families captive. There are twelve major curses that people may have operating in their families. 

Recently we’ve learned about curses over Scottish, English, Irish, Welsh and Scandinavian people, plus many other national and ethnic groups around the globe. We are passing on what we have learned.

To Explain: Jesus Christ warns us to “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognise them”, (Matthew 7:15-16a). Jesus Christ also warns us that even mature Christians are at risk of deception, (Matthew 24:24). The Apostle Paul warns us to beware of those who preach “another Jesus”, and who are empowered by “another spirit” other than the Holy Spirit, and whose gospel is actually bad news, (2 Cor. 11:4).

If you think you cannot be deceived, then you probably already are. What a sobering thought. But then, Deceived people don’t know they are deceived.

Deception is when we believe a lie, about God, about His people, or even about ourselves. Deception misleads us, causes us to follow the wrong course. It uses enticements, and deludes us to accept the false and yet call it “Truth”.

Deception is not only just one mis-truth - but a whole collection, and usually ends up being empowered by a spirit of deception. Final deception results in a strong delusion.

* Have you been deceived by anyone?

* Have you been cursed for leaving a church? (More common than most realise, including ex-Catholics, JW’s, Mormons, Adventists, etc.)

* It’s time to break the curse of labouring in self-righteousness (common in Freemasonry, cults & spiritually abusive churches);

* There is a curse of the Masonic Tyler that needs breaking off churches, that has determined who gains access to God;

 

* There is a the curse of silence that needs to be broken off the families of Freemasons;

 

Symptoms of a curse on a community, city or nation:

*  The ground ceases to yield its fruit;

*  The land vomits out its people (through famines, war, abortion, storms, earthquakes, fires, unstable governments, drug and alcohol addictions, broken marriages, fatherless children, poverty, unemployment, plagues/diseases, e.g. aids, etc.)

 

These symptoms often look like:

*  Economic stagnation

*  Personal insecurity

*  Civil & International insecurity

*  Dishonour & Stagnation

*  Lack of Innovation and Creativity

*  Corruption in government & business/unions.

New Zealand is the first nation to see the light of each new day, and is getting desperate to experience God’s move in His sovereign power.

 

We have to learn to fit into His purposes, rather than try to convince Him to fit into ours!
