Episode 24: Series 6 of 7: Overcoming the Spirit of Cursing, Ep 24
Welcome Back! I am your host, Dawn Simmons, and in this episode of Conquering Our Unseen Enemies we are continuing our focus on our 7-part series for the next 2 weeks including this week, which is the remainder of 2022. We started the series discussing the Spirit of Bitterness, we've also talked about the Spirit of Strife, the Spirit of Impatience and the Spirit of Accusation and last week the Spirit of Insecurity. This week we are going to be discussing the spirit of Cursing. This one is different because I want to discuss how it works around us and comes at us through others and how to respond. This series focuses on 7 demons that are so common in our lives that I want to address them openly and focus on understanding them and evicting them as we end 2022. The plan is to enable us to start 2023 with a new heart for the Lord, but the plan got even better which I will share again in a moment as a refresh. With 1 weeks left after this week, the last demon we will be addressing is Worry. Then on week 8, we will have a wonderful new beginning as we enter into 2023.
Ok so as always let's recap the Top Show Points:
· We are continuing our focus on our 7-part series for the next 2 weeks, which is the remainder of 2022. We started the series discussing the Spirit of Bitterness, then the Spirit of Strife, Impatience, Accusation and Insecurity. This week we discussed the spirit of Cursing.
· A few weeks ago I sat down to hear from the Lord on specifically what content He wanted included, it became clear He wanted me to address the marriage between Him and His church. I shared what He wanted me to share with you.
· The Spirit of Cursing is a strongman and a very loud spirit. Words are their weapon and they use them very well to illicit pain. The Spirit of Cursing is very controlling. It uses fear tactics, manipulation and plays on weakness to illicit the outcome it is seeking.
· This Spirit of Cursing is a master at using words, words as a sharp blade, a weapon to tear apart everyone.
· Used scriptures: Proverbs 12:18, Proverbs 18:21
· Proverbs 26: 18-19, gave you the story of Linda who didn't like me very much or my dresses apparently
· We need to be firm where firm is called for and dismiss those things that are not really aimed at us.
· Gave example of Jerk who placed a curse of death over my husband in Istanbul and that was an example of being firm and we talked about when to be firm.
· We talked about how to handle a person coming at you with these demon tactics when it's a family member of a coworker
1. Ask the Lord to reveal the truth in the situation. We want to bring the dark to the light.
2. Ask the Lord if there is anything that you have done that has allowed the enemy to work in your life.
a. Repent and ask for forgiveness if the Lord reveals anything to you
b. Rebuke the enemy and use your scriptures
c. Pray quietly whenever you are in the presence of the person with which you are having the issue
3. Set aside time each day with your scriptures to pray and seek wisdom for how to proceed if this is ongoing until the Lord guides you to resolution
§ Document prayers and answered
· We talked about Jesus and how he was firm when dealing with the Spirit of Cursing coming at him through the Pharisees and the Sadducees.
· Matthew 12:36
