Episode 2-6: Understanding Blessings & Curses, Pt 1

Welcome Back! !  I am your host Dawn Simmons and in this episode of Conquering Our Unseen Enemies we are starting our series on Understanding Blessings and Curses.  We have set the stage for this discussion by first examining why our words matter, we then talked about the spirit of rebellion and last week we touched on the seven spirits of God that we have in the Holy Spirit.  All of these are components to Blessings and Curses.  First we will understand what a blessing and a curse are, then we will see in the Old Testament and the New Testament how God has used both for His purposes and finally we will talk about some real life examples of blessings and curses.  Next week we will start digging more into a discussion on Curses.  I wanted to start with Curses first so we can end on a positive note with Blessings.  Either way before this series ends, you will know how to break curses and usher in blessings that are being blocked. Ok, are you ready?  There’s a lot to get through so let’s get going. .

As always let’s recap Top Show Points:

·      We are starting our series on Curses and Blessings

·      A curse is defined as: a solemn utterance intended to invoke a supernatural power to inflict harm or punishment on someone or something. 

·      We discussed Adam and Eve and the first curse

·      2 Corinthians 4:18, fixing our eyes on what is unseen and eternal.

·      Exodus 19:5, God’s covenant

·      A blessing is the act or words of one that blesses or a thing conducive to happiness or welfare.

·      Deuteronomy 28: 1-14 are the Blessings for Obedience

·      Deuteronomy 28: 15-68 are the Curses for Disobedience

·      God is a just God who renders judgment, curses are a part of that judgment

·      John 15: 5-7, verses discussing Curses and Blessings still apply in New Testament 

·      Gave you a story about Pat who resigned herself to her curse

·     We encourage you:

·      To have an active Bible reading plan, it will be helpful in gaining wisdom and understanding and it is required for the gift of spiritual discernment.
