Episode 2-12: Understanding Blessings & Curses, Pt 7
Welcome Back! I am your host Dawn Simmons and in this episode of Conquering Our Unseen Enemies we are going to be discussing behaviors and activities we do that result in Curses having a legal right to operate in our lives. We have already discussed what is a curse and what is a blessing. We reviewed Deuteronomy 28 discussing obedience and disobedience relating to blessings and curses, and last week we discussed events or occurrences that suggest or reveal a curse may be operating in our lives. This is part 7 of our series "Understanding Blessings and Curses" and today we will talk about how to break curses and usher in blessings that are being blocked by curses.
As always let’s recap Top Show Points:
· This is part 7 of our series "Understanding Blessings and Curses" and today we will talk about how to break curses and usher in blessings that are being blocked by curses.
· A curse is defined as: a solemn utterance intended to involve a supernatural power to inflict harm or punishment on someone or something.
· The definition of a blessing is: God's favor and protection
· There are 2 things we are going to discuss today, the why and the how. Without the "Why", there is no "How".
· As believers, and this is only for those who are believers, have the ability to break a curse.
· Everything, everything we need for this is rooted in the cross. For a curse to have a legal right, a rebellion, disobedience or a turning from God's ways has happened.
· There is an exchange we participate in as we turn back to God, place Him as our priority and enter into Obedience
· Matthew 8:16-17, 1 Peter 2:21-24, Isaiah 53: 10,
· Jesus fulfilled the law, and that is why, we are able to break or be released from curses.
· The 6 steps to breaking a curse:
1. Acknowledge Jesus as our savior.
2. Repent.
3. Acknowledge our forgiveness and address any unforgiveness.
4. Clean house.
5. Renounce any Satanic or Occult practices.
6. Pray.
