I have been asked a couple of times how does one go about dealing with curses. This is going to be a very short overview. For the theology on the illegitimacy of ANY and EVERY curse, please read: Generational Curses: Fact or Fiction?

The first problem people have when it comes to dealing with curses is that they get stuck on the illegitimacy. They take the theology on board that says “My generation goes back one to Jesus and He has no generational curse.” That is completely true. Jesus was made a curse for you. (Gal 3:13). But some people then play the very dumb ‘ignore-the-schemes-of-the-devil-game’. They basically reason, “If it’s illegal, he can’t do anything so all this talk about curses is not applicable to me.” You have to think your theology through all the way. Jesus provided freedom from curses just like He provided salvation, healing, and deliverance. Just because He provided freedom from oppression, doesn’t mean all the captives have been released. Jesus provided healing yet the devil still attacks us with sickness. If all sickness is illegal yet you can still get sick, guess what? You can also be under the effect of an illegal curse. Stealing is illegal yet thieves do it everyday. No right doesn’t equate to no ability. Jesus provided a way out. You have to take it to get out.

When Jesus became a curse for you, curses did not cease to exist. Just like when He bore the stripes for your healing, sickness didn’t cease to exist either. Now that you hopefully understand that curses, though illegal in every way, can still effect you, let me tell you how to deal with them. I hope by now you also know that you don’t rebuke a devil by saying “Devil I rebuke you!” In the same way you don’t bless somebody by saying, “I bless you.” Look at how Jesus rebuked the devil:

Mar 1:25 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!”

The rebuke is an instruction, a command that needs to be obeyed. Speak to the mountain. What about a blessing?

Gen 1:28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

God blessed man by speaking out a command that demanded increase and multiplication. So if you want to speak a blessing over somebody’s finances, don’t say “I bless your finances”, say “Finances increase and multiply in Jesus Name.” To bless is to speak well of, to command increase. The same applies to breaking curses. You never once read about Jesus saying, “I break the curse of such-&-such over you.” So how does one do it then? By blessing.

Speak and command the opposite increase and multiplication to the effect of the curse. Bless those who curse you. The answer for curse is in blessing. If your finances are cursed, start blessing it by commanding increase. If your womb is barren, (barrenness is a curse) start speaking life, increase and fruitfulness over your womb. Command it to come alive and to bear children. Speak the opposite increase. Speak the desired outcome. Reverse the curse by speaking and commanding the opposite blessing.

If certain sicknesses seem to run in the family, don’t wait until it comes to your door. Start blessing and speaking life over your body. If you don’t have the symptoms yet, go fight the same sickness in other people’s lives and get victory so that when the devil does try to bring it on you, you can fight him and beat him because your faith for victory over that sickness has been established. David beat the lion and bear and gained experience way before he took on Goliath.

Go read through Deut 28′s list of curses and make a list of those that seem to be in effect in your life. Then start commanding the opposite blessing because you have the legal right to bless for you have been freed. Don’t fight for victory, fight from victory. Jesus won, you are just reminding the devil of that fact. Bless yourself, your family, your children. Life and death are in the power of your tongue.

Eph 4:29 Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.

Your words impart grace. Speak grace-filled blessings and see curses reversed. If you want to know more about this subject let me know and I will write a few more articles on it.

Be fruitful and multiply and Jesus Name!
