Topic:
Freedom From Curses
Text: Genesis 9:20-27
You
may wonder why I have continued to address curses consistently.
It is simply because I have discovered that if men of God could
teach the Church why curses are in place, and show God’s
people how to cancel them, wonderful things will begin to happen.
Again,
let me state this: there is no cause without a cause. There must
be a reason before a curse can work. Whenever the Lord is not
on your side, if a curse is placed on you, it will work. If the
Lord is on your side, if a curse is placed on you, it will not
work. However, if the evil one tries to pronounce a curse on you,
it will turn to blessing. In Number 23:8, Balaam said “How
shall I curse, whom God hath nor cursed? Or how shall I defy,
whom the LORD hath not defied?” Who can pronounce a curse
that will work?
Quite
a few people can pronounce a curse that will work on you. If God
pronounces a curse on you, there is no escape. God pronounced
a curse on Cain, in Genesis 4:4-12, and Cain never came out of
it. Others that can place a curse that can work on you include
those God has put in places of authority.
For
example, your father can curse you. If your father curses you
for a good reason, it would work. In Genesis 9:20-27, is the story
of Noah when he got drunk. He got drunk and laid flat on his bed.
When his youngest son saw him he laughed and mocked his father.
He told his elder brothers who decided not to look at the nakedness
of their father; they covered him up, walking backwards. When
Noah woke up and heard what had happened, he pronounced a curse
on his youngest son that he would be a servant for the rest of
his life. The curse stuck to his life. Are you under any curse
because of what you did wrong? You must repent and seek freedom
from all curses. The Bible says: “And I will cleanse them
from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me;
and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned,
and whereby they have transgressed against me.” Jeremiah
33:8.
Memory Verse: Number 23:8 - “How
shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? Or shall I defy, whom
the LORD hath not defied?”
