Trump, Hurricanes and Israel - Ron Cantor Messiah's Mandate

Trump, Hurricanes and Israel

Ron Cantor —  September 8, 2017 

One of my mentors often says he does not like armchair prophets. An armchair prophet is somebody who prophesies after the fact. What do I mean? It’s too easy to say after a tragedy that it was judgment from God. You’re far more credible if you prophesied before the tragedy that a judgement is coming if a certain country doesn’t do X, Y or Z.

But Why?

So it would be too easy right now to say God is judging America because of the Hurricanes. On the other hand, when two of the most horrific hurricanes in history come one after another, a country must fall on its face and ask God, “Why?” Harvey is set to be the costliest natural disaster in American history. Irma is heading for Miami as the strongest Hurricane ever coming from the Atlantic Ocean. We must ask the Lord, “Why?”
Is that not what they did in the Bible when judgment suddenly came—they asked the Lord, “Why?” Joshua did this when they lost the battle to Ai and 36 Israelite fighters died?

Then Joshua tore his clothes and fell facedown to the ground before the ark of the Lord, remaining there till evening. The elders of Israel did the same, and sprinkled dust on their heads. And Joshua said, “Alas, Sovereign Lord, why did you ever bring this people across the Jordan to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites to destroy us? (Joshua 7:6-7)
The people of God are to be God’s voice to the world. We should be asking God “Why is this happening? Is it just weather? Or something more?”

Confusion in the White House

So let me share with you an experience I had a few weeks ago. It was just after Charlottesville, when the president made several comments regarding the protests there over a period of several days. One of the final comments, and maybe the most confusing and controversial, was when he said, there were “very fine people on both sides” protesting.
There were no fine people marching with the Nazis. Even if you showed up there to protest the removal of Confederate statues, you left the minute you saw people on your team with Nazi flags, making Nazi gestures and chanting Nazi slogans. The minute you realized that you were hanging out with white supremacist racists, you got out of there.
In fact, it seemed that all hell was breaking loose against the Trump administration. Massive leaks, firings, resignations, exposing of secret meetings, infighting, the Scaramocci tape, angry tweets, attacks coming from every side and miss steps on every side. I’ve never seen anything like it and I was not buying that it was only because of the media. (I understand the media is no friend of the president.)

I sensed from the Lord

One Wednesday August 16th, a day after the contentious news conference, I felt the news cycle sucking me back in to waste another two hours or so. I pulled away to seek the Lord. Burdened for America, I simply asked, “God, what is going on with the Trump administration?”
Instantly I sensed God impress something on my heart. I say I sensed and impressed because I want to submit it to you. The spoken voice of God is subjective (unlike the written Word of God). It is often like seeing through a glass darkly, to quote Paul. When the Lord speaks to me, it is rarely in sentences, but sudden bursts of knowledge. I simply know something I didn’t before.
And I sensed that he said something close to this, “I gave Donald Trump the opportunity for a slam dunk in Israel. I set him up for blessing. All he had to do was recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and announce the moving of the US Embassy to Jerusalem during his visit in May, marking 50 years of her reunification.” He was set up for blessing, but instead he chose two other things:
  • To make a massive arms deal with ultra-Islamic Saudi Arabia
  • To send his son-in-law to restart the forever failed and flawed and frankly unbiblical peace process. (Not that God does not want peace, but He doesn’t want us compromising with terrorists).
Neither of those things would have happened if he had recognized Jerusalem and moved the Embassy. Many prophetic voices have said that Trump was called to be a Cyrus, but, as I stated in a recent blog, Cyrus’ foremost achievement in regard to his calling, was to bless Israel.

What God did not Tell Me

Here is what God did not tell me. He didn’t tell me that hurricanes were coming. At the most, I sensed there was a spirit of confusion released on Trump’s team because he backtracked on Jerusalem. But you have to understand that if God set you up for blessing and you refuse, the opposite is a curse.

Does God Judge?

The fact is, judgement upon nations happened quite frequently in the Bible for the actions of their leaders (see Isaiah 10:5-34 about Assyria). Is the U.S. any different? If there is an earthquake in Damascus, 100 prophecy wonks don’t hesitate to call it judgment, but can God judge America?
God calls Israel the apple of his eye (Zech. 2:8) and has blessed America greatly for favoring her, but  inthe same passage He prophesies judgement on those who touch Israel. What if God called President Trump to do two specific things—things he passionately promised before he was elected—and he disobeys?

A Broken Heart

I recognize that when judgment does come on a nation or any other tragedy that people are hurt and lives are ruined. That should break our hearts. We should do everything to help them. But we must also recognize that the God of the Bible does at times bring judgment on nations.
At the very least, the people of God should be crying out for mercy, repenting of anything we can think of and asking God to hold back his hand. We should appeal to God like the prophets of the Old Testament did. Jeremiah wept and wept, begging God to refrain from judging Israel:
Oh, that my head were a spring of water and my eyes a fountain of tears! I would weep day and night for the slain of my people. (Jer. 9:1)
But in the end, Israel’s sin was too great and God had to judge. There is no place for a theology where God never judges nations. But at the same time, the greatest form of intercession is like Moses, when he said, “But now, please forgive their sin—but if not, then blot me out of the book you have written.” (Ex. 32:32)
There is no joy in judgment. Any prophet who is more excited that he prophesied correctly, than he is devastated over the judgement, does not have the heart of God. If God is judging America—and let’s be honest, weather doesn’t escape his eyes—then we must fall on our face and repent. If it is connected to President Trump’s backtracking on his Jerusalem promises, then we must pray he changes course.

Katrina and Gaza

Hurricane Katrina formed the very day that Israel, under pressure from President Bush (from his Roadmap to Peace), finished forcibly evacuating thousands of Jews from their homes in the Gaza Strip in 2005. Even as these Jews were evacuated from their homes in their own country, thousands of Americans in the south also were evacuated from their cities and towns. President Bush’s mishandling of the event hunts him to this day.
Interestingly, meteorologists claimed that Katrina was small and insignificant. All the models predicted she would stay in the ocean. The aftermath was devastating.

Arafat and Tornados

In March of 1997 Elana and I were at the Ritz Carlton in Washington, DC. It was a gift from a couple I married. We noticed many, many Arabs. I asked what was going on and they said that President Clinton was rolling out the red carpet for Yasser Arafat that weekend. Our president welcomed a man to the White House with not only Israeli, but American, blood on his hands. That same weekend tornadoes ripped through the President’s home state of Arkansas killing 25 people. It should be noted that Clinton criticized Israel for building in East Jerusalem during his time with Arafat.
I could go on…

Confirmation?

And even now, as I am writing in my Tel Aviv rental, I just stopped and heard this in the background on the news. The emir of Kuwait is standing next to President Trump saying:
With respect to the Palestinian question, we have praised the recent U.S. efforts to move the peaceful process, and we affirm the need to join efforts in order to reach a comprehensive and lasting solution to this problem on the basis of a two-state solution and in accordance with the international (inaudible) resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative.
To be clear, the Arab Peace Initiative, means Israel returning to a 8-mile width and suicidal borders, giving East Jerusalem to Palestinians and Hamas terrorists. It is unbiblical. The President responded saying that he would give the “peace process” his best effort.
I humbly submit this to you and am praying for God to send Irma back into the ocean and spare America.  Please pray with me.
PS Whether or not these storms are judgment, we as believers need to express the love of God to those affected by them, through giving, praying and serving. We are Jesus on earth.

What to Do When You Get a Bogus Prophetic Word - JENNIFER LECLAIRE CHARISMA MAGAZINE

What do you do when you hear a bogus word in public?
What do you do when you hear a bogus word in public? (Flickr )
Jennifer LeClaire is now sharing her reflections and revelations through Walking in the Spirit, a new podcast from Charisma. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.

Whether I'm speaking at churches, making intercession at the Awakening House of Prayer at home, or sitting behind my computer, I can count on getting at least one prophetic word every week. It's like clockwork.
That may sound awesome, and it may be if they were accurate. Unfortunately, many of the prophecies that are announced, decreed and declared over my life are absolutely bogus. In other words, these utterances did not emanate from the Spirit of God.
Don't get me wrong. I certainly don't despise prophecy. In a revival setting, I'll prophesy over just about anybody you put in front of me. But I appreciate responsible prophecy—prophecy that the giver has judged before they start announcing massive directional shifts in my life and ministry.
Three Sources of Prophecy
There are three sources of prophecy: the human spirit (Jer. 23:17), a demon spirit (Jer. 23:13) and the Spirit of God (2 Pet. 1:21). I've received prophecy from all three sources, and I can tell you assuredly that I much prefer prophecy from the Spirit of God the best.
Prophecy from someone's human spirit may sound good, but it's not God. It may edify you—or it may flatter you. Flattering prophecies aren't prophecies at all; they are soulish or carnal utterances that seek to manipulate and often release witchcraft against you.

Likewise, prophecy from a demon spirit may sound good, but it's not God. Remember the girl with the spirit of divination in Acts 16:16? She followed Paul and his team around shouting, "These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation." That was true, but it wasn't helpful to Paul's mission. Prophecies from demon spirits breed confusion, fear, jealousy and other ungodly outcomes.
But I'm always ready to receive Holy Spirit-inspired prophecy, which is the testimony of Jesus (Rev. 19:10). A word in due season can edify, comfort and exhort. The right word at the right time can warn us from heading in the wrong direction. Holy Spirit-inspired prophecy aligns with the Word of God because Father doesn't speak with a forked tongue.
When You Get a Bad Word
Every morning when I wake up, I break word curses that are being released over my life. I liken these to the devil's prophetic utterances. I am not being paranoid or rote in this exercise. I can feel the words dangling out there in the spirit realm—and oftentimes I can hear them. Sometimes my email inbox is full of them.
It's easy enough to break word curses in your bedroom. But what do you do when you get a bogus prophetic word in a public setting? What do you say to someone when they race up to you and declare "by the Spirit of God" that you've done so well in your current assignment that God is moving you to another ministry when you know right well that's the opposite of His will?
I write a lot about this topic of judging prophetic words in my book: Did the Spirit of God Say That? 27 Ways to Judge Prophecy. Some questions to ask are: Does the prophecy glorify Jesus? Does the prophecy agree with Scripture? Does the prophecy produce freedom? But again, after you've judged the prophecy to be poor, erroneous, flat out wrong or false, what do you do?
Confronting Poor Prophecy
It's a difficult question to answer because it depends on various factors. Earlier this year, a woman came into Awakening House of Prayer earlier this year out of nowhere, boldly approached me, laid hands on me and started spewing false prophecies about how discouraged I am and how she sees I'm about to give up. Besides the fact that she totally missed it, there was no redeeming value to the word—not edification, exhortation or comfort.
I stood in her face and told her I was rejoicing in the Lord because I was in His perfect will and there was no giving up in me; that I was encouraged to be moving with His heart. I wasn't mean-spirited about it, but I was bold and frank with love. Anybody who is bold enough to walk up to a leader with that type of prophetic nonsense needs to hear the truth in love. It turns out she was a witch who left behind an empty bottle of oil and a cloth as a point of contact. We swiftly destroyed it.
Another time I was at a meeting, one of the congregants came up afterward and prophesied a word so directional that it would have changed every facet of my life. Clearly, the word was massively off base. I did not, however, confront her publicly because it would have crushed her heart. Her heart was right, but her prophecy was off. She was misguided and missing it, but I had no agreement with that word so I just let it fall to the ground.
In other words, there's a time to confront people and teach. There's a time to confront and oppose. There's a time to let it slide and break it off later. And there's a time to pray into a prophetic word that doesn't sound like it could be right but may be. (I got such a word about a year ago that bothered me to the core, and it turned out to be true. My spirit bore witness, but my soul was disturbed until I saw it manifest.)
My advice to you: "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world" (1 John 4:1). If you get a bad word, don't come into agreement with it publicly or privately. Break every word that is not coming from the heart of God and speak what you know to be His will over yourself.

Blessing or Curse - Now Think On This by Steve Martin


Blessing or Curse
- Now Think On This
Steve Martin


"Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse: the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you today; and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside from the way which I command you today, to go after other gods which you have not known.” Deut. 11:26-29 NKJV


The words you speak impact people more than we often realize. An encouraging word sown at the right time to a person wanting and needing some more hope, for their troubling heart or worrisome mind, can change a direction a person is going in, and effect their life beyond the immediate vision. Spoken with a prophetic impact that the Holy Spirit generates, a spoken word at the right time can even mean life or death for that person. It can be as a lifeline thrown out to one needing a pull out of the engulfing water.

A believing life “spoken” to a generation, one that is lived out of obedience to the voice of the Lord and following after Him, will have even more impact on many people; even a generation or more that follows behind. The lives of countless men and women, who heard the call of the Lord, and responded with, “Here I am Lord, Your servant is listening. Do unto me according to Your word,” have been so instrumental in changing nations by their simple obedience, day after decades of days.

In offering themselves in entrustment to His plans and purposes, their families, their communities, their nations were given the opportunity to be in the overflow of the Lord God’s blessing and provision that fell on them, and then flowed from and through them. Hearing and obeying the Father does that.

In our day, leaders in religion, business, media, entertainment, government, arts and education have a tremendous impact on their cultures – the communities, families and all the ones their waves of influence touch, for good or bad. Understanding that our actions will bring either blessing or curse upon those who look to us for guidance, knowingly or unknowingly, will have long lasting, even eternal, effects as a result of our actions. For those who hear and obey the Creator of all - blessings will flow downward. 

Ones who disregard and even despise the natural and spiritual laws put in place to guide and protect, those set forth by God Himself, the resulting just judgment will come forth, now or for sure later. What we sow we will reap. It is a natural and spiritual law that cannot be broken, except to result in bearing bad fruit.

You break the natural and spiritual laws in the universe and they will ultimately break you. (Any argument on that? Just have a reality check look in the nation you abide in.)

This truth has been proven out again and again in history, both in the written Scriptural documentation of the people of Israel, and in every nation which either followed the Lord’s way or opposed His purposes. Blessing or curse is our choice.

Having been a parent myself for over 35 years now, at the time of this writing, and also having served in several top leadership roles in ministry and secular business for over 40 years, I have seen that the actions leadership take will have even more of a lasting effect in a child’s life, or a company’s future, than just words spoken. The ripple of those actions taken at each point show up years later down the road.

It is true that actions do speak louder than words, for what is really in your heart will truly come out, especially in those times when a decisive response is needed in a critical situation. Then it really shows what you have, or don’t have, in your character. Blessing will follow, or a response as a curse will result.

To say it again - how you respond and deal with situations that come your way will be shown, as that which you really are will come out from that which is within. You can’t give out what you don’t have within you. From a pure spring flows pure water. From a cesspool flows accumulated filth.

“The good person produces good things from the store of good in his heart, while the evil person produces evil things from the store of evil in his heart. For his mouth speaks what overflows from his heart.” Luke 6:45 Complete Jewish Bible

“For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within and defile a man.” Mark 7:21-23 NKJV

Speaking to my generation, we have the responsibility, the daily choice to walk in the righteous path we know is the Way, the Truth and the Life. It is black and white. It is already firmly stated in the Lord’s Word. By choosing to follow Him daily, we are impacting the life the next generation will see and then also have the choice to walk in or not. We must do our part if we expect them to do theirs.

We have the option to daily live a righteous and holy life, set apart for the Lord’s purposes. We can choose to “do our own thing, in seeking our own pleasure”, which ultimately will bring a curse on us and the generation that follows, or we can heed the Lord’s word and follow Him.

But if you turn away and forsake My statutes and My commandments which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods and worship them, then I will uproot you from My land which I have given you, and this house which I have consecrated for My name I will cast out of My sight and I will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

"As for this house, which was exalted, everyone who passes by it will be astonished and say, ' Why has the Lord done thus to this land and to this house?' "And they will say, 'Because they forsook the Lord, the God of their fathers who brought them from the land of Egypt, and they adopted other gods and worshiped them and served them; therefore He has brought all this adversity on them.'" 
2 Chronicles 7:19-22 NASB

As it was for Israel, so choices taken will bring the same results in any nation. We must choose the blessing, and not allow the curse to come upon our land. Today, we must choose the Lord.

Why Celebrating Halloween Is Dangerous - Kimberly Daniels

Kid in mask
Should your family celebrate Halloween?
Editor's Note: We realize this article by Kimberly Daniels is controversial. It reflects her own personal views—based on her many years of ministering to people involved in the occult. We have chosen to post another column by Ken Eastburn that offers a different view of Halloween. We welcome our readers to post comments on that article as well. 
Halloween—Oct. 31—is considered a holiday in the United States. In fact, it rivals Christmas with regard to how widely celebrated it is. Stores that sell only Halloween-related paraphernalia open up a few months before the day and close shortly after it ends. But is Halloween a holiday Christians should observe?
The word holiday means "holy day." But there is nothing holy about Halloween. The root word ofHalloween is hallow, which means "holy, consecrated and set apart for service." If this holiday is hallowed, whose service is it set apart for? The answer to that question is very easy—Lucifer's!
Lucifer is a part of the demonic godhead. Remember, everything God has, the devil has a counterfeit. Halloween is a counterfeit holy day that is dedicated to celebrating the demonic trinity of the Luciferian spirit (the false Father), the Antichrist spirit (the false Holy Spirit) and the spirit of Belial (the false Son).
The key word in discussing Halloween is dedicated. It is dedicated to darkness and is an accursed season. During Halloween, time-released curses are always loosed. A time-released curse is a period that has been set aside to release demonic activity and to ensnare souls in great measure.
You may ask, "Doesn't God have more power than the devil?" Yes, but He has given that power to us. If we do not walk in it, we will become the devil's prey. Witchcraft works through dirty hearts and wrong spirits.
During this period, demons are assigned against those who participate in the rituals and festivities. These demons are automatically drawn to the fetishes that open doors for them to come into the lives of human beings. For example, most of the candy sold during this season has been dedicated and prayed over by witches.
I do not buy candy during the Halloween season. Curses are sent through the tricks and treats of the innocent, whether they get it by going door to door or by purchasing it from the local grocery store. The demons cannot tell the difference.
Even the colors of Halloween (orange, brown and dark red) are dedicated. These colors are connected to the fall equinox, which is around the 20th or 21st of September each year and is sometimes called "Mabon." During this season, witches are celebrating the changing of the seasons from summer to fall. They give praise to the gods for the demonic harvest. They pray to the gods of the elements (air, fire, water and earth).
Mother Earth is highly celebrated during the fall demonic harvest. Witches praise Mother Earth by bringing her fruits, nuts and herbs. Demons are loosed during these acts of worship. When nice church folk lay out their pumpkins on the church lawn, fill their baskets with nuts and herbs, and fire up their bonfires, the demons get busy. They have no respect for the church grounds. They respect only the sacrifice and do not care if it comes from believers or nonbelievers.
Gathering around bonfires is a common practice in pagan worship. As I remember, the bonfires I attended during homecoming week when I was in high school were always in the fall. I am amazed at how we ignorantly participate in pagan, occult rituals.
The gods of harvest the witches worship during their fall festivals are the Corn King and the Harvest Lord. The devil is too stupid to understand that Jesus is the Lord of the harvest 365 days a year. But we cannot be ignorant of the devices of the enemy. When we pray, we bind the powers of the strong men that people involved in the occult worship.
Halloween is much more than a holiday filled with fun and tricks or treats. It is a time for the gathering of evil that masquerades behind the fictitious characters of Dracula, werewolves, mummies and witches on brooms. The truth is that these demons that have been presented as scary cartoons actually exist. I have prayed for witches who are addicted to drinking blood and howling at the moon.
While the lukewarm and ignorant think of these customs as just harmless fun, the vortexes of hell release new assignments against souls. Witches take pride in laughing at the ignorance of natural men (those who ignore the spirit realm).
Decorating buildings with Halloween scenes, dressing up for parties, going door to door for candy, standing around bonfires and highlighting pumpkin patches are all acts rooted in entertaining familiar spirits. All these activities are demonic and have occult roots.
The word occult means "secret." The danger of Halloween is not in the scary things we see but in the secret, wicked, cruel activities that go on behind the scenes. These activities include:
  • Sex with demons
  • Orgies between animals and humans
  • Animal and human sacrifices
  • Sacrificing babies to shed innocent blood
  • Rape and molestation of adults, children and babies
  • Revel nights
  • Conjuring of demons and casting of spells
  • Release of time-released curses against the innocent and the ignorant
Another abomination that goes on behind the scenes of Halloween is necromancy, or communication with the dead. Séances and contact with spirit guides are very popular on Halloween, so there is a lot of darkness lurking in the air.
However, Ephesians 1:19-21 speaks of the authority of the believer and the exceeding greatness of God's power in us (the same power that raised Christ from the dead). The passage goes on to say Jesus is seated in heavenly places far above all principalities, power, might, dominions and every name that is named. The good news is that because we are seated in heavenly places with Jesus, the same demonic activity that is under His feet is under our feet too!
People who worship the devil continue to attempt to lift him up. But he has already been cast out and down! Many are blinded to this fact, but the day will come when all will know he has been defeated once and for all.
When we accept Jesus but refuse to renounce Satan and his practices, we are neither hot nor cold but lukewarm—and the Word says God will spit us out of His mouth. The problem with lukewarm is that it attempts to mix the things of the devil with the things of God. It is God's desire that we serve Him alone.
Second Corinthians 6:15 asks the question, "And what agreement has Christ with Belial?" As believers, we need to answer that question in our hearts. We must avoid the very appearance of evil. I would not want a demon spirit to mistake me for an occult worshipper.
There is no doubt in my heart that God is not calling us to replace fall festivals and Halloween activities; rather, He wants us to utterly destroy the deeds of this season. If you or your family members have opened the door to any curses that are released during the demonic fall festivals, renounce them and repent. I already have. Then declare with me: "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!"

Liberation from Curses and Un-kept Vows

This article is for anyone wishing to learn more about ministering deliverance from life’s bondages.  I have used every facet of my gifting to make the complex topic of curses as simple as possible.  That which I have written was adapted from a 3 hour extemporaneous sermon that I recently preached on the Omega Man Radio Show.  The expressions of appreciation from many sectors of the world have been humbling.  I trust it will be helpful for your liberation and for those to whom you minister.

Be blessed and be a blessing,

The mention of curses brings various thoughts to mind. For some, it is 
Hollywood horror films, The Curse of the Mummy and so forth. Others connect 
curses to seasons of bad luck. It is not unusual for people of our day to consider 
curses mere archaic superstition that has no basis in reality. 

The words curse, curses, cursed and cursing are biblical terms that appear 
161 times in the Old Testament and 17 times in the New Testament. There are 
scores of additional references that imply the enactment and effects of curses 
without specifically mentioning the word curse. 

In modern terminology, curses might be described in the following ways: 
Curses are the troublesome penalties brought upon people for persistent sinful 
behavior. A curse is a verbal denouncement capable of inciting troubles for the 
person targeted by the denouncement. Curses are self-induced hardships spawned 
by flippant negative confessions; foolish vows; and un-kept holy vows. Habitual 
sinful behavior in a given area is in itself a curse and the resultant troublesome 
effects that are activated by the sin are also called curses.

This article will cover how un-kept holy vows; foolish vows and flippant
confessions activate self-induced curses. It will also explain the various types of 
curses; how curses are enacted; the evidence of a curse; and most importantly how 
to stop the effects of almost all curses. 

I say almost, because the effects of one particular curse will not completely 
stop until after the Millennial Reign of Christ. It is the Adamic curse that came 
upon all mankind by Adam and Eve’s fall into deliberate sin. 

Adamic Curse

Adam and Eve were created perfect in spirit, soul and body. They were 
designed for God’s pleasure possessing capability to glorify God through worship 
and by enjoyable two-way interactive fellowship with him. God told the first 
couple that if they sinned, the consequential penalty would be death. That was a 
curse with far reaching implication. 

The chief function of the human spirit is to give life to the soul and physical 
body; and to facilitate human capacity to give God pleasure through adoration and 
by mutually enjoyable fellowship between God and man. The curse of death that 
Adam and Eve experienced after eating the forbidden fruit was immediate, but it 
was not instant physical death. Due to the curse of sin contamination, the first couple’s spirits died to the ability to give God pleasure and glory through worship and enjoyable fellowship 
with him. This curse further polluted their souls with a state of habitual inclination 
to sin. That portion of the Adamic curse inserted sensations of soul that reflect 
guilt; anxious fears and angers; and proclivity for emotional upheaval. It initiated 
pain in childbearing along with vocational troubles in tilling the soil and efforts to 
make a living by other means.

Lastly, Adam and Eve’s previously perfect bodies were made subject to 
corruptive influences. These included genetic alteration that cause birth defects; 
sicknesses; and the process of aging that eventuality brings physical death. All of 
the effects of the Adamic curse upon mankind have been carried by the spirits, 
souls and bodies of mankind and transmitted to every generation since.

God’s remedy for all other types of curses is salvation through faith in the 
atoning blood of Jesus. Relief from routine curses can be apprehended by 
repentance from sin and renunciation committal not to sin again; and by confessing 
that the harmful effects of a particular curse have been vaporized by the blood of 
the Lamb. 

Believers can experience suspension of varying aspects of the Adamic curse 
through healing prayer. For them, the entirety of the Adamic curse and the effects 
of any other unresolved curses will end at the Coming of the Lord when they 
receive glorified bodies. During the Millennial Reign of Christ, they alone will 
posses curse-free, glorified bodies. 

However, there will be a remnant of unconverted mankind that will survive 
the end-times. They will live and beget children during the Millennium. Ordinary 
citizens will still be subject to the varying death effects of spirit, soul and body that 
are evidence of the Adamic curse. This will not end until after the Millennial 
Reign when God proclaims that curses are no more. We will speak more about this later when we cover generational curses.

Symptoms of Curses

Here is a list of some commonly experienced curses that are listed in Deut 
28:16-68 after this warning of 28:15 - “But it shall come to pass, if you do not 
obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments 
and His statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come upon 
you and overtake you.”

The harmful effects of Old Covenant curses carry over into the New 
Covenant. However, they are activated by disobedience to New Testament 
principles of behavior rather than by breaking the regulations Old Covenant Laws. 
Confusion and frustration in all you attempt to accomplish (see verse 20)
Defeat by one’s enemies, humiliation at the hand of competitors (see 
verse 25) Groping for reasonable prosperity only to receive disappointing losses (see 
verse 29)

Children ensnared by peer pressures that are contrary to parental values (see 
verse 32)

Chronic sicknesses for which no remedies are found (see verses 35, 59)
Embarrassment about not achieving success levels common with others who 
are afforded similar opportunities and are not more gifted (see verse 37)
Out-of-control indebtedness when income is sufficient to meet all needs (see 
verse 44)

Hostility from spouses toward their mates and children (see verses 54–56)
Homes, businesses and transportation captured by enemies and repossessed
(see verse 63)

Panic attacks, restlessness and insomnia (see verses 65–66)

Dread of day at night, dread of night during the day (see verse 67)

We have all observed Christians as well as the unconverted struggling with 
one or more of the symptoms of the curses listed. It is not uncommon for those 
experiencing the symptoms of curses to battle suicidal thoughts. For many, the 
oppressive circumstances driving them to thoughts of ending their lives are fueled 
by demons within and without.

Overview of Curses

There are seven major categories of curses that have implication in the 
Scriptures. Steps of repentance, renunciation and deliverance from penalties need 
not become repetitive. One or more sessions of physical and emotional healing 
might be required, but that does not indicate that the curse was not deactivated. 

Law of Moses Curses - These curses can fall on anyone born Jewish who 
practices Judaism who is unrepentant about disobedience to any of the Old 
Covenant’s 500+ commands. The curses possible touch every arena of life and are 
listed in Deut 28:15-68. Unfortunately, the penalties can also fall on any 
Messianic Jew or Gentile New Covenant believer who is bewitched and foolish 
enough to reckon that they are responsible to adhere to the Law of Moses.

The remedy is to hide one’s life in the truths of redemption that obliterate 
necessity for adherence to Old Covenant Law. It is permissible to keep various 
Old Covenant ceremonial and dietary laws as a matter of personal preference. 
However, this must not be regarded as a means of righteousness. That puts 
adherents at risk of suffering the curse consequences of breaking the laws beyond 
those of choice preference.

Anti-Semitism’s Curse - Those who curse Jews by demeaning language 
and persecution fall under curses. (Gen 12:3)

Sowing & Reaping Curses – Those who sow the sin of inner judgments 
against others can reap the curse of judgments against them from many people. 
Unforgiveness of man begets the curse of the suspension of God’s forgiveness 
until there is repentant change of attitude. Anyone who plants corruptive practices 
such as sexual sin and actions that damage the human body is apt to reap a harvest 
of corruption. Those who are selfish with their finances cannot expect bountiful 
harvest. Those who sow to the works of the flesh as listed in Gal 5:19-21 will reap 
the penalty of like kind activity against them from others. 

In most cases those who repent are granted divine crop failures for what they 
have sown. However, in circumstances where birth defects are the issue and in 
some instances where physical health has been severely compromised, the crop 
failures do not always materialize.

Curses from un-kept godly vows, flippant vows and silly negative 
confessions – Marriage and baptismal vows should be considered holy. Flippant 
vows would be the likes of, “cross my heart and hope to die.” An example of a 
silly confession is, “I’m so stupid that I can’t ever do anything right.” These are 
very common areas where people invoke the curses spoken against self.

Divorce regrettably happens. Divorcees should repent of their part in 
breaking marriage vows. 

Many people live as though they were never born-again and baptized. Those 
who have not kept the vows stated or implied when immersed in water, must 
repent of and renounce their failures.

Repentance and renunciation of the habit of making flippant vows and silly 
confessions is the cure for the consequences. 

Curses from parental and legitimate authority figures - These are verbal 
denouncements that are taken to heart by young minds and cause them to believe 
lies about their characters and lives. Often these are carried into adulthood. An 
example of this type of curse would be that of a man I know named, Luke.
He came under a lot of work related stress in his early 40s. For over a year, 
Luke experienced panic attacks and accompanying heart attack symptoms. He 
sought medical attention, but it gave no answers. 

The answer came to him in prayer. During his formative years, his mother 
had volatile emotional outbursts. At times, she would scream that she hated Luke 
and wished he had been born dead. He approached his mother about his situation. 
She repented and asked forgiveness. Luke renounced the curse and has not had a 
panic attack since. 

Curses from servants of the Devil – Curses of this genre are rarely 
effective against Christians. That is because a satanic curse cannot fall on anyone 
whom God has not cursed. It cannot happen unless the recipient has in some way 
harbored a sin for which there has been no genuine repentance. God will not 
authorize a curse of this type unless the recipient is engaged in persistent rebellion. 
(Num 23:8, 21, 23)Anyone who has ever received guidance from a fortuneteller and/or dabbled 
in any form of occultism must renounce the activity to liberate their lives from its 
penalties. 

Generational Curses - These are instances where inclination to commit 
particular forms of sin and the consequential penalties pass from one generation to 
the next. Under the New Covenant, generational curses normally manifest where 
children have been directly influenced by a sinful relative. Face to face interaction 
rarely goes beyond two generations back.

The New Covenant is called a better covenant. It is better in that it differs 
from the Old in a wonderful way. Descendants are not held responsible for 
ancestral sins. Believers are new creations in Christ who are forgiven personal sins 
and those of forefathers; and therefore are not subject to the penalties for their
forefather’s transgressions. (Jer 31:29-34; Ezek 18:19-22, 30-32)

There are occasional situations where for unknown reasons aspects of a 
generational curse from a dead relative whom he/she never met can spillover into 
the life of a Christian. The descendant should repent of committing sins like those 
of the ancestor. Then they should specifically name the relative and renounce the 
curse and its consequences that were passed down to them. This can be 
accompanied by expelling demons that incite the sins and whatever types of 
consequential troubles.

The concept of generational curses provokes a deep question: Why would a 
loving God invent such a policy under the Old Covenant? 

It was intended to be a deterrent to disobedience. If a sensitive father 
understands that disobedience can harness his children and grandchildren to 
miserable-go-rounds of sin and the consequences; the father might be more apt to 
live a godly life.

The Adamic Curse & Generational Curses

It is not helpful to give innuendo that life would be free of all curse related 
trials if generational curses were specifically renounced. To varying degrees, 
everyone still has to continually contend with overcoming the curses generated by 
the Fall of Adam. I am making reference to sickness; the effects of aging; 
disruptions in relational harmony; and the like. 

Let us pretend that it is possible to place 10 successive generations of 
paternal and maternal family members in an antiseptic environment. The 
environment is free of all occult contamination; verbal denouncement curses; 
unforgiveness issues; and everything else considered acts of current and ancestral 
sins. 

Even in that event, not a single generation would have guarantee of living a 
life free of incidents of hardship that are routinely attributed to generational curses. No matter how antiseptic an environment is in a spiritual sense; bad things have 
potential to happen. 

This is because in body and soul, even those who possess a new creation 
inner-man of the Spirit, are carriers and transmitters of the Adamic curse. There 
are instances when some aspects of the Adamic curse can be suspended by prayer 
to alleviate suffering. But, it will not be completely eradicated until after the 
Millennium.

Potpourri Statements & Principles

 Christians who concentrate on the dangers of generational curses from 
remote past generations would do well to consider the probability of 
generational forgiveness. I Cor 7:14 says that children are sanctified by the 
faith of just one parent who is a believer. A child can become a circumspect 
believer during the first years of personal sin accountability without ever 
persisting in unrepentant curse spawning sins. The love of God and the 
blood of Jesus at salvation bring forgiveness that covers a multitude of sins. 
This includes the sins and consequential penalties of long past generations. 
If a child born to a born-again parent remains faithful to God from birth 
through adulthood; it is highly likely that they will experience the protection 
of generational forgiveness regardless of the curses on past paternal and 
maternal generations.

 I do not believe that it is spiritually beneficial to suspect a generational sin 
needs to be renounced, unless the consequences of the Adamic curse have 
been ruled out. This would be instances where there are specific signs that a 
Christian is experiencing evidence of a hardship that has intensity unusually 
beyond that routinely experienced by saints and sinners alike.

 The first commandment that has promise is that children should honor their 
parents. This paves the way for them to have long and successful lives. Life 
cannot go well for those who have habitual history of disrespect for their 
parents. (Eph 6:1-2) Mal 4:6 warns that the hearts of fathers must be turned 
toward their children and children toward their fathers, lest the earth be 
smitten with a curse. 

There are segments of our culture where excessive 
percentages of all children are not conceived in wedlock. The fathers 
express no concerns for their children and leave their nurture and sustenance 
to the State. Our suburbs are filled with children whose fathers have 
abdicated fatherhood responsibilities. They try to avoid making even 
minimal child-support payments. In inner-cities and posh neighborhoods, 
there is a vicious cycle of curses fueled by fatherly neglect even with people 
of churchgoing heritage. There is no hope of change for the better until 
fathers turn their hearts toward home. This will encourage children to respect their parents. The curse of children repeating the sins of their fathers 
and suffering the curse penalties will be broken.

 Evil will not depart from the house of those who return evil for good. (Prov 
17:13) This is a curse frequently experienced by Christians who criticize 
members of a former church that they once boasted was of great help. 
Condemning speech is generated when it is the critic’s decision that an 
excuse is needed to hop to another fellowship. Believers must be very 
careful how they handle fellow believers. The Church at large exemplifies 
the wreckage of the lives of members who brought curses upon themselves 
by giving cause for other Christians to question the character of a fellow 
believer. In retrospect, I have been shocked to see the mayhem and 
instances of premature death that can come upon people who are unrepentant 
about breaking this biblical principle. 

 Paul admonished the Corinthian Church that many were weak and sickly 
and that some had died prematurely for disrespecting Holy Communion, the 
Lord’s Supper. This can happen by taking it in a flippant manner soon 
forgetting all that participation implies about living holy lives. Disrespect is 
also exemplified by churches’ infrequent provision of the Eucharist elements 
for believer’s benefit.

 I am not of the opinion that God personally orchestrates every curse 
incident. I believe that the laws of sowing and reaping that God instituted in 
the event of mankind’s fall into sin are the onsite causes for curses.

 The greatest protection against risks of curses of sin and the consequences is 
by having the right attitude about what happens at salvation and subsequent 
water baptism. Identification with Christ in salvation executes the old man 
of sin and produces a new creation in Christ. It says the old me was in 
Christ when he was crucified. 

When he said it was finished and died; that finished sin and curses for me because I died when he died. Identification with Jesus in water baptism symbolizes the burial of the old me and my 
resurrection out of the water as a new creation in Christ. My old nature of 
sin that was subject to curses has been washed down the drain of the 
baptismal font. My old carnal nature is no longer available for seduction by 
the glamour of sin and its consequential curses. You are knocking at the 
door of a new man in Christ whose born-again spirit is incapable of 
generating sins that spawn the troubles associated with curses. That is my 
story and I am sticking to it, so be gone!

Sample Prayer for Divine Crop Failure Intervention

If you have identified fields where you know the seeds of a curse are at 
work; the Lord is willing to grant you divine crop failures. It happens by earnestly 
repenting, confessing any related sins, and by invoking the forgiveness and power of the blood of Jesus Christ. God will cause “crop failures” of curses in the fields 
you have identified.

Here is a sample prayer to help you place that desire before the Lord. It will 
help you express your thoughts to the Lord in a way that will bring His grace and 
help.

Heavenly Father, I come to You in Jesus’ name. I have discovered that I am 
suffering the consequences of denouncements and vows. There are fields within 
my life circumstances that bear the evidences of this. (Name the areas of economic 
and relational stresses and any adverse health conditions, etc.)

Lord, I need for You to intervene on my behalf. I ask for Your help on the 
basis of all that Your Son accomplished for me through His atoning blood. At 
Calvary, He kept His vow of obedience to God’s will. Jesus took all of the 
punishment due me that I might be liberated to enjoy all of the blessings due Him. 
His cleansing blood is Your divine agent to rectify my situation. I declare that His 
blood spoils the cursed harvest that I am experiencing. His blood brings true “crop 
failure” to the consequences of the seeds of curses that were planted in my life.

I declare that I am a new creation in Christ. The denouncements that (name 
the person) uttered against me cannot thrive where Christ’s blood has been applied. 
Due to God’s forgiveness, the vows that I have broken no longer bear witness 
against me. The ill-advised vows that I have made carry no weight in the courts of 
heaven. I thank you that I am forgiven for interweaving flippant vows and antiSemitism into my conversations. 

By Your grace I will not suffer any more consequences. By the authority of Jesus’ name, I command any demonic parasites to leave my soul and body now so that I may be restored to wholeness. So be it in the name of Jesus!

Lord, I humbly accept the truth that Your will for me is spiritual vibrancy, 
mental sharpness, physical health, financial prosperity and relational harmony. 
From this time forward, I know that I will be blessed in all of my endeavors and 
relationships. I thank You, dear Father, for granting me liberation from further 
harvests of any of the seeds of curses that were planted in my life. In Jesus’ name, 
Amen!
