Curses and Redemption: Understanding the Power of Christ’s Deliverance

By Teresa Morin

Galatians 3:13 – “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, ‘Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.’”

---

In a world filled with turmoil, suffering, broken relationships, disease, rebellion, and spiritual bondage, many are unknowingly living under curses. Some of these are inherited generationally, while others result from disobedience or involvement in spiritual darkness. But there is hope—and His name is Jesus Christ. Understanding curses, their root, and how we are redeemed through Christ is a vital aspect of spiritual growth and freedom.

What Is a Curse?

A curse is a supernatural force that brings harm or judgment. In Scripture, a curse is often the consequence of sin or rebellion against God. Deuteronomy 28 outlines blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience. Curses affect individuals, families, nations, and even the land. When we go against God’s commandments, it opens the door for spiritual consequences—these are the very things Christ came to redeem us from.

Christ Redeemed Us from the Curse

Galatians 3:13 is a foundational verse that declares Jesus Christ's victory over every curse. By hanging on the cross, Jesus bore the full weight of the law’s penalty on Himself. The law was good and holy (Romans 7:12), but humanity, in its fallen state, could not fulfill it. Instead of abolishing the law, Jesus fulfilled it perfectly and took the curse upon Himself.

His death satisfied the justice of God. He became sin (2 Corinthians 5:21), endured the wrath of God, and made a way for humanity to be free from the curse of the law. No more temple sacrifices. No more striving to keep hundreds of ceremonial laws. Through Him, we might have life and life more abundantly (John 10:10)—but it’s conditional. Redemption is available, but we must walk in obedience and faith.

The Curse Will End

Revelation 22:3 gives us a glimpse of the future: “And there shall be no more curse.” This is God’s ultimate plan—for the curse to be entirely broken and removed. But until that day comes, we are in a battle, not just with the flesh, but with spiritual forces of darkness.

Spiritual Warfare: A Present Reality

Ephesians 6:12 reminds us: “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers...” We are in a spiritual war. Curses often manifest because demonic spirits have been given legal rights through sin, idolatry, bitterness, or involvement in the occult. They operate under spiritual law and exploit areas of disobedience.

Many people do not realize that unforgiveness, pride, rebellion, or sexual immorality can open doors to these curses. These spiritual consequences are not broken simply by good behavior—they are broken by repentance, submission to God, and resisting the devil (James 4:7).

The Heart of the Matter: James 4:1–10

James 4 exposes the true cause of strife and bondage: our lusts and pride. “Ye ask and receive not, because ye ask amiss...” Many believers want freedom, healing, and peace, but they do not surrender fully to God. The Bible makes it clear: “Friendship with the world is enmity with God.”

If we are dabbling in worldly ways, embracing sin, or justifying compromise, we remain in bondage. The curse cannot be broken while we’re still in agreement with darkness. James calls us to humble ourselves, cleanse our hands, and purify our hearts. This is the pathway to lifting the curse and walking in the blessing.

Jesus Christ: The Unchanging Lawgiver

Jesus declared that He did not come to abolish the law, but to fulfill it (Matthew 5:17). Hebrews 13:8 affirms: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” Paul, in 1 Corinthians 10:4, confirms that Jesus was the spiritual Rock in the wilderness with Moses—He was the God of the Old Testament.

The same God who gave commandments at Sinai is the One who walked among us in the flesh. He has not changed His nature, His commandments, or His standards. What has changed is our access. Through His blood, we no longer need animal sacrifices, but the call to holiness remains.

The Law and the Curse

The law defines sin. It was our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ (Galatians 3:24). When we understand the law, we know the seriousness of sin. The curse is not the law itself—the curse is the consequence of breaking it. Jesus didn’t abolish the moral law. Instead, He made a way for us to be forgiven, cleansed, and empowered to obey through the Holy Spirit.

When we disobey God’s laws—whether they are about idolatry, unforgiveness, sexual immorality, or rebellion—we open ourselves to curses. But when we come to Jesus in repentance and truth, He breaks those curses. His blood speaks better things than the blood of Abel (Hebrews 12:24).

Walking in Victory Over Curses

To walk in victory, we must:

1. Repent of known sin – Ask the Holy Spirit to search your heart.

2. Forgive others – Bitterness gives Satan legal access.

3. Renounce any occult involvement – Including New Age, witchcraft, or ancestral practices.

4. Break agreements with darkness – Through prayer and declaration in Jesus’ name.

5. Submit to God – Full obedience invites blessing and protection.

6. Resist the devil – He has no power over a surrendered believer.

Conclusion: The Curse Is Not Final

Yes, curses are real. They operate through spiritual law and are often hidden in our lives until the Holy Spirit reveals them. But the good news is that Jesus became a curse for us. He broke the power of sin and death. He made a way where there was no way. Revelation promises a day when every curse will be gone forever, but even now, we can walk in freedom if we choose submission and obedience.

Let us not be casual with sin, ignorant of spiritual warfare, or careless with God’s commandments. Jesus loves us enough to free us from every curse, but we must love Him enough to obey His Word—Old and New Testament alike.

Satan's 7 High Ranking Principalities Of Hell Taught To Witches

"Thus, with great hesitancy, I list the seven high-ranking, major principalities of Hell that are taught to witches. To give you a clear understanding of possessions and who causes them and why, they [the demonic beings] must be listed ..."

1) "Rege -- He is the General of the occult. He directs the use of such drugs as marihuana, hashish, cocaine, speed, LSD, peyote, and mescaline. These are drugs of sorcery. They attack the mind and open it up for a demon to enter. Rege is also responsible for seeing that music is hexed."
Of great interest is the name of the lesser marijuana demon who reports directly to Rege. His name is 'Jah', and he is considered the 'god of marijuana' by many practicing occultists. Listen to this quote from John Lennon, the founder of the Beatles.

 
"During the recording session for Revolver, The Beatles worked on the track 'Rain' which would eventually be released as a single. It contained recording history's first use of reversed music and voices. While working on the song, John, high on marijuana, accidentally loaded the tapes backward, resulting in a sound that 'transfixed' him. He called the inspiration 'the gift of God - of Jah, the god of marijuana. Jah gave me that one. The first backward tape on any record anywhere." (The Lennon Prophecy: A New Examination of the Death Clues of the Beatles."

 
My research into the occult has revealed to me that the "opening of one's mind to higher levels of consciousness" is absolutely critical to the development of that person to the higher levels of the occult. And, such "opening of one's mind" is absolutely dependent upon taking drugs. Therefore, we should see the tremendous problem of people taking drugs in a widespread and unprecedented manner. Do we see such a problem in today's news?

 
As far as today's popular music being hexed, I believe it. Space and time do not permit me to go into detail on this point; however, I simply submit to you here that people being trained in witchcraft are told that popular music, especially that targeted for teens and pre-teens, is hexed for maximum occultic effect.


2) "Larz -- Demon of Sexual lust, homosexuality, bi-sexuality, adultery, and other such sexual pleasures." Again, our daily news is filled with sex and sexual perversions. Pornography, both "hardcore" and softcore," can be found in any small to large town and city throughout our land. Our TV airwaves are absolutely full of movies and sitcoms that liberally use sex to entice people to watch. Our prisons are full of people convicted of all sorts of sexual crimes, from rape to child molestation. Video stores are seemingly on everywhere, most of which feature large 'Adults Only' 'XXX-Movies'. The Internet is crawling with such "Adult Only" pornography.

 
Larz is enjoying more tremendous success in America than ever in our nation's history. One of his greatest American successes has to be the legitimizing of homosexuality and bi-sexuality. When a person is invited to become a witch, he or she is first "treated" to a great big party, where alcohol and drugs flow freely, and sex is available to anyone who wants it, whichever way they want it. Alcohol, drugs, and wild, raunchy sex all serve the same purpose: to sever the person's old value system and conscience from their current lifestyle. Sex is also very critical to witchcraft. At its base is the fulfillment of Romans 1:25-29, especially verse 25, where people are worshipping the creature [sex] rather than the Creator. And Paul makes it quite clear, in verses 26-29, that this perversion of accurate worship results in all types of uncleanness and sexual perversity. We should expect to see an obsession with sex throughout our society.

3) "Bacchus -- Demon of addictions, such as drugs, smoking, and alcohol." Satan loves to capture a person in some sort of addiction, for then it is much easier to control that person for his diabolical, perverted ends. We absolutely do see these types of addictions plaguing America today. I am sure that no one hooked on cigarettes ever thought they were a victim of the workings of the demon, Bacchus, working to achieve the New World Order! Yet, it is true. We do see a literal plague of these types of addictions. And, yes, Rege and Bacchus can and do work very closely together to maximize their respective areas of responsibility and their army of demons.

4) "Pan -- Demon of the mind. He causes mental illnesses, depression, suicide, nerves, and rejection". Have you noticed that when a person becomes depressed or feels rejected, he'll turn to drugs or something else that will eventually become addictive? You see how one demon will cause you to go to another? Pan causes you to become depressed, so you go to Rege, the demon of the occult and drugs, and he, in turn, sends you to Bacchus, the demon of addiction. It's all one big circle in which they try to keep you trapped forever. I wonder if Dr. Jack Kevorkian is knowingly in league with Pan?

 
This type of cooperation between the various demonic leaders and their fiefdoms really strikes a chord with me in America today. We have millions of Americans caught in more than one addiction! The social consequences are severe and spiritually deadly. American society is being prepared to accept the Satanic Antichrist and his perverted, twisted society. Can you not see, through the daily news, how close we are?

5) "Medit -- Demon of hate, murder, killing, war, jealousy, envy, and gossip." This sounds like our TV Soap Operas, both daytime and night, does it not? This demon is also unbelievably active in our society today, filling our daily news with murder and mayhem. I am sure that the activists who are fighting domestic abuse and violence never contemplated that they may be fighting a demonic host. Again, when this demonic division cooperates with the divisions promoting addiction, drugs, alcohol, mental illness, and the like, you get the most influential group of problems of a disastrous nature!

6) "Set -- Demon of Death. There really IS such a thing." Wars, terrorism, and murder are raging throughout the world. This Twentieth Century has been the most violent and bloody in world history. Almost all the massive genocides have occurred this century. The return of Israel to her land started the End of the Age time clock ticking, also in this century. This demon marches with the armies of this world, the guerillas in the jungles, and the inner city gangs. This demon lurks in the darkness of night, waiting to strike without warning, mercy, or reason. "Set" is his name; Death is his game.

7) "Christian Demon" -- This particular demon has no set name. He is so powerful that most witches won't even bother him and gets Christians to talk about each other through gossiping and causing strife within the church and among the brethren ... He will also try to weaken a Christian's walk with the Lord by making him content, fail to live up to church commitments, such as tithing, soul-winning, church participation, and much more."

Could the persistent activities of this demon be responsible for the "Apostasy" of the Christian Church? Since 1948, the year Israel was returned to her land, was also the time of the creation of the Ecumenical World Council of Churches and our own National Council of Churches. New Age authors are quite bold in saying that these movements are essential in uniting the world's religions into the coming New World Order Religion of The Christ. 

I have consistently concluded that the Christian Churches hold THE key to the appearance of the Antichrist. As long as we firmly held the Truth of the Gospel, refusing to compromise, Antichrist could not appear. But, soon after Christian Churches began to drift away from essential doctrines and compromise the Truth of the Gospel, we should expect to see the forces of the Antichrist charging forward. Indeed, this scenario is occurring today. Congratulations, Liberal Christian leaders! You have just opened the door for Antichrist!!

Now that you know the 7 primary divisions of Hell and what each division is responsible for making happen on Earth, can you better understand what is happening in our world today -- in our daily news -- and why it is happening? Are you spiritually ready? 

Is your family? Are you adequately protecting your loved ones? This is the reason for this posting: to enable you to first understand the peril facing you and then help you develop strategies to warn and protect your loved ones. Once thoroughly trained, you can also use your knowledge to open the door of discussion with an unsaved person. I have been able to use it many times and have seen people come to Jesus Christ as a result. These perilous times are also when we can reach many souls for Jesus Christ, making an eternal difference.
