What Are Curses

What are Demonic Curses

Why do we need to break curses


What Are Curses, Generational Curses, and How Sin or Disobedience Brings About a Curse - Understand breaking curses and breaking generational curses.

Christian Warfare


spiritual warfare teachings


In Revelation 22:3 "And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:"


Ephesians 6:12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.


James 4:1-10. From whence come wars and fightings among you? Come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? 2 Ye lust, and ye have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. 4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Therefore, whoever will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. 5 Do you think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? 6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. 7 Submit yourselves, therefore, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.


Jesus said if you love me you will obey my commandments....he also said that He changes not. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Paul said that Jesus is the God of the Old Testament...He gave the Law to Moses, He was the pillar of fire and the cloud in the desert....so if He was the God of the Old Testament and Jesus said (in the NT) that He does not change, and if we love Him we would obey His commandments....that would be the OT commandments too. He didn't come to do away with the Law, He came to fulfill it.....that we MIGHT have life. (No sacrifices required, He did it for us....)


If we have faith and obedience to the voice of God and His word, then a curse causeless cannot come. Proverbs 26:2 "As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come." Curses are evil spirits manifestating in sickness and disease, torment, etc. Curses don't just come randomly. There has to be an open door generationally or through sin or disobedience.


There are people who cast spells on anyone. Again a curse causeless cannot come unless there is an open door to give the curse (evil demonic spirits) legal right to you body, soul or spirit. If that has been the case and you were the intended recipient, all you have to do is say: "I don't receive this in my life in the name of Jesus." If you have been prey to the spell and have knowingly or unknowingly participated with the sin, repent of this, renounce it, and cancel the assignment, in the name of Jesus.



List of curses from disobedience and sin in Deuteronomy 27 and generational curses from forefathers who participated in these sins listed below:



Make and worship images: 15 Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an abomination unto the LORD, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and putteth it in a secret place. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen.



The contempt of parents: 16 Cursed be he that setteth light by his father or his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen. The contempt of parents is a sin so heinous that it is put next to the contempt of God himself. If a man abused his parents, either in word or deed, he fell under the sentence of the magistrate, and must be put to death, Ex. 21:15, 17. Today, confession of sin and doing a 180 turn cancels the death penality of death.



Moving land boundaries: 17 Cursed be he that removeth his neighbour's landmark. And all the people shall say, Amen.



Not taking care of the blind: 18 Cursed be he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way. And all the people shall say, Amen. Seducing others from the way of God s commandments, and entice them to sin, bring this curse upon themselves, which our Saviour has explained, Mt. 15:14, The blind lead the blind, and both shall fall into the ditch.



Not taking care of the widow and fatherless: 19 Cursed be he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger, fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen.



Sleeping with father's wife: 20 Cursed be he that lieth with his father's wife; because he uncovereth his father's skirt. And all the people shall say, Amen.



Perverted sex with animals: 21 Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of beast. And all the people shall say, Amen.



Incest is a cursed sin: 22 Cursed be he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen.



Sex with Mother in Law: 23 Cursed be he that lieth with his mother in law. And all the people shall say, Amen.



24 Cursed be he that smiteth his neighbour secretly. And all the people shall say, Amen.



25 Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen.



26 Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen.



If you have any of these sins from this partial list and have not repented from them, then you are living under a curse. If your forefathers have participated in the above sins, this will also bring about a curse but also these spirits will try to work on you to open the same door. That is what generational curses are - repeating the same sins. You will feel the pull to do the same if you are aware. For example, a father was an alcoholic and that same spirit will try to program you to be the same. Sometimes, as children, we make a vow to never be like a parent and that sets the curse into motion.



Results of Curses from disobedience and direct participation in sin or not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God



List of curses directly from a result of disobedience listed in Deut. 28:15 - 68:



15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:



16 Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.



17 Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store.



18 Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.



19 Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out.



20 The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me.



21 The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it.



22 The LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish.



23 And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron.



24 The LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed.



25 The LORD shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.



26 And thy carcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away.



27 The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed.



28 The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart:



29 And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee.



30 Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof.



31 Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them.



32 Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long; and there shall be no might in thine hand.



33 The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway:



34 So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.



35 The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head.



36 The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone.



37 And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee.



38 Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in; for the locust shall consume it.



39 Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them.



40 Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for thine olive shall cast his fruit.



41 Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity.



42 All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume.



43 The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low.



44 He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.



45 Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:



46 And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.



47 Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;



48 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.



49 The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;



50A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young:



51 And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee.



52 And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the LORD thy God hath given thee.



53 And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee:



54 So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave:



55 So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates.



56 The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter,



57 And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.



58 If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD;



59 Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.



60 Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.



61 Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.



62 And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God.



63 And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.



64 And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.



65 And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:



66 And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:



67 In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.



68 And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by way of which I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.


This list above is a good way to examine your life in light of what could be in your generations. If you see evidence of any of these happening, take the time to repent and renounce them from your generation and, if necessary, yourself.


Deliverance from evil spirits, breaking curses or breaking generational curses by casting out demons. Curses result from sin or disobedience, and generational cures result from sins or disobedience from our forefathers, so a Christian must resist the devil.


The way to break a curse is to repent for whatever involvement has occurred on the enemy's territory and rebuke the devil out of your life. You should also pray something along the following lines:



"Father, I ask you first to forgive me for my sins and cleanse me from any area where I have allowed the devil to enter my life. I renounce any involvement with the works of darkness. In the name of Jesus, I now cancel every curse, and Father, I ask you to forgive the people who have spoken against me. I thank you that those curses will no longer operate against me. In Jesus' name, they are broken right now by the power of Almighty God. I cancel every evil spoken against me and ask you to protect me and my family according to your Word in Psalm 91."

Silva Mind Control

Silva Mind Control 


(Silva Method)*Christian or New Age Mind Cult?
The Silva Method (formerly Silva Mind Control [SMC]) was developed by José
Silva. Over six million students in 71 countries have taken the Silva
International courses (formerly Silva Mind Control International). (One
Silva's goal is to have the Silva Method course taught to all
school children in grade school and college.) He claims that anyone taking his 48-hour (four-day) course will develop psychic powers. A student is shown how to enter an altered state of
consciousness and, in that state, is taught how to tap into "higher intelligence in the universe." The student is taught how to function psychically and clairvoyantly and invites counselors, or psychic guides, into his mind to help him with his problems. By the third day of the course, students are supposed to be able to operate psychically enough to project their awareness outside of their bodies, i.e., have out-of-body experiences. Their minds are believed to be able to tap into any source in the universe for information, including the minds of other men, alive or dead.

Silva's Method uses visualization and guided imagery quite heavily; both
have long been recognized by sorcerers as the most
powerful and effective methodology for contacting the spirit world to acquire supernatural power, knowledge, and healing. This sort of thing has been going on throughout history. It's known as "shamanism" or witchcraft. Yet, Silva claims that God sent Jesus to teach us all 
this!

Obviously, the Silva Method is little more than a New Age psychological
mind control technique rather than a cultic system of teaching with
readily identifiable followers. Nevertheless, it does have spiritual
underpinnings (see Silva's book Keys to the Kingdom), and it considers itself Christian in many ways. Below are the highlights of what Silva Mind Control/Silva Method teaches concerning its source of authority, Christ, sin, salvation, the Holy Spirit, and prayer:

1. Source of Authority. The authority for the Silva Method student is José
Silva and his official publication, THE SILVA METHOD.

2. Jesus Christ. The Silva Method teaches that Jesus did miracles in
the same way that the Silva Method teaches its students. The Bible
teaches that Jesus was not doing miracles by mind over matter. He did them by the power of His Father. Silva's Method fails to differentiate between
the miraculous, genuine supernatural power of God and that which man
attributes to his own mind, which is nothing more than the usurping of the
authority of God and trying to be little gods themselves.

Silva Method also teaches that "Rabbi Jesus was assigned by Almighty
God of the Universe to Planet Earth to teach humanity, in a step-by-step
procedure, how to look for and find what is called the kingdom of God
within us all. ... Jesus came to give us a message to correct the
problem of human development on this planet because Moses didn't do it and
Noah didn't do it, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob didn't ... Zoroaster, Krishna,
Buddha, Mohammed didn't do it. So Jesus finally came to straighten out
their mess and problem ..." Silva says that Jesus said that we are to go
into an alpha state (an altered state of consciousness) with our spirit
guides, thus gaining the psychic powers necessary to correct the human
situation. (Silva also says, "Jesus is not coming back, so we've got to
do it. But He gave us the keys; He gave us the message. Look inside;
find this power; you've got the power, and you can make Earth 'paradise
earth.'")

3. Sin. Silva denies original sin and sees only "problems to be
solved." Silva teaches that the present is a process of materializing
thoughts, while the future is composed of conceived thoughts not yet
materialized. He talks about being able to prophesy, a process of projecting into
thought patterns to see if we can detect information that can help us
solve problems. According to the Silva Method, this information is for
no other thing than for solving problems -- "to make this planet a
better world to live in. ... if you get information to solve problems, where
people are suffering, and you do alleviate that suffering and you
correct the problem, who cares where the information comes from? The idea is
to get it any way you can to stop a problem and forget everything else."
Silva's done away with the blood of Jesus Christ; he's done away with the
sacrificial death of Christ for our sins. According to the Silva
Method, it's not a sin problem anymore; it's ignorance!

4. Salvation. Since Silva believes that we have been sent to the planet
to solve problems (i.e., "to convert this planet into a paradise"),
salvation is earned by one's success in problem-solving. The emphasis is
one of total pragmatism. But just the fact that one is solving problems
does not answer whether an activity is right or pleasing to God. "Positive" results can occur through the occult or psychic worlds.

Being "born again" also has a unique meaning for Silva Method
practitioners: "When we enter the kingdom of heaven, once there, we become
centered and have access to the use of the right brain hemisphere ... This
would truly be the concept of being born again ... being 'born again.'
means, 'Go back and retrace your steps and use the right
brain hemisphere like you did when you were born.' ... when you
use both brain hemispheres, that is really being born again."
Silva sums up what salvation is not in the Silva Method: "Somebody who
died 1,900 years ago or 2,000 years ago, his blood cleansing us from sin
and so forth, that doesn't help solve problems today." Salvation for
Silva leads the lost away from the sacrifice of Christ for their sins
upon the cross. They don't need that anymore. All they require is alpha in
the right brain.

The message of the Silva Method is one of complete rejection of the
redemptive work of Jesus Christ upon the cross, i.e., a claim that we have
power within us. Silva overlooks the central problem of evil in the
human heart, the sinful nature of man, to which Jesus specifically said, "I
come not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance." One hears no
repentance from Silva, no acknowledgment of any real guilt. Instead,
it's just something that's a state of mind that you can get rid of by
going into your alpha level.

5. Holy Spirit. In the Silva Method, the Holy Spirit is a "dimension
that we can create -- a state of mind to enter it and make use of it for
problem-solving situations. ... We were sent to do a work for God --
help God with creation in thinking of His creatures."

Rather than the Holy Spirit as Counselor, on the third day of Silva
Method training, students are asked to pick two counselors. The lecturer
explains how to invoke them. In the last session, during meditation,
two counselors appear in the laboratory of the student's mind and are available from that point on whenever the student needs them.
 
Silva says that you consult your counselors anytime you find yourself with a problem and 
do not know what to do next: "They are here
to do the work for you; they are here to help you evolve ... become ...
as good as they are, whoever they are." This, of course, is spiritism;
and the nature of spiritism is ultimately demonic. One can hear the
same things from mediums and spiritists who talk to their advisors or
their spirit guides or counselors, all of which is prohibited by Scripture
(cf. Deut. 18).

6. Prayer. For Silva, praying is psychic -- the use of mind: "... we're
praying; we're using psychic systems to pray, to visualize ... imagine
what's to happen, and believe that you already have it and you shall
receive it." (Sounds like the "name-it-and-claim-it" teaching of the
Positive Confession movement.)
