The Curse Is Not Greater Than The Blessing. Part 1

When I make the statement “The curse is not greater than the blessing.” What is the first thing that comes to your mind? When I hear something like that, I begin to think about the myths that have been going around concerning curses. The second thing that comes to mind is that it’s time for these myths to be dealt with. Any minister who is worth his or her salt and has been preaching for any length of time has had to deal with these myths at one point or another. This includes a few ministers who have been unknowingly spreading these curses as well as those who have been deliberately brainwashing their flocks into thinking this is the normal way to think and live our lives.

The Bible tells us that in the last day’s ministers will be teaching doctrines of demons and when a minister tells his or her flock that they have to be placed under curses, or that when a curse is placed on them then there is nothing they can do about it, then that certainly falls under the heading of “Doctrines of Demons.”

Just when I think the body of Christ has learned about these myths and begun to move away from them, some (supposedly well intentioned) minister starts the rumor mill all over again. Not long ago I was appalled to hear a minister say “No Christian has any power over the enemy,” right after that he said “trying to do Spiritual Warfare is useless, because the only time we are supposed to try to wage a war against Satan, is when Jesus makes a special appearance to tell us we have some sort of special faith to do so.” But there is something that you need to hear, right now. In fact every Christian must realize this if they are ever going to enjoy the freedom Christ paid for; the Curse is not greater than the Blessing.

You see the Blessing is based on God’s Word, and God’s Word is not an opinion from man; it is infallible. Meaning it will never fail you if you follow it completely. The Scriptures are plain and we must follow them in order to have what they promise. However when we refuse to follow the Word, there are promises that God has which you don’t want to see come to pass in your life; but we’ll get into that more in a moment.

Some might find this hard to believe, but there are people who believe that a Curse is so powerful that it can destroy the whole life of the believer, no matter what the believer does. But that is a lie straight from the devil’s mouth, it’s meant to cause fear. The devil uses this fear to manipulate and control the life of anyone who will believe this lie.

These messages will cover a few basic questions that people seem to be constantly asking. Questions such as: Can a curse affect a believer? Should we be afraid of curses? What is the idea behind generational curses, what is the truth about them, and how do they affect us, if they actually do. That and more to be covered later.
