Holy, holy, holy, holy, holy is our God. Holy, holy. We join with the living creatures that are continually, even at this moment, saying holy, holy, holy, holy is our God.
We worship you. Cleanse us from our sins. We confess our sins.
Cleanse us. Free us from unrighteousness. Keep us through you, through your blood. Keep us holy in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Amen. You may be seated.
Lord, you're welcome here tonight. So we've spent a fair amount of time talking about, you know, the cursed realm. And tonight I want to wrap up the thing on curses, so we're going to hold questions and answers till the end, so we don't get sidetracked and we don't make it again.
But last week we had something different going on on Tuesday night. And as you'll notice what happened last week, deliverance is done differently by different people. And the deliverance that was done last week was more just grab it by the horns and force it out.
And that's okay if that's how God uses the person. There's a movie that I guess had played once already. It's going to play again. I wanted to show you the trailer of that because this kind of shows how they do deliverance. So just go ahead and run that. And then we can chat about it a little bit after you're done.
God used controversy. He used CNN. He used the media. He used all of it to grow a massive size platform. Controversy built our platform. Never about the controversy. It was never about the politics. I thought it was. I thought it was about Trump. I thought it was about COVID. But God built our platform for deliverance.
We are headed more into same prophecy fulfilled before our very eyes.
There's a kingdom of righteousness and there's a kingdom of darkness.
Something in our being craves something supernatural.
If you're addicted to something, you have company.
And he said in the last days, the church will give heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons. They will begin to listen to demonic doctrines.
He doesn't mind you going to church. He doesn't mind you praising as long as you don't change.
There's a great awakening that is coming.
The kingdom of God is not about talk. Jesus is king.
It's about power and demonstration.
State of the church in the United States, I believe, needs a reawakening of deliverance because of the evil that's going around.
Christians can be under the influence of satanic oppression. 100% they can.
You see, redemption and salvation is for the lost.
Deliverance is to set the captives free.
The word of God says, these signs shall follow them that believe.
The point of the enemy is to keep the church quiet.
Deliverance is for the people of God.
Deliverance is for the church.
I'm here to call this culture to Jesus Christ and cast out demons.
Because these signs shall follow them that believe in my name. They shall cast out devils.
It says in theaters March 13th, I think it's a one night thing going to be in Elk River on the 10th, if I'm not mistaken.
So you just have to look. It's not playing consecutively at just different cities.
It's a one night thing here and there. I haven't seen it yet.
But there's an example of, you know, they just start manifesting in a service.
So you got to deal with it.
And, you know, if they'd manifest in a service, then we deal with it that way.
I prefer not to have to just force them out.
I prefer to do it differently.
But our preference isn't always there.
And sometimes you got to do what you got to do.
But I just remind everybody that different people have different...
However God wants to use them, they have different styles of deliverance.
Don't get critical of somebody if he does it differently.
Well, I've never seen it done like that before.
Well, that's fine. As long as it's working, who cares?
You know, there isn't a specific way.
So, let's, before we jump into this, let's do one little reminder here.
If you could take us to that first slide, number 16, I think it is.
There it is. And just kind of remind us.
The term curse is a descriptive term more than a thing or a living entity.
A lot of times people feel like it's almost like it's alive and the curse just gets on you.
And you've got to be careful because it can jump off of somebody onto you.
That's all fear, that there's no truth to that.
Curses come and land through one thing, us submitting to some form of disobedience.
So, it's describing what happens when the power of sin and the flow of darkness operates in our life.
If we get into disobedience, bad things start happening.
Those bad things are called curses.
It comes as a result of our choices and actions.
It's not just a thing that gets on you like a demon.
It does not work that way.
A curse cannot come to rest undeservedly.
We read that scripture already.
And then the term blessing is just the opposite.
It's a scripture of term that talks about what happens in our life when we get into God's flow
into his realm, operate under obedience.
So, with that in mind, and everybody has to decide for themselves.
And we talked about this some, I just want to close this.
You have to decide for yourself because if you don't decide for yourself, it won't be faith.
Faith is being sure. We have to be sure.
We can't have faith in somebody else's sureness.
We have to be sure of what we're believing.
So, have you come to grips?
And you don't have to answer this.
I want you to think about it.
Have we come to grips with the reality that there's no middle ground?
Either it's blessing or it's curse.
Either it's from God's kingdom or it's from the kingdom of darkness, from the devil's kingdom.
And the thing I think that people struggle the most with that is like accidents or injuries or mishaps.
We tend as Christians to put them in a neutral realm.
They are not. They cannot go into a neutral realm.
Somehow we open the door and let it in.
So, I thought, okay, well, I better, you know, because I saw people blinking at me.
And I know some people, it's, you know, depending upon what you have had happen in your past,
it can be a hard thing to say, really, that was the demonic realm?
I didn't think that was the demonic realm.
And so I thought, well, I'm going to go to my AFCM leadership and go to the people above me.
And let's make sure we're right.
Because I had someone say to me, they said, I have never heard anybody divided out where it's either blessing or it's curse.
It's, it's, there's always a middle ground where it's kind of neutral, where you're doing okay as a Christian,
bad things just happen, da da da da da da, but you're fine as a Christian.
That's how ministers speak.
And I've never heard it laid out like, no, either this thing is of the kingdom of darkness or it's of God.
And to me, it makes perfect sense in scripture.
So I thought, well, let's ask.
Let's, if we're wrong, we still got some time we can come back here and say, hey, we're wrong.
Let's rethink this, look at it differently.
So I did went to the leadership and, and, and talked to him and said, okay, so here's what I'm into.
And I described what I was saying, you know, you've got the original only was God's flow, then Satan sinned or Lucifer sinned.
And then now you had two choices.
And that has come down to today.
And the, the curses actually started when they got in the human race with Adam and Eve and kind of just explained everything we talked about and said,
so here's, here's where I'm landing. Here's how I'm seeing it.
And I need you to tell me if I'm right or wrong.
And I explained the whole thing to him.
And the answer was this.
They said, Oh, absolutely. There's no middle ground.
You can't have middle ground.
That does not show up in scripture at all.
It's either the result of God's kingdom operating, which we call that blessing.
Or it's the result of the kingdom of darkness operating and God in somehow and we call that curses.
Now, this is some of the stuff they added and I thought, well, that's good. Let me repeat this.
This might help clarify some things.
Too often we as Christians tend to forget we are living in a fallen cursed system.
This system we're living in, in the world is still under the prince and the power of the air.
It is still under the curse.
Now through Jesus, we can by faith live above that curse.
But the curse is still here.
Everything that was announced to Adam, none of it has left to Adam and Eve.
That's all active. That's all still here.
The curse is still very much alive and well on earth.
We just have been given the ability to live above it.
It's like we're the fish swimming upstream when everything else is going downstream.
And we've been given the ability to do that.
And we have to understand, number one, that if you just go with the...
And I'm talking what they told me now. This was their description.
If you just go with the system of the world and just go with the flow,
you're going to be operating under the curse of the world.
And we have to take responsibility as Christians.
And this was emphasized, Brad emphasized this real strongly.
He said, Christians don't like to take the responsibility for their daily Christian walk.
We just say, and we're just hanging out and doing our thing.
And we could be doing all kinds of stuff either wrong or in the natural thinking,
which is also wrong.
You don't have wrong thinking, demonic thinking, natural thinking,
and God thinking or Holy Spirit thinking.
There is no middle ground.
Natural or flesh thinking is the same as demonic thinking.
Because we don't live by the flesh. We live by the spirit,
or at least we're supposed to.
And we don't take responsibility like we need to.
So this was kind of their conclusion.
You know, somehow the enemy and we all have had it happen
and there's no shame in it happening because our goal is to live by faith,
which overcomes the world.
Our faith overcomes the world.
So our goal is to live by faith and overcome the world.
There's times it doesn't work out exactly the way we want it to.
Or the way the scripture says it could.
There's no shame in that.
We can either get focused on the one or two times we failed,
or we can focus on the 189 million times we didn't.
You know, Pennsylvania, what you want to focus on?
There is so much in the average Christian's life
that is going upstream to the world.
Focus on the things God's doing.
Versus the other.
But the thought was this.
Most of the time, the enemy or the demonic realm
gains an advantage over us for this reason.
And of course, I said, okay, so the way I see it is
you can have generational stuff,
which they're kind of just laying weight for you to get you.
You can have personal sin stuff or that realm.
And then you can have missing leading of the spirit.
And they said, yep, we agree.
However, in most Christian situations,
this was their thought.
The reason the demonic realm or the curse
gets one in on us once in a while.
Or we're not able to get beyond it.
It's like it's grabbed us and we can't get out of it.
Is because we are living in natural thinking
and not in the spirit.
We're not being led by the spirit.
We're not speaking like the spirit.
We're not believing like the spirit.
We're not fully aligned with the spirit.
We're in natural thinking.
Like for instance, I'll give you an example.
People who are mechanics
have a difficult time believing for supernatural things
to happen to a physical automobile.
Because their mind is just so in the natural,
how it works.
But yet I've seen all kinds of supernatural things myself.
I've heard of others.
You know, Brother Copeland said he drove
a long ways cross country.
Back when they had points in the car.
When the mechanic finally got to look at it,
there was no points left.
It was so bad.
It was gone that actually the sparking,
it was just too little levers that were...
They were gone.
The points were gone.
They were shot.
And he drove fine, by faith.
Now a mechanic will struggle with that.
That can't be.
Well, see that natural thinking
will stop supernatural stuff from happening.
Many times people in the medical realm
struggle to believe for healings or miracles.
Because they've seen so much from the natural side
that to say, well, God can supernaturally
just go in there and fix it.
He can, but they just really struggle
to believe it and see it
like someone who doesn't know anything
about the medical realm.
Sometimes ignorance is bliss.
I have no idea how my body works,
but I do know this.
God can heal it.
It can come really quickly to those people.
So the emphasis, especially what Brad said,
is he said, I know for a fact
there's times that things happen that are not God.
They were not of God.
He said, but if I'll backtrack,
I will find I got out of the spirit someplace.
I miss the leading of the spirit.
So I brought up accidents.
He said, exactly.
He said, I've been in accidents.
He said, but if I will backtrack
and say, Lord, why,
he will show me where he tried to warn me
and say, don't do that
or do it this way.
And he said, for whatever reason,
I just ignored it,
didn't recognize it was his voice.
I was just in natural thinking.
It's going to be fun.
It's going to be exciting.
Don't shoot over that hill at 80 miles an hour
with a snowmobile.
Yeah, but it's going to be so fun, so exciting.
And we just ignore it.
And we do it.
And then we get an accident and it's like,
where was God?
He was on the other side of the hill saying,
don't do it.
So that was kind of their opinion.
So I felt good coming out of that, that...
It's blessings or curse.
And we're either flowing in one or the other
and the thing is in our life,
we can be flowing 90% in blessing
and a curse slips in on us.
And we just have to realize
that's how it works.
It's just which flow we're under.
And it's nothing to get under condemnation over.
It's nothing to say,
I'm such a failure.
I'm such a loser.
I'm such a whatever.
No.
We're living in a system
that is cursed.
Stop and think about it this way.
My body is dying.
My body and yours,
in case you don't know,
has the curse of death on it.
And that will not be avoided
unless through rapture or something.
But if we live out a normal life,
every one of us will die,
which is curse.
That's not of God.
We were never supposed to die.
That's curse.
But while my body is dying,
I am believing to stay healthy
till I step out of it.
See, now that is literally
I know I am swimming upstream here.
Because by faith,
through his promises,
he's given us the ability
to stay healthy
until we leave this earth.
Even though we're living in a body
that's dying.
So we're in the middle
of a system that's full of curse.
But we can live above it.
Now we can't live above it
to the point,
well, I will never die.
No, that one God hasn't
given us that promise.
It's appointed unto man once to die.
So we're all going to go through that.
But all the sickness and disease
and everything that leads up to that moment,
we don't have to.
We have been set free from that.
So by faith,
we have to swim upstream here
and stay in God's flow.
So that was kind of the main point
they said is we just don't take responsibility.
Well, we're living on this earth.
Everybody gets heart disease.
Everybody gets lung cancer.
Everybody dies.
What?
No, you're not taking responsibility
for the promises.
For what God's given.
You have to take responsibility
to the point of if it's not working,
something's wrong
because it's supposed to be working.
And that was their main point.
And they said it can be hard to accept.
If you lost a loved one
or this, that and the other,
it may not have been God.
You know, we always go to funerals
and we don't hear that.
You know, it's unfortunate,
but the devil took this one out.
We don't hear that.
God needed another angel or, you know,
it's all comfort words.
And, you know, so I brought that up.
I said, well, I've dealt with
and there are situations where
this is a hard thing to accept
because it puts responsibility
on us.
And it's just so much easier to go the other way.
And the response to that was this.
Yes, but that's the reason
most Christians don't know
the truth we just said.
Because we're so concerned
in helping everybody cope
and feel okay about themselves.
We don't put the truth out there.
You know, if somebody falls
and breaks a leg,
oh, that's unfortunate.
But it's okay. You're still doing great.
Rather than saying,
hey, the devil got one in on you.
You might want to stop
and take some inventory
because that's not of God.
That's of the devil.
A lot of Christians don't want to hear that.
But that is the truth.
Falling and breaking a leg is not a blessing.
Now God can make good come out of it,
but it's not a blessing.
So I just wanted to reiterate that
and we can talk about it a long time,
but I think we got the point.
So let's deal with the seven different curses.
There might be more than this,
but I just kind of identified seven of them.
We've been looking at the first one for quite a while.
If you could bring up that first slide
and then I'll take it from there.
Generational curses.
If you recognize a generational curse,
so how do you recognize it?
So here's what you're looking for.
You're looking for repeating patterns
or problems in the generations.
Grandpa died of a heart attack,
Dad died of a heart attack,
and now they're telling me I have heart problems.
That's probably a generational curse.
Whatever the repetition, it can be anything.
Let me give you an Old Testament one
and if you read those papers I handed out,
you already know it.
Abraham lied about Sarah
because he was afraid they were going to kill him
and take his wife.
So now you move down to Isaac.
Next generation,
Isaac did the exact same thing as Dad did.
He lied too.
It's like, well, that could be coincidence
or that could be the beginning of something.
Well, we know by Jacob,
the third generation down,
that was the beginning of something.
Jacob, his name,
do anybody know what Jacob's name
meant before it was changed to Israel?
Deceiver.
Jacob had a lying problem
and he never really,
he took care of it to a degree,
but the curse was in the family line now.
Go to Jacob's sons.
Oh my goodness.
They sell Joseph to Egypt
and go home and lie to Dad,
dip the coat in some blood,
and an animal got him flat out,
open lie, and the whole works,
all 11 of them agreed.
Oh yeah, that's what happened, Dad.
They're all liars.
That is a generational curse
that's established.
And it just marches on.
So it could be anything,
but you're looking for repetitive patterns.
Now, here's the beauty of calling
the Holy Spirit in to see it.
Like when we do deliverance stuff,
we talked about it not last week,
the week before, I always try to
come from the direction of whatever
is working in this person,
as the Holy Spirit sees it,
as the Holy Spirit knows it,
and I'll even use numbers sometimes
as he numbers what's in there.
He knows the exact number of spirits
that have to be dealt with here.
And I'll call him to come
and witness it and according to what he sees,
not according to what I see,
according to what he sees, we're dealing with this.
The beauty of that is when you're dealing
with generational stuff,
I had someone call me
two days ago, three days ago, whatever.
And they said,
I think it was this, I don't think it was last week.
I think it was this week. Maybe it was last week.
Everything starts running together when it goes too fast.
Anyway, they called me and they said that
they
had experienced
seeing a spirit
and this, that and the other
and didn't know what this was about.
But
the way they laid it out, and I won't lay the story up,
but the way they laid it out, they said,
what do you think that is? I said, that's generational.
Because it had to do with
they saw it, they experienced it,
and then they had a dream and their children were in the dream
and it all kind of just explained it.
And I said, well, the dream means this,
which means that spirit's generational spirit.
What do I do with it?
I said, well, you're going to have to break that.
I said, now here's the beautiful part
of calling the Holy Spirit into this.
You don't just
like take a shotgun in the night
and just start shooting in the darkness.
Hope you hit something.
Don't do that.
I said, the Holy Spirit knows what spirit that was
or what generational
curse thing that is.
According to the way it manifested,
call it back to you.
Like, for instance, someone else
just talked to me about a situation
where the
one of the children
saw spirit in the hallway
and they dealt with it.
So you say, but I don't know
what to deal with. I don't know if the spirit of adultery
or lying or you don't need to know any of that.
All you need to do is say,
Holy Spirit, whatever
that spirit was,
who that was,
they're all named.
They're not just entities floating
around. They're all named.
Whoever that was
and whatever that spirit
is working with.
So this is what I told the first person to do.
I said, because they saw it in the basement.
I said, go down to the basement
and stand there and say
whoever that spirit was, whatever
that represented, whatever group of spirits that
represents, as the Holy Spirit
knows them and sees them,
I command they come
and stand in front of me right now.
They must come.
Their first response was,
that scares me.
Well,
you're the one to charge.
You want to make sure
you've got
them by the throat
when you cut this thing off.
I said, just call them, stand in front of you.
I said, then walk through what we've talked about.
I am addressing
you in the name of Jesus through the blood of the Lamb.
And it's in that covenant
that I am standing here
and by the words
of my mouth, the words of faith,
I am now going to cut off
this generational curse. And you're
going to leave and never return
and everything involved with you as the Holy Spirit
knows. And you speak
to them. And as
you speak to them, don't be surprised
if your hair stand on end.
You know, you'll feel them
flare. If you're sensitive
at all, you'll feel them.
And just walk through it.
I bind you in the name of Jesus.
I cut your power
off, not in any other reason other than
I've been translated out of that kingdom.
I'm in the kingdom
of Jesus now.
So I cut you off. I sever you
from me. You can never touch me or
my lineage and
get rid of them. You can cast them to the pit.
You can do however you feel led to do.
Get rid of them
and make them go.
And that's the end of subject. You say, are you sure you're going to get the right one? Absolutely.
Because the Holy Spirit knows who that one was.
And you just called
them to you
according to what the Holy Spirit knows.
So a little later, they called back and I said,
how'd it go?
I walked downstairs and they knew I was coming.
My hair just stood up
when I...
and I got these chills and it felt
so evil. I said, good.
That way we know we dealt with it.
You confronted them.
You dealt with them.
We're done with you now.
Just cut it off and go with it.
So that's how you deal with generational.
We've talked about it quite a bit.
And
I'm going to watch
in case any messages come in.
Okay.
Nothing yet.
Let's go to the next one.
So here is...
You're going to find this slide in the power point.
It's going to happen over and over
and over.
Verbally cut it off from you.
And it's going to be after every curse.
I don't think that you're
not getting it.
I want you to realize
every curse has ended the same way.
It's just
in the name of Jesus,
through the position of authority
is the blood and the covenant.
We have to use
our words.
The words of our mouth
is how we operate
in the spirit.
And of course, we have to believe
what we're saying.
That always helps.
And that's how you cut
every one of them off.
It's just that easy.
So
the next one
should not be that one.
It should be this one.
The curse of spoken words.
Now
this can establish
if you and I personally
spoke the words,
we'll then repent and break the power.
If someone else spoke the words,
forgive them
and break the power.
And I'll give you an example here in a bit.
How do you do it?
The same way.
Every curse is broken the same way.
So let's go back to this one.
What do you mean by spoken words?
Many
if not most parents
at some point will curse
their children's future
either a little or a lot.
If you
keep that up,
you're going to be a walking
disaster.
You just curse them.
You just called
something into existence
that's not of God.
It's of the other
flow.
You are the most useless
child we have.
I don't think you'll ever amount into
anything.
That's a curse.
That's not just you
saying something funny or dumb.
That has
power behind it.
Because
our words have the ability
to create.
If you go back to Deuteronomy 30
and he talks about
our words and faith,
he says choose life.
I'm giving you the option
to choose life or death.
Choose life.
Our words have the ability
to create.
For instance, and it can happen any time,
can happen any place.
This was
the first time it happened to me
and it just kind of shocked me.
I should have walked right over to him
and said what needed to be said
and dealt with it. But I had performed
a wedding ceremony and we were
at the reception
and I walked by a table
and one of the people said
I don't give this marriage six months
and then it will be over.
This thing will never last.
I know what, and I can't remember
if he said he or she.
I can't remember who he was talking about.
But I know what he's like
and this thing will never last.
He just cursed their marriage.
Yeah.
That's not a blessing.
You're not calling for good. You're not calling
for them to grow. You're not calling for them
to prosper and learn
how to get along and all.
You're saying this will end.
Well, you just cursed them.
So if
someone else
spoke the words, number two
if you know
about it, forgive them.
Because if you don't forgive them
you're not going to have any ability to break their curse.
Forgive them.
And then
you just speak out into the atmosphere
like for instance, the wedding one
I would, if that was me
and I found out about it
I would agree with my wife
and I would say
okay, we're going to pray.
In the name of Jesus, I am calling
that curse that was spoken to us
or about us or over us.
I'm calling that
that's what I'm speaking to.
And in Jesus' name, through the blood
of Jesus and the covenant
I stand in
through my mouth
I cut that off.
That will never touch us.
It will never rest on us.
It will never have any influence on us.
And I command it to leave us.
End of subject.
If it's something we've spoken
sometimes we need to go back
and cut our words off.
And
with that
we might need to repent
which means we may
actually need to go tell the person
we said something
about, especially if we
said it to them.
If we said it behind their back, then maybe
just keep it quiet because you're going to stir something up
doesn't need to be stirred up.
But if you said it to them
you might
there's an Old Testament
principle that has been
lost in the New Testament.
It's called making restitution.
They were demanded
to make restitution back there.
It was part of the repentance process.
You broke it, go fix it.
Then we'll deal with the sin.
I think sometimes we
need to
you know I was wrong with what I said to you.
I'm sorry. Forgive me.
And I'm going to break
any powers that would have tried to come
against you and we literally go back
and break our own words.
Words are extremely
powerful.
And
if we
say something
that tries to shove
someone or someone else
over underneath
the wrong flow, you can curse yourself.
I don't think I'll ever get
math.
Well, that's
not a blessing to not know
how to add and subtract and multiply and divide.
That's a curse.
I just can't get it.
I don't think I'll ever get it.
Keep calling it. You probably never will get it.
You're going to slide yourself
right in underneath the wrong flow.
In God's flow
is all wisdom and knowledge
and understanding and math is not a problem
for God.
Call yourself to slide over
there.
I was just talking to someone today and
they were presenting a problem to me. I said,
what are you saying over it?
Well, I don't know. What do you mean?
What are you saying about it?
You've got this problem. What are you saying about it?
Well, they told me that they were saying about it
and it's like, well, you're halfway there.
But you're not fully there yet.
Call the thing to change
and come over here by faith.
Because curses, you don't have to...
You know, if a person doesn't know anything
about breaking a curse and cutting it off,
you can still get totally free
of it because it's the James 4-7
principle. I submit myself to God
and I resist the devil.
If this evil thing is going on in my life,
I'm submitted to you God
in your promises and your blessings.
I'm supposed to be over here
and I'm going to resist this and by faith
you just start calling your life over here.
Eventually, that will break.
It won't hold you.
It's that easy.
But we have to be really
guarded on what we say
and how we call things
because we can call ourselves
under a curse
or we can call ourselves out.
That's why in the New Testament
it is so emphasized
that we're supposed to bless
and only speak good things
and edifying things.
We'll give account
for every idle word we say.
And we're supposed to really...
You know, there's numerous scriptures
I didn't want to list them, but there's numerous scriptures
of we have to watch
our speech.
Why?
Because we're either choosing life
or death
in what we say.
I
think I've got cancer.
You better not leave it there.
Well, I'm going to go to the doctor
and they'll tell me.
That's swimming downstream
with the rest of the world.
You need to have that determined
before you ever go to the doctor.
And it makes no difference
what he says.
You've determined the outcome.
If he says, yeah, it's there.
Okay, now I know exactly what needs to die in me.
If he says, well, it's nothing there.
Well, good. Then God already dealt with it.
But we have to be careful
if we're choosing life or death.
You know, I had one person call me
a while back and they said, it was in the morning.
They said, I just had this feeling like this.
Something really bad is going to happen today.
I said, okay,
that could be God.
What are you doing with it?
I just have this feeling.
No, no, no, no. What are you
doing with that?
We're the ones
who choose
where our life goes.
You can't just sit back
and say, well, I just got this bad feeling
and I'm afraid what's going to happen today.
Now anything could happen.
Yeah.
So they say, well, what would you do?
I'd say the first thing I would do is
I'd bind that up.
That's the first thing. In the name of Jesus,
there will not be
any bad thing happening today.
Period. I forbid it.
Second thing I do is I say, Holy Spirit,
is there anything I need to know?
What is this about?
If this is of you,
there's a trap set. There's something out in front here
that I need to know about.
Talk to me about it.
And if you can't get it through my
thick head,
and I missed you,
I'm asking you to protect me,
or my family,
or whatever this is about,
despite the fact I missed
the leading of the spirit.
I've got this much of the leading of the spirit.
It just doesn't feel right today.
Something's off.
And I forbid anything bad from happening.
But if there's something I need to know,
tell me.
And then I would
start calling what the day will be.
This can be an awesome day.
This is the day I walk
in blessing,
whether I'm in the city or in the country.
And sometimes it's good to go back
and just kind of, even though we're not
under the Old Testament law,
it's the one that kind of opened up
and showed how the two flows work.
And I will be blessed coming in
and I'll be blessed going out.
And my needing trough is blessed,
which means my finances are blessed.
And there's no weapon formed against me
that's going to prosper.
And in the name of Jesus, I declare
when this day is done and I go to sleep,
nothing will have happened
to me or any of mine. Period.
You got to call it.
You have to choose life or death.
If you go with death,
you're actually setting curses into motion.
And there again, that's how you deal with it.
So the curse of personal sin.
Do you know that generational sin
all starts with personal sin?
Abraham's grandchildren
being the epitome
of lying
started with Abraham
having a personal
lying experience
or problem.
Abraham chose
to sin
which gave the foothold
and then it went down
to the sun
and it had the foothold and he succumbed
to the same thing. So it didn't gain much momentum
by Isaac.
But by Jacob
it gained a huge amount
of momentum
to the point the way he got
the blessing which was because
Isaac was stubborn.
You realize that? Isaac was
a stubborn old man
who wanted the blessing to go
not to Jacob
but to Esau.
Because Esau was his favorite
because he was a hunter. And Isaac
sat at home with mom and
did the garden and cooked.
He wasn't a man's man.
Even though when they were born
God said
Jacob is the one
who gets the blessing and the birthright.
Isaac, the stubborn old critter
was going to give it to Esau.
So the way Jacob
got it, how did Jacob
get the blessing?
Through lying!
And that's the way it worked.
Once it was spoken
and imparted, there was no
taking it back. We lied
to the old man with mom's help
to get the old man
to speak it. Once he had it
it couldn't be taken back.
The sad part of it is
and they were both wrong, there had
to be a better way.
But the sad part of it is
the way they chose, the reason
they chose that is because
Isaac was in disobedience to God.
So see how this stuff
creeps in
and then gets a foothold and goes.
So every curse, even generational
stuff, usually starts with personal
sin. We did something
wrong and I'm not talking
I'm talking lifestyle stuff.
I'm not talking a one-time event.
I'm talking more lifestyle stuff.
We have a lying problem
and we lie regularly.
If you don't deal with that, you're going to establish
a curse that's going to pass on. If it isn't already established
you might need to break it
because it's probably already established.
Or stealing, or gossip,
or selfishness, just list a few.
Unforgiveness.
Unforgiving parents, have you ever noticed
unforgiving parents have a really
they produce
unforgiving children?
The
usually doesn't drop far from the
tree.
And it reproduces
itself. Unresolved anger, bitterness,
hatred, whatever
it is. I'm just saying personal
sin will put you under
a curse and that will be the beginning
of something handing on to
to the rest. And that's how
you break it. You got to repent,
you got to break the established power
and deal with it. Number
four, authoritative sin curses.
What do we mean by authoritative
sin curses?
Talk about that before we go down to one,
two, and three. Any
place you're under authority
you can't
change it. You're under authority. This could be
in a family
that's first realm authority.
It could be
at a school
where you're under the authority,
the principal or the teacher.
It could be at a job
you're under the authority of
the boss.
It could be
in your county
where you're under the authority of the county
commissioners. Any
place we're under authority in a state we're under
the authority of the state legislature and the
governor. In the
nation we're under the authority of the
president and the legislature.
Any place you're
under authority
that authority
can release a curse
that can affect you.
So now I'm going to give you
an example that
don't tell anybody because I want
to show everybody a video clip on Sunday.
There's something we are
we're living in a state now that
I used to feel embarrassed about
now I'm going this state is
turning demonic.
This state is turning wicked
because of the authority
we're under.
So I'm going to give you a little
just don't tell anybody because then you'll steal all my
thunder for Sunday.
It's just a video clip anyway.
There's a bill moving through the
legislature right now in the Minnesota
state government
that is trying
to make
Minnesota a
refuge state
for transgender.
And the law will
read this way if it goes
through the way it is and to this point
they've basically been passing
anything and everything they want to because
they've got the house, they've got the senate
and they got the governor.
So they're just
hell is
kind of being turned loose in this state
because we voted in people who
serve that kingdom.
Oh, they're Christians. I don't care what you call them.
They're serving that kingdom.
Minnesota would become
if this goes through Minnesota would become a refuge
state. That's what this is what it means for
us and this what it means for a refuge
for us it means this
in the bill if
a child wants to get
a sex change
and the parent objects
it will be considered
abuse of the child
and the child will be immediately
removed from the
all.
And given the right
to go get their sex change.
The refuge
part is this
any child
in any other state
in the United States
who wants to have
a sex change their little boy
they're nine years old and they want to become
a little girl
if they will
get across the
Minnesota border
get into this state
the parents
have absolutely
no right or authority over
them anymore
because the parents
are trying to stop them from
In doing that, the parents' rights will be legally terminated.
So they'll take the child, put the child in the system, put them in social service, do whatever.
Let them get their sex changed.
The parents can come in, sue, whatever.
The state law will say we're a refuge state.
I don't care what you want.
We just took over the rights of your child because they got in our state and they don't
want you to stop them.
That is devilish.
That is hellish.
And it just goes to prove people, we voted these idiots in.
I didn't, but I mean, as a population.
I know most of us sitting here didn't, but in Minnesota, they got most of the votes.
They were voted in by the people of Minnesota.
We're now seeing the results of the people of Minnesota's stupidity.
Or the people of Minnesota's ungodliness.
How are you wanting to describe it?
This is absolutely horrid.
I hope it doesn't get through, but it came out of committee and now it's heading forward.
So it's not looking good.
There is an example of our state government is going to bring this state under a deeper curse than it's already in.
You say everything's going great in Minnesota.
Just hang on to your bootstraps.
Just hang on.
You can't get over here into this flow, the wrong flow, and stay there without eventually it ain't going to be going good in Minnesota.
So if we agree with what the state is doing, that curse becomes part of us.
So the authoritative situation and we've decided to submit to it.
Therefore, whatever it is gets on us.
Spiritually separate yourself from it and separate yourself from its power.
I refuse to agree with that stupidity.
It is unscriptural. It is ungodly.
They are way overstepping their bounds as if they know better than the parents.
It's just the, no, I totally disagree with it and I will not support it or be part of it.
In fact, if I do anything, I'll do the opposite.
I'm going to talk against it.
Verbally establish what authority you submit to.
Why I just did, I said it's ungodly.
It's sinful, it's of the devil, and I'm not going to submit to it.
Okay?
Sometimes, depending upon what the situation is, God will tell us to separate ourselves physically from the authority.
There's been people saying, well, I'm going to move out of the state.
God may lead you to, I don't know.
Now, if it becomes a refuge state, you better move far enough away that it's going to be very difficult for your children to get their foot across the border.
Because I mean, that's just disgusting.
Or if you're in a company situation and you're being abused, separate yourself.
God may say, quit the job, I've got a better one for you.
If you're in a family, you know, you can be an adult in a family where you got mom and dad and you got all the kids are adults.
And you've been the black sheep and they've been abusing you all your life.
You may need to separate from your family.
I mean, that's just the way it works.
Because every time you get together with them, they're cursing you.
Telling you how you're the dumb little brother.
And it's amazing we even put up with you because...
And it's amazing the stories I hear.
Well, I talked to someone just not long ago.
I said, well, why are you submitting yourself to that?
Well, I just hate to get together at family gatherings because they all turn on me and attack me.
I said, well, why are you going to family gatherings?
Well, because I have to, because to show the love of God.
I said, you think God is in that family gathering when they do that?
He's not showing up.
He's not supporting that.
You can love somebody without supporting what they're doing.
I said, you may need to just let them know, you know what?
I'm not doing this anymore.
The way you guys speak about me and the way you treat me, I'm done with that.
So I'm not showing up anymore.
You're submitting yourself to that authority or you're withdrawing yourself from that authority.
You can't go to a family gathering where they're attacking you and cursing you
and come away from that without some of that trying to...
Now you've got new spiritual battles that you're going to have to get rid of some of this and get it off of you again
because they spoke it over you and they're trying to get it on you.
So sometimes we need to just walk away from it.
The spiritual part, that's how you do it.
Right there, you just speak to it.
It's very simple, very easy.
Some people come out of this, occult witchcraft Satanism.
It's something they were involved in and don't think of things like you had a...
Some people might have had this, but it doesn't have to be a situation
where you drew a pentagram on the floor and you worship Satan.
That's... that wouldn't include that.
But it doesn't have to go to that extreme is what I'm trying to say.
Things like Ouija boards.
Tarot cards.
Horoscopes.
Fortune telling.
Palm reading.
That, all of that kind of stuff is demonic, period.
You know, I've had people say, have you ever had your palm read?
Nope. Nope, never have.
Are you gonna? Nope.
Never will.
I am not gonna present an open gate.
I'm not gonna present an open gate to me.
And when you do this, they're not operating under God's power.
They're operating under demonic power.
And you just submitted yourself to it.
I'm not gonna do that.
People will come to me and say, what sign are you?
I'm a Christian.
My sign is a Christian.
No, what month are you born? You know the signs.
I said, I have no use for it.
I believe it's all demonic and I don't care.
So you don't read your sign every day to see what's coming for the day?
Absolutely not.
I am not going to open that door to my life.
Absolutely not. I don't care what they say.
I know what the word says and I know what my choices are.
And my sign can just go to hell where it belongs.
I don't care. Do you know where the signs of zodiac started?
I had to do a term paper and the teacher gave us maybe 25 different things to research
and there was the end term paper for a particular class.
And the one that caught my attention was Tower of Babel.
I thought, that's cool. I want to research that and see what that's all about.
So I had to write a 30-35 page term paper with, I think it had like 60 sources that were needed.
It was one of these things you didn't want to wait until the night before it was due.
You had to put some time in.
Well, I discovered, one of the things I discovered is secular history proves
the signs of zodiac started on the Tower of Babel Nimrod rebelling against God.
That's where the 12 signs started.
And they were twisted.
They were things in the heavens that God had created, which in reality is the story of the redemption of man in the stars.
They were twisted into the signs of zodiac that will tell our future.
No, I don't care what my horoscope says.
It's kind of a whole horror.
And I don't care to look at the horror through a scope.
Horror scope.
I'm not interested.
But if you've been involved in those kind of things, and it was interesting on that video, did you catch the one guy who was speaking?
He said, if you have an addiction of any kind, you probably have company.
You got a critter.
You got a demon.
You got something.
If you've messed with occult witchcraft Satanism, if you've been involved in any of those kind of things, you better go back and break it.
Renounce it.
Submit yourself to God and renounce that thing and cut it off and get it away from you because you did make yourself a landing pad.
You say, how do I do that? Like that.
You've probably seen that before. It's all the same. It's so forth.
Okay, we got some questions coming in. I will hold them for the end.
So here's another one that I put under a curse getting active in our life.
So let me explain it a little bit.
Physical items that were specifically used for evil.
Like for instance, I talked about record albums already that were put out like Black Sabbath.
That's I'm kind of dating myself, but they were a Satan worshiping band.
And they would pray over the master cut of their album so that everything that came off of that master cut would have demons and would go out with it.
Witchcraft paraphernalia.
You know, if you're dealing with witchcraft jewelry, things like that, you got to be careful of that because it can bring stuff with it because it's specifically designed for evil.
Anything that is... it has no solid positive representation of good.
And I think I said this before, it might have been in a message though.
If I said it here, I'm just repeating myself, but it's important.
When I was growing up, I used to love to go to the missionary services because the missionaries from Africa and other parts of the world would always bring paraphernalia.
They had received either as gifts from which doctors or somebody got saved and they'd bring it and they'd line it up across the platform.
You know, I remember one guy had a real shrunken head.
Yeah, real shrunken head, still had the hair on it and everything.
It was like mummified, sitting on the platform.
Well, as a kid, I thought this was awesome.
You know, I get to see all this stuff.
Everything that was setting up there had absolutely nothing to do with the kingdom of God.
And when it has nothing to do with the kingdom of God, there's demons attached to it.
There's curses attached to it.
So literally in retrospect, knowing what I know now, in their two suitcases, they were literally spreading the love from church to church.
The curses, the demons, the...
Because we submitted ourselves to them bringing it in and almost halfway glorified it.
Isn't it awesome?
You know, I remember one, there was in a jar, there was some fingers that had been part of a sacrifice and they were all shriveled up in there and black and this, that and the other.
And he explained it was part of a sacrifice.
But the person got saved and this...
Get rid of it.
Throw it out, bury it.
Do something with it. Get it out of the church.
Because this has nothing to do with God.
Any of those kind of items, we have to get rid of.
Get them out and then verbally break anything tied to them.
You can't keep playing Ouija board as a Christian and not have demons.
You will have demons.
You will have curses establishing in your life. You got to get rid of that kind of thing.
And then the last one here, I brought this up before.
I'll just read you the scripture. We don't have it in PowerPoint, but I'll read it to you.
Will a man rob God? Yet you rob me.
But you ask, how do we rob you?
In ties and offerings.
Verse 9, Malachi 3, you are under a curse.
Because you're robbing God.
The whole nation of you, because you're robbing me.
Bring the whole tide in the storehouse that there may be food in my house.
Test me in this as the Lord Almighty and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven
and pour out so much blessing that you will not have enough room.
You will not have room enough for it. Let me get it read right.
So he's comparing you can get under the wrong flow by not giving financially the way God's asking you to give
and what he was talking about there specifically was tithe.
Or you can get under the other flow, which is blessing if you will do what God's asking you to do.
So what do you have to do?
If you haven't been in that realm, if you haven't, well, you need to repent.
Repent means you got to change your mind and start doing what's right
and break the power that was established and begin moving forward.
So I want you to remember we talked about and it's a spiritual principle.
Satan is not a creator. He's only a perverter.
He can only take what God created and pervert it.
Like for instance, God created music.
Satan has taken that and perverted it into ungodly things,
but music in and of itself was a creation of God.
So everything that God does, Satan tries to take and pervert it and make a perversion out of it.
So you've got to remember that principle.
So if the principle from God is as we give financially,
it opens every blessing in every realm.
For whatever reason God tied, we can get blessed in every area of life through financial giving.
It's in 2 Corinthians 9, 8, and I'm just going to read them to you again.
We don't have them on the screen, but I'll read them to you.
The first one is the NIV translation.
And God is able to make all grace abound to you
so that in all things, at all times, having all that you need,
you will abound in every good work.
And if you read the verse in front of it and behind it, he's talking about financial giving.
In the Amplified, he says, God is able to make all grace,
every favor and earthly blessing, every.
So for whatever reason, God decided to set up financial giving
as an opening to everything God has available for us.
Physical healing, mental healing, financial prosperity, good marriage, health, longevity.
No matter what, it's all tied to financial giving.
Every favor and every earthly blessing come to you in abundance
so that you may always and under all circumstances, always under all circumstances.
And whatever the need be, self-sufficient.
So whatever the need, you will be self-sufficient, possessing enough to require no aid or support.
Possessing enough, you don't need to ask for help.
And being furnished in abundance for every good work for everything God wants you to do
and every charitable donation.
There is the principle God set up and he tied it to financial giving.
It covers everything.
So now if that's how it flows, if we're going to pervert it, it's going to cover everything.
We're not going to be able to change the principle. That's how God created it to work.
But we can pervert it by getting us out from under the blessing and into a curse.
You say, well, what would that look like?
Just read it the other way. God is able to make all grace abound to you.
God is not able to make any grace abound to you.
In all things, at all times, you will never have what you need.
And you will never abound to any good work.
That's a perversion of the principle.
Rather than life, it becomes death.
And the thing with financial giving is it touches all of our life.
Everything, our lineage, everything.
So it's a huge one.
And I know that there's people who don't believe tithing is for today.
I'm not under the law, so I don't have to tithe.
Tithing started before the law.
So it's not under the law.
Jesus referred to it and said, we need to keep it up.
Well, Jesus was under the law.
Well, so be it, then a bunch of the other stuff that Jesus said as for us is no good either.
You know, when he said that he carried away every sickness and disease,
well, he was under the law.
So evidently, that doesn't apply to us either, does it?
Huh?
This isn't the smorgasbord we pick and choose.
If Jesus said this is how it works, this is how it works.
For everybody.
But Jesus said it applies.
If you go to Hebrews 7, it makes it very plain it applies to us today
because of the picture of Melchizedek.
That's where it started being fulfilled in Jesus in our life.
So I take issue with the thing of tithing is not for today.
But some people don't believe it is.
So just stop and realize this.
You have opened every part of your life up to a curse coming to land on you.
Every part of it.
Because when we do give, we open every part of our life to receive blessing.
So if we opposite that, if we pervert that, we're going to open every part of our life for curse.
Now he's not going to hit in most cases.
Some people it's like nothing works for them.
In most cases, that's not true.
He's not going to hit everything.
He's going to pick one or two areas of your life and destroy you through those one or two areas.
Well, look at all the money that we're making.
How are your kids doing and living for God?
Yeah, but we're blessed financially.
Well, don't consider gain godliness, Paul said.
How are your kids doing?
Well, they don't want anything to do with God.
They're under curse.
How'd you let that in? You tither?
Well, but you know, our kids are doing great for God.
How are you doing in your health?
See, he's going to pick something.
Well, I've lived for God, you know, and I've never tithed.
I'm on my third marriage, though.
Well, why do you think that is?
Is that a blessing? Just keep hopping through?
See, he'll pick something.
Everything is free game,
but he'll pick one or two things in your life
and he'll attack it and destroy your lineage through it.
And you if possible.
He's not going to hit everything.
There's a few people that's like,
wow, their whole life is cursed.
But those are rare.
He's going to pick something
because everything is available
because of that curse.
So what do you do with it?
You repent. You change your ways.
You verbally cut it off and move forward.
So now I'm just going to quickly go through some things here
as side thoughts and lay out some principles.
This next part will go quickly.
If you want to speak to the enforcers of the...
if the spirit leads you to do that,
like you can talk to the demons or you can talk to the angels.
If you want to do that, that's fine.
Follow the spirit.
It's not a system that you work.
You don't have to speak to demons all the time.
You just enforce what God says needs to be done.
So be open to the leading of the word.
Speak... open to the leading of the spirit.
Speak the word and God will release everything.
So here I just gave some examples.
Correlation of the three.
The vehicle, the blessings and the enforcers.
I put it into a couple things.
Like for instance, let me back up here.
Correlation of the three and generational blessings or curses.
So now we're talking generational. We're just applying it.
What's the vehicle in a generational curse?
It's the power of sin.
Or if it's the blessing of the generations
as the power of righteousness,
that we're standing under, that's flowing into our lives.
It's the blessings of the father, the generational blessings.
Or it's the sins of the fathers, the generational curses.
And we're under one floor or the other.
That's the vehicle. The vehicle could be spoken words.
It could be authoritative curse.
Or it could be generational curse.
And we're under the flow because of what's happening with the curse.
So who's enforcing that? Angels or demons are going to enforce that.
If it's demonic side, it's going to be familiar spirits
when you're dealing with generational sin.
They're going to get on that flow and they're going to ride that vehicle.
They're going to ride that flow right into your life and into the generations.
They work to keep it established and moving from generation to generation.
If it's the blessings, the guardian angels,
they will get on it and travel the blessing.
And they will... We've all got guardian angels.
We've all got angels assigned to us.
They're ministering spirits.
That's in the Old Testament and in Hebrews.
They're ministering spirits.
They will work with us to keep that flow going in our life.
They're the enforcers.
The blessings, the curses themselves.
Well, it's the spiritual force that's released in our life.
Blessing is a flow that comes from God.
That's the spiritual force that's being released.
Curses is the spiritual force or flow that comes from the demonic realm.
And here's the hard part.
As a saved person, as a person living for God,
we can at times open the door to the wrong spiritual flow.
That's when we get into trouble.
That's when bad things happen.
And we already talked about it.
We might have sinned and we're just being stubborn about it
and we're not repenting.
It might be a generational thing that we are not recognizing.
It could be we missed the leading of the Spirit.
We're not trying to hear the Spirit.
We're supposed to be the sons of God are led by the Spirit of God.
We go for weeks and we can't say the Holy Spirit
led us to do anything.
Well, that's open game.
We can fall into all kinds of traps that way.
So we need to follow through on that.
So then I've got three slides just applying it to spoken words.
We won't take the time to go through it.
It's the same thing just applying it to spoken words.
Let's get to this one. How do you break a curse?
And it's very simple.
This is easy.
Number one, submit yourself to God.
You've probably heard that someplace before.
James 4-7.
In our attitude, in our words, in our actions,
receive God's grace, mercy, forgiveness, repent.
Submit yourself to God and resist the devil.
Repent.
Identify and choose to get free of whatever areas
the Holy Spirit is pointing out to you.
Resist it. Renounce it.
Separate yourself and your offspring from that.
And it can be generational stuff.
It can be spoken words stuff.
It can be authoritative stuff.
We need to be teaching our children now
that what the government of Minnesota is doing
is wrong.
Get them going the right direction before they come home
and say, I think I want to tell the school counselor
I want a sex change. Don't wait.
We need to be pushing back on that authoritative curse
early.
So that we never get put in the position
of they just took our kid
and they're doing with it what they want.
And there's not one thing we can do about it
whether we live in this state
or we move to another one.
They got jurisdiction over the whole nation.
That's just sick.
Submit yourself to God. Resist the devil.
Declare according to the scripture what will be.
That's part of resisting the devil.
You know, when something is
going the wrong way, you need to stop and say,
no, this is what the word says.
And I refuse to keep going that way
and quote the scripture and say, that is my life.
I choose that. I choose life.
And that's where I'm going.
It's part of resistance.
Bind and lose. How do you deal with the curse?
Bind and lose it.
You bind the evil and you lose the good.
You're resisting death and you're choosing life
no matter what the curse is.
I've got a number of them listed there.
You deal with it.
If you've been involved in any of these things,
forbid anything attached to them from operating with you
and get rid of them, obviously.
Declare them to be unlawful. Get it out.
And then no matter what the curse is,
you just walk through it and you verbally speak to it.
No. See, that's binding and losing.
Binding is saying no to one thing
and yes to another.
I bind you, I forbid you.
It literally means to declare unlawful.
You are unlawful to operate in my life.
I bind you, I stop you.
And I loose what God has
or declare it lawful to operate in my life
and I call it to operate in my life.
Binding and losing.
Bind and lose it.
Loose the blessing.
Bind the negative. Loose the positive.
I have people in my ancestry
who serve God with all their heart.
I call those blessings to come rest on me.
And wherever they were off,
one nothing to do with that.
That's between them and God.
But the blessings of the fathers
will pass down a thousand generations.
I am claiming my share.
Call it. Loose the blessing in your life.
And, you know, if someone spoke a word, for instance,
that was evil against you,
call the opposite.
Loose the blessing.
No, I forbid that negative word from happening.
I loose the other.
Allow and permit it to operate in your life.
And again, dealing with that realm,
I do not allow and permit that to operate.
That's no, we're not going there.
Choose life, choose blessing
because of the promises,
because of grace.
In the name of Jesus, I am blessed.
The blood of Jesus has qualified me
to be blessed. I may not deserve it.
I may not be able to earn it.
I may not be good enough for it.
It's a free gift.
I'm qualified as a son or as a child of God.
I will live blessed and my children will live blessed.
I'm in a covenant with the Father
and what his desire for me
is what I'm going to live in.
I'm going to live in blessings.
So with the word of your mouth,
I choose blessings and life.
You speak it out.
And sometimes you speak it out forcefully.
Devil, you can't have my child.
I choose blessing over them.
And they're not going to have a choice.
If they're going to end up in hell,
they're going to claw their way there
because everything is against them.
They're going to end up in life
and in health and in strength
and in heaven, period.
You just set your faith to it.
Act 1631, you will be saved and your household.
That settles it.
They don't have a choice.
My kids, my grandkids,
they don't have the right to go to hell.
I don't give them that choice.
And sometimes you get forceful.
When that Holy Spirit rises up in you,
you rise up with it
and you call what will be.
And I do this by faith in Jesus.
If you've got unforgiveness,
you need to deal with that
because that is a crippler.
That cripples our power.
It cripples everything.
I think we know how to do that.
We need to renounce occult activity,
Eastern mysticism.
Look that up sometime.
Ying and Yang, Karma,
that kind of junk,
nothing to do with God.
Nothing to do with God.
What goes around comes around,
well, not if you cut it off, it don't, you know.
God says, what you sow, you'll reap.
Well, yeah, some things I sowed,
I made sure they never grew.
So there's not going to be a harvest.
When I saw them come up out of the ground,
I sprayed them with my mouth.
And I killed them.
It's not going to produce any fruit in my life.
Occult literally means secret or hidden
or concealed things like sin.
That's what occult really means.
The occult arts are delving into secret,
hidden, concealed things like astrology,
psalmistry, card reading, horoscope,
seances, that whole realm,
anything in that whole realm is demonic.
Eastern mysticism,
yin and yang karma,
fate, reincarnation,
absorption, that's uniting with the cosmos,
yoga, joining yourself with the divinity
or divine, a god,
moral order, righteous duty,
and practice to qualify ourselves
for absorption.
See, absorption is the ultimate.
Reincarnation is the steps
of getting better and better and better
until you finally get so good
you get absorbed into the cosmos
and you're one with creation.
It's all eastern mysticism. It's all garbage.
It has nothing to do with God.
That whole realm renounce it.
I will not go there or participate.
I'm not going to make myself a landing pad
for the demonic.
Renounce false religions.
Any worship, you say, what's a false religion?
Any worship that's not focused on God,
the Father, the Son?
False religion.
You can throw the Holy Spirit in there, too, if you want.
But specifically, God, the Father, and Jesus,
the Son, the Savior, if it's not focused on that,
deal with it.
And this one, you know, just get rid of all objects
designed for evil.
And I've got a few things listed there.
Just get rid of them.
Don't hang on to them.
If they're designed for evil.
Now, I was... the high school
I went to,
our mascot
was the rattlesnake.
We were called rattlers because in the area we lived
was a lot of rattlesnakes.
So we were called the rattlers.
So we had a rattlesnake on our
graduation,
our ring, our class ring.
It was... everybody had it on the sides.
So I got talking to somebody who was
in deliverance and they saw my ring and they said,
You can't break the curse of a snake.
Why are you wearing that?
I said, well,
I explained to him just what I said to you.
They said it doesn't matter.
Anything that has to do with a snake is cursed.
I take issue with that.
That ring was not designed
for evil.
I said, if there's anything attached to the snake,
I've already dealt with it.
Well, you can't. It's not possible.
Well, first of all, don't tell me what God can do
and what he can't do.
I have a problem with that.
But,
I've already dealt with it.
I can deal with it because it's not
designed for evil.
Now, if that ring was specifically designed
for Satan worship
and someone gave it to me,
now it might be better
if I just got rid of it.
Why are you saying you can never break it?
Well, I'm not saying you can never,
but you might have a real fight on your hands.
Because it was never meant to glorify
why God at all. It was meant to glorify
the other side. Why would you want to keep it?
I mean, just get rid of it.
So real quickly, we'll wrap it up
and go to questions and answers.
Just realize that in
blessings and curses, everything that
happens in our life is the result of
one spiritual flow or the other.
That's all blessing and curse means.
That's how it works.
So how do we get free?
Well, number one,
realize that most of the time
we don't even know if a generational curse
is established.
So you have to pay attention.
You have to take responsibility
and pay attention to your life
and see what's happening.
And then you just renounce it and cut it off.
No matter what it is,
but especially generational curses.
Many times generational curses just go on
and we just make excuses for them.
Well, you know, I'm Irish.
I got a bad temper.
No, you got a curse.
God doesn't have a bad temper.
Now, God can get angry and say,
no, we're not doing that.
But God doesn't have a bad temper.
He doesn't go from 1 to 10 just because
you said something wrong and now
he's going to rip your head off.
That's just not God.
Well, I'm Irish.
Well, yeah, there's cultural curses.
Have you noticed?
Germans are awesome.
Except for the fact they try to take over
the world every now and then.
First world war, second world war.
That was my heritage.
We're better than everybody else.
We're going to make you submit to us.
You think there might be some kind
of generational stuff floating there?
See, so it's, you know,
you...
I had a French person say one time,
well, I'm French.
We're designed to be loving.
I can't help but I sleep with a lot of women.
I'm a French person. I'm a lover.
Well, yeah.
That's a good excuse.
It's not God.
Well, it flows with the whole nationality.
It may.
I won't argue that.
It's capable of floating with the whole system.
Every, by the way,
every nationality carries peculiar curses to it.
If you want to make that a side study
at some point and go deeper into it,
there's some books on revealing
what every nationality carries.
One of the things Bob Larson does
before he casts anything out
is he finds out, what's your nationality?
Because now he knows already
kind of the ballpark he's working in.
So...
but most of us don't realize
there's something active.
So we got to wake up, smell the coffee.
And number two, a curse is legal right of sin.
We have status at willful sin.
If it's a generational thing,
just cut it off.
But the legal right is always in.
Follow the spirit as much as possible.
How do we live free of curses?
Realize there's some active.
Number two,
the legal right of sin.
So get rid of the sin.
Number three, to stay free of curses.
Follow the spirit as much as possible.
He'll help you avoid the traps
that are set for us.
Number four, live by faith
and declare what's going to happen.
Call life.
And do not accept
the bad things as just being neutral or normal.
Because they are not.
Just neutral or normal.
So now I've got a statement here
that I want to correct.
Because I've made that statement.
And the Holy Spirit I brought it down.
It's in the PowerPoint.
And I was reviewing for tonight.
And I read through that.
And he said, that's wrong.
I said, what?
He said, yeah, that's wrong.
I said, how can that be wrong?
We can live fully in blessings
and totally free of curses.
He said, no, you can't. Not yet.
You're going to die, aren't you?
That's a curse.
So some things
until God creates the new heaven and new earth
we have to take a
faith stand against and fight them.
We'll never get rid of them.
So I felt kind of bad.
It's like, oh,
I guess you're right.
I can't believe
my way out of physical death.
It's going to come. God said it's the last
enemy to be destroyed.
So, but
the key to the whole thing is
walk in the light and be led by the Holy Spirit.
Stay away from the flaw of the kingdom
of darkness.
We cannot live in willful
sin and be free
of the power of that
sin.
That's a huge statement. We could speak a whole
message on that, bring all kinds of Scripture
into that.
Romans 6, Romans 8.
If you submit yourself
to righteousness, you'll become its slave.
If you submit yourself to sin, you'll become
its slave. You can't live in willful
sin and live free
of its power.
You're going to serve it.
And this is just a little
side thing here that I brought up before.
I wanted you to have the Scripture.
The lamp of the body
is the eye.
Therefore, if your eye is good, your whole body
is full of light. If your eye is bad, your whole body
is full of darkness. He's not talking about physical
lighter, he's talking about spiritual.
Because
whether we have lights on in here or not, it's not
shining in me
because of those lights. This is a spiritual
thing.
Therefore, take heed that the light that is in you
is not darkness.
That's an interesting statement. We talked about
it a little. I want to do something here in
just a little bit.
The light that's in you,
be careful, it's not mixed in with darkness.
If then your whole body is full of light,
having no part dark, the whole body will be
full of light as when a bright
shining of a lamp
gives you light.
Can you do me a favor and let's block the
screens and kill all
the lights in here. Let's go dark.
We're going to have a TV back there.
Get rid of these and the up lights.
Louis,
can you close that door for me?
We will have that
light, so we're going to have to put up with
that monitor TV light.
Okay, so now we're in darkness.
Oh, look it there.
Got rid of that one too.
Let me get rid of this one.
So now we're in darkness.
And for those of you watching,
by livestream we'll come back to you in a bit.
As
we're in this darkness,
if something was in here
that was in this church
sanctuary that was going to try to attack us,
it would probably try to hide
in the darkest spot
until it would make its move.
Now there's something interesting about
how the spirit realm works in our temple.
And it goes along with something we're going to go into
which is in Ephesians 427
talking about the spots
where they hide and where they live in our temple.
But if the light
that, you know, the light
is like a lamp
that gets into
us and
illuminates the inside of our temple.
So pretend the inside of this sanctuary
is the inside of you
spiritually.
If you turn on
one lamp
if there's something hiding over there
you're going to see it.
But if it's hiding the other direction
we're not going to see it.
If the light
that is in you
is darkness,
how great is that
darkness?
How much
light is actually there?
You say what's the principle?
Shine the light
on everything
in you.
And you can bring the lights back up.
Shine the light
on everything
so that
there's no place for darkness
to hide.
That's the concept
that I believe Jesus
is trying to bring across right there.
Psalms 119-105
your word is a lamp to my feet,
a light to my path.
1 Corinthians 13-12
now we are looking through a mirror
and only see a dim blurred reflection.
But when perfection comes
we will see in reality
face to face and we'll see clearly.
We have to understand when it comes to us
we don't see ourself
as clearly as we
should
because we're living in a dark world
and that darkness tries to creep into
us spiritually so to speak
and we have to guard against that.
So we stay free
and the more we guard against it
the more we light ourselves
up.
And what does he say? Your word is a lamp to my feet.
Get the word in.
Of course the primary way
especially back then they didn't have
iPhones
they didn't have CD players
they didn't have YouTube
if they were going to get the word in
they had to read it.
So Jesus said okay let's use that
your eye is the lamp to your light
is the lamp to your body
or your life
and the question
or the point that he's coming from
is Psalms 119
your word is a lamp
to my life
so you get the word in
through your eyes and start
shoving the darkness out
and you can live free.
