Ashley and her family were once devoted Buddhists. But one day, a leader from the Buddhist organization became angry with Ashley’s mother and put a curse on the whole family. Within a week disaster struck on Ashley’s family. First Ashley’s mother and sister were driving home and the breaks gave out and the car crashed into a tree. They both survived the crash. Next, Ashley’s youngest sister fell from a two story window and cracked her skull on the concrete patio and had to have brain surgery. Ashley had to receive stitches in her right foot because she stepped on a broken old glass bottle a few days later. Lastly, there were demonic spirits roaming around Ashley’s house and her whole family was scared to stay in the family home. Ashley’s Father told a coworker what was occurring and his coworker told him that Jesus could stop the curse on his family. A few days later, Ashley and her family got baptized in Jesus’ name. A minister came to their home and prayed throughout it. The curse has been broken on Ashley’s family and today they are no longer Buddhists but Christians.
Has someone every placed a curse on your family? Have you ever dealt with demonic spirits? If so they are no match for Jesus because they tremble when they hear his name. James 2:19 says, “You say you have faith, for you believe that there is one God. Good for you! Even the demons believe this, and they tremble in terror. “ Read another example how demons are afraid of Jesus below.
Mathew 8:28-32 says,” When He had come to the other side, to the country of the Gergesenes, there met Him two demon-possessed men, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no one could pass that way. And suddenly they cried out, saying, “What have we to do with You, Jesus, You Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?” Now a good way off from them there was a herd of many swine feeding. So the demons begged Him, saying, “If You cast us out, permit us to go awayinto the herd of swine.” And He said to them, “Go.” So when they had come out, they went into the herd of swine. And suddenly the whole herd of swine ran violently down the steep place into the sea, and perished in the water.”
Whenever we have the Holy Spirit living in us we have authority over all demons, familiar spirits, and principalities. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 says, “Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.” Genesis 1:26 says, “Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our l ikeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
God’s children have victory over demons because they are already defeated and we are warring from a place of victory. Jesus conquered death because he rose from the dead the third day, went to Hades and got the keys. God of Israel is the only God that is alive. For instance, in 1 Kings 18, prophets of Baal tried all day to pray to their God but were unsuccessful in setting fire to the offering. But when Elijah the prophet prayed to God to set the offering on fire, God answered him and set the offering on fire. When the prophets of Baal saw this, they knew that God of Israel was the real God.
God’s power can break any curse. First you have to repent of your sins. Forgive anyone who may have cursed you. Next you have to get in God’s word. Declare and decree God’s word, victory, and faith over your life. Job 22:28 says, “You will also declare a thing, and it will be established for you; so light will shine on your ways.”
Let’s pray:
Heavenly Father, I lift up your holy name and give you all the honor and the glory. I forgive anyone who may have cursed me or harmed me. Your word says No weapon formed against me shall prosper. I know that the devil is defeated from your word. Colossians 2:15 says, “Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.” James 4:7 says, “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.”
I know by your word that I have authority in heaven and on earth. Matthew 16:19 says, And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” I bind any demonic influences off my life in the earthly realm and spiritual realm in the name of Jesus. I loose any sign, symptoms, and manifestions left from these spirits in the name of Jesus. I release divine intervention, divine protection, a fire wall, and a hedge of protection around me in the name of Jesus. I bind up any demonic stronghold and demonic interference that would hinder my prayers from being answered. I loose angelic hosts to war against the forces of darkness in Jesus name.
Psalms 91:3 says you will deliver me from the snare of the fowler and perilous pestilence. Your word says that the enemy is overcome with your blood and by my testimony. I command any mountains of curses and any mountains of misfortune to be removed and cast into the sea in Jesus name. I am a child of the most high God and I decree that I am walking in God’s favor and victory. In Jesus name Amen.
