No More Curse!

When you allow the Holy Spirit to be the teacher in your bible study, you find that many times He leads the discussion away from the topic you thought you were supposed to teach on. For example, today I sensed in my spirit that there wasn't going to be much from the book of Ruth taught today, even though we had a great study last week and were prepared to go forward and look at chapter 4. As it turns out, the question of curses, particularly the doctrine of generational curses, was brought up, so the Holy Spirit taught on this issue. We were taken to Galatians 3: 13-14.

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ: that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

Scripture is clear that there are no more curses on the believer - AT ALL! There is a very popular charismatic teaching in the body of Christ that we are all under Old Testament generational curses and that they must be rooted out, etc - this is simply NOT TRUE!. I know many well-meaning Christians who love God and desire to serve Jesus but have been hood-winked by the devil into believing this false doctrine. The truth is that Jesus Christ took every curse, being made a curse for us - now the blessing of Abraham and ALL of its benefits flows to us believers, Jew and Gentile alike.

If you are black, you are not cursed because of the enslavement of African Americans in our culture; if you come from a family of sickness and disease, you are not cursed with those same diseases; if you are a woman, you are not cursed because of your gender; abused, raped, not cursed because of the shame of your past; poverty-stricken, not cursed to always be in lack; lack of education, not cursed and prevented from being promoted or placed in a position of prominence, and the list goes on and on. You are blessed, regardless of your circumstances!

Don't look at the doctor's report, your check-book, your pile of bills, or listen to negative confessions from family and friends - you are blessed and that is the truth. Facts can change, but the truth never changes. God loves you and you are highly favored. You are His born-again child, accepted in the beloved and are as perfect and righteous as Jesus! Hold fast to the promises God has given you and don't let doubt or unbelief take root. Your testimony is coming!
