Thank you for praying faithfully with us. Believe me, the Lord does answer earnest, continued prayer with great power! Please continue praying about the other issues on this blog. The idea is “earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer” as per James 5:16 (Amp).
This week we break Ham's curse.
Pray with the SOUND CLIP below the prayer points.
In preparation for this prayer offensive you can start by studying this teaching below called What does it mean to be Salt of the Earth?, which introduces a new angle to being The Salt of the Earth. We are going to look for the Lord’s solution to certain issues on earth, and then pray it through via the audio clip below. You can agree with our prayer and then continue on your own. We will only add a new clip every few days to give you time to pray continually on the same subject, to give us time to listen for the Lord’s guidance on how to pray for the next subject, and to give more people opportunity to join in.
Whilst you pray with us, allow the Holy Spirit to lead you to pray for specific people that come to mind in your sphere of influence. We’ll do the same, and as people join us all over the world and do the same; this heap of salt will cleanse, preserve, and purify and make a huge difference on the earth from within each of our communities. “The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working],” (James 5:16). And those of hundreds of righteous men and women generate even more power!
Breaking Ham’s Curse
This may be hard to believe, but with God all things are possible and after praying much about this I am convinced that this is on the Lord's heart.
Recently,
whilst making a few videos for children and getting
to Noah's history, I was once again reminded of the curse spoken over Ham by his
father Noah after Ham disrespected him, as recorded in Genesis 9:20-27:
Ham saw Noah naked in his tent and laughed at it,
telling his brothers.
"But Shem and Japheth took a
garment, laid it on both their shoulders, and went backward and
covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were turned away,
and they did not see their father’s nakedness.
"So Noah awoke from his wine, and
knew what his younger son had done to him. Then he said:
'Cursed be Canaan;
A servant of servants
He shall be to his brethren.'
"And
he said:
'Blessed be the Lord,
The
God of Shem,
And
may Canaan be his servant. May God enlarge Japheth, and
may he dwell in the tents of Shem; and
may Canaan be his servant.'
At
the time of reading this my first thought was whether it really was necessary
for Noah to have been so rash, since this curse has brought endless problems on
earth. In the diagram below we get an idea of who
the descendants of Shem, Ham and Japheth are.
If
we look at the state of certain parts of the world in the light of this
curse and these descendents, especially Africa, we have clearer understanding of
why certain peoples of the world suffer under the powers of manipulation and
control, from either or both other nations and
spiritual forces.
Poverty,
violence, superstition, manipulation, control, corruption, abuse, AIDS and
other illness, etcetera are simply much rifer
amongst descendants of Ham.
One
day I discussed this with my wife and a statement
came almost simultaneously over both our lips. “In Jesus’ name any curse can
be broken.” After much contemplation therefore I have felt that we need to pray
against Noah’s curse, break it and start praying long awaited prosperity over
the descendants of Ham. This will be done over
the next few weeks.
Prayer Topics for this Prayer
Lord, in Jesus' name and by His authority
1. We cancel, break and reverse the curse that Noah has spoken: In Jesus name Ham’s descendants
will not be under the curse as spoken by Noah any more, and shall not be a
servant to his brothers’ descendants any more. As with Shem and Japheth’s
descendants, may God also enlarge and bless Ham’s descendants.
2. We speak
out against the hopelessness these
people experience and proclaim prosperity and hope
for them. May their land be prosperous and may they enjoy the resources their
land offers from the soil above, from the depths of their underground treasures
as well as from the waters of their land. May these resources not fall in the
hands of foreigners and enrich them anymore, but bless and enrich those whom
the land belongs to.
3. May their leaders not abuse their
subjects anymore or enrich themselves at the cost of those the land belongs to,
but may the riches be equally divided between all.
4. May they receive the same
ability, motivation, enthusiasm, honour, self-esteem, wisdom, mental power and
anything else they need to themselves develop the land that belongs to them.
5. We declare that inabilities,
weaknesses, lack in foresight and anything else that are lacking with all
descendents of Ham as a result of the curse be restored by the power of the
living God in Jesus name.
6. We break
the power of violence and pain that affect their lives and proclaim peace and healing to overtake them.
7.
We break the power of manipulation by
human and spiritual forces and release freedom for those affected.
8. We break
the power of control by human and spiritual forces and release freedom to those affected.

forces that we bind
and break off by name:
a.
