Cancelling Curses

Thank you for praying faithfully with us. Believe me, the Lord does answer earnest, continued prayer with great power! Last week we prayed for marriages. Please don’t stop praying about it and the other issues on this blog. The idea is “earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer” as per James 5:16 (Amp).

This week we cancel curses.

See the prayer topics below.

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!

Cancelling of Curses

People speak curses all the time, but we do not always realize we are doing it. James compared the tongue with a fire out of control (James 3). He mentioned that man has managed to control magnificent things. In his time James knew about horses and ships, but today we stand in even greater awe as to what man is able to control.

However, through the ages man has never been able to control the tongue and daily we murder character and personality; destroy people's opinions of others as well as creating unfair opinions of others; delaying, harming and even destroying people's destinies, etc. by means of what we say through gossip and criticism. Any word that harms anything about another is a curse and very few of us are not guilty of this. Satan and his demons specialize in making these curses manifest.

If we gossip about e.g. an individual, institution or a government we first of all create an unfair opinion in the minds of hearers, which often spread like fire through further gossip. These words, however, also reach the ears of evil forces who will gladly treat them as prophecies that they can make come true.

This week we are going to focus on the breaking of such curses, since Jesus came to set the captives free and anybody whose future, reputation or destiny are kept captive by words spoken irresponsibly or purposefully can be set free by reversing of such curses.

In this prayer we are going to:

• Confess and repent of curses we have spoken. Before you start listening to the sound clip and agreeing with it, take some time identifying specific curses you would like to confess, repent of, and reverse.
• Confess and repent on behalf of others for curses they have spoken.
• Breaking of curses and setting captives free.

Before you start praying, it is very important that you confess your sins, and ask for Jesus’ protection through His blood He shed for you

Prayer Points

• Lord I confess curses I have spoken over people as I mentioned earlier, as well as those I can't remember and were unaware of at the time.
• I repent of this irresponsible use of my tongue.
• We confess on behalf of others who spoke curses of which they are not even aware of and repent on their behalf.
• In the name of Jesus we cancel all curses spoken in such a way, reverse them and turn them into blessing. We declare them powerless and void of any effect that they may have on people.
• Lord, in Jesus name we exercise your authority over the evil forces that abuse curses spoken either in ignorance, or on purpose. By the authority exercised by Jesus and the ministering angels in response to our prayers, we declare their power useless.
• We exercise our authority in Christ by praying against the power that witchcraft attempts to implement through curses spoken by any motivation. We reverse the results thereof and render their effects useless, whether in the lives of individuals, families, organisations, countries or governments.
• By faith in the redeeming power of Jesus Christ, which He obtained through His final and complete victory over Satan, we exercise the authority we have as His children and representatives over all curse-related satanic activity, such as voodoo.
• We reverse any consequences and circumstances that were a result of curses and we proclaim blessing, as offered by Jesus Christ Himself, over those having been affected by such.
• We ask for wisdom, especially for children of God, but also for those acting in ignorance, when it concerns the use of the tongue, in order to avoid the proclamation of curses.
• We ask that you continually make us aware of our error the moment we have spoken a curse, whether it is by means of gossip, criticism or any expression of negative proclamation that concerns others. We ask for the required humility to there and then confess, repent of and reverse the words spoken.
• We surrender to you the control of our tongues, those of all other Christians, as well as those of innocent speakers acting in ignorance, and ask for immediate conviction so we can exercise the above-mentioned redeeming action.
• In conclusion we release your favour by faith to those affected by curses. We ask that your favour and provision bring them peace and joy.
