The Curse Of Alcoholism

The Curse Of Alcoholism

Genesis 9:20-27 tells us that Noah was drunk when he discovered his nakedness. This was not some kind of happy accident but rather a result of his father’s curse on him. It is easy to see how this story could be used as an excuse for young people who drink too much or even become alcoholics in the future. However, the Bible makes it clear that alcoholism is not only a genetic disease but also a learned behavior. For example, if you find yourself having trouble managing your alcohol consumption and resisting peer pressure at school parties or bars, it’s likely you’ve been raised by parents or grandparents who have struggled with this issue themselves and learned from them what life looks like as an alcoholic—one party after another where you never stop drinking until it all comes crashing down around you.

The Curse Of Birth Defects

The curse of birth defects is very real in today’s society, and it’s a generational curse. The Bible says that curses come from the sins of our ancestors, and this one is no exception. Through the years, many people have been born with deformities or diseases because their parents sinned against God.

However, like all other generational curses, this can be overcome through repentance and prayer. It can also be overcome by confession before God and asking for forgiveness on behalf of your family members who were involved in past sins that brought about this bad luck on your life. In addition to repentance, there are also other things you can do to break the cycle of this awful condition: asking Jesus Christ into your heart will wash away all sin from your family line (John 1:12), as will being baptized into Christ (Acts 2:38), receiving His Holy Spirit (Titus 3:5-6) and obeying His commandments (John 14:15).

The Curse Of A Poor Me Attitude

A poor me attitude can be a curse that keeps you from accomplishing your goals and reaching your potential.

It is important to have a positive attitude in life, because a negative attitude will only get you in trouble. If you have an attitude of being sorry for yourself or being bitter about what has happened in your past, then it will be hard for God to bless you with His favor. A poor me attitude can make people believe that they are not worthy of anything good happening to them. This type of thinking will prevent them from moving forward with their lives and achieving their goals and dreams.

A person who has been cursed with this type of thinking will often blame everyone else but themselves for why things haven’t been working out well for them lately instead of taking responsibility for themselves by changing their attitudes toward others as well as changing their own behavior patterns so that they no longer display characteristics associated with those curses listed above (which could include making excuses instead of taking action).

If someone does not want his/her life situation changed because he/she thinks there’s nothing he/she can do about it anyway; then he/she might as well just give up now before trying anything else! But think again: if we don’t try something new now while there’s still time left over until tomorrow arrives; then tomorrow may never come!

The Curse Of a Broken Heart

The Curse Of A Broken Heart

When you consider the curse of a broken heart, it’s important to remember that there are many causes of this unfortunate situation. Some people may be cursed by a broken heart because of their own actions. They may have had relationships with people who were unfaithful or unkind, or they may have been subjected to abuse or other traumatic experiences as children. This type of self-inflicted curse can be overcome by taking responsibility for our actions and learning how to forgive ourselves and others who have hurt us in the past.

But what about when someone else has inflicted this type of injury? When it comes from outside sources such as family members, friends or partners? What if we can’t heal from those wounds because they were inflicted upon us by someone else? How do we fight against these kinds of curses?

The Curse Of Repeated Sin

The passage says, “For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.” (Galatians 3:10)

So the curse of repeated sin can be seen as being under a curse because you continue in doing what God has told you not to do and yet you will not stop breaking His law. This is why we need to understand that sin is more than just what we think or say but also includes our actions as well! If we continue doing things that God has said we should not do then this puts us under a curse!

The Curse Of Infertility

The curse of infertility is one that affects women and men, couples, families and communities.

It is a curse that affects the whole family line.

It is not just passed down from mother to daughter or father to son but also all the children who were born or never were born due to this curse. It affects generations upon generations!

Our pain is rarely rooted in the present

When somebody triggers us, it is rarely them who is causing the pain we are experiencing. It is rather that they are rubbing against a painful wound in our past. If a boss tells you that your work just isn’t good enough, it would have very little effect if you didn’t already believe that you weren’t good enough. If your parents made you feel ashamed of a B report card as a kid, you may go through life believing that you aren’t good enough, and when somebody comes along and rubs that wound, it will be 10X more painful than if you didn’t have that pre-existing belief about yourself. I hope that makes sense.

If somebody tells us we’re stupid and we know in our heart that we’re not, their words will have little meaning to us. If we already believe that we’re stupid in our heart (even though we know in our head that we’re not), then somebody comes along and speaks the lie that we already believe in our heart, that will trigger us. We’re here trying to deny that awful perceived fact, and how dare somebody comes up to us and tell us something that we’re already struggling with!

Rarely our present pain is caused by the present condition. The present condition is almost always triggering something we already believe about ourself or about God because of past experiences.

The role of our emotions

The western mind has really put many of us at a disadvantage. Many times we are told to deny our emotions, that our emotions can lie, or that we just can’t go by our feelings. I disagree. Our emotions tell us our our heart really believes to be true. If our heart believes we are not good enough to be loved by God, that’s exactly how we will feel, even if we know better in our mind. When a child is taught that it’s unacceptable to cry or show or even feel emotion, they are being taught to bury their pain, and that is very dangerous emotionally. We all need to be real about how we feel. Not that we should ever use our emotions to manipulate others, or that we should go around wearing our feelings on our sleeves, thus making others feel like they are walking on egg shells. None of that is healthy, but it is very important that we be real with ourselves about how we feel. Denying our feelings only suppresses our problems, and serves as a hindrance from us getting getting healed.

Our emotions are the bridge to the brief that we hold which keeps us in pain they tell us accurately what it is our heart really believes.

Logical belief vs experiential belief

Have you ever known something to be true but just didn’t feel like it was true? Like for example, let’s say you were struggling with feeling forgiven and loved by God you knew from scripture that God loves you and forgives you, but somehow you just don’t feel like that is true. Your emotions tell you otherwise. You struggle feeling like you are not loved or forgiven, but yet you know it’s just not true. Most of us have struggled with something that we know in our minds is not true, but in our hearts we sure feel like it’s true (that is, if we are honest with ourselves). Did you know that you can hold two opposing beliefs at the same time? Did you know that you can believe one thing in your mind such as “God supplies all my needs” yet the minute you lose your job start having a panic attack? Or no matter how many times you’re told that you are forgiven (and quoted all the great scriptures), you still question or wonder if you really are? That is because what you believe in your mind (logical belief) is not always the same thing that your heart believes because of what you have experienced. A good counselor can deal with what you logically believe and work through your issues on a head-level, but the Holy Spirit will work with you on a heart-level, and that makes a world of difference. I’m not saying counselors are ineffective and worthless, but there are many times they only scratch the surface and bring limited healing God wants to bring deep level healing and complete restoration in that person’s heart. True and genuine healing at the heart level brings lasting freedom and effortless victory for that individual.

The Holy Spirit is our counselor

I have recently took on a new approach to inner healing ministry, and I don’t think I will ever be doing ministry quite the same way. The process is very simple, yet can bring some of the deepest level of healing that I’ve ever seen. The foundation of this type of ministry is based on these important scriptures:

“But the Comforter [in newer translations they call Him the counselor], which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”
John 14:26 KJV

“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.”
John 16:13 KJV

When I traditionally addressed inner healing ministry, I would give great advise, good scriptures, and try to break away at faulty thinking patterns in the person I was ministering to. Now my focus is to get the person in a place where they can receive counsel directly from the Holy Spirit, who speaks to their heart and not just their head. While I can change what you logically believe, it is the Holy Spirit that can change what you believe experientially.
