Prayer & Curses.

Genesis 3:14,17

Prayer and curses both have something in common.
They are both released by words.
They both come from the heart.
A person who is cursing another wants evil to befall that person he/she is cursing.
The curse is coming from the heart. Luke 6:45
A person cursing another, doesn't have a right heart towards the person he's cursing.

Prayer and curses proceed from the heart and are released by words.
Effective prayer must have a heart connection.

If a curse comes from the heart and is released by words, and prayer works that way to, then prayer can neutralize curses, particularly because prayer involves God.

God can also curse.
The first curse was uttered by God. (Read the whole of Genesis 3)
God is merciful.
We can commune with God, negotiate with God and appease God through prayer which can make Him remove curses from our lives.
In the place of prayer, we encounter God's presence which destroys curses.

A curse from God is one of the ways God punishes.
However, God doesn't seek to curse His own but to bless.
God's mercy can wipe out curses.
God's curses come under judgement, but mercy  triumphs over judgement.
James 2:3

Curses don't come without a reason.
If a curse makes it's way into a believers life and takes effect, it is because there was a reason, an open door that gave the curse an entrance. Proverbs 26:2
Curses can come when we break spiritual laws, when we cross spiritual lines that shouldn't be crossed.
Using the name of the Lord in vain can bring God's punishment. Ephesians 4:29
Sin is a door opener to curses.

We are not saved in Christ Jesus to be cursed.
Jesus saved us to redeem us from the curse. Galatians 3:13,14
There are promises we can stand on and operate with to keep us away from curses. Numbers 23:23
Curses are one of the ways the enemy steals, kills and destroys. John 10:10)

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
