Hi, Book Travelers!
Before we even get into the book, Ten Curses that Block the Blessing, we need to begin to understand what a curse is. It can be defined as a negative spoken prediction of what someone desires to see come to pass in another's life. An example of this can be seen in what Jesus did to the fig tree in one of the gospels. Or it can be a situation that one walks into as a result of his or her actions. The only example I can think of in the Bible is Judas Iscariot, when he betrayed Christ. I don't believe that he could have done anything to erase that curse off of his life, so the only thing he could have done was take his own life in order to relieve the agony he was feeling.
Deuteronomy 28 tells of the choices of blessing and cursing that we inherit because of one word: OBEDIENCE. Let's examine our lives and ask God to open our hearts, dealing with us in this area, so that the curses the enemy has planted to stop us from experiencing all of God can be removed.
We'll be discussing this topic for the next few weeks, so get ready...
