Proverbs 26:2 says Like the sparrow in her wandering, like the swallow in her flying, So the curse without cause does not come and alight [on the undeserving]. This means that a curse without the basis for it (without a cause) shall never stand. The first time the word "curse" was mentioned, it was directed to the devil and that speaks volume - that God issues a curse over anything that seeks to undermine you or that which seeks to hold you captive.

A curse is the opposite of a blessing and both are issued by words. As a believer, a curse is legally not allowed to operate in your life. Why? Because Gal 3:13 says Christ has redeemed you from every curse. As a child of God, Jesus Christ says He has given you the Holy Spirit. The Aramaic word for the Holy Spirit is paraqleta, which is taken from two root words: (1) praq, “to end, finish, or to save,” and (2) lyta, which means “the curse.” What a beautiful word picture: the Holy Spirit comes to end the work of the curse (of sin) in our lives and to save us from its every effect! Paraqleta means “a redeemer who ends the curse.”

This is the reason why a curse of any form is not allowed legally to operate in your life though you can experience its influence if you surrender yourself to deception and lying vanities.

Join us tomorrow at 8:00AM as we stream "The Anatomy of a Curse" on live.thelightshouse.org and we will seek to answer these 3 questions:

- Can a believer be cursed?

- Can a believer experience a curse?

- Is it OK to believe in generational curse?

Blessings
