*THE CHRISTIAN CAN’T BE CURSED*
_Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing_ *(1 Peter 3:9)*
Some people gripe about the circumstances of their lives, thinking the reason things aren’t working out is that they’re perhaps under a curse. But if you’re a Christian, the Word of God is clear: you can’t be cursed. No family curse, ancestral curse, or a curse from the enemy can work against you. Only blessings are permitted to work and prevail in your life.
Ponder again what we read in our opening scripture: you were called to inherit a blessing. Moreover, the Bible says, *“...If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature...”* (2 Corinthians 5:17). You’re a new creature, superior to Satan and all his works. Therefore, it makes no difference that you were threatened by a witch doctor or voodoo priest; there’s no enchantment or divination that can work against you, for the Bible says, *“Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel…"* (Numbers 23:23).
Understand this: truth unknown is powerless, but truth known puts you over. If you don’t know what God has said about you, you could walk in fear and bondage. But the accurate knowledge of the Word makes you free: *“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free”* (John 8:32).
You don’t need anyone to *“lift”* a curse off you. Christ already blessed you, and in Him, you’ve been born anew and into the glorious liberty of the sons of God; you’re free forever! Think about it: if you were cursed, who would enforce it? The devil? You have more power than he and all his demons put together.
How about God? He would never supervise a curse against His own children. The only Christian who can live as though under a curse is the one who ignores or disdains the Word of God. To neglect, reject, or despise the Word is to step out from the covering of divine truth, and that, in itself, becomes a curse for, the Bible says, *“Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed...”* (Proverbs 13:13).
But as long as you’re in Christ, yielded to His Word and guided by the Spirit, you’re untouchable and walk in blessings only. You live in victory and walk in the boldness of your inheritance in Christ, blessed and empowered to reign. Glory to God!
*PRAYER*
_Dear Father, thank you for the life of blessing you’ve given me in Christ. I live far above the influence of darkness, walking in the liberty of your Word. I walk in victory and in the dominion of my righteousness in Christ, blessed and empowered to reign, in Jesus’ Name. Amen._
*FURTHER STUDY:*
*Numbers 23:19-23* God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? *20* Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it. *21* He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the Lord his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them. *22* God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn. *23* Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!
*Ephesians 1:3* Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
*Galatians 3:13-14* Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: *14* That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
