CURSES WILL NOT STICK TO RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD

RHEMA 4/20/02 CURSES WILL NOT STICK TO RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD

HEARD: You are the righteousness of God through Christ Jesus.

2 Cor 5:20-21 NKJV

Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

HEARD: A causeless curse will not land.

BOB JONES PRAYER: I heard Bob Jones pray on a tape over those who had arthritis in the meeting. He said a curse will not land without a cause, and that since they had repented of their sins, he said: “You spirit of arthritis, you are now released from your commission in Jesus Name.”

Prov 26:2 NKJV

Like a flitting sparrow, like a flying swallow, so a curse without cause shall not alight.

These curses come from witchcraft and demonic assignments. It is good to remember God's promise:

Prov 21:7 NLT

Because the wicked refuse to do what is just, their violence boomerangs and destroys them.

Prov 16:7 NKJV

When a man's ways please the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.

HEARD: Health is coming. I am training you. On the edge. Discipline. Now that you belong to Christ you are not your own. Enough said. Good times are coming.

1 Cor 6:19-20 NKJV

Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.

Ps 100:3 NKJV

Know that the LORD, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

Titus 2:14-15 NKJV

Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.

WORD TO PONDER 4/20/02 CAUSELESS CURSES

My people are sick and some of the diseases upon their bodies are because of curses. A curse will not take hold unless there is a cause for it to do so. Sin is the cause for attached curses. I allow these curses to discipline My people so that they would turn from their wicked ways. These curses will not lift until there is confession and repentance of sins.

Mankind is not righteous on their own, for all have sinned and fallen short of My glory. And I bought their righteousness with My blood. As you confess and turn from your disobedience to My Word, apply My blood to the stains of your sins, I will wash you and declare you righteous and no evil thing can land upon you.

“Like a flitting sparrow, like a flying swallow, so a curse without cause shall not alight.” (Prov 26:2 NKJV)

“Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.” (1 Cor 6:19-20 NKJV)

RHEMA 4/9/02 Confess your faults so you may be healed

HEARD: He sees no fault in thee. A virgin doing My will. Chaste.

2 Cor 11:2 NKJV

For I am jealous for you with godly jealousy. For I have betrothed you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

COMMENT: That means that all my sins are covered under the blood. I heard David Hogen, a man working in signs and wonders in the mts of Mexico and also John G Lake say that they have words of knowledge of people's sins that are not confessed or covered under the blood of Jesus. Lake's wife had the gift of discernment to be able to tell people what was not under the blood so that they could repent and confess, then receive their healing. These were people that did not get healed, then John sent them to her, she discerned, then after they confessed, they prayed again and the people were healed.

CONFESS YOUR SINS THAT YOU MAY BE HEALED

James 5:16 KJV

Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

WORD TO PONDER: CONFESSING YOUR SINS 4/5/02

How precious you are to be willing to confess your sins in a public arena, if it meant making a difference to My kingdom and to others. Your heart is so precious to Me. I receive your yielded and humble heart. Your willing sacrifice is a sweet smelling savor. Thank you dear one, but I do not want you to suffer any more shame. You have already confessed to Me, and to your loved one in private, that is more than enough.

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” (1 John 1:9-10 KJV)

WORD TO PONDER: CAUSELESS CURSES 4/20/02

“Like a flitting sparrow, like a flying swallow, so a curse without cause shall not alight.” (Prov 26:2 NKJV)

WORD TO PONDER: WEAK AND GROANING? TRY CONFESSION 12/06/03

Are your bones aching, is your soul groaning and your energy waning? Try confessing your sins. Embracing compromise always causes spiritual blindness. Blind ones no longer abhor evil, nor turn away from it, nor weep over it. All men are blind in their own wisdom, therefore always acknowledge Me in this and I shall direct your ways.

As you fear your holy God, and depart from evil, this shall be health to your flesh and strength for your bones. Confess and turn from your compromise and hear My generous forgiveness with loving mercy. It is true, My good report makes your bones healthy. My pleasant Words are sweet to your soul and health to your bones.

Ps 32:3-6 NLT

When I refused to confess my sin, I was weak and miserable, and I groaned all day long. Day and night your hand of discipline was heavy on me. My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat. Finally, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide them. I said to myself, "I will confess my rebellion to the LORD." And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone. Therefore, let all the godly confess their rebellion to you while there is time, that they may not drown in the floodwaters of judgment.

WORD TO PONDER: DOING THE DAILYS 1/29/04

As you go forth in ministry, it is important that you learn to keep your mouth clean. Brushing your spiritual teeth is allowing Me to clean your speech and your tongue with the washing of My Word. Daily maintenance of repentance and confession before Me will develop a lifetime habit. Likewise the curses of witchcraft are hurled through the air and will land upon those who do not keep daily care over their mouths. The tongue can give life or destruction and it is time My own grew up into the adulthood of daily washing.

Isa 54:14 AMP

You shall establish yourself in righteousness (rightness, in conformity with God's will and order): you shall be far from even the thought of oppression or destruction, for you shall not fear, and from terror, for it shall not come near you.

WORD TO PONDER: JOSHUA IS STRIPPED 2/12/05

A season has come when the sons of high calling, whose garments have become stained in sin and filth, shall go through a stripping. It speaks of when the high priest was stripped naked before the other priests, prior to being endued with his garments for service. Dear ones, this is not just a public exposure of private sin, but it is an authentic experience of a transparent manifestation of what has been dwelling in the darkness. The stripping of carnal disobedience and addictions is a painful and humiliating process until there is a desperation to be set free by the truth made known.

There is only one way to be washed clean and set free from the addictions of the sins of the body: confession. As My sons confess their sins before trusted ones in prayer, they shall be washed clean through their tears of a broken and contrite heart. Their tears of brokenness shall water the hardened ground of their souls and tares, for the sins of many generations shall be uprooted in their lives. They shall walk away clean, free and delivered from addictions that could not be broken any other way. A broken and contrite heart, I the Lord, will not despise.

Zech 3:1-5 NKJV

Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the Angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to oppose him. And the LORD said to Satan, "The LORD rebuke you, Satan! The LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a brand plucked from the fire?" Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the Angel. Then He answered and spoke to those who stood before Him, saying, "Take away the filthy garments from him." And to him He said, "See, I have removed your iniquity from you, and I will clothe you with rich robes." And I said, "Let them put a clean turban on his head." So they put a clean turban on his head, and they put the clothes on him. And the Angel of the LORD stood by.

WORD TO PONDER: FALLING SHORT OF MY IMAGE 6/02/05

My dear battered child, how often you whip yourself with condemnation and self battered thoughts! I simply do NOT condemn you like this. This condemnation places a wall of separation between us, and keeps you from receiving My love. Yes, I understand you have fallen short. Yes, I understand you have failed to measure up to My image. But I understand even deeper than you, that much of your failings are due to wounds you can not heal.

When what you see does not measure up in your attitudes and your behavior, all I ask is that You not hide from the truth, but offer it up to Me in confession. Ask for My forgiveness and My touch to make you whole. My love covers a multitude of failings, dear one. I AM infinitely more patient than you are, and I see the end from the beginning. When I see you, I see your level of maturity and the fallen places that need healing and I understand. I send exactly what you need to raise up My full stature into your life, through one simple step at a time.

Pour out your heart to Me with confession and yielding, for I will listen to every word. I wrap My arms around you, precious one, and just ask you to rest. Come now and rest, rest, rest. Rest in My arms of love.

Heb 4:15-16 NKJV

For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Eph 4:1-3 NLT

… lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God. Be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other's faults because of your love. Always keep yourselves united in the Holy Spirit, and bind yourselves together with peace.
