Bastard's curse

Bastard's Curse
Deut. 23:2: "A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the Lord."

In ministry, we have found the Bastard's Curse present when a person was conceived or born out of wedlock. Somehow children are curious about their parents' wedding date and correspondence to their birthday. Other times, it is obvious in that there was never a marriage. Spirits of rejection, abandonment and fear come into the child in the womb under these circumstances. The child knows whether or not they were a wanted baby. There is usually shame and guilt associated with their parents' behavior. If this is true in your life, it is important to forgive your mother and father for their sin and how it has effected you. If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, you are now a son or daughter of God, and you are not a bastard. Proclaim your position in Christ, and in His name and in His power and authority cast out the spirits of rejection, fear and abandonment. Ask the Holy Spirit to heal your heart in this area, and give you the blessing of a father; in this case the Heavenly Father. If you are the parent of a child born or conceived out of wedlock, ask their forgiveness and then give them your blessing. Tell your son or daughter that you are proud that they are yours, and break the bastard's curse in the name of Jesus.

Vows

Vows
Have you ever said: "I will never a let a man (or women) ever hurt me again?" Or, "I will never put myself in that position again." "I can't trust anybody." "Nobody can do it right but me." "I will never be like my mother (or father).""I will never be like that." "I will never share what I really feel, it is not safe." Many men say this about their mothers, and then it transfers to their wives. "Men (women) never do it right." "Don't share," etc. Proverbs teaches us that as we think in our hearts, so we become (Proverbs 23:7a). If we make these "vows," or statements, they are waiting to be fulfilled, and Satan will make sure that they happen. Many of these vows were said as children, yet they effect our lives as adults. If you have ever made such statements, it is now time to go before the Lord, and repent and break the power of the curse that was has placed on your life.
