We all have both
good and bad parts to what we have inherited from our
ancestors. We will dwell on the bad so that we can
destroy these works.
Mankind started in
Eden with bodies that could live forever, spirits that
were totally alive to God, and minds capable of naming
all of the animals (Gen. 1:27 thru 2:25).
Mankind still has an
adversary - the Devil. He is very cunning and sly. The
Devil attacks the weakest things around, working his
way up to the larger things within a person. His
attack was on Eve not Adam (Gen. 3:1-7). Men, in
general, will make up their minds and stick to their
decisions. Women will often make up their minds,
unmake and remake them over and over, suffering with
every decision. Adam and Eve faced Satan just like we
do.
Eve was tricked in
much the same way and over the same things that we are
tricked with today (Gen. 3:5): to be as big as God, as
smart as God, pleasant food, things delightful to look
at, and greed. Women are not content to be disobedient
alone (Gen. 3:7); she gave the fruit to Adam to eat
too.
BLESSINGS
AND CURSES
We all live with the
results of our actions. Blessings are the result of
obeying God. Curses are the result of obeying the
Devil - disobeying God.
We already had the
blessings in the Garden - now begins the curses of God
(Gen. 3:16-19). Pain in childbearing is not something
that women suffer alone; her husband suffers
emotionally at this time too. The ground is cursed
because man gave heed to his wife and obeyed her
against God's commandments. Women suffer as they watch
the hard, back-breaking or stressful work of their
husbands. And so began the power struggle that all men
and women engage in.
EARLINE'S
BACKGROUND
I have an Indian -
English - German - French background. There are curses
on each of these people: Indians worshipped demons;
some English and Europeans were Druids - they
worshipped Satan.
In innocence, my
father participated in some occult practices: wart
removal and water witching. From my father came curses
of Masons and Indians. Physical problems came as a
result of curses on Indian worship: inactive thyroid,
female disorders and heart disease.
My mother was a
paranoid schizophrenic with an Indian - English
background. Her emotional illness caused me to need a
lot of deliverance from emotional problems.
BLACK PEOPLE
I really don't know
about problems of black people like I do those of
Indians - Europeans. Together maybe we can follow the
leadership of the Holy Spirit and learn to solve
problems of many races of people with God's
provisions.
My dearest friend is
in Camaroon, Africa. She is a close observer of
people. She and I discussed the women she had met and
what she had observed of real fruit in the Christian
women's lives. Although the majority of the people who
are not Muslims claim to be Christian, there is still
more fear of the witch doctor than of God.
On the surface it
looks like a male dominated society, but with close
observance it may not be so. Men do not own as much
property as women. Each wife has to have her own hut
and lot. She provides for herself and children. Men go
from wife to wife and do not take any authority or
responsibility for children. All men are scared
spitless of the witch doctor.
Here you can see the
Ahab man. If he wants a woman other than his wife he
simply leaves. The other woman is invited to the hut
by his wife in order to get him to come around (I
Kings 21:1-29).
Maturity means you
care for your own needs and those of your dependents.
We see immature and irresponsible men, both black and
white, very often in Louisiana.
It has been
especially hard on the black man to take his place in
our society. After he was freed as a slave, there was
little work for him that paid enough to support his
family but a wife could always get a job. This helps
keep the applecart upset with the cart in front of the
horse. Because women are hired for lower wages than
men, they can almost always get a job outside of the
home. After a wife has worked on an outside job, she
will not be able to handle her home and children as
well. If a husband does not find a job, both his wife
and children will lose respect for his leadership.
Then there are the curses upon the man, wife and
children from his forbearers:
1. Children born out
of wedlock - cursed for ten generations (Deut. 23:2).
2. Making and
worshipping other gods - cursed for three to four
generations (Ex. 20:3-6).
3. All occult
practices - cursed three to four or more generations.
4. All the things
you can be cursed for (Deut. 27:15-26; 28:16-68, Isa.
3:16 -26).
LIST OF
BLESSINGS
How not to be cursed
is found in Deut. 28:1-14. Obedience in the spiritual
(supernatural) world is blessed in everyday (natural)
life. This is a list of blessings:
In city or country;
In children and animals; In food supply; In coming and
going; Enemies will not defeat you; In store for the
future; In all you undertake; In holiness.
AHAB -
JEZEBEL
Do you have more
than the usual problems in finances, housing, family,
etc.? This may be the curse of improper family
structure (Mal. 4:6). If someone does not stop the
pattern of living in the curse, they can go from
generation to generation. A mother who is a Jezebel
will raise Jezebel daughters and Ahab sons. Ahab
fathers will raise Ahab sons and Jezebel daughters. If
sons do not see their father as respected in his
office of father, they have no other example to the
contrary and will follow him; likewise, the girls will
probably choose a husband like their father.
When you have a
Jezebel-Ahab marriage, you will have men not committed
to God, home or children. These men prefer to play,
pretend they are men but only deceive themselves.
Likewise the women, who have to take over the
financial care and sometimes total responsibility for
the children, are equally deceived.
Deut. 28:47
discusses attitudes. We may sometimes feel we have a
yoke of iron on our neck. Guess who put it there? God
did because we do not serve Him with joyfulness. How
do we serve God here? We keep ourselves unspotted from
sin of any kind. We learn to obey God at home with our
own parents. We take care of our daily duties (Luke
16:10-13). If we serve God with joy in all these ways,
our lives are usually blessed.
WIFE AND
MOTHER
If you want to break
out of this pattern, you need to study all scriptures
on wives:
I Samuel 25; Luke
17:32; I Cor. 5:1; 7:2-4; 7:10-16; 11'3; Eph. 4:21-32;
5:22-28, 31 & 33; Col. 3:18-19; I Tim. 3:2, 11,12;
4:7; I Tim. 3:2, 11 & 12; 4:7; Titus 2:3-5; I
Peter 3:1, 7 I Peter 3:1 & 7
Earnestly seek God
for direction in your own family. There is a great
need for all mothers to observe Proverbs 31:10-31 and
to seek, as their necessary food, instructions from
God.
If you have had sex
with men other than your husband, you have a mental
and emotional tie to them called a soul tie. How does
this tie or bond work? In I Cor. 6:15-16 we become one
flesh with those we have sex with. We must repent,
turn away from sin, break the soul tie with each
person and cast out the demons (Lev. 26:40-42) The
demons in each person, desiring more sexual activity,
traffic between the people reminding each of the
other, trying to create desire and fanning desire into
reality.
WHOLE FAMILY
We must first
acknowledge our guilt and our ancestors' guilt. Humble
your heart and accept punishment. Then God will
remember His promises to the redeemed, heal and
restore. For some of us, the sins of up to four
hundred years ago are keeping us from our natural
everyday provisions, physical and mental health, and
most of all our spiritual health:
We can reverse
curses on the sender (Ps. 109:17). We can stop the
openings for curses to land on us (Prov. 26:2). We can
break curses on our families (Deut. 27:15-26 and
28:15-68).
