Cursings and Blessings Cont'
I have spent a lifetime trying to figure out why my life was so bad.

As I thought about all the mean things people have said about me over the years, I have discovered that these mean things are curses that have been put on me.

Lots of people suffer these things because of gossip, and hateful cursings.  the worst thing about it is, those who are doing it don't know they are doing it.

Parents put curses on their kids, then wonder why their kids turn out so bad.

Years ago when women were gossipping across the fence while hanging the clothes out to dry, they had no idea they were setting a prescident for the future destruction of the United States.

In these last days before Christ returns, we should be blessing each other.  Cursing has become such a way of life, that people don't know anything else.  It is so commonly practiced that professing Christians put curses on esch other without even stopping to think.  Several years ago I coined the phrase "What Would Jesus Do?"  I can't take credit for it now, but I started it about fourteen yeasrs ago.  That doesn't matter now, the thing is, when we are talking or doing anything, we should be thinking what would Jesus do?

Jesus put a curse on a fig tree, and it dried up and died, but He never put a curse on a human being.

We are often taught that we are supposed to be Christ like, but no one knows how to teach us to be that way.  Everybody thinks that love conqueres all, which it does, but how can you say you love your brother, and speak words of cursing about him.  Like I said before, putting someone else down to make yourself look good is not Christ-like.  I have lived a life of cursings from every side.

Cursings also breed cursings.  I have found that when I complain about being in a bad situation, or in a situation I cannot do anything about, a whole group of people will "gang up" on me and spew out even more cursings.

How do we break these cueses in our lives?  I am still working on that.  I am praying that God will give me a full understanding of these things.  I believe one way to break curses is to start blessing each other.  How do we do that?

I believe that when someone starts saying bad things to you about someone, you shouldn't "add to" the cursings, you should kill the curse before it is started by saying something positive.  If someone tells you that so-in-so is lazy, you should say something positive like, I don't know, I've seen him work pretty hard, and he puts his all into the work he does.

The Bible says when two or three agree as touching any one thing it shall be established.  So, when two or three agree that someone is lazy, or stupid or wothless, then a curse is placed, and I know from experience that curses are hard to break.

I hope the poeple I go to church with will soon understand these things, and become a blessing to everyone they meet.  It is not their fault they don't understand these things, it was the way they were raised, it is what they were taught.

Christ wants to deliver us from the ignorance of our ways, and teach us to be like him.  We must get these judgemental attitudes out of our lives, we must stop putting curses on each other, we must learn to love each other, and the only way we can do that is to do what Jesus told us to do...Love thy brother as thyself.  I've got news for you, if you love your brother as yourself, you are not going to say bad things about him in a gossip session.  You wouldn't tell others you are too lazy to work in a pie factory, you shouldn't say that about someone else either.

Read and obey Acts 2:38
