Rom 12:14
14 Bless those who persecute you, bless and do not curse.
I used to believe that we Christians have the power to curse those who have really hurt us. The truth is that we have such powers but we in the new covenant are not to use this power to curse because the spirit that operates in us is one of mercy. There are spiritual principles here I would love us to look at: When someone offends you and you forgive the person, you are behaving indeed like your father in heaven and you are showing that you understand His grace and mercy towards you - this is the only condition Jesus gave for receiving forgiveness from God when we repent. There are curses that satan will want to afflict us with because of our shortcomings but God does not let that happen because we are His sons indeed; we forgive and do not curse others who have hurt us as well.
Again, when we curse people who hurt us, we are judging them already because those curses are a form of judgment for their wicked actions. But our lord says we should not judge (see Luke 6:37); that we should consent judgment to God. God indeed judges and His judgment is the most just and most soothing.
Go into today determined to use the power that God has put in your tongue to build up and not tear down; begin to decree into existence those your desires you mentioned to God yesterday.
Prayer: Thank you heavenly father because you are the lord of my life and my judge. I pray you help me walk in your perfect will every day; that blessings shall radiate out of me, in Jesus name I pray. Amen
