Deliverance or Bondage? (Pt.9) Blessings and Curses Pt. 2 – Paul M. Williams

Blessings and Curses Pt. 2 The Bible is full of commandments from God with attached blessings to them.  Conversely, there are other verses in the Old Testament with attached curses.  With that in mind, it might well be said, "What's the need for this teaching? Blessings and curses are Biblical." However, as one compares what Derek Prince teaches, to that which Holy Scripture teaches, there are fundamental and major differences.  As one looks in the Old Testament at the theme of blessings and curses one will find that it exists in the framework of covenant relationship.  In Deuteronomy 28 (and the parallel passage in Leviticus 26), God lays before His covenant people Israel, a number of blessings and many more curses, conditional upon their obedience or disobedience respectively.  What would you think, if one was to take the covenantal blessings and curses given to Israel and use them as a universal framework for all mankind today?  That's precisely what Derek Prince does. In this ninth teaching part, we look at a list of blessings and curses drawn up by the late Derek Prince and ask the crucial question, "Can a Christian be cursed?"  Are generational curses operative in the life of the blood-bought children of God?  What about the common saying, "No curse without a cause?"  We provide Biblical answers to each of these questions in this ninth teaching part.
