Prayer won’t undo a curse
It won’t!
There are certain problems that prayers can’t solve.
For example, let’s take a look at King David case.
Satan incited him to take a census of Israel. There was no need for him to do that. Until then, Israel had already won many victories over their enemies.
He was loved by everyone and, above all, by the God of his forefathers.
But because he was driven by the weakness of vanity, he wanted to know the number of soldiers for the upcoming battle.
That is, he dismissed God’s Divine help to rely on his own physical strength. Such a heinous sin is what provoked God’s wrath.
Not even his faithful commander’s advice had any effect on his decision. His pride blinded him. Satan took advantage of that situation and of him.
The king’s pride went to his head and his sin up to heaven.
“For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption…” Galatians 6:8.
David proudly planted and harvested a curse.
From that moment on, the king’s prayers no longer reached God.
Even his confession and repentance wasn’t enough to move God’s heart.
The heavens closed up for David because the curse had already been determined.
Nevertheless, the Lord gave him three options as his punishment:
1 – Three years of famine in Israel;
2 – Three months in enemy hands or
3 – Three days of pestilence throughout Israel.
So the Prophet replied: “I am in great distress. Please let me fall into the hand of the LORD, for His mercies are very great; but do not let me fall into the hand of man.” I Chronicles 21:13
And now, what was he to do to reverse that situation?
A prayer? Cry out to God? Praise God? Give offerings? Do a fast? Attend a vigil? …
What attitude of faith could possibly touch God enough to put a stop to that curse?
Dressed in humility (sackcloth), David pleaded with God:
“Was it not I who commanded the people to be numbered? I am the one who has sinned and done evil indeed; but these sheep, what have they done? Let Your hand, I pray, O LORD my God, be against me and my father’s house, but not against Your people that they should be plagued.” I Chronicles 21:17
Finally, God gave him an answer:
A sacrifice on Araunah’s threshing floor, which would later be the site where Solomon’s Temple would be built.
On Sunday, we are going to the site where the Temple of Solomon is being built, to present the sacrifices of those who feel they’ve been cursed.
Dear reader, if you suspect that you’re a victim of a curse and are interested in participating in this purpose of faith, you may bring your sacrifice to any UCKG until Sunday.
May God have mercy on those who’ve fallen!
