Spiritual Warfare Series: Curses as Earthquakes in the Spirit Realm

MORNING REVELATION ON MONDAY DECEMBER 19, 2016

This is a warning to gossips and those who wish harm and destruction against the Lord's servants the prophets. This is what the Lord revealed this morning.

Those who gossip and spread rumors against God's prophets are attempting to and, in some cases, cursing them. The Lord says, this causes an earthquake in the Spirit realm. And like an earthquake causes much damage far beyond its epicenter so, too, is the damage caused by a curse. The worst part is not the curse itself, however. It is the wrath of God on the "curser" as long as the object of the curse releases/forgives and blesses those who have become their revilers. Until the curser is released into God's hands, to Whom vengeance belongs, that curser remains undealt with to the fullest degree. Additionally, no one can control the effects of an earthquake.

I remember the first time I experience an earthquake while in California training for the mission field in 2008. To a native Californian that was negligible, but to me, a novice, it was terrible because of the absolute lack of control. What can you do when the firm ground you are standing on begins to shake and buckle as if it's about to give way from right under you. That is something you never want to experience twice. However, in the Spirit we stand on the ultimate Rock, Who cannot be moved. A person who claims to be a believer but reviles and hates another is on shaky ground, not planted on the solid Rock, Who is Jesus Christ.

With that said, let's get into a very important lesson the Lord just recently taught me about curses, intense hatred, and the opportunistic nature of the enemy in such situations.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: Although this lesson I am about to share came from the Lord, I do not presume to make it as important as Scripture and the theological instruction of the Bible. Only Scripture is Scripture. In addition, my experiences are indeed subjective, because they happen to me, but they are instructive for how we respond according to God's word and how to overcome the works of the enemy, which is what Jesus came to model for us. Please read the Scripture references in depth and do further study on your own.

If you are doing ANYTHING for the Lord, seeking to live righteously, and to teach others how to do likewise, YOU WILL ENCOUNTER SPIRITUAL WARFARE AND INTENSE HATRED. THE KEY IS TO ALWAYS, ALWAYS, RESPOND IN LOVE, ESPECIALLY WHEN REVILED!!!!

CURSES THAT TAKE EFFECT

Curses, and destructive prayers, are the results of demonically energized hatred. They can cause havoc in the life of the one who is cursed, depending on the unique situation and any left-over access the enemy may still have on the life of the one cursed. That access could be in areas of the life undealt with from past generations, life before Christ, or sin in which they still indulge.

That sin, by the way, does not have to be  something  illicit; it can be something as subtle as an aspect of the person's thought-life. For instance, it can be a wrong perception of God based on a lie of the devil. Consider the original lie Adam and Eve believed that precipitated their sin against God. (Genesis 3 :6 ).

OPPOSING, AND SPEAKING AGAINST, THE PROPHET'S ASSIGNMENT IS
OPPOSING GOD HIMSELF

     MOSES, AARON, AND MIRIAM

Back to the spiritual earthquake and speaking against the prophet of the Lord. When you engage in opposing the work the Lord has sent the prophet to do, you oppose God Himself. That means, you are now at war against God. Thankfully, in that war, there can only be one loser - and it's never God. Consider, for a moment, the resulting judgment when Miriam and Aaron gossiped against Moses. She was struck with leprosy; and it was Moses, the target of the gossip, who was the only one who could effectively intercede for her to be healed. See how God set that up? (Numbers 12:1-14).

Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married; for he had married an Ethiopian woman. So they said, “Has the Lord indeed spoken only through Moses? Has He not spoken through us also?” And the Lord heard it. (Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all men who were on the face of the earth.)Suddenly the Lord said to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, “Come out, you three, to the tabernacle of meeting!” So the three came out. Then the Lord came down in the pillar of cloud and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam. And they both went forward. Then He said,
“Hear now My words:
If there is a prophet among you,
I, the Lord, make Myself known to him in a vision;
I speak to him in a dream.
Not so with My servant Moses;
He is faithful in all My house.
I speak with him face to face,
Even plainly, and not in dark sayings;
And he sees the form of the Lord.
Why then were you not afraid
To speak against My servant Moses?”
So the anger of the Lord was aroused against them, and He departed. 10 And when the cloud departed from above the tabernacle, suddenly Miriam became leprous, as white as snow. Then Aaron turned toward Miriam, and there she was, a leper. 11 So Aaron said to Moses, “Oh, my lord! Please do not lay this sin on us, in which we have done foolishly and in which we have sinned. 12 Please do not let her be as one dead, whose flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb!”
13 So Moses cried out to the Lord, saying, “Please heal her, O God, I pray!”
14 Then the Lord said to Moses, “If her father had but spit in her face, would she not be shamed seven days? Let her be shut out of the camp seven days, and afterward she may be received again. 15 So Miriam was shut out of the camp seven days, and the people did not journey till Miriam was brought in again. 16 And afterward the people moved from Hazeroth and camped in the Wilderness of Paran.

      JOB AND HIS "FRIENDS"

Similarly, remember Job and his "dear" friends who for 7  days told him what a terrible person he was; and, essentially, that he deserved his misery. Again, in the end, God told Job's friends how wrong they were in their assessment of his situations, and that He was coming after them. God warned them that they'd better repent and ask Job, the object of their rebuke, for forgiveness as that was their only recourse to avoiding God's wrath. Imagine, they had to ask the object of revile to intercede with God for them. The same God they seemed convinced, they knew better than Job. And we see that Job did not hold them in contempt as He did just as God knew he would. (Job  42:7-10).

And so it was, after the Lord had spoken these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is aroused against you and your two friends, for you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has. Now therefore, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, go to My servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and My servant Job shall pray for you. For I will accept him, lest I deal with you according to your folly; because you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.”  
So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the Lord commanded them; for the Lord had accepted Job. 10 And the Lord restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.
WHAT ARE THE LESSONS HERE?
TO THE REVILED/CURSED

1) Let God take care of your enemies. He is best at it anyway.
2) You still have to love everyone
3) If there is any truth in the criticism, take it to God
4) Seek healing and deliverance for areas where needed
TO THE REVILERS/CURSERS
1) You are fighting God and you will lose
2) You are at the epicenter of the earthquake
3) The one you revile has the answer to your deliverance
4) You are harboring an anti-anointing/anti-Christ spirit
5) Seek deliverance and healing from the areas that cause you to curse and revile the Lord's anointed and anointing
6) Get into God's presence and experience His love
7) Spread His love to all including those you have reviled

Remember, when you gossip, curse, revile others as believers in Christ, you cause spiritual earthquakes that cause years of after-shocks in the soul realm, for which you will be held responsible until you repent and obey God in whatever He tell you to do in remedy if anything.

Finally, God is good, and His love for everyone, regardless of which side of the equation they are on, is exactly the same. None of us are better than the other. And ...

THE SHOCKER

We have all, at least once been on the side of the reviler, and have gossiped and either knowingly or inadvertently, "cursed" someone. If you think you have not, then you are lying to yourself. That is why the Bible says, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit." (Proverbs 18:21). Ouch! Can you imagine eating the fruit of death when loving and speaking death? Put away the idea that you have to be practicing the magical arts to have given into a spirit of witchcraft. First, of all, that is the nature of witchcraft, attempting to manufacture results for selfish ungodly gain by illegal supernatural power. The biblical definition also focuses on the manipulation and control aspects of it to control/steer the future to a desired end. We may use human soulish efforts but that very quickly descends into something demonically energized.

Habitually practicing such things does make a person a witch. And, yes, witches do sit in pews, lead ministries and even pastor churches. Hard to imagine but we live in a day where it is not difficult to gather people and purchase credentials. But that's another matter for another day.

Thankfully, God forgives and His Love saves us through Jesus Christ. Therefore, none of us have to stay where we are regardless of which side of this equation we find ourselves.

MY OBJECT LESSON: GOD PROVES LATER THAT SAME DAY WHAT HE HAD REVEALED/FORETOLD EARLY IN THE MORNING

As is so often the case with the Lord, He solidified this lesson with action. That He would let me know ahead of time what I would face, is the very reason to meet with the Lord early in the morning before facing the world. Goes to prove that the early bird catches something much better than a worm.

You see, the previous day during prayer with a friend, she said the Lord impressed upon her to reveal something she had just learned because she sensed that for me it hit close to home in terms of my moms constant bout with "illness" within the past 18 months. She had bought a book written by a medical doctor, Rebecca Brown, who began having bouts with mystery illnesses. Through some means, it was revealed that the illness were a result of her being the object of intense hatred. The connection is that with intense hatred comes the bad thought and words spoken over a person, which manifests in to curses. Hence, the reason for my opening conclusion. Once she dealt with the issues according to God's recipe, and she did not have to know the exact source, she experienced healing. She sensed my mom was the object of intense hatred and we prayed according to the remedy laid out by the Lord. However, we know that Scripture tells us to bless those who curse us. That releases us from any effects.

       A CURSE WITHOUT A CAUSE

So later in the day after sending off a document that I knew would meet challenges, I was driving and got off my exit and immediately felt like I would pass out, yet I knew it was not due to illness but "something" literally, in the spirit, flying over me and trying to knock me out. I thought something was going on at that moment. I later realized from a communication I saw several minutes later, that it was a curse sent at me, borne by intense hatred. Praise God or deliverance. It could not sit on me and cause the desired effect because it was without cause. I was simply doing God's will.

Proverbs 26:2
Like a flitting sparrow, like a flying swallow, So a curse without cause shall not alight.
So the Lord taught me an object lesson and fleshed out the Scripture for me to see and pass it on to you. (He had even told me where to find it except for the verse.) If you know you have been cursed in such a way, release your revilers - and yourself - by forgiving them.

SOLVING ALL OF OUR PROBLEMS - NO MORE CURSING EACH OTHER

Friends, the Lord is reminding me that if we but lived according to the Greatest Commandment, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind." and the Second Greatest Commandment which is like it:

Matthew 22:37-39
37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
 OBEDIENCE TO THESE TWO GREATEST COMMANDMENTS WOULD SOLVE 100% OF ALL OF THE WORLD'S PROBLEMS WITH GOD AND WITH EACH OTHER.

PRAYER OF RELEASE FOR THE REVILED AND THE REVILER:

FATHER GOD, THANK YOU FOR REVEALING AREAS THAT GRIEVE YOUR HEART ABOUT OUR DEALINGS WITH EACH OTHER. LORD HELP US AS WE SEEK TO LIVE IN RIGHT RELATIONSHIP TO YOU AND EACH OTHER IN KEEPING WITH THE TWO GREATEST COMMANDMENTS. LORD, FORGIVE ME WHERE I HAVE EITHER INADVERTENTLY OR PURPOSELY THOUGHT BAD THOUGHTS AND SAID BAD THINGS INTENDING TO HURT ANOTHER OF YOUR PRECIOUS CREATIONS AND CHILDREN. TEACH ME HOW TO LOVE LIKE YOU DO, LORD AND MAKE ME AN EXAMPLE OF THE WAY YOU LOVE THAT THE EVIL WOULD NEVER AGAIN HAVE USE OF EITHER MY TONGUE OR MY MIND OR MY PHYSICAL BODY TO DO HIS DIRTY WORK. THANK YOU, LORD, THAT I MIGHT NOW WALK IN DIVINE FREEDOM FROM THIS BONDAGE. I RELEASE ALL THOSE WHO HAVE CURSED ME AND BLESS THEM TO RECEIVE OF YOUR FULLNESS FOR THEIR LIVES. PLEASE BRING RECONCILIATION SPEEDILY ACCORDING TO YOUR PLAN, LORD. IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS THE KING AND FOR THE GLORY OF HIS KINGDOM. AMEN!
