Derek Prince begins with two pertinent statistics – how many times do we read the words ‘bless’ and ‘curse’ in the Bible ? Bless occurs 600 times and curse about 300 times.
Viewed in this light, blessings and curses feature quite significantly in the word of God and need to be given serious and appropriate attention.
The key Bible passage for both blessings and curses is to be found in Deuteronomy chapter 28 (all 68 verses !).
The definition of blessings and curses is offered – they are vehicles of supernatural power for good or for evil.
In this forensically detailed examination of the Biblical evidence for blessings and curses, Derek Prince supports this evidence with many telling examples from his own experience.
.
After going through the many causes of curses, some infecting generations of the same individual or family, the climax is reached with the way to get release form the malignant power of curses.
The Christian answer to curses is to be found in the divine exchange completed by the death of Jesus Christ on the cross.
The answer is given in Galatians ch 3 vv 13-14 –
“Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us – for it is written –
“Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree” (Deuteronomy ch 21 v 23) in order that in Christ Jesus the blessings of Abraham might come to the Gentiles so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”
This is a thorough and convincing study of a relatively neglected part of human experience.
