Breaking free from curses requires understanding their biblical causes. Curses represent diminishment and reduction, opposite to blessings, and always have a cause. Churches experience curses through carnality, apostasy, and legalism. Individuals face curses through parental disrespect, robbing God of tithes, negative words, soulish prayers, anti-Semitism, occult involvement, and harmful words from authority figures. Generational patterns transfer through blood and example, but freedom is possible through examining your life, breaking generational ties, practicing forgiveness, speaking life-giving words, and establishing new godly patterns.
