Breaking curses Bible verses
As we all know, the Bible is the most powerful Book in the world, and it contains untold knowledge and wisdom that can help us to achieve any positive outcome in life.
Here, I am sharing with you 25 Breaking Curses Bible Verses that will help you overcome all your life problems.
Matthew 16:19 – We are set free from sin and can follow Jesus.
I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven
Matthew 16:19 (ESV)
When we reassure people that everyone who accepts Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord receives eternal life, that God has already approved assurance is a powerful motivator.
A firm heavenly decree is being proclaimed here on earth. We are granted authority to break every curse that is keeping us bound as joint heirs and members of the body of Christ. By doing so, we are set free from sin and can follow Jesus in spirit and truth.
Isaiah 54:17 – He who is in us is more significant than He in the world.
Noweapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me,” declares the LORD.
Isaiah 54:17 (NIV)
The Lord promises His followers that “vengeance is Mine, and I will repay.” Whatever nefarious devices and cunning plans are devised against God’s people, they will one day be judged by our heavenly Lord, and any plots against us will completely fail… their plans will fail, and the weapons of their warfare will not prosper.
Because He who is in us is more significant than He who is in the world, we must never be afraid of those who can only wage war against our physical bodies, which, like grass on the field, are only present for a fleeting instant in the history of eternity.
Galatians 3:13-14 – The Law’s curse.
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.” He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.
Galatians 3:13-14 (NIV)
Moses is credited as stating that the punishment for prisoners found guilty was hanging from a tree as a symbol of God’s curse against them.
Being raised and hanging on the Calvary Tree, Christ became a curse for us, freeing us from the Law’s condemnation.
Proverbs 26:2 – He has the power.
Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow, an undeserved curse does not come to rest.
Proverbs 26:2 (NIV)
The Lord blesses and curses, but our sins are the source of the LORD’s greatest curse, which guarantees eternity in the Lake of Fire.
The elect, however, will be exempt from all curses in heaven for eternity because the Son of God was made a curse for them! Hallelujah! And it is proper to curse those who do not love Him.
James 4:7 – Christians are not subject to the Law but rather to grace.
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
James 4:7 (NIV)
Every time we let sin influence our decisions and drive us toward evil, we put ourselves back under the devil’s sway and open ourselves up to curses.
Christians are not subject to the Law but rather to grace. We can either live in the lust of the flesh or walk in spirit and truth as God’s children who are saved by grace through trust in Christ.
We must eliminate noise, thwart the devil’s schemes, and accept Christ fully and without reservation to break the curse that prevents us from approaching God.
2 Corinthians 5:17 – God creates something brand-new, unique, and magnificent in us.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!
2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV)
Paul comes to his epic conclusion after describing the weakness of human flesh and the enigmatic glory of the cross of Christ, which is that anybody who is in a relationship with Christ and believes that His finished work on Calvary paid the payment for their sins has been transformed into a new creation.
Whatever curse we were in, Jesus Christ has freed us from it by taking the burden and carrying the chains for us. We become new animals when you take his hands in yours and stand up to walk with him.
This new nature does not involve retraining the old sinful self or patching the old sinful nature. Instead of patching up what is broken, God creates something brand-new, unique, and magnificent in us.
Psalm 91:1-16 – We are supposed to put our trust in him.
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
Psalm 91:1-16 (NIV)
We can firmly state that the Lord is our fortress and refuge. He aids and guards us, and we are supposed to put our trust in him.
We are rescued by grace through faith; it is through grace through faith that we are to live, both now and every day. By the grace and through faith, we are made one with Christ.
We are individuals who have trusted God and learned that He is our dependable Shield and tremendous Defender, as well as our secure Protection and spiritual Covering.
1 Timothy 5:8 – Take responsibility.
If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever
1 Timothy 5:8 (NIV)
The inclination for people to leave care for the needy to the government is a similar issue in today’s society.
Especially when it comes to the poor in one’s own family, and especially in one’s immediate household, it seems God reckons it a manifestation of belief in him to take responsibility for the needy widow or anyone else who is genuinely unable to care for themselves.
Paul highlighted that a man had a duty to take care of his family and make every effort to support them. This is the barest minimum that a Christian man should uphold; otherwise, his behavior is worse than that of an atheist.
Ephesians 6:12 – We have access to Christ’s victory.
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
Ephesians 6:12 (NIV)
We do not fight against a flesh and blood enemy; instead, we wrestle against a foe who cannot be defeated in the natural or physical worlds.
The authors of wickedness, deceit, lies, fear, sin, evil, unrest, and war are many evil principalities and powers with whom we are in a spiritual conflict.
But we now have access to Christ’s victory at Calvary through faith. Only through HIM.. and the spiritual weapons of war that He provides can we successfully wrestle against the evil forces in our world today.
He defeated Satan through His death, burial, and resurrection. May we use Christ as our armor and sword in this spiritual battle so that we will come out Victorious in the end.
Exodus 34:7 – All retribution for sin has been paid for.
Maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation.”
Exodus 34:7 (NIV)
This text’s “sins of the father” can be interpreted as idolatry and disbelief. In other words, the Israelites lacked faith in God’s ability to fulfill His promise to lead them securely into the Promised Land.
It’s crucial to remember that even under the Mosaic Law, children were not obligated to pay the price for their parents’ transgressions. Sin does not exist without repercussions, and children (and grandchildren) of sinners can anticipate suffering the unpleasant, earthly implications of that sin.
All retribution for sin has been paid for once and for all by Jesus and His death on the cross; those who trust Him are not held accountable.
James 5:16 – Remain in Him and live a virtuous life.
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
James 5:16 (NIV)
We can only pray in spirit and truth if we remain in Him and live a virtuous life in Christ Jesus: “And the effective prayer of a righteous man can achieve much.”
Prayer
I want to stay in close contact with You, Heavenly Father, and to live a good life in Christ Jesus. Help me acknowledge my shortcomings, so I can swiftly ask for Your pardon.
Help me also to apologize to those I have offended, and I ask that I continue to pray and develop a sincere, spirit-filled prayer life so that, through Christ, my prayers will be powerful and of great benefit to You and the world. In Jesus’ name, I humbly pray for this.
Ezekiel 18:19-20 – God considers each life.
“Yet you say, ‘Why should not the son suffer for the iniquity of the father?’ When the son has done what is just and right, and has been careful to observe all my statutes, he shall surely live. The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not suffer for the iniquity of the father, nor the father suffer for the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself
Ezekiel 18:19-20 (ESV)
In this passage, God challenges us to consider that if a father and son are related, why shouldn’t the son be held accountable for the parent’s actions?
God sees each person as an individual before Him, which explains this. There are undoubtedly some ways in which God may favor or condemn a group of individuals, but when it comes to eternity, God considers each life.
Bible Verses to Break Curses
Breaking curses is a blessing from God to help people remove the harmful consequences from their lives. Besides being a sign of your faith, it can also be one of the most powerful ways to break free from any curse you might be under.
The following Bible verses have been carefully selected to instill your faith and encourage you to break curses in the name of Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
2 Corinthians 5:17 (ESV)
Only by acting on what we hear from the lovable Lord Jesus and living in excellent connection with Him should we never forget that we are not a repaired or mended version of the old model of Christ.
God does not recondition or restore the former life. We are not only made right; we are entirely transformed; we are born into a new creation and united to Christ.
Accepting this truth in righteousness and genuine holiness by faith, let us do whatever we do, from this day forward, even in the future, to His praise and glory.
Proverbs 26:2
Like a sparrow in its flitting, like a swallow in its flying, a curse that is causeless does not alight
Proverbs 26:2 (ESV)
So a curse won’t start without reason: Like a bird flies without coming to rest, a curse uttered in God’s presence without good reason will not come to fruition.
A curse cannot be cast simply by saying it; it needs to be justified before God has any power.
The proverb implies that the unjust or inappropriate curse is ineffectual since the Sovereign does not support it because the Creator and Lord of history is the source of blessing and cursing through a fellow human being.
James 5:16
Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.
James 5:16 (ESV)
We are urged to confess our transgressions to one another and to pray for one another as James concludes his letter, knowing that a good man’s powerful prayer can achieve much.
Deuteronomy 28:1-68
“And if you faithfully obey the voice of the Lord your God, being careful to do all his commandments that I command you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, if you obey the voice of the Lord your God. Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the field. Blessed shall be the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground and the fruit of your cattle, the increase of your herds and the young of your flock. Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. …
Deuteronomy 28:1-68 (ESV)
The Law, the offering, and the choice were the central tenets of the covenant God made with Israel.
The two-edged sword represented the covenant’s element of the option. Disobedience would bring about severe curses, but obedience would bring immense blessings.
Even while God does not enjoy a sinner’s death, he undoubtedly wants to glorify his justice toward unrepentant sinners since exercising all of his characteristics must necessarily pleasure him, or he would not be completely content.
God commands us to follow his instructions as his children to avoid facing his wrath on judgment day because there won’t be any mercy then.
Isaiah 54:17
No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall confute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me, declares the Lord.”
Isaiah 54:17 (ESV)
Even though Israel may have been the objective of this passage, it applies to all of God’s children of all ages. This is because no weapon formed against God’s people will succeed, and every tongue that accuses them of judgment will be condemned.
We are fortunate that this promise applies to all of God’s people. “This is the inheritance of the Lord’s servants, and their justification comes from Me,” the LORD proclaims.
Galatians 3:13-14
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”— so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith..
Galatians 3:13-14 (ESV)
The Law put us under a curse since we didn’t genuinely do it and accomplish it entirely, but Christ has redeemed us from that curse. However, Jesus has now delivered us from the Law’s condemnation.
The word “redeemed” means to “buy back” or “purchase out of.” To save someone, one must pay the price. Jesus purchased our freedom from the Law’s penalty.
Psalms for Breaking Curses
Psalms are potent verses that contain truths and promises. Here, I’ll share some of the most powerful Psalms for breaking curses and finding healing.
These Psalms will surely motivate and bless you as you seek to overcome any circumstance in your life that stands between you and God’s best.
Psalm 94:1-2
O Lord, God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, shine forth! 2 Rise up, O judge of the earth repay to the proud what they deserve!
Psalm 94:1-2 (ESV)
Trials are not only given to us by God to help us through them; they also serve as a window for us to see more clearly what he has said. His words burst with tremendous strength and sweetness when challenges arise, plans falter, relationships break down, or peace is lost.
If we are his children, then any suffering we experience is ultimately a result of the loving-kindness of our Father, who wants to usher us into a life of justice, peace, and joy.
God constantly uses every situation, dialogue, and injustice for us out of love, even amid our most formidable difficulties, especially when someone we love intends to harm us.
Psalm 121:1-2
I lift up my eyes to the hills, From where does my help come. My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
Psalm 121:1-2 (ESV)
The only source of “assistance” is Yahweh, the Creator, who has limitless power. Let us acknowledge God as our parent and give him our problems. Let’s keep our gaze fixed on him because nothing is too complicated for him to accomplish, even breaking curses.
Psalm 41:11-12
By this I know that you delight in me: my enemy will not shout in triumph over me. But you have upheld me because of my integrity, and set me in your presence forever.
Psalm 41:11-12 (ESV)
David prayed for victory over his enemies in addition to forgiveness and deliverance. He felt justified in doing this because he was the LORD’s anointed and looked to God’s deliverance as proof that God approved of him.
Let us look to God in the same way that Davis did, putting our faith and trust in him because he will provide for our needs.
Psalm 26:1
Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the Lord; therefore I shall not slide.
Psalm 26:1 (KJV)
Like many of David’s psalms, this hymn was composed during extreme difficulty. David’s reputation among other people did not bother him in this plea; instead, he pled with God to defend him.
David prayed to God to test and examine him since he was so sure of his demonstrated life of faith.
We’ve all sinned and fallen short of God’s grace in our lives, but are we as daring as David to ask God to check us out? Let’s reflect on these words and consider whether or not the way we spend our lives pleases God.
Psalm 34:22
The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate
Psalm 34:22 (KJV)
David could say that God would save the souls of His servants, and they would be found in a place outside God’s condemnation. None of those who trust in Him shall be condemned.
Many centuries later, the Apostle Paul would write, There is no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1).
Psalm 59
Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me. 2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men. 3 For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Lord. 4 They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold….
Psalm 59 (ESV)
God frequently uses those who oppress us, wage constant war against us, and put us through such suffering to try our faith and develop patient endurance. They might be those who openly disagree with us, or they might be men and women who are unsaved and in need of salvation for whom we should pray.
But regardless of why we are being surrounded, trampled on, and oppressed, we may rest assured that God will exact justice on our behalf, and those who despise us will realize He has loved us with unending love.
