Do you know that not only God has the power to bless and curse but you do also? What is a blessing or curse? A blessing and a curse are simply-words. That's all they are according to The Bible. Notice in Genesis when The Bible says God blessed he simply sopke good and positive words concerning things (Gen. 1:22,28;9:1). And when he cursed things he spoke bad and negative of things (Gen. 3:14-19). Notice when Jesus cursed the Fig Tree he spoke negatively (Matt. 21:19). And you to have the power to bless and curse.
Look at James chapter 3 The Bible says that you were made in the similitude (like) God. And out of the same mouth comes blessings and curses. Were do they come from? They come out of the mouth. How many times have you said- I can't catch a break or things are going to get a lot worse before they get better or everytime I turn around something happens? Those things are always spoken in a negative context and are curses. Why not speak blessings like- Whatever I do prospers or the blessings of God overtake me . At least those things are scriptural.
You will either live up to the blessings or curses you speak. Even in the Old Testament they knew that. Jacob deceived his own father to have his brother's blessing. To have his father speak words over him. That's how powerful it is. And they both lived up to their blessing. Be careful what you speak over things like- this piece of junk always breaksdown when I'm in a hurry or money always gets away from me. And be very careful what you speak over your children. Never speak things like- that boy is going to end up in jail or the grave or that boy will never be anything. You should never curse your children.
God has set before you life and death, blessings and curses: choose life, so that you and your seed may live (Deu. 30:19). How are you going to choose life? With your words (Pro.18:21).
