This is a post I’ve been meaning to write for many years. You will see why that this may be the most important I have ever written, or you have ever read.
For one thing, as I’m working with a number of people who need healing and deliverance, I’ve found a common thread with some of them. That is SOMEBODY SAID SOMETHING that led to their affliction.
FOR EXAMPLE:
When a dear friend, Gladys, visited me from Africa 2 weeks ago to take a Bible class in my home, I discovered that she had difficulty walking. At the airports, she was transported from place to place by wheelchair. I wondered about this, because Gladys is a dynamic believer, who lives a sacrificial lifesyle taking care of orphans, and prays powerfully.
So I had a conversation with her to root out the cause. (In every case where I have the chance to ‘interview’ someone afflicted in some way, the Lord shows me the root cause of their affliction by their own words!)
The most fascinating training of all my military occupational specialties was ‘interrogation training’. What you learn in the least common denominator is - ‘Let a man talk, and he’ll tell you everything you need to know’.
This is true with cops, doctors, and anyone walking by the spirit of God. Words from the heart will at once incriminate (cops know this) indict, and/or instruct.
Well, Gladys told me what caused her problem, even though SHE did not realize it.
This happens ALL the time. God just points to what they just said and says “THAT is the reason they are sick’.
Gladys has difficulty walking. Way back in 2008, she’d had a car accident. But THAT was not the cause of the problem. She recovered and was walking fine. However in a doctor’s office one day, a doctor said to her concerning her injury…
“Eventually you will have trouble walking.”
He pronounced a curse on her with his words.
There are 3 things to tell you about this.
#1) THIS IS NOT A PROPHESY - BUT A CURSE.
There is a BIG difference between prophesying a future event, and placing a curse upon someone. The FIRST is of God, and the second is of the devil.
NOTE: This is not to say that the doctor intended to place a curse or had a malevolent intention. Rather, he didn't realize what he was doing. Just like so many people who speak without recognizing the force behind their words. This is what the Lord called idle words that will render a judgment on the speaker..
A prophesy of God is always towards the end of cautioning a person/ or nation to TURN from the path they are on and prevent harm. A curse from satan is always designed to bring something harmful to pass.
#2): PROPHETS issue warnings; satan issues curses.
When prophets warn people and nations, it may SEEM like a curse, but what they are saying MIGHT be changed if men would only heed the warning. The Bible is full of prophesies that are even now unfolding - Not because they can’t be changed, but because they ARE GOING TO HAPPEN. A distinctive difference.
When satan pronounces a future event, sometimes it happens, and sometimes it doesn’t, which is how to distinguish between a true prophet and a false prophet.
What God prophesies, it’s because He knows the choice that will be made; but He does not MAKE it happen.
When a man of God TRAINED in the Scriptures hears a curse, they can REJECT it or REVERSE it. More on this in a moment..
#3) DOCTORS ARE FAMOUS FOR PRONOUNCING CURSES.
This is why I don’t go to doctors. They are famous for pronouncing negative outcomes. Which may be to protect themselves, or to push their services and medical products.. or both.
And DONT take their ‘tests’, which are designed to offer ‘FALSE POSITIVES’.
Mammograms, for example, are famous for false positives leading untold numbers of women to fear they have cancer, and even submit to unnecessary surgeries.
The covid19 test was also famous for false positives.. You can’t find a ‘virus’ on a test swab, because the virus does not exist, only a demon does and it does not show in a ‘test’.
Not a day goes by that I don’t speak with someone whose doctor has just told them that IF they don’t have the ‘surgery’,.. or take the ‘drug’.. or do whatever, they are going to have a ‘insert negative result here’.. or that even the SURGERY will not fix the problem. Doctors are notoriously negative; perhaps to cover their arses. Who knows. The consequences of their ‘guesswork’ however, can be very destructive.
JESUS WARNED US ABOUT THINGS SPOKEN;
‘But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak ⁸they will give account of it in the day ofjudgment.’ Matthew 12:36
What is an idle word? It’s something that comes out of our mouth that should never have been said, but somebody didn’t ‘think about it’.
People use words like cannon balls - throwing them around blindly - giving no thought to what the words mean, or the damage they can do.
In 50 years of owning dogs, I’ve only ever had one get hit by a car. Caleb was only 10 months old when he was hit by a car and killed outright. It was my son, Nick’s dog. (Nick and his new puppy ‘Caleb’ below)
Some time later, I found out that a neighbor’s son, had seen him outside by himself - and remarked to his mom ‘That dog’s gunna get hit by a car’.
His words were a curse that came to pass. (A short time later, his own dog, a Chuhahua ran out the door of their house and was struck by a car and killed. It never serves any useful purpose to be the purveyor of a curse - witting or otherwise. Curses backfire.)
A few years ago, when I was preparing a video on the subject of speaking in tongues, That video HERE) the Lord shared something sadly ironic with me - that some of his people only speak aright - when they are speaking in tongues - (I.e.. when the holy spirit is choosing their words).
SAINT DONT SING THAT SONG
The devil loves to get people to curse themselves and others; For example:
I always get sick when I’m on vacation.
You’ll never amount to anything.
Give it up - you’ll never do that.
You make me sick.
That’ll be the end of you…
If he can’t get you to say it another way.. he’ll get you to sing it. Songs are about the worst offenders..
4 amazing examples of songs that came to pass:
ABBA -
This music group became one of the most successful groups of all times - composed of 4 talented artists who went on to become 2 married couples. In 1976 - Abba wrote and sang a song about breaking up with each other.
‘Knowing Me Knowing You’ -
Within 5 years, both happy couples had divorced. One in 1980 and the other a year later. The band broke up altogether in 1982.
PATSY CLINE
Patsy Cline was said to be the most popular female country singer in recording history. She was the first solo female artist elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame, and inspired later singers, including k. d. lang, Loretta Lynn, Linda Ronstadt, and Wynonna Judd. Cline was considered the golden standard for female vocalists.
One of Patsy Cline’s signature songs was I FALL TO PIECES
In the song, Cline repeats the title phrase - ‘I fall to pieces’ - 7 times. In 1963, at the tender age of 30, Patsy Cline died in a plane crash.
This is a photo of the airplane. It did not just break in half - it fell totally to pieces.
LINDA RONSTADT
This story is very personal to me. Linda’s story is also my story. I have yet to recover from it.
Ronstadt had a spectacular singing career from 1965 all the way to 2011, being called ‘The most successful female singer of the 1970s’.
What’s this got to do with me?
In my life, I used to sing - in theater, in church, etc, to where in the 1980’s in Manhattan, I took Bel Canto Opera classes at the Ansonia Hotel. My fav pop star in those days was Linda Ronstadt. I knew all her songs, and sang them all the time.
In 1988, when Ronstadt performed on Broadway in the Musical ‘Canciones de Mi Padre’ I saw the show. That same summer I was at the Delacorte Theater - an outdoor free theater in Manhattan’s Central Park, watching Blythe Danner, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, and Kevin Kline, in a Shakespeare play - ‘Much Ado About Nothing’. It happened I was sitting in the audience on the bench →next to Linda Ronstadt!
Impressed with her glorious Spanish coloratura from the play, I turned to Ronstadt, and spoke to her in Spanish. She looked at me and said blandly in English - “I don’t speak Spanish’. { :>} )
Among Ronstadts’ most successful music hits was the song - ‘I Never Will Marry’. Now look at the Wikipedia synopsis of Ronstadt’s life:
Do you see what’s missing? Linda Ronstadt never got married.
Here are the song lyrics:
HOW many times I sang this song, I cannot count.. Me? I was married very briefly.. though I have never had a ‘husband’. My dreams of a happy life with a man I loved - who loved me more than his own life - ended just as this song says - when the love of my life - BK - died, going on that ‘mourning train’; leaving me single my whole life. I’ve spent the last 30 years of my adult life sleeping next to pillows.
What if I had never sang that song?
HERE IS THE MOST SHOCKING OF ALL
Dimitri Hvorostovsky - was a beloved Russian baritone opera singer. Possibly his most notable, most beloved song, was ‘The Cranes’.. (Listen HERE)
Here are the lyrics to the song:
The song is about dying. Hvorostovsky sang this song innumerable times over the years along with the Russian Army Choir. Listen to the lyrics..
‘Sometimes I feel like all those fallen soldiers.. who have never left the bloody battle zones..
but turned into cranes.. birds that fly into the twilight..
in their formation I see a small gap - perhaps that space IS FOR ME..
The DAY SHALL COME when in the midst of ashes,
I’ll soar with the craines..
a FINAL REST I’ll find, .. calling..
to all those of you who I’LL HAVE LEFT BEHIND.’
Hvorostovsky died at the tender age of 55, of a malignant brain tumor.
Don’t cry yet, it gets worse.. Hvorostovsky sang regularly with the Red Army Choir.
The Choir sang that song with him. Their final performance together was in 2015..
In December of 2016 the entire ensemble- all 64 members of the Red Army Choir - died in a plane crash.
I have 1000 more examples of the unfortunate end of idle words. Don’t use them.
What is the answer?
Use words as GOD INTENDED - with the care they deserve. Words are a creative force; To bless, to build up, to pronounce good.
Say that which SHOULD come to pass; and not that which shouldn’t.
Don’t merely OBSERVE the obvious - even if it seems inevitable to you. CHANGE IT. Walk on water with words. That is, speak the invisible into being; Don’t ENFORCE what appears to be the case - which is often negative.
When bad appears inevitable- don’t yell ‘SHIT!’ or ‘OMG! Say instead “God help me’. Or something to that effect. Train your mouth to obey your Bible.
Every word that comes out of your mouth makes a difference. Jacob found this out the hard way when he told Laben, ‘Let the person who stole your idols die’. He did not know that his beloved wife had taken her father’s idols. Rachel died shortly thereafter in childbirth.
‘With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not live: before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them.’ Genesis 31:32
For heaven’s sakes.. pay attention to the lyrics of SONGS. There are even songs sung in Church, with words that ought not to be spoken. Don’t - for example - call yourself a ‘wretch’.. Don’t sing what you wouldn’t say.
CANCELING WORD CURSES
Jesus left us instructions for reversing words and cancelling their associated curses - as recorded in John 21:15 - 17..
15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I LOVE THEE. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I LOVE THEE. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I LOVE THEE. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
WHY DID THE LORD HAVE HIM REPEAT 3 TIMES - THAT HE LOVED HIM?
BECAUSE PETER HAD - 3 TIMES - USED WORDS TO DENY HIM.
Friend, if you have a malingering problem in your life, search and see if there were pronouncements made that need to be reversed, cancelled, and replace with a blessing.
If you deign to gamble with your life by visiting a doctor - be SURE to listen carefully to everything they say, and REFUSE out loud the word curses they are wont to pronounce.
DON’T CURSE YOURSELF OR YOUR CHILDREN. WATCH THE WORDS THAT YOU SAY.
LISTEN TO THE WORDS THAT THEY SAY. LISTEN TO THE MUSIC THEY FAVOR AND THE SONGS THEY SING!
HAVE THEM LEARN TO SPEAK ARIGHT, TEACH THEM TO CANCEL IDLE WORDS THAT MIGHT FLY LIKE CRANES..
SPEAK THE WORD OF GOD. BE INSTANT IN SEASON - OUT OF SEASON, REPROVE, REBUKE, EXHORT - WITH ALL LONG SUFFERING AND DOCTRINE. (II Timothy 4:2)
IN PRAYER THE BEST WORDS ARE GOD’S OWN. THEY FORM THE MOST POWERFUL PRAYERS, AND RENDER THE MOST EXCELLENT RESULTS.
LEARN TO SPEAK IN TONGUES, THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT MIGHT PRAY FOR YOU, AND SPEAK FOR YOU, WHEN YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.
Godspeed,
Victoria
So powerful and true… I’d only add the importance of taking every THOUGHT captive as well as the spoken word. The enemy plants subtle, almost unnoticeable negative thoughts that will expand if left unchecked with the Truth of “it is written”!
There is time left I hope you find the love of your life..I have been married 50 yrs my wife and I are opposite in many ways except we both are deeply spiritual and family oriented.
