One harsh sentence can lodge in your mind like a life sentence, and years later you’re still living under it. We go deep on the idea of the spoken curse: negative words spoken by a parent, ex, enemy, or even people around you that become “true” because they’re accepted, replayed, and feared until they form a stronghold.

Paranormal Activity Series.

Unseen Chains And Hidden Prison

SPEAKER_01

Hello, dear friends, may the God of the Bible bless your life. Together once again with Paranormal Activity Series. This time we are bringing to you for the second week. The unseen chains. Unseen chains. Talking to those who are in prison. You who are out there. One day they have chained you. Handcuff. Now you are in the building, you are in the dome, you are in the cell. You do not see chains. You just see the door. You see the bars, the gates. But yes, you have this unseen chain. And perhaps you are in suffering, pain, watch us over there, and you say, I don't understand why so many problems in my life. Because one day somebody opened their mouth and they cursed you. They cursed your finances and it is cursed. They cursed your family. It is cursed. They have cursed your love life. It is cursed. They have cursed your health. Yes. And they said you are going to be sick, and you are sick, because words have power. Those who speak, they sow the seeds. Those who hear reap the fruit. And if you are not protected spiritually, bulletproof, what they say happened to you.

Spoken Curses And Word Power

SPEAKER_01

Today we are talking about the spoken curse. As last week we spoke about generational curse. And one of the words they say, you never amount to anything. You are good for nothing. And you know, the worst curses come from the parents. When father, mother, um out of their anger, they open their mouth and they curse the children because they are authority and they are curse curse them. So I want you to understand right now, over here, what spoken curse is all about.

SPEAKER_00

A spoken curse is born when negative words are accepted and into strongholds within a person's life. Those negative words followed you from your past, and now they rule your life. That remark from your coworker wasn't a joke. Now you find yourself without a job. You never realized how powerful words were, but now you're watching the words of your past come alive in your present. And standing in the wreckage, you don't know where to go next.

SPEAKER_01

The words that came out of their mouth brought this impact in your life. In a few, I'm going to tell you what to do, how to do to get rid of those words. Spoken curse is even worse than witchcraft. We are going to pray, prepare a cup of water because we are going to bless this water and pray for deliverance. But right now, I want you to understand something. When they open their mouth, they threaten you. Yes, they point to you. It is what they do. They curse your life. Your mother, father, your enemy, your ex. Yes, when they say this word, when they say you are going to pay me back, you are good for nothing. When they say you are not going to have anybody in life, you never succeed, you never prosper, this is what is happening. And maybe you are in prison because somebody has called a curse upon you.

Scripture And How To Overcome

SPEAKER_01

And yes, you feel like somebody did uh work, evil work. Yes, the witchcraft against you. Only the power of God to undo it, and he is going to undo it. Maybe you also over there you ask, I heard you about the spoken curse. I saw the video, and yes, I remember my cousin, my mother, my father, my husband, wife, ex, children, they have cursed me. Even in prison, the other inmates have cursed me, they put a curse on me. How can I overcome it? Well, the word of God says, No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue, every tongue that they speak, every tongue which rises against you in judgment, and you shall condemn. Which means that you shall overcome it. Those who lied on you, those who spoke curses against you, God do you and do, and their weapons in your life shall not prosper. It shall not prosper. We are gonna see now some people.

Testimonies Of Freedom And Change

SPEAKER_01

They came to the Universal Church, they received the prayer, and they spoke and curse, or curses in their lives were removed, wiped, away.

SPEAKER_02

Someone had said to me, You're not going to make it into university.

SPEAKER_04

Well, every time I was with him, I would feel like I'm like something bad in me. Like I couldn't be next to him, but I liked him. It was a curse and I love life.

SPEAKER_07

They say you always end up with a man like your dad.

SPEAKER_08

I don't want to believe it at first, but the curse is real.

SPEAKER_02

My name is Josiana Oliveira. I'm 35 years old. I am a call center director. Um, I had a dream when I was a young kid to become a lawyer. I've always wanted to be a lawyer. So I studied really, really hard, and that was something that I had very closely to my heart. However, um, prior to me going to college, someone had said to me, You're not going to make it into university. And I don't know what happened after that. I started paying attention to those words and I started believing it. And when I went to college, I just couldn't learn. So I went from someone that was really, really intelligent to someone that just couldn't learn anything. Because of that, I started to feel really inferior and I started to feel really, really sad, and I started to feel into some sort of a depression.

SPEAKER_04

Before my husband, I had a boyfriend. His grandmother, she had a crystal ball in that, and she wanted me to be with her grandchild. And if I wasn't gonna be with her grandson, she didn't want me with any other guy. So I guess she did a lot of work with that. That I I started to date him. I had to be with him, but I didn't like him. My parents were like, how? You either like him or not. You just don't go in between, you say no, and then you're with him again. We broke up. And I met my uh husband at that time, and we started talking. When my husband came to America to see, you know, how my family is and everything, I couldn't even touch him. Well, every time I was with him, I would feel like I'm like something bad in me. Like I couldn't be next to him.

SPEAKER_07

But I liked him. It was a curse in my love life. My name is April Corey. Um I'm 36 years old.

SPEAKER_08

Uh my occupation, right now, I'm a music artist. Growing up, I've seen a lot of negligence. My mom used to get beat by my dad. It was to the point where he would beat her so bad to we would have to stop her from bleeding. And I would get so angry, I would fight him too. It just didn't stop there. The abuse also continued from within his family. Like I used to literally fight my grandmother. Um, she used to call us all little brats, and she would make us do things we didn't want to do, and if we didn't do it, she would like literally fight us like we were wrong. I had so much anger to her. Anybody look at me wrong or say anything wrong to me, I was ready to fight. We even witnessed him cheating on my mom to the point where he would use me as an excuse to go see other women I had to lie for him. It destroyed us, the children, it destroyed my mom, and it destroyed my mom and her family. I was with my fiance for 19 years. He was abusive. They say you always end up with a man like your dad. I didn't want to believe that at first, but the curse is real.

SPEAKER_02

And then I ended up getting pregnant. But at the same time, I had no job, no money. I had to move from apartment to apartment because I couldn't afford. So sometimes I'll just pack up my bags and move out of that apartment because I couldn't pay for it. And I would just get another apartment, and knowing that I didn't have the money to pay for that one, too. I couldn't afford heat, I couldn't afford electricity, I couldn't afford food, so we would be hungry all the time.

SPEAKER_04

I did have um uh anxiety and depression, so I went to the doctor to um to get medicine for it, and the doctor gave it to me. I was always a person that liked to dress up and always wanted to look good. I didn't, I can be in pajamas all day. I didn't want to do anything. I mean, I kept losing jobs at that time, and I would go to the witch, pay money to get that cleaned. Because I was paying so much money to go to witches, this time I wanted to learn how to do things. I wanted to learn how to clean myself all the time. So I have used, I used sage to clean my house. I've used um, I started to learn how to read cards, and I would go is to the witches to learn to be a witch.

SPEAKER_07

He would verbally abuse me, mentally abuse me, physically abuse me.

SPEAKER_08

Uh, we had five beautiful children together every time I got pregnant, he would tell me it's not his. And we were together every day. He was very controlling, very jealous, and I thought that was love because I seen my mom and my dad do it.

SPEAKER_02

I started to hear the pastor talk about the Holy Spirit, and he would talk about what was the purpose and the need, why did we need the Holy Spirit? And I started to understand that I needed to have that in order for me to change my life.

SPEAKER_04

My brother is the one that told me to come to church because, you know, he had some difficulties, and so he wanted me to go with him to church. And we went, and wow, it it was it was different than any other church, you know, that I have seen. Um they really did uh a blessing. So we kind of like felt something that day. So from that day on, that's when we started to go every Friday. I started to um feel like lifted, like I could breathe because I know I could go there and I know that nobody's gonna harm me because I will be cleaned from it. I know that, you know, I felt safe and secure. I definitely stopped going to um the witches at that time. I was like, this was all my answers. This is what I was looking for. I learned how to open a Bible. And because my other church, we didn't even open a Bible. After I was doing um the chain of prayers, I started to feel lighter. I started to feel better.

SPEAKER_07

I felt I felt more confidence in me.

SPEAKER_08

I got to know about the church through Miss Elon Patrick. Her niece is my friend. Um, we've been knowing each other for about six years. The first time I met her, I knew it was just something about it. I've always been a good reader in that sense. I've always been spiritually connected with God ever since I was little. She brought me to the church. And I loved it ever since then. I'm not even supposed to be here in Atlanta right now. I literally left my family behind, well, my abusive relationship. I left behind my children. I didn't leave them behind. I just have to do what God wants me to do first.

SPEAKER_02

All the deserts, all the difficulties, the trials, tribulations that I've had, they just made me stronger. And I just keep going forward because I know that God is with me and He's always gonna help me through whatever situation that I'm going through. I wouldn't trade him for nothing in this world.

SPEAKER_04

Today I have a wonderful marriage. I have uh I have a wonderful husband, a wonderful family.

SPEAKER_07

And when I got the Holy Spirit, oh man, that was even something even more amazing. I have so much peace.

SPEAKER_08

Like I said, I can't stop smiling. My skin is so beautiful now, like I just look like a whole total different person.
