Question: Bro. Ignatius Mary; I would be most appreciative of your opinion on the findings of Derek Prince as detailed in his article on curses? http://www.derekprince.org/publisher/article.aspx?id=1000085371 Seems like the curses have manifested in my life consistently over the past 12 years ... if not more, in the following forms detailed by Derek Prince .. except for no. 3.. sickness. 1) Humiliation 2) Failure to reproduce or barrenness. I would say basically barrenness is nearly always in some way associated with a curse. 3) sickness of every kind. And if you read Deuteronomy 28, I mean, there is no sickness that is left out by the time you’ve come to that list. 4) poverty or failure. 5) defeat. 6) you’re the tail and not the head. 7) you’re beneath, not above. Further more his following observation is accurately describes the story of my life.. "You could say a curse is like a long evil arm from the past. And you don’t know how far back. It’s stretched out and every time you’re just about to succeed or get to where you want to be, this evil arm trips you up and you have to get up and start again. You get so far and you’re tripped up again. And that really becomes the story of your life." The financial insufficiency and the breakdown in family are the most prominent for me. And this has finally led me to believe that I must carry a curse... am I mistaken?
Question Answered by Dear Sonny: Derek Prince was a Pentecostal. As such a Catholic should not read his books and materials since the theology and praxiology of this thinking will not always be consistent with the Catholic Church. It is best to stay with Catholic writers who have knowledge and experience with spiritual warfare. With that said, the list of possible curses listed by Prince are accurate. Fr. Amorth, the former chief exorcist for Rome talks about individual and family curses. To put it simply, if one can say, "If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all," then one may be under a curse. Before assuming a curse, however, you need to examine yourself to determine if any of thus "bad luck" is caused from behavioral programs, bad habits, bad decisions, or self-fulfilling prophecies. Much of the chronic trials of our lives are cause by these things, often passed on from parents and family by modeling these dysfunctional behaviors to their children. After making that self-analysis, given your description you may indeed be under a curse. To fight against this you need to do the following: 1) go through the Seven Steps to Self-Deliverance, linked below 2) renew your baptismal promises daily 3) pray the "Renouncing Ancestral Sin" prayer 4) pray the Hedge Prayer of Protection regularly 5) pray the Breaking Curses and Spells regularly 6) pray the Prayer for the Filling of the Spirit daily 7) pray the Prayer to Put on the Armor of God daily The prayers are all found in the Spiritual Warfare Prayer Catalog, linked below. If following these steps do not find you relief, then you can make an appointment for a Personal Consultation, linked below. We are praying for you. God Bless, Bro.

Question:

Bro. Ignatius Mary;

I would be most appreciative of your opinion on the findings of Derek Prince as detailed in his article on curses? http://www.derekprince.org/publisher/article.aspx?id=1000085371

Seems like the curses have manifested in my life consistently over the past 12 years ... if not more, in the following forms detailed by Derek Prince .. except for no. 3.. sickness.

1) Humiliation
2) Failure to reproduce or barrenness. I would say basically barrenness is nearly always in some way associated with a curse.
3) sickness of every kind. And if you read Deuteronomy 28, I mean, there is no sickness that is left out by the time you’ve come to that list.
4) poverty or failure.
5) defeat.
6) you’re the tail and not the head.
7) you’re beneath, not above.

Further more his following observation is accurately describes the story of my life..

"You could say a curse is like a long evil arm from the past. And you don’t know how far back. It’s stretched out and every time you’re just about to succeed or get to where you want to be, this evil arm trips you up and you have to get up and start again. You get so far and you’re tripped up again. And that really becomes the story of your life."

The financial insufficiency and the breakdown in family are the most prominent for me. And this has finally led me to believe that I must carry a curse... am I mistaken?
