MISPLACED PRIDE–BRINGS ABOUT DEVASTATION & OPPRESSION-THROUGH UNTRUTHS BELIEVED

It is written in (Malachi 4:6 NKJV) that God, “will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.”  This curse brings devastation and oppression in families who are too proud to ask for help in situations of need, by asking a mother or a father for help when trouble strikes, through devastating times of mishaps and mistakes being made in finances and living beyond one’s means, through being prideful and wanting to appear successful to all who are important in their life, seeking to make a good impression of their independence, in not needing anyone’s help, because that would wreck their reputation in the eyes of family members, who genuinely care for their good outcomes in life, to live in a good and godly purposeful life, achieving the goals God would have them achieve, but through prayer and supplication to Jesus, who is always waiting to hear our cries for help, which He gives through others who obey Him when He requests them to give help when it’s needed.

“A man’s pride will bring him low, but the humble in spirit will retain honour.” (Proverbs 29:23 NKJV).  What is honour?  Integrity (uprightness and honesty), which suffices all aspects of human nature in keeping with the Ten Commandments, and loving as described in (1 Corinthians 13:4-8 GNT) “Love is patient and kind; it is not jealous or conceited or proud; love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable; love does not keep a record of wrongs; love is not happy with evil but is happy with the truth.  Love never gives up; and its faith, hope, and patience never fail.  Love is eternal.”  For, “The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom, and before honour is humility.” (Proverbs 15:33 NKJV).  Humility is asking for help when times seem hopeless, for Scripture tells us in (Matthew 7:7 NKJV), “Ask, and it will be given to you, seek, and you will find, knock, and it will be opened to you.”  When it seems all is lost through untruths believed, turn to the Lord, and He sets us free from untruths believed which have brought devastation and oppression into a person’s life and their family’s lives, through the curse mentioned in (Malachi 4:6) which condemns a family who believes the lies told by such family members who have no honour or respect and are too proud to admit their wrongs, and need for help.  Jesus warned about this in, (John 10:10 NKJV) “The thief comes only in order to steal, kill, and destroy.  I have come in order that you might have life—life in all its fullness.”  The devil is the thief, and he is a liar.  He will distort the truth to make it credible to the person who is prideful, and to their family who is not able to see that they are covering up for themselves, but only to find out later when it is obvious they were lied to, that they see the full bulk of the devastation and oppressions suffered by that family member and their own family, who could have been helped, if only they asked.

The curse upon the earth spoken in (Malachi 4:6) can be broken off of us and our families, through the repentance of “devastation and oppression through untruths believed” so that God can restore us and our family back to His abundance in all our needs met, when we let go, and let God on them all.  It is not shameful to ask for help, and that’s why God gave us family to bless one another whenever the need arises.  We are never alone, for “The Lord keeps close watch over the whole world, to give strength to those whose hearts are loyal to Him.” (2 Chronicles 16:9 GNT)

So without further ado, let us “let go and let God” with this situation in our midst from ever erupting into devastation and oppression through untruths believed, by us or our family members, in our repentance prayer to Jesus, who is our Mediator and Saviour:

*”Lord Jesus, I repent of the curse of devastation and oppression, which has entered our family through untruths believed.  I am truly sorry for having this curse alive and active amongst our family circle, with pride and unwillingness to ask for help from each other when times began to be full of devastation and oppression.

Lord Jesus I humbly request for your forgiveness in my family circle, and to heal us all of the curses imposed through our not honouring and obeying the Ten Commandments.

Lord Jesus I place my life and my family’s lives into your hands, and with your love to be ever present within us, may we surrender ourselves to you, along with all that we have, is yours.  Thankyou Lord Jesus to wash and cleanse us all and our land with your precious blood, and may we receive your grace through the Holy Spirit to achieve the goals you have set before us with your love and integrity always for one another within our family circle, to the honour and glory of your name Father God in Jesus’ name, Amen! 

I let go, and I let God!  So be it Lord Jesus, for God is and God will provide, and I draw the bloodline of Jesus over the whole lots, Amen!”
