Curses are in the category of social matters in our lives because of their expressive nature.

Background to the concept of “breaking curses” in Christian history This book could have been more appropriately titled “Deliverance from Curses.” But we all live in a world of culture and language that have a lot of influence on people. So to bring home the biblical principles some common language concepts of our day had to be used. The concept of “breaking curses” likely gained momentum in the body of Christ during the “Third Wave” Charismatic movement (1980’s). It was coined the “Third Wave” movement by C. Peter Wagner, one of the key architects of the 1980’s Charismatic movement. It’s worth noting that the same period brought into Christianity a flood of false teachings that misinterpreted scripture. There were such things like mimicking animal sounds, including dog barking, in church and attributing them to the Holy Spirit. The bible almost took a secondary role since feelings (sentimentalism), hearsay, and personal opinions were the primary basis of instruction. It’s a chapter in Church history that bible-grounded believers in the body of Christ hope is never repeated. There is more maturity in Charismatic circles today, something we can all thank God for. By the late 1990s, the time I joined the Charismatic world most of the sentimentalism and twisting of scriptures had been dealt with. I still ended up being caught up with some false teachings, particularly on spiritual warfare. My other book on spiritual warfare deals with the areas that are permitted and forbidden spiritual territory to believers. The book is titled, Major Spiritual Warfare Principles: Biblical Do’s and Don’ts of Warfare. Like with the false teachings on spiritual warfare, the concept of “breaking curses” was used to put believers in a position of authority against matters of the spirit realm. A Christian is literally the one breaking curses in his/her life. He confronts certain evil spirits and commands them to let go of his family, finances, career, physical health, and so on. Through this direct confrontation with evil spirits a believer assumes he’s exercising his authority against evil spirits. I’d have liked to go into biblical details in pointing out that this is unscriptural but my other book on spiritual warfare does a better job. The most important point to make here is that we do not break curses. It is God who ultimately breaks them. He invalidates their merit or claim on any of us once we fulfill what’s required of us to render any curse illegal on us. Our responsibility is fulfilling what’s required of us for God to work on our behalf in overcoming matters that bring harm to our lives. Thus God is the curse breaker. He is our deliverer from all evil, including from works of evil spirits and from cursing words having any power over us. This book is therefore Christ-centered, not demon-centered. The same Christ-centered principles that Christ used, the early church used, and have been applied throughout church history are being shared in this book to overcome works of the devil.
