Blessing or Curse: You Can Choose Paperback – September 1, 2006

Hosea 4:6 - My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. "Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.If even one person can read this book (which is really the Word of God) and be set free from demonic bondage then Praise God.As I sit here and review this book my place of work is having a Harry Potter week - every single one of the people here are Christians - every one of them - they go to church at least 3 times per week, are good people, and hard workers who care about each other and their customers. They have no understanding about the spiritual doors that are being opened up by this idolatry.Idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.I was delivered from a spirit of shamanism 3 years ago. I was heavily involved in shamanistic practices from almost 20 years - it is a very powerful force which is not from the one true living God. The deliverance took almost 2 years from the time I started repenting from my past until I was delivered. The moment of deliverance was excruciating but the years of torment were debilitating. My involvement in these practices brought curse onto me and my family. We, me and my family, are now free.Also, I have had many curses broken off of me. One in particular had been placed on me when I was a young child. Several nights a week for my entire life I would have these very intense and terrifying dreams about an evil presence that was threatening me as I slept. This presence would be in any house I was in when I was dreaming. As a child I would run away in my dreams. As I got older and learned more about the power of the word of God, I became more bold and began to hunt this spirit down in my dreams, but I could never find it. It was just an awful experience night after night after night with no relief. The fear that I felt was like hanging on edge of a very high building knowing that you were going to fall when your grip gave out.Then one night, as I began to dream, I began to hunt for this spirit. I got closer and closer then suddenly I woke up with a word from God about being under a curse. He told me what the curse was and who had placed it on me. I immediately began to pray about it and was released after about an hour of battle. That presence is totally absent from my life now. I found out years later that in voodoo, the name of the spirit is the "Waster" spirit.Now the big picture here is that this is just a book. BUT... it teaches the principles of the Word of God. Unfortunately, a vast majority of professing Christians - nullify the word of God by their traditions that have been handed down - they have not been taught the truth. And sadly, very sadly, I have tried to share this with many Christians and they absolutely refuse to listen and receive.Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you: `These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.Jesus said, "...And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch." Isaiah wrote, "For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led by them are destroyed.For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.This book provides rock solid teaching from the Word of God. I have given you personal testimony of the blessings I have received from this teaching.It is just like the title says - Blessing or Curse - YOU CAN CHOOSE.So if you made it this far in my review, maybe God has spoken to your heart. You don't really need this book to receive the blessings, they are in the Word of God, but this book provides a great teaching that is available to all who hear His voice.

In depth teaching on this topic with solutions presented. Prince gives the Biblical definition of a curse and its causes. Then he demonstrates how to remove it from your life and family.Princes teachings are always practical, giving Biblical solutions to life's problems. Irecommended it highly.

As a mature Christian of many decades, I was surprised at how much I did not understand on the subject of blessings and curses.

I am a HUGE Derek Price fan. He was such a gift to the Christian community. We sure could use him now.

This book is a must read

I come from a country where curses are very real, and no one jokes about the supernatural. People know its power either from personal experience or from the experience of someone they know. When I came to US, I was surprised at how ignorant people are about the supernatural. People outside the church think it is a joke and in Christian circles kids watch and read books and movies that open them up to the realm of the occult, without realizing how awful this is in the eyes of God. Their parents agree that God is all powerful, but then either ignore Satan and his power as to discredit him, or give Satan too much credit. As I went through certain struggles myself, God started pointing me back to this book (which I had from years before), and as I opened it up, there was the problem of my family described. I read the book again, and being more knowledgeable with the bible at this point in my Christian walk, I found the teaching very biblical and something we need to be aware of. God is a jealous God and he takes our "prostituting" with the other "gods" very serious. He gave us warnings and a deliverer. So yes, we can choose. We don't need to be afraid of the dark side anymore. Jesus has become a curse for us, but we need to apply his blood to our lives to be freed. This book will lead you to examine your life, and with the help of the Holy Spirit to discern if there are things in your life that are a barrier to God's blessings for you (they might not be your fault at all, they might be coming from previous generations, that is why you need the Holy Spirit). Use it in conjunction with prayer and fasting, and listen to the Holy Spirit. You might be surprised.

Bible Scholar Derek Prince approaches this highly debated and controversial topic with extensive biblical examination.All Christians want God’s blessings on the one hand, but could Christians be ignorant of generational curses operating in their lives and the lives of their children and grandchildren? The answer in the Bible is: Yes!One of the most important segments in this book is Derek Prince’s list of the evidence that a curse may be operating in your life.The practical Bible discussion is how to break or stop curses from going forward, so the fullness of God’s blessings can be received.While Christ came to break Adam’s curse, death, thorns and thistles, marriage breakdown, disease and poverty are evidence that curses are still at work. After reading this book, you will understand why curses continue to operate and how to stop them.There is tremendous hope released through the biblical revelation shared in this book for overcoming generational breakdown.

Good learning tool. Brings many points forward and he has aided in my understanding of scripture.His prospective is of great valueWorth yr time.

I like how each chapter has a memory verse, prayer and questions. Very powerful book to break curses and for blessings.

.

Everone should read this!!!! It has opened my eyes and I understand some things better. Truly Words Are Powerful. Great Reading.

I am left with one statement after reading the book... "Thank you Jesus". I experienced the evil powers got releasd from me when I prayed /confessed by faith Lords' sacrifice on the Cross ...as advised in the book. Many more insights revealed ... It boosted my faith in Jesus... more understanding of using my tongue in right manner. It forced me to living by depending on Holy Spirit. Praise God for Prince, Derek.

Every person should read urgently.
