DREAMS AND CURSES | Dealing With Hidden Curses by Dr. D.K Olukoya

DREAMS AND CURSES

If you are opportune to read this message, it is by divine appointment. This makes it imperative for you to read it very carefully.

If you open your Bible to the book of Galatians 3:13 you would be in a good position to look at curses and dreams, for it says:

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law. being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the spirit through faith.

The two passages above are specially directed at one of the greatest problems of man; one of the greatest vehicles of tragedies and sorrows.

While Jesus was there on the cross, this issue was addressed. Again, like somebody who buys soap and fails to use it he will remain unclean. We must learn to acquire that which Christ has won for us.

The issue of curses was addressed on the cross of calvary. Proverbs 26:2 says:

As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.

The above verse indicates that a curse does not fly anyhow. It must come from a source. If we fail to use that which Christ has won for us, we do so to our own detriment. The book of Revelation 22:3 says:

And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it: and his servants shall serve them.

This means that if there are curses and Jesus takes over, there shall be no more concern. Meanwhile, you and I have to address this killer in our lives. This is one killer that stubbornly destroys with terrible violence. This is one killer that has turned fertile lands into deserts. This is a killer that distributes a harvest of failure.

The Bible makes 161 references to curses. This killer is the curse, and it affects millions upon millions of people and communities. This makes the issue so serious too, that it was addressed on the cross.

Another issue addressed on the cross was the issue of sickness. All these issues addressed on the cross, when viewed closely, are issues that have really downgraded man.

WHAT IS A CURSE?

A curse is a force working against a person or a group of people. It creates a sort of barrier.

A curse is a counter force that fights blessings.

A curse is an evil thing around the body, soul and spirit and man’s efforts, created by the spoken words.

A curse is being greeted with failure where success is smiling at others.

A curse is a sentence calling for punishment or injury or destruction on a person, place or thing.

A curse is an evil spiritual energy originated through verbal pronouncements. This makes it necessary for us to be very careful about what we say with our mouths.

A curse is a satanic mandate given to demons to wreck havocs on a person, a place or a thing.

A curse is like pinching a dog and making the dog to be chasing its own tail. Many run around without knowing what they are looking for.

A curse is labouring under the burden of backwardness and stagnancy. It is like one fighting against an invisible shadow. You cannot make that shadow if you do not understand it, but know that somewhere there, you are fighting something and that thing is fighting you while you do not know what it really is.

A curse is labouring under a closed heaven. When the heaven becomes like brass and your earth is like iron and the rains like powder and dust, the issue of curse needs to be addressed. This is so important it was addressed on the cross. No wonder, when Balaam wanted to curse the children of Israel God took it as a very serious matter.

A curse is struggling without corresponding fulfilment. You keep trying your best but, somehow, all

your efforts do not correspond with your achievements.

A curse is when your presence generates hatred or resentment. You may have been in a particular place where everyone loved you, but all of a sudden, nobody wants to see your face. The husband that you married who was always doting over you suddenly vows to behead you if you should show your face wherever he is.

A curse is when your friend proves unfriendly and you offend those you are not supposed to offend. And when you offend your own angels, who will protect you?

A curse is a person sinking in a waterless sea – he cannot come out and there is no water there for him to drink.

A curse is a promotion failure, a failure mechanism that operates on promotion. Immediately a person is about to be promoted to a very big position, this satanic messenger will come in to scatter everything.

A curse is the reoccurrence of evil things in a person’s life.

A curse is to fall under the prison of retrogression.

A curse is being intimidated and strangled by invisible forces in the journey of life. I pray that anybody reading this and labouring under one form of a curse or the other shall be delivered. in Jesus’ name.

A curse is encountering failures where success comes to others.

A curse is wallowing in the nude in a dark tunnel without any way out. You know you are supposed to be outside but someone somehow keeps dragging you inside.

A curse is a sickness that keeps recurring in the family. Some families are plagued by sicknesses like diabetes, hypertension, cancer and such other terrible diseases. This could be symptomatic of a curse.

A curse is profitless hardwork. In spite of being hardworking, diligent, honest and industrious, yet you make no profit. I pray, once again, that anyone reading this, labouring under one evil curse or the other. shall be delivered, in the name of Jesus.

A curse is the prince trekking on the ground while the servants are riding on horses.

A curse is to be consistently caught in the cross-fire of frustration and exploitation.

A curse is being robbed of the blessings you are entitled to. No wonder the Bible says, “Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law…”

A curse is swimming in the pool of tears and regrets.

A curse is falling at the peak of a height from life’s ladder. Some people do not fail until they get to the highest height. They encounter no problem for as long as they live and suffer in poverty, but immediately they are raised up, they somersault and fall down. This is an evidence of a curse.

A curse is having no favour from God and man everywhere a person goes.

A curse is when a ceiling is placed upon a man’s life.

A curse is desiring to reach a goal without a driving force. a spiritual magnet to pull a person there.

A curse is not being able to complete any good project despite a good start every time. I pray, once again, that anyone reading this and labouring under any curse, shall be delivered, in the name of Jesus.

A curse is when you are always looking for somebody to help you without ever being able to stand in a position of help to others. It is time for you, beloved, to say, “I am getting out of this kind of bad situation; that situation is not my own.”

A curse is when helpers have no desire to help you. There are a lot of people who have brothers, sisters, friends and other people who could help them in times of trouble but who do not want to see them. I pray that this yoke shall be broken in the name of Jesus.

It is when a person stands confused in the middle of the road of life where, rather than going forward, he keeps going backward.

A curse is not knowing what you want out of life; it is like going to the marketplace without knowing what you really want to buy.

A curse is an unseen force mocking your best efforts.

A curse is experiencing a pattern of set-backs:

A few months ago we prayed with a sister who had just given her life to Christ. While she was in

the world, she befriended one man whom she promised to marry. At the same time she was going out with another man. When one man caught her with another man, the man said to her,

“I shall have to go to my grave before you will see another man who will marry you.”

This was said to her twenty-one years back. She was now forty-two without any man proposing to her since the curse was placed on her. The drama of it all was this. The fellow who issued the curse at that time is now born again and married. They later met. When the man saw that the lady he cursed twenty-one years ago was still unmarried he started praying for Jesus to remove the curse.

Meanwhile, the sister was having a pattern of set-backs. I pray, once again, beloved, that anyone reading this and labouring under any form of a curse, by the power in the blood of Jesus, shall be delivered, in the name of Jesus.

A curse is the whole universe conspiring against you.

A curse is binding a person in a cage.

A curse is setting up the right conditions for demonic attacks.

One of the major reasons why some evil spirits refuse to leave some people alone is that there is a curse putting them in position. If we strike against such a person reading this, the spirit attached to them will have to go because you have removed yourself from their hold.

A curse is the suppression of initiatives and achievements.

A curse is neutralizing the gains of human efforts.

A curse is a wall or fence that protects demons and gives them legal grounds to operate.

A curse is that which ensures that at the verge of your success, something always goes wrong.

That is why people under curses are always frustrated, angry and bitter because even after doing the best they could, everything still goes haywire. Some even attempt to commit suicide. That is why those under curses are often unfriendly.

A curse causes displacement from the place of destiny.

Such a person finds it difficult to find a place of rest in life as he goes into terrible marriage, businesses, etc.

A curse causes inexplicable sicknesses and death.

A lot of people are prone to accidents and incurable diseases when a curse is in place.

A curse is receiving the key of failure at the edge of breakthrough.

TYPES OF CURSES

There are many types of curses. We have the curse of marriage failure and poverty. When a man is under the curse of marriage failure and poverty, give him millions of millions of naira, it is just a matter of time before he becomes poor again. Open for him a multi-million naira factory, very soon, the whole thing will collapse.

There is also the curse of destruction, which makes members of a family die like flies.

Sometime ago, I prayed with a fellow who had lost about eleven people in his family between January and February, leaving only two people.

There is also the curse of stagnancy just as there is that of backwardness.

There is also the curse of defeat, oppression, failure and divorce. We have seen people who confirmed that their mother was divorced three times and they themselves are having problems with their own marriages.

There is the curse of family discord, or things always going wrong.

There is the curse of being doomed or being deceived.

All these various types of curses have killed men before their time. Once again, I pray that anyone reading this and labouring under anyone of these curses shall be delivered. in the name of Jesus.

DREAM INDICATORS

Certain indicators reveal whether or not curses are in place in people’s lives. In Job 33:14-18, we read:

For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; then he openeth the ears of man, and sealeth their instruction, that he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man. He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.

This passage indicates that your dream life is a spiritual monitor of some sort.

There are dream indicators that a person is operating under a curse. For example,

If you find that in your dreams you are always fighting unknown persons, without victory on your part, you need to pray against such a curse seriously.

If you find that, in your dream, you always embark on an endless journey, you need to pray seriously, too, because it is an evidence that you are operating under a curse.

If you find that you have constant nightmares without your dreams making any sense, you are working under a curse.

If you find yourself always endlessly climbing without ever getting to the top or you sit for an examination where you write endlessly, without getting the results, you must be under a curse.

If, in your dreams, you always find yourself getting late to important assignments, or just as something good is about to come your way you wake up without getting it, you have a curse to break.

If you find that you are plucking fruits from a tree but it is the rotten ones that you keep plucking, this is an evidence that you are working under a curse.

If you find out that you are always coming back to your junior school or one house where you lived as a child, you are operating under a curse of backwardness and retrogression.

If you find that, in your dream, you are always slaving for others as houseboy or housemaid, and serving those who should be serving you, you have the curse of slavery upon your life. You need to stand against this, henceforth.

If you find yourself seeing tortoises and snails, you need to pray.

If you find cobwebs in your dreams, that dream is telling you something: you need to pray against the spirit of staleness and break every curse of rejection.

If you find yourself going round in a circle, you need to pray against the circle of curses.

If you are a man and you find yourself pregnant without delivering the baby in the dream, you are operating under a curse.

If you dream of seeing a black river flowing, you are operating under a curse.

If you find yourself in a cage, a pit, a cell or a prison, you need to work against that curse.

Or if you dream of seeing rats running around you, you need to pray against the curse of poverty.

If you always dream before a problem, it is an evidence that you are operating under a curse.

If you find yourself regularly communicating with the dead, you are working under some curses that have been working on your ancestors.

If you find that you are always being served with a particular kind of food in the dream, then you must know that you are working under a curse of spiritual failure.

If you find yourself being cursed in the dream, or being harassed, then you are surely operating under a curse.

If, in your dream, you are always looking for something you cannot find, or lost in a forest, or fighting some giants, it is an evidence that you are working under a curse.

Any dream that indicates blockages, demotion, embarrassment, being locked out while others are inside, or prostrating before or begging somebody you are superior to, is a dream of curses.

False marriage in the dream, disappointments, crying without any reason, or finding yourself in the graveyard are all evidences that a person is operating under a curse.

WHAT THEN IS THE WAY OUT?

There are nine ways out.

Recognize the source of the curse.

Repent of any associated sin. Any sin at all in your life that stands to strengthen your enemy against you must be repented of.

Renounce the specific curse.

Revoke the curse, cancel it.

Restrain the evil power behind it, that is, bind the demons that are maintaining the curse, bind all the evil connecting spirits.

Reverse the curse.

Replace the curse with blessings.

Seek the freedom of Christ.

Resist the temptation to go into bondage again.

A lot of black people are sitting or labouring under evil curses issued by their kinsmen, witchcraft powers and powers of darkness. To leave them in place is to continue to suffer.

I would like you to do some two minutes thinking about your own life, with your head bowed down. Are you where God wants you to be? Are you operating below your physical, material or spiritual standards?

Look deeply into your life. From this exercise, this self-search, something must emerge as truth about your condition. God did not bring you here on earth to waste your time. Think about this so that you can know where to direct your prayer.
