This document discusses breaking curses and poverty through prophetic prayer and spiritual weapons. It begins by defining poverty and its different types. It then discusses how poverty can operate as a spirit through one's mind and attitudes, not just finances. Various scriptures are provided about God's provision and breaking free from lack. The document provides a prayer to break curses by bringing the authority of Jesus' cross and blood over any curses. It asks God to send angels to disarm all curses and black arts.

carnal but mighty in God for pulling down
strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and
every high thing that exalts itself against the
knowledge of God, bringing every thought
into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

36. Ponder these questions:
 WHO IS THE GOD THAT CREATED US.
 WHO IS THE GOD THAT SAVED US.
 WHO IS THE GOD THAT CONSTANTLY
PROVIDES FOR ALL OUR NEEDS.
 The following scriptures will give us a glimpse
of Who He is.

37. Who our God is
 Psalm 24:1 (NKJV)
The King of Glory and His Kingdom

 24 The earth is the LORD’s, and all its
fullness,
The world and those who dwell therein.

 10 For every beast of the forest is Mine,
And the cattle on a thousand hills.
 Haggai 2:8 (NKJV)


says the LORD of hosts.

39. He makes us rich
 2 Corinthians 8:9 (NKJV)
 9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus
Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your
sakes He became poor, that you through His
poverty might become rich.

40. He is our Father,
we are His heirs
 Romans 8:16-17 (NKJV)
 16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our
spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if
children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint
heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer
with Him, that we may also be glorified
together.

41. He prospers us
 Deuteronomy 28:12 (NKJV)
 12 The LORD will open to you His good
treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your
land in its season, and to bless all the work of
your hand. You shall lend to many nations,
but you shall not borrow.

42. Prophetic Weapons
 Any type of prophetic utterance or
activation is a powerful weapon that
penetrates as a double edge sword cutting
any darkness and strongholds off of
personal lives, your surroundings,
circumstances and any possible situation.

43. Praying in the Spirit
 The bible says that we don’t know how to
pray, but the Holy Spirit in us will intercede
with groaning that cannot be understood.
 When we pray in tongues we allow the Holy
Spirit to search our hearts and so He will bring
in the right prayer that we need at the moment.
 Tongues is a powerful weapon for our own
encouragement.

44. Declaration and Proclamation
 Many countries have gain independence from
the oppressor, we will follow that model to
become free from the oppressor:
 Know your rights and authority.
 Recognise the abuse and oppression.
 Write down the tenets of our independence.
 Sign up an get witnesses signing up with you.
 Proclamation of what has been declared.

45. Prophecy weapon.
 This is one of our stronger weapons, as we are
declaring God’s word into any circumstance.
 We don’t see the actual situation, but we see the
Word of God fulfilling the plan, promises and
blessings that God already has commanded for as to
receive and posses.
 Knowledge of the Word, our faith in it and our
thanksgiving will work together for the realization of
what is already done in the spiritual realm.

46. Time to pray
Now we’ll exercise the power and authority that God
has conferred to us, and boldly we’ll make prophetic
declarations and proclamations based on the Word of
God, to break any curse that could be affecting our lives
and the ones of our beloved ones.
Repeat this at home many times as you can, do a
paragraph and meditate on it, let the Holy Spirit speak
to you, then continue using the same method.

47. BREAKING
CURSES

48. A Prayer for Breaking Curses
 I proclaim that “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the
law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: 'Cursed
is everyone who is hung on a tree'" (Galatians 3:13).
 In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I now bring the
fullness of his cross, death, blood, and sacrifice, his
resurrection, life, and empty tomb, his authority, rule, and
dominion; I bring judgment from the Lord Jesus Christ
against every foul power, witchcraft, black art, and curse.
I bring Jesus Christ cursed for me against all curses that
have been raised against me—written, spoken, unspoken,
or transferred to me.

49.  {If you know what the exact curses are, it helps to
name them. For example, “all curses of death,” or “all
curses on my marriage or my health,” etc.}
 I bring the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the Son of
God, his blood shed upon the cross, against all blood
sacrifices and rituals and their every claim against
me.
 I bring Jesus Christ, the Son of God, sacrificed for
me, against all ritual sacrifices and their every claim
against me.

50.  I bring the dedication of Jesus Christ for me in death upon
the cross against all ritual dedications. In the name and by
the blood of Jesus Christ, I break the power and hold of
every curse that has come to me through a ritual or a
ritual sacrifice.
 In the name and by the blood of Jesus Christ, I break the
power and hold of every curse that has come to me
through transfer by another human being.

51.  In the name and by the blood of Jesus Christ, I break the
power and hold of every curse that has come to me
through words spoken. In the name and by the blood of
Jesus Christ, I break the power and hold of every curse
that has come to me through occult practices.
 In the name of Jesus Christ, I declare every legal hold and
every legal ground of the enemy broken, disarmed, and
destroyed. Satan has no hold over me now through curses
or occult practices, through sacrifices or any ritual of any
kind.

52.  Through the blood of Jesus Christ, I am free.
 Thank you, Jesus, for setting me free.
 I order these curses and claims utterly disarmed and
dismantled now, through the power of the blood of Jesus
Christ, and in his name.
 In the name of Jesus Christ, I command all demonic
spirits that have gained access to me through curses and
rituals cut off and banished from me and my household,
in the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

53.  Jesus, I ask you to send your angels now to
completely disarm all curses and black arts
from me; disarm their every device and render
them destroyed.
 I ask your angels to remove all foul spirits
involved in these curses and black arts and
bind them to your feet for judgment.

54.  Jesus, may these things be fully accomplished
now through your mighty name. I give you
thanks and honor and praise.
 All of this I pray by the authority and in the
mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ of
Nazareth, who came in the flesh.

 Thank you Lord.
 Amen.

55. “By the mouth of two or three
witnesses every word shall be
established.” 2 Cor. 13:1
 You will write down your declaration of
independence of poverty, sign it up, ask two
friends to be your witnesses and sign up your
declaration as well, then boldly proclaim it
before the Lord.

56. Next week:
 “To be the head, and not the tail.”
 Deuteronomy 28:13 (NKJV)
 13 And the LORD will make you the head and
not the tail; you shall be above only, and not
be beneath, if you heed the commandments of
the LORD your God, which I command you
today, and are careful to observe them.
