Poverty vs. Abundance

“You know the generous grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that by his poverty he could make you rich.” 2 Corinthians 8:9 NLT

“For you are recognizing [more clearly] the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [His astonishing kindness, His generosity, His gracious favor], that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that by His poverty you might become rich (abundantly blessed).” 2 Corinthians 8:9 AMP

“you will serve your enemies whom the Lord will send against you. You will be left hungry, thirsty, naked, and lacking in everything. The Lord will put an iron yoke on your neck, oppressing you harshly until he has destroyed you.” Deuteronomy 28:48 NLT

“But Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When he was hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.” Through Christ Jesus, God has blessed the Gentiles with the same blessing he promised to Abraham, so that we who are believers might receive the promised Holy Spirit through faith.” Galatians 3:13-14 NLT

Curses have the characteristic of continuing on from generation to generation until it is broken by an individual who recognizes it, traces it to its source, and cuts it’s off. 
Curses - invisible barriers between you and the blessings. They are the invisible hands of the past, reaching into your present, in order to ruin your future. They constantly are tripping you up, and withholding the moment of breakthrough from actually manifesting. They are barriers that need to be torn down from there very foundation

“Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow, an undeserved curse will not land on its intended victim.” Proverbs 26:2 NLT

How you break the curse!
1.Identify it and repent for your part
2.Break the curse with your confession and your mouth
3.Turn from the behavior and obey the principle in that area that brings the blessing. (Replace every habit of failure and disobedience with a principle to practice that will summon the blessing!)
