Revelation 12:11
They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
We know that the name of Jesus is above all names. We know prayer is important. We know without faith it’s impossible to please God. But there are two things that the devil can not tolerate that will bring you victory over every situation in your life.
1. The blood of the Lamb
2. The word of your testimony
When you are in spiritual warfare at times even prayer and fasting will not bring the victory. When your in warfare and your fighting an occult spirit, a curse may be working against you and you don’t even know. The only thing that will break that curse, the only thing that will deliver you, the only thing that will set you free is the blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony.
There are curses, hexes, and vexes that have been put on people. It may not be something that you’ve done but could be a generational curse that has been brought down your lineage. How do you break free from an occult spirit? All spiritual warfare has to begin at the cross. The cross must be our vision, confession, and application. Why? The cross is where Satan was defeated. The cross broke Satan’s power and authority over your life, mind, body, spirit, and bloodline.
Galatians 3:13-14
13 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 pole.” 14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.
The promise of the Spirit means having the fullness of the Spirit in you that entitles you to complete redemption from the curse. Every curse that might have come one you, came on Jesus so that you could receive the blessings of Christ’s fullness in your life. He was cursed so that you could be blessed. You should see yourself as blessed and that the curse is already broken in your life. The blood has paid the price to redeem you from the curse.
Deuteronomy 28:1-14
If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. 2 All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God: 3 You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country. 4 The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks. 5 Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed. 6 You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out. 7 The Lord will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven. 8 The Lord will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The Lord your God will bless you in the land he is giving you. 9 The Lord will establish you as his holy people, as he promised you on oath, if you keep the commands of the Lord your God and walk in obedience to him. 10 Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they will fear you. 11 The Lord will grant you abundant prosperity—in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your ground—in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you. 12 The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. 13 The Lord will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the Lord your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom. 14 Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left, following other gods and serving them.
1. Personal exaltation. By this I mean being lifted up, honored.
2. Re-productiveness. I use this word to describe a person who reproduces, or is fruitful, in every area of life, whether physical or financial or relational or creative.
3. Health. You probably do not appreciate how much of a blessing health is until you are sick, and then you may wish you had thanked God more often for the blessing of being healthy.
4. Prosperity, or success. Prosperity in the Bible does not mean what it does to modern Americans. It is not luxurious living or an abundance of physical pleasures, but accomplishing God’s purpose and succeeding in doing His will. In Joshua 1:8 the Lord promised Joshua that whatever he did would prosper and that he would have good success. Yet the leader of the Israelites spent many of the following years in warfare, always exposed to danger, sleeping in open fields and leading the tough life of a soldier in war.
5. Victory. Blessing brings victory in every conflict that we enter in the will of God.

6. Being the head and not the tail. Some years ago I asked the Lord to tell me the difference between the head and the tail. The head makes the decisions and the tail gets dragged around. Let me ask you: How are you living—like a head or a tail? Do you make the decisions? Are your plans carried out successfully? Or are you the victim of pressures and forces and circumstances that drag you around, and you do not know what to expect next?
7. Being above and not beneath. This goes closely with being the head and not the tail.
God wants to lift you up and bless you. God wants to make you fruitful in every area of your life. God wants to bless you with good health. God wants to give you victory. You are the head and not the tail. God wants mental, spiritual, and financial prosperity to be upon your life. He wants areas that have broke down in your marriage or relationships to be healed and restored. He doesn’t want you to be accident prone. He doesn’t want you to have a history of curses and hexes on your life. He wants you to be victorious and overcome by the blood of the Lamb.
Read through Deuteronomy 28:1-14 again and this time write down all the promises that God gave to Moses. Now look over those promises and mark the ones you feel your lacking and confess them over your life. For example: “I am the head and not the tail.” You may say you are lacking in this area because you’re unemployed, you’re not the head of anything. Now I want you to say out loud, “Father, I come against the spirit of poverty right now. I rebuke the spirit of poverty by the blood of the Lamb and the word of my testimony. Jesus Christ defeated you spirit of poverty. I break every curse and vex that you have brought upon my life. I break fear. I break doubt. I break patterns. I break attitudes of the mind. In the name of Jesus.”
Apply this prayer to any area that you feel you are lacking and command the curse to be broken today.
