Any comments.
1. Who gives blessings?
"The blessing of the LORD makes one rich and HE adds no sorrow to
it" (Proverbs 10:22). The LORD GOD gives blessings.
2. Who reverses curses?
"And it shall come to pass that just as you were a curse among the
nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, So I will save you
and you shall be a blessing" (Zechariah 8:13). The LORD GOD can
reverse a curse to a blessing.
3. Who gives curses?
"And now, O Priests, this commandment is for you. If you will not
hear and if you will not take it to heart to give glory to MY name,
Says the LORD of hosts. I will send a curse upon you and I will
curse your blessings. Yes, I have cursed them already because you do
not take it to heart" (Malachi 2:1-2). The LORD GOD may send a curse.
In Genesis 12:3 God is speaking to Abram, "I will bless those that
bless you and I will curse him who curses you and in you all the
families of the earth shall be blessed." People can curse and bless.
God can send a blessing for eternity.
4. How long may or will a curse last?
"And the LORD passed before him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD
GOD, merciful and gracious, long suffering, and abounding in
goodness and truth keeping mercy for thousands and giving iniquity
and transgression and sin, and by no means clearing the guilty,
visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the
children's children to the 3rd and 4th generation" (Exodus 34:6-7).
A curse may last at least 4 generations.
5. Who receives blessings from GOD?
"Blessings are on the head of the righteous." If you want to be
blessed of the LORD walk in righteousness and we know that
righteousness is through the Blood of the Lamb of JESUS CHRIST
(Proverbs 10:6). "Blessed are those who put their trust in HIM (The
LORD GOD). When you truly desire and want HIS blessings you will
trust HIM in all things (Psalm 2:12).
6. Is it possible to receive an earthly blessing?
"The curse of the LORD is on the house of the wicked but HE blesses
the home of the just" (Proverbs 3:33). Yes, we may receive earthly
blessings.
7. Is it possible to receive a spiritual blessing?
"Blessed be the God and Father of our LORD JESUS CHRIST who has
blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in
Christ" (Ephesians 3:3). Yes, we may receive spiritual blessings.
8.How do we get free from the curses in our lives?
"Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a
curse for us (for it is written, 'Cursed is everyone who hangs on a
tree'), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in
CHRIST JESUS, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit
through faith" (Galatians 3:13-14). We do not have to be influenced
or walk in the consequences of generational or genetic curses
because of the accomplished work of JESUS on the cross.
9. What did JESUS say to do about those that curse you?
"But I say to you who hear; Love your enemies, do good to those who
hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who
spitefully use you" (Luke 6:27-28). "For if you forgive men their
trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you
do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father
forgive your trespasses" (Matthew 6:14-15). As a Christian, it is
imperative that we bless, love, forgive and pray for those who have
cursed us. It is not about how we think or feel, it is obedience, it
is a choice.

No More Curses-Old Testament curses under the law are gone and wiped out for good!
"There is therefore nowNo Condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus , who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me Free from the law of sin and death." Romans 8:1-2
