You Can't Curse Who God Has Blessed
Numerous verses in the Bible show us that no one can curse any person or thing that God blesses.
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: Galatians 3:13 (KJV)
Redeemed is the Greek word exagorazo, which means permanently removed from captivity, bought out from under, to purchase, to buy from, to redeem. It was used to describe the purchase of a slave for the purpose of freeing him or her. Christ took our curse, our punishment, so we don’t have to be cursed. He stood in our place and took our punishment and judgment. He did it to buy us back from the slavery of sin. Christ took on our curse. He took the penalty of the curse, which was death.
Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: Colossians 1:13 (KJV)
The word power in this verse would be better translated as authority. We’ve been delivered from the authority of darkness and translated into the kingdom of God’s dear Son. We are no longer under darkness. In darkness is the curse. In light, there is no darkness, therefore no curse.
…The curse causeless shall not come. Proverbs 26:2 (KJV)
This means that the curse can’t hurt you or affect you when you are right with God. It will not land on its intended victim. You are too blessed to be cursed. A curse cannot come without a cause. Don’t give the curse cause to land on you by willfully sinning. Those who walk with God are protected from the curse.
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. Genesis 12:2-3 (KJV)
The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just. Proverbs 3:33 (KJV)
God has blessed us as children of Abraham. God will bless those who bless and do good to us. Those who curse us will be cursed. God judges those who come against His own. The blessing rests on us, but the curse is in their house.
Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it. He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the Lord his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them. God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn. Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought! Numbers 23:20-23 (KJV)
Balaam sought to curse Israel, but those whom God has blessed cannot be cursed. God curses those who curse His own. There is “no enchantment” against God’s people.
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord. Isaiah 54:17 (KJV)
No weapon formed against us can prosper or be of any effect. Whatever the enemy tries to do, it won’t work against us, but God will use it to judge them. God is for us and nothing can stand against us.
What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself. Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us. Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”) No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:31-39 (New Living Translation, NLT)
