Seeking help in ending Generational curses	Debby	Thursday, March 15, 2012
Question: Please help! I recently learned from a healer that my marriage was cursed by another family member. My husband was the first to be affected and our children inherited it, and that I too have been passed some of the curse. What do you make of this assessment? Also, I am concerned that seeking this help may go against the church. Am I committing a sin by saying the prayers asked of me to free us from this curse? The bible warns us about these types, but can some do God's work and help me? This man claims he is a devout Catholic. How do I know who is to be trusted?
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OMSM(r) Dear Debby: Whether or not this "healer" can be trusted depends upon what he does. In terms of informing you that there is a family curse, how does he know this? I am concerned that he calls himself a "healer" as that may mean that he is in the Charismatic Renewal and thereby has erroneous understanding of the gifts. If he "just knows" about this curse because God allegedly told him, then I would be very cautious about him. There are many factors in determining whether or not a family curse is present. A one-liner clue comes from a country song, "It it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all." If you feeling this sentiment, it may be a clue, but only a clue. So-called "bad luck" can come from dysfunctional behavor patterns learned from parents, psychological issues, bad habits, and sin. As for the prayers he has asked you to pray, there is no way for me to assess that without reading them. We do have a prayer in our Spiritual Warfare Prayer Catalog for curses. If it is a family curse then the prayer, Breaking Household Curses and Spells, would be advisable. It does not hurt to pray the above pray just in case. If there is no curse, then you will still get a grace from God for offering the prayer. If there was a family member who cast a curse, then that family member should be avoided. Do not accept gifts or food from this person. Do not let this person into your house. In addition, since a family member doing this implies a grudge or revenge of some sort, it may be wise to say this breaking curses prayer above on a regular basis. Do not be afraid, however. Actually, most curses fail. Most curses turn around and curse the curse-caster. The devil is very mean to his own. Praying the prayer above is a good thing to do just in case. More is needed, however. You and your husband need to live the best Catholic lives you know how to live. Get you spiritual lives in order as if there is anything lacking that gives the devil an opportunity. God Bless, Bro. Ignatius Mary For information on how to receive help see our Help page.

Also our Spiritual Warfare Prayer Catalog contains many prayers that may be helpful. If needed you can ask for a Personal Consultation.

Dear Debby:

Whether or not this "healer" can be trusted depends upon what he does. In terms of informing you that there is a family curse, how does he know this?
