If your baby or child is constantly screaming or afraid, don't ignore them. There could be something more wrong with them than a wet diaper or hungry tummy. Look out for some of these signs

Sign 1

Your baby or child will never go to one of your family members, friends or acquaintances and > screams when this person holds them.

Possible Cause

It could be that this person has an open door to the enemy in their life and is under a curse. Your child is sensing something negative in their spirits and doesn't want to be near them.

The child reacts to the situation the only way they know how - by screaming or making a fuss. Your child is also possibly feeling scared of this person.

The Word On It

Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be a partaker of other men's sins: keep yourself pure. (1 Timothy 5:22)

Real Life Example

As a baby, Sarah* was a happy child who was content to go to any person's arms except for her aunt. Every time her aunt picked her up, she would scream until someone else took her.

Sarah's aunt was not a Christian and was in fact against Christianity. She was also under a curse, which showed in her bitter attitude and bad family life.

Steps to a Solution

The best step to make would be to not allow this person to hold your child. However, this can be a difficult or sensitive thing to express without causing offense, particularly if your child is still a baby.

Depending on your specific situation, follow one of these steps.

Step 1

For the sake of keeping your child happy and content, try and stop this person from holding them or being alone with them. If your child is a baby and this person insists on holding them, stay close to assure your child of your presence.

Step 2

If contact with this person is unavoidable, once they have left, break spiritual links with them and speak peace on your child. Read Breaking Spiritual Links (Chapter 9) for further details.

Step 3

If this person is a Christian and has caused an open offense to you or your child through words or actions, follow the steps of r reconciliation in Matthew 18:15 to17.

Moreover if your brother trespasses against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone: if he listens to you, you have gained your brother. But if he will not listen to [you, then] take with you one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every [rhema] word may be established. And if he fails to listen to them, tell [it] to the church: but if he fails to listen to the church, let him be to you as a heathen person and a tax collector.

Step 4

If your situation is more serious and your child is being plagued by this person, ask the Lord to cause a division between this person and your child. Speak peace and protection on your child and resist the works of the enemy.

Sign 2

Your child has a constant problem sleeping in their room at night or even in the day. This could be because of fear of the dark, nightmares, bed wetting, or some other internal problem.

Possible Cause

There could be a contaminated or cursed object in their room. Look for any family heirlooms, gifts, objects recently brought into their room and obvious idols. These items could include paintings, books, clothes, toys, etc.

The Word On It

Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow: for thus says the LORD [Yahweh] God of Israel, [There is] an accursed thing in the midst of you, O Israel: you can not stand before your enemies, until you take away the accursed thing from among you. (Joshua 7:13)

Neither shall you bring an abomination into your house, lest you be a cursed thing like it: [but] you shall utterly detest it, and you shall utterly abhor it; for it [is] a cursed thing. (Deuteronomy 7:26)

Real Life Example

Claire* loved the new books she had received as a gift from a family friend. They were stories from the Bible and one that seemed to have a Christian emphasis about angels.

However, every night after putting those books in her room, she would wake up in the middle of the night with nightmares and have to rush to her mother for comfort.

Unsure what the reason could be, Claire's mother searched through her daughters bedroom. Upon closer inspection of the new books her daughter had received, she noticed a distinct New Age slant to some of the stories. She destroyed the books and her daughter's nightmares stopped.

Steps to a Solution

The obvious solution to this problem would be to remove the cursed or contaminated object from the room or house it is in. However before you do anything, the most important first step to take is to stop and ask the Lord for revelation as to where the curse is coming from and what object needs to be removed.

You can further identify the problem by asking yourself these questions.

When did the problem start? Try to pinpoint it to an exact day.

What happened that day, or what did I bring into my home that day?

Once you have discovered the contaminated object, whether it be a painting, book, clothes, item of furniture, etc., follow one of the steps below that applies to your situation.

Step 1

If the object is a known idol, like a Buddha, cross, painting or an item related to Catholicism, books about false religions or the occult, etc., the only option is for you to destroy it. Throw it in the trash, tear it up or burn it - whichever method you would prefer.

Do not give this item to someone else, as you will merely be moving the curse from your house to theirs.

Step 2

If the object is a family heirloom, you must either destroy it, give it to someone that is not in your family, or sell it.

The sentimental attachment to this item is what opens the door to the family generational curse. Someone outside of your family will not have the same sentimental attachment to it, so therefore they won't be affected in the same way.

However you must pray over this item first before giving it away. Read Sentimental Objects and Family Heirlooms (Chapter 48) for further details.

Note: If the family heirloom is actually an idol, follow Step 1.

Step 3

If the item was just recently given to you and does not contain any words such as toys, furniture, clothes, etc., you simply need to pray over the object and dedicate it to the Lord.

Read Cursed Objects (Chapter 8) for further details.

Step 4

If the item is a book, letter, newspaper, magazine or any other object with written words in it, throw it away. As we covered in the lectures, words contain a person's spirit, and you cannot pray over the object to remove the contamination.

The best action to take is to destroy the item. However if this is not possible, move it to a location as far away from you as possible. Certainly take it out of your child's bedroom.

Step 5

Perhaps you did not bring an object into the room, but realize that the curse started after a person stayed in your child's bedroom or slept in their bed. If that is the case then you must follow the steps given in Buildings Under a Curse.

Once you have removed the offending object, pray and dedicate the room to the Lord and ask Him to bring blessing in place of the curse. Read Speaking Blessing for further details.

Note: If your child has difficulty sleeping anywhere in your house, but seems to be fine in another environment such as a friends house or church, then you need to follow the Solution Steps above for your entire home.

If you lived in a previous house without any problems, but suddenly started experiencing problems in the new house, it is possible that the entire house is under a curse from the owner. Read Buildings Under a Curse (Chapter 3) for further details.

Sign 3

Your young child is usually a loving, well behaved child. But they suddenly become selfish, rebellious, angry or cause fights after going to school or interacting with other people.

Possible Cause

It could be that they have met or been playing with another child that is under a curse.

Children are very trusting and generally open their hearts easily to others. This would bring them under a curse, because they opened their heart to this other person and their spirit has become contaminated by this person's curse.

A clear sign to look for as to whether your child's friend is under a curse or not, would be to examine the child's family life and parents. The young child is merely a product of their parent's condition.

The Word On It

Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. 1 Corinthians 15:33

Real Life Example

Generally Sammy* and Tom* are ordinary, well behaved children. However, every second weekend, Anne* and Ben* come to visit with their grandparents from across the road, and all the kids take the opportunity to play together and explore the neighborhood.

However after they go home, Sammy and Tom act like different children. They fight with each other and become overactive. Anne and Ben and their grandparents across the road are not Christians, and therefore they open their spirits to things that are not of God.

To solve the problem, Sammy and Tom's mom would sometimes not allow her kids to play with the others from across the road. This did not make the kids very happy, so she found that a more fair solution was to explain to her children why she didn't like them playing together.

She explained that they were being influenced by the other kids instead of being a blessing. She taught them how to not open their hearts to the other kids and talk to them about Jesus instead. They also learned how to break links with their friends each time.

It got to a point where Sammy and Tom were teaching the other two kids Sunday school songs and telling them about Jesus. At the time of the situation, Sammy was 6 and Tom was 5 years old.

Steps to a Solution

If your child's friend is not a Christian, the ideal solution would be for your child to not play with the person at all. However this is seldom a possible solution, particularly if your child is going to school with them.

There is more that you can do though. You don't have to be a victim in this situation. Follow one or more of the steps below that apply to you.

Step 1

You cannot be a constant protection to your child. It is up to you as a parent to teach them the truth and give them the spiritual weapons they need to face the world.

Sit down with your child and explain the concept of curses to him, as well as not opening their heart to the person. The important thing to make them understand is that the problem is not with the person, but with their spirit, and with how much they have allowed Jesus into their lives.

If your child is taught how to guard their hearts from a curse, they can and should shine the blessing of the Lord to everyone around them, instead of them being effected by the other kid's curse.

Children are far more perceptive than we realize. If you ask the Lord for the best way to teach this to your child, He will give you wisdom to say the right words that will help them understand.

Step 2

Each time your child comes back after interacting with others and is behaving badly, you must sit down and pray with them. Explain to them that they have sinned by being rebellious or dishonoring their parents, and they must ask Jesus to forgive them.

Then they must follow the steps in breaking links with the person they were playing with. Read Breaking Spiritual Links (Chapter 22) for further details.

This does not have to take very long. If you diligently go through this process each time a situation like this arises, they will learn how to handle it. They could even learn to break links with the person on their own as they understand more what they are doing.

Note: When breaking links, your child must speak the words out loud themselves. It is common that they will be too shy to speak or won't know what to say.

All you need to do then is reassure them that you will do this with them. Then you can say the words for them to repeat after you.

Step 3

If the person your child is playing with is a Christian, you could minister to the child or their parents. You could show them how to break the curse in their lives and walk in the blessing of the Lord.

Important: You must be led of the Lord to do this. If you attempt to minister to someone who is not open to receive, you will end up coming under their curse instead of bringing blessing.

Never fall into the trap of judging others because they are under bondage to Satan. This will put you in the same position as them, where you are opening the door to a curse through sin.

Rather see that this person is trapped and does not know the truth to break free. You hold the truth they need, and if the Lord arranged the circumstances, you could be an instrument of blessing and show them the truly blessed life we have in Christ.

Note: If you do find an opportunity to speak or minister to this person, but they don't receive what you are saying, remember to break links with them, or you will experience a backlash in the spirit. Read Dealing With a Backlash for details.

Sign 4

You are feeling sad, depressed, angry or bitter. Or you are having a physical problem, and your child suddenly starts feeling the same way as you or having the same problem.

Possible Cause

Because you are the covering for your child and are constantly pouring your spirit into them, any curse or negative situation you are under will automatically affect your child.

The Word On It

But whoever shall offend these little ones who believe in me, it were better for him that a milestone where hanged about his neck, and [that] he were drowned in the depth of the sea. (Matthew 18:6)

Real Life Example

Denise* was sitting in the lounge with her mom. Suddenly she turned to her and said,

"Mom, I'm feeling very sad and want to cry, but I don't know why and I can't stop it."

Denise's mom was shocked, as she was going through a very difficult emotional time and was feeling the same way. She realized that her daughter was sensing what she was going through and being affected by it.

She immediately led her daughter through a prayer to break links with her and separate any spiritual influence she would have on her daughter. Then she sought ministry for herself. Denise who was 7 years old was perfectly happy after that.

Note: If your child has been saved all their life and often shows signs of being spiritually sensitive in this way, it is possible they could have a prophetic call.

Steps to a Solution

You must examine yourself and first solve the problem in your life that is affecting your child. If you need ministry to overcome the problem you are facing, seek the Lord for the answer and ask your spiritual leader to pray with you.

Look for personal sin and family generational curses. Read Breaking Family Generational Links (Chapter 9) for further details.

As a temporary solution, lead your child through the steps of breaking links with you, so that they can be free from being affected by your spiritual condition. Read Breaking Spiritual Links (Chapter 8) for further details.

Signs 5

From very young, possibly even from newborn, your child gets an ailment or sickness that commonly runs in the family.

Possible Cause

There is no such thing as a sickness that runs in the family. There is only a generation curse that runs in the family and this can be dealt with.

It is very likely that your child is suffering with this ailment, because someone in your family opened the door to a curse. Because of this your child is now they are being affected by this curse through the generations.

The Word On It

Showing a curse passed down through the generations.

Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear [the guilty]; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, to the third and to the fourth [generation]. (Exodus 34:7)

Showing a blessing passed down through the generations.

And the LORD [Yahweh] said to Jehu, Because you have done well in executing [that which is] right in my eyes, [and] have done to the house of Ahab according to all that [was] in my heart, your children of the fourth [generation] shall sit on the throne of Israel. (2 Kings 10:30)

Real Life Example

Carol's* mother always had gynecological problems, from hormone imbalances to infections. Then as an adult Carol started having the same problems.

She quickly identified a family generation curse when she noticed that her 1 year old child had the same weakness or susceptibility to the same kind of problems.

She broke the family generational links between her daughter, herself and her mother, and repeated the process each time she was in contact with her mother.

While she continued to walk in the blessing of the Lord, neither Carol nor her daughter experienced these problems again.

Steps to a Solution

The most important thing to know is that this illness is not from God. The Scripture says,

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variation, nor moving shadow. (James 1:17)

Illness is not a perfect gift, and Satan is the one who brings loss and destruction. Stand in your authority in Christ and as a child of the King and reject this curse from Satan.

Go through the steps in Breaking Family Generation Links and break your child free from this curse.
