Breaking Evil Words & Ancestral Curses Prayer | Grow in God Devotionals

 

Intro to the Prayer

I have been battling demonic curses unleashed against me by family members, neighbours, coworkers, and even in-laws. Many times when disagreements arise, people try to impose control so that you yield to their desires, especially when those desires come from familiar strongholds passed from generation to generation. And the moment you refuse to conform, they attack you—through evil thoughts, bitter words, invisible curses, manipulative behaviour, or even through deliberate rituals done in secret places.

Some people, driven by jealousy, bitterness, hatred, and envy, may even take the extra step of consulting witch doctors or, worse, practising witchcraft themselves. Proverbs 18:21 reminds us that “Death and life are in the power of the tongue,” and as children of God we are commanded to speak blessing. Yet there are those who delight in cursing, speaking destruction, stirring confusion, and projecting demonic intentions.

But through Christ, we are not helpless. Luke 10:19 declares that Jesus has given us power and authority to trample serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, including every wicked tongue, every demonic projection, every spell, charm, incantation, slander, gossip, smear campaign, evil imagination, and ritualistic demonic gathering aimed at our downfall.

This prayer is for those who refuse to be victims of demonic words, spiritual manipulation, or occult assault — and who stand firmly in the authority given to them by the Lord Jesus Christ.

Opening Renunciation (Before Praying the Prayer Below)

Before you pray the prayer below, pause for a moment and ask the Lord to search your heart.
Meditate on Psalm 139:23–24:

“Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me, and know my anxieties;
And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.”

Ask God to reveal any shortcomings, attitudes, actions, or open doors that need cleansing. Confess them and ask for forgiveness.

Then, release forgiveness toward every person you suspect may have spoken curses, evil words, jealous thoughts, negative declarations, or demonic intentions against you. Forgiving them does not justify what they did — it simply removes their legal right to affect your life spiritually.

Affirm God’s justice according to Galatians 6:7:

“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.”

The Lord is never partial. Any demonic alliances, networks, covens, gatherings, and conspiracies working against you will face His judgment in due time — if they are truly guilty.

We are strictly forbidden to repay evil for evil.
Instead, obey Ephesians 5:11–13:

“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them… for whatever makes manifest is light.”

So ask the Lord not only to defend you, but to expose, reveal, and dismantle the works of darkness operating behind the scenes — while also shining His light on the hearts of those being used as instruments of torment.

Short Opening Prayer Before the Main Prayer

Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, I come before You humbly and honestly. Search my heart, cleanse me from every sin, and close every door that the enemy could use against me. I forgive every person who has spoken evil over my life, knowingly or unknowingly. I release them from my judgment and place them into Your hands.

Father, I affirm that You are a righteous Judge, and according to Galatians 6:7, no evil deed will go unnoticed before You. As I pray, expose every hidden work of darkness and shine Your light on every demonic alliance standing against my life. Strengthen me, purify me, and prepare my spirit to pray with authority, power, and clarity. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

Prayer for Condemning Evil Words and Breaking Covenants

Heavenly Father, I come before You acknowledging that words have power, and I seek to address the negative pronouncements spoken over my life. I stand on Isaiah 54:17: “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.”

Therefore, I now condemn every evil tongue that has risen against me in judgment, speaking against the destiny You have declared for me. I reject, renounce, and denounce every evil word. Let the power of those words fall to the ground and never take shape in my life, in the name of Jesus Christ.

Every evil word and every evil declaration that has had me walking in the opposite direction of Your will, Your favour, and Your grace—every evil word that has pushed me out of alignment with my destiny—I break their power over me today.

As a repairer of the breach, I break the evil words, the evil covenants, and the evil decrees over my life. Father God, let them be consumed by Your fire. Let them become ashes. Let them now become a stepping stone to elevate and catapult me into my destiny.

Father, every spiritual chain, every spiritual cord, and every spiritual device that has held me back as a result of others’ words, or as a result of my family members involving themselves in sorcery, idol worship, voodoo, and witchcraft—Father, I renounce them. I denounce them. I divorce myself from those covenants.

Your Word declares that because Christ became a curse for me, “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). Therefore, I transfer every curse to the cross of Jesus Christ, who has become the curse for me.

Father, for every family member who still has their hands in sorcery and is causing the family not to move forward, I pray that You bring an end to it. I pray for their salvation and deliverance, but Father God, please bring it to an end. Let power shift hands. Let power change hands.

Just as Gideon was instructed by the angel of the Lord to tear down the altars of Baal and the altars of sorcery that cast a dark cloud over Israel, I am asking You, Father God: every dark cloud over my family, every dark cloud over those who are watching this video right now, every curse, hex, and covenant established to secure the consistency of negativity—we break and destroy it now.

Let the fire and power of God bring judgment on those covenants and sever them. Father, the connections that evil powers and evil spirits behind the altars have used—running freely through our bloodline, maintaining backwardness, poverty, failure, divorce, sickness, disease, confusion, and mental instability—Father, every spirit affiliated with those altars, we come against them now. We bind their powers.

Father God, we renounce every evil covenant and every evil device. Whatever my family members have taken as a token from an altar—as supposed protection or otherwise—wherever that object is buried or hidden in our homes, let it be consumed spiritually by the fire of the living God.

Father, we pray that the angels of the Lord, whom You have given charge over us, will be assigned to our homes, our vehicles, our finances, and every area of our lives, to eradicate every evil power that has been holding territory that does not belong to them.

Father, we invoke Your Word according to Proverbs 6:31: “But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.” We now command in the name of Jesus that the thief who has been stealing from us through spiritual ignorance must return a minimum of sevenfold of everything he has stolen.

Father God, You have ordained and anointed me to be a repairer of the breach, according to Isaiah 58. Not only can I break curses in my own life, but by Your grace, I have done so in the lives of others.

So tonight, for everyone watching and listening, I come into agreement with them. Every curse that has shackled them spiritually, delayed them spiritually, or blocked them from experiencing the promises and plans of God—this night, I pray that the curse is broken, the limitations destroyed, and every covenant generating negativity and failure dissolved by fire. I divorce these people from every evil covenant in the name of Jesus.

Father, we plead the blood of Jesus over their minds. Remove the scales and blindness, not just from their eyes but from their minds. Many have been programmed by long-standing curses and traditions. They have been bound like puppets to demonic powers.

Release them. I command every devil, demon, and evil power to release them—release their finances, release their minds. Every spirit of depression, suicide, fear, and mental instability that entered through covenants and altars—your covenant is destroyed, and you no longer have the legal right to control them. I plead the blood of Jesus against every evil covenant.

I join my faith with theirs even now, standing on Matthew 18:19: “Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.” We agree together for the severing of every curse, hex, incantation, or spell. We ask God, in the name of Jesus, to surgically and permanently remove and destroy every evil covenant. These powers no longer have any right to their lives.

Father, I pray right now for a new mind. Your Word declares in Romans 12:2: “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind…” Now they can prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Before, they could not, because of the curse and covenants. But tonight, they are released.

Release them into their destiny. Catapult them to where they should have been at this stage in their lives. Whatever has hindered them is now removed. The spiritual road is cleared and paved so they may walk without hindrance, delay, or setback.

Father, every devil that attempts to return for re-entry—let confusion strike that demonic force. Let that spirit lose its geographical location and identity. Everything used to represent these people at evil altars—clothing, personal items, blood, images, photos—Father, let every evil altar holding their representation be consumed and dissolved by Your fire.

Father, we overthrow every spiritual and physical altar working against them. Every altar attempting to regain entry through temptation or manipulation—we reject, renounce, and divorce ourselves from them in the name of Jesus.

For those whose family members have spoken evil words and decrees over them—words spoken behind their backs that empowered evil forces to strip them of destiny and virtue—tonight, as a repairer of the breach, we correct and repair those breaches. We realign them with their original God-ordained destiny.

Let tonight become the springboard launching them into where they should have been. Just like the angel told Gideon—though impoverished, though defeated—heaven still saw him as a mighty man of valour. Father, whatever You have called them to be, that is what I call them, and that is how I see them. Let what You have spoken about them come forth from the spirit realm and clothe them in the natural. Advance them with favour and grace.

Your Word declares in Psalm 5:12: “For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.” You promised to restore what was lost. Many here are in their 60s and 70s—Father, recompense them like You promised. In Joel 2:25 You said, “And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten…” and in Proverbs 11:31: “Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth…” They qualify because righteousness comes through Christ. They have accepted Jesus; therefore, they qualify.

Your Word also says in Hebrews 10:35: “Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.” As they hold fast to Your Word, You will exceed what they lost. For You said in Ephesians 3:20: “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think…”

I pray for the woman who has suffered divorce and believes her life is over. The devil is a liar. Romans 8:1 declares: “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus…” There is hope for you. Restoration is coming.

Father, restore marriages affected by covenants and evil words spoken over them. As a repairer of the breach, I condemn every evil act, voice, and sacrifice made against their marriages, destinies, and happiness. I bind couples together in love and harmony. Remove unforgiveness, bitterness, and hatred—spirits that orchestrated divorce—yet we cancel those acts now in the name of Jesus Christ.

Father, for those in financial struggle who have done everything except follow Your laws, open their understanding. Many say they have nothing, but You have given them something. Let them invest in the lives of those who can do nothing for them—according to Your laws—which activates divine resourcing.

I pray for those bound by tradition—who have heard truth, seen manifestations, yet remain shackled by guilt, manipulation, and control. Free them from dead traditions and release them into the ministries, gifts, and destinies You assigned to them—teaching, healing, preaching, business ideas, wisdom, and creativity. Do not let them remain in places You moved them from long ago.

Father God, I pray for those seeking the abundant life. May they follow the actual protocols that produce abundance—not false promises, not sowing to enrich the already wealthy, not ritualistic tithing or first fruits taught outside Your laws. Abundance comes only through Your biblical laws and protocols, not human manipulation.

So Father, we thank You tonight for the knowledge You have given us. I pray that through this teaching, I have inspired them to dig deeper into Your Word, to hunger for a deeper relationship with You, and to focus on Your laws and principles. Following Your laws, not human doctrines, produces the promises. When we obey preachers but disobey God, we enter idolatry. We repent for every time we placed the creation above the Creator.

Tonight, Father, we repent for violating Your laws and Your rules. We come with hearts that truly regret the evil we have done and said. We ask for Your assistance to turn us away from the wrong paths, wrong habits, and wrong beliefs. We want results. We want change. We want good fruit—the fruit that righteousness and obedience produce.

Father, we bless You, honour You, and praise You. We seal this prayer according to Your Word in Mark 11:24: “Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” We believe, and therefore we receive, in the mighty and matchless name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.

Final Thoughts

If you are going to sow seed, invest it in the life of someone who can do nothing for you. Make sacrifices to help the poor and the vulnerable. Do not enrich the already rich. The Bible says that whoever takes from the poor and gives to the rich “shall surely come to poverty”—that is a spiritual law and protocol.
