Oga what does it mean to be born again.
Let me educate you.
It means to be cleaned from all sin.
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—

To be born again mean to become a new creature being washed in the blood of Christ.

The blood of Christ is enough to wash away all sins and curses.

Stop combining African beliefs with Christianity.

I used to hold this view too.

Demonisation is a form of spiritual sickness. It may affect the body, soul or spirit of a person.

Except for grace if you have malaria or typhoid fever when you are getting born again, it doesn't just go even though by His stripes you are healed.

He’s been blocked a long time ago. He sends his curses through third parties and I laugh.

There is nothing like curses anywhere especially as a child of God. Once you give your life to Christ, you are a new creature and old things have passed away.

I have a parent who never was there in my growing up until I became successful, he has been cursing me since I became an adult (I no send him papa) and the more he curses, the more I become successful and when people go to tell him how I have been so successful, he claims me at that moment before them. After they leave, he sends more curses. Lol

So OP, nobody can curse you as long as you have God by your side.

Karma (good or bad luck, viewed as resulting from one's actions) - maybe
Curses - No

Galatians 3:13 WEB
Christ 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,"
1 Peter 2:24 WEB
who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.

In the same book of Bible you get both angles. For example, Deuteronomy 5:9-10 says, "I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing lovingkindness to thousands [of generations, see 7:9], to those who love Me and keep My commandments." But in Deuteronomy 24:16 it says, "Fathers shall not be put to death for their sons, nor shall sons be put to death for their fathers; everyone shall be put to death for his own sin." Both perspectives are in the same book. (Compare also Jeremiah 32:17-18 with Jeremiah 31:29.)
Why do we as born again then suffer for the sins of Adam and Eve

Once you are truly born again and you have the Holy Ghost in you, not curse or demon can be in you.
Many Christians think that the Holy Ghost is all about speaking unknown languages. It is much more than that.
If you are born of the spirit, you are sanctified. No unclean thing can dwell in you.
This is where you get it wrong. It is NOT about demons residing in a person, it is a matter of demons afflicting a person.

All Christians can cast out demons, once you have a few experiences, you will understand that some very serious and committed Christians can be demonized (I didn't say possessed)

The believer has to deal with the evil foundation, curses, evil covenants running through the family lineage.
What salvation or being born again does in the life of a believer is to confer rights and access, authority ( to bind or loose), but the failure to do the needful with regards to evil pattern, demonic cycle, etc is to indirectly permit them to run riots in such lives and destinies.

If someone gets born again, will the person still be affected by past ancestral Bondages or curses? Please contribute... in situations were you offended someone and the person cursed, you may have to go back to apologize or return what you stole..

Please contribute!
Being born-again simply means one has entered into the Kingdom of God through either of the Broad gate which leads to destruction at the end(Hellfire) or the Narrow gate which leads to True Life at the end(Heaven) - John 3 vs 1 - 8 & Matthew 7 vs 13 - 14 & Luke 13 vs 22 - 30. What this means is that even those who will end up in Hell(Eternal damnation) at the end will all be born-again. And those who will end up in Hell are under curses, many of the curses laid out by Jesus Christ on those who belong to Him yet refusing to obey Him. undecided

Yes.. it doesn't matter if you are born again or not. Ancestral bondage applies to the person.
Being born again, the holy spirit highlights you of things in your foundation that you need to separate from.

First, it's not in your power to decide who is born again. Only God sees the heart. It's not up to you to tell who is born again and qualified for heaven.
Also being a member of any church does not make you born again.
Paul taught that when you are born again, you become a new creature.
Jesus Christ taught that old things are passed away.
You are washed in the blood of Christ. And trust me, his blood is powerful enough to wash away any curse. Unless you don't believe.
I know all that...he had his past and had since come to Christ. When I say he's born again, you should understand better. Had he not gone into a violent prayer, he'd also not have made it to 40 just like others before him.

My friend, pls read Daniel 10:10-14. I'm sure you must have read about Daniel in the bible and known he wasn't a sinner. Yet, the Prince of Persia withheld answers to his prayers from being delivered to him, after praying and fasting for days. The bible didn't say its generational curses that prevented his answers from reaching him though. But had Daniel not prayed so violently, despite being a servant of God and a faithful one for that matter, his prayers could have been hindered for ever.

If you like, be speaking in tongues as born again xtian, it doesn't absolve you from being haunted by generational curses. Until you break it, could be same-same. Go and ask real men of God concerning the battle they faced before overcoming it

A born-again who gains access into the Kingdom of God through the Broad gate that leads to destruction at the end(Eternal damnation) is not a child of God - John 3 vs 1 - 8 & Matthew 7 vs 13 - 14 & Luke 13 vs 22 - 30. undecided

Most Africans practice fetish Christianity. Are you saying that someone who has been washed in the blood of Christ still bears curses of the past?
If the blood of Christ is not strong enough to wash. These curses then, who can?
If demonic curses still rest upon someone filled with the fire of the Holy Ghost, that makes the Holy Ghost powerless.
It is like saying if you have been born again, you can't get angry, especially if your family has a history of anger.

You will get angry if you don't specifically address the spirit of anger in your blood.

Look at moses. His ancestor was Levi.
Levi and simon were sons of Jacob. They had so much anger in them that they invaded cannaan and slaughted people when their sister Dinah was raped.

Even Jacob said this about levi and simon.

Cursed be their anger, so fierce, and their fury, so cruel! I will scatter them in Jacob and disperse them in Israel.
Gen 49:7

That anger went through their bloodstream down to moses who slaughtered an Egyptian in anger in Egypt and fled.
He got to Mount Sinai and threw the commandment on the golden calf in anger when he saw the israelites worshipping idols.
God had to give him another one.

Moses got to Horeb and he smote the rock in anger, even when God told him to speak to the rock.
That anger in his blood cost him the promised land.
This was the same Moses that the Bible said was the meekest on the earth. The holyspirit on him was so great that God shared it to 70 other people, and he still had enough, and yet anger cost him the promised land.

The anger in his blood was too strong. He didn't address it, and it cost him.

I have given you advanced spiritual knowledge.
Ancestral curses are transfered through the bloodline. You need to address it specifically.
Being born again only gives you the authority you need.

Lots of people are lawful captive. The spiritual realm is incredibly structured so much that any act of rebellion attracts judgement and it's bidding.

Imagine having ancestors that sacrificed or killed people to get the spiritual realms attention. Their will be transactions and demands, convenants which will span across generations.

Apart from the blood of the people that cries for judgement...the demand or covenant of the spirits are those things that manifest as curses, Fowler snares and they are legally binding(Lawful captive to terrible) it is terrible cos you might not even know or be aware of what was really happening. When people start to see patterns... hummm

Ancestral curses don't know if you're born again or not, I reiterate. I'm speaking from experience not just what I heard people say. Being born again is simple...forsaking your old past and following Christ wholeheartedly, acknowledging him as your Lord and Saviour...keeping all His commandments and living a sinless life. Now, tell me what more do you expect of a born again Christian? Despite being born again, you can still be haunted by generational curses and that doesn't mean you're a sinner still . You'd need to keep praying until the yoke is broken. Everyone born of man inherited one curse or the other cos our forefathers had committed all manner of atrocities which were unknown to many.
