Is it possible to be cursed, or for the devil to successfully destroy you from having a successful life?

Question

I feel that throughout my life I always kept bumping into the wrong people, and had the wrong things happen to me. I'm still here, at 25 and have accomplished a bit in my life, but I've had more setbacks than you can imagine.

Is it possible to be cursed, or what not?

I know that sounds far fetched but I've literally dealt with EVERYTHING under the sun from health problems, problems at school, work, friend/family problems, legal issues, I keep bumping into the kinds of people that are either jealous of me, have false motives, lead me in the wrong direction, try to screw me over, car problems.

I mean, okay maybe it's the norm nowadays for people to be Aholes and lost, but can certain individuals be picked out by the "Devil" and his minions, to be attacked more aggressively?

this sounds SO far fetched, and I'm sure it's just bad luck but, what if it were true?

THen again, it's probably not,

but I swear to you, I keep running into issues!

Dr. Phiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiil!

Being a success in life nowadays just seems so difficult. I feel like I almost EXPECT things to go wrong out there.

Helpppppppppp

Answer 1

A) God is real
B) Jesus was not only a real MAN who walked the face of the earth, but was God made into a man to come here to die for our sins
C) The devil is real too

JUST as "the Holy spirit" can fill us; so can a demonic spirit. Yes, the devil can in fact possess people, control us, trick us, and destroy us. Read in Genesis how Satan tricked Eve into tricking Adam. But don't miss the fact that he REALLY only helped them along in doing what they would otherwise have done. Read a horrorfying story of what the devil can do to us in Job!

But don't miss these key points:

The devil has no beef with you; i.e., he doesn't care about your miserable little life one way or the other. The ONLY reason he messes with ANY of us is because he hates God. Look closely at Job. Yes, he practically destroyed Job's life. Why? Because he was SURE that Job would turn on God. He got no particular delight in tormenting Job. He was salivating at the thought that Job would renounce his faith in God. So, IF the devil is after you it is EITHER because God is wooing you, and he doesn't want you to go over to what he considers "the dark side" (which in this case is goodness) OR you are already a believer and he wants to destroy your belief, your faith, etc.

So, start here:

Are you a believer? I don't mean that in a casual way! Sooooooo many people babble something to the effect of ... "Yes, I believe there is a higher power 'out there.'" But they have NO IDEA who the God is of the Bible. They have no personal relationship with God. They do not see their lives as being devoted to serving God. Etc. If you want a glimpse into this life, then read the wonderful book, The Purpose Driven Life. That book better than any other I know of (except the Bible itself), spells out what it is to be a Christian.

So, are you in a walk with Jesus? Do you serve Him? If not then ... I frankly don't think that the devil is your problem! Have you EVER thought that maybe just maybe GOD is trying to get your attention? God does that, you know? He will foil our efforts at every turn for a number of reasons; e.g., He reminds us that we are not in control and we tend to look for anwers outside ourselves when everything we try seems to fail.

But whether it's God (the force of good) or Satan (the force of evil) that is after you, your answer is the same. Pray! Read The Purpose Driven Life. Read the Bible. Ask God what's going on? Ask Him what he wants from you? Find an awesome Bible-believing church.

Lord bless.

Answer 2

Its hard to move forward I understand I had just about 8 bullies in grammer school and so i had no confidence when I graduated 8th grade and missed just about every opportunity in high school including finding out who i was and making solid relationships which carried over into college where im just now finding my bearings and my car gets stolen right after i get the oil change radiator fixed and air filter replaced
but i just look ahead and try to give myself more of what i want or set myself up so i can
but I think if your willing to move forward and not let it affect your future and count the good things that do happen youll start getting that confidence back fo example though it totally sucks that my car got stolen people are more willing to give me a ride and insist when i object, plus it was a piece of crap that my dad only paid 500 dollars for the insurance didnt give me all the money i spent on it back though i could use that money to pay for college and of course that car actually gave me more confidence because i could go where ever i wanted
and on running into bad people all the time you might have to set your standards higher or trust and double check where you can usually if its too good to be true its not

Life is a rollercoaster-It has its ups and its downs, and its upsidedowns. It's how we learn. We go through the toughest lessons that theis school (Earth/Life) can bring.
Life has problems, and we all could sit here thinking we are cursed by some unseen force, or we can own up to our own choices, behaviour, actions and reactions to the things we cannot control the outcomes too.
Curses are n the mind of the beholder.
You think you are cursed, then you will be-B.c you are the only one thinking the negative thought, and in essense cursing yourself by accumulating that energy in that though. If you don't believe in it, then you can think more positively, and take teh control and energy into your own hands.
I have people in my life who do me wrong, but I am not cursed. I just am going through it to learn, gain wisdom, and knowledge-So that I can mature-and If I mature faster then the people who hurt me, then so be it.

There are no negative entities around you unless you let them be, which is by you giving them permission-Even if you did pick up a lost entity-They couldn't manipulate your friends, family, and car-It would only be abl eto drain you of energy and a simple word like "Get out in teh name of God" would suffice.

However, you aren't either of those things-You are just going through life..and trust me there's people ten times worse off-Hellen Keller was, the Author of "A child called It" was, etc etc...but these people came out wise and knowing beyond their years and lifetimes. The bad can turn into good, if we learn to make our weaknesses our strengths.

Study some Zen, Taoism, or Stoic to get the idea.


Read this story :


This farmer had only one horse, and one day the horse ran away. The neighbors came to condole over his terrible loss. The farmer said, "What makes you think it is so terrible?"

A month later, the horse came home--this time bringing with her two beautiful wild horses. The neighbors became excited at the farmer's good fortune. Such lovely strong horses! The farmer said, "What makes you think this is good fortune?"

The farmer's son was thrown from one of the wild horses and broke his leg. All the neighbors were very distressed. Such bad luck! The farmer said, "What makes you think it is bad?"

A war came, and every able-bodied man was conscripted and sent into battle. Only the farmer's son, because he had a broken leg, remained. The neighbors congratulated the farmer. "What makes you think this is good?" said the farmer.

Answer 4

It sounds like you have been dealt a tough hand. I can relate, as I too have had to handle quite more than a few major life struggles.

It is not bad luck, or a curse. It is merely your life.

I will pray for you. Please make the most of what you have, and focus on the good. Write down three things that you are grateful for... Do this every night before bed. No, this will not change your circumstances, but it will help you to live the life you have to its fullest.

God bless!

Answer 5

Life sucks mate.

Are you a pygmy in the congo as well???

What doesn't kill you will make you stronger, as long as you learn. If you need magic to get through the day, fine i can tell you that the Devil has no power over you and your tribulations are the lessons of God. But personally, i'd much rather you find yourself a nobility of purpose and a goal all by yourself and use your experiences to affect change in yourself and others. Either way though, good luck :)

Answer 6

I think that will be interesting....... Opposite poles attracts each other.... If they really love, these things doesn't matter at all... They can live a happy life.. She can learn some qualities from him and he can learn some qualities from her... If both are very sensitive, life will be a problem and if both are very realistic life wont have any fun, so a super blend of both will work well..... I think she is the best pair of that guy and he is the best pair of her... Have a great day sweet friend :-)

Answer 7

It sounds like you have had a tough time of it. Have you taken these problems to God and asked for guidance? Do you know Jesus as your Saviour? It sounds like you believe in the devil, so I am assuming you also believe in God. We all go through trial and tribulations in this lifetime, I know I have for sure. Having a relationship with God has helped me through the rough times. There have been times I have actually given a problem to God and told Him that I don't know what to do and will trust Him to guide me. Of couse this isn't a cure all and I still face many trials in my daily life. It just helps that I know I have a Heavenly Father who loves me and is always there, just a prayer away.

Answer 8

Everyone in life suffers. You can not be cursed by the devil. The Lord is always with you. You may not have the best life in the world, but in the next, it will be so great that it will be beyond words. People think that suffering is evil, even though it's a good thing (I hate suffering myself). We learn from suffering. You can pray to God at night and tell Him this. He will always be at your side, so don't give up! You can do it! The Lord believes in you!

Answer 9

Curses are real. It is in the bible. When you are waylaid and set back time and time again. Its hard to keep moving forward. The devil enjoys nothing greater than to see us fail. Sometimes when we are so set upon we just want to say the hell with it and give up. I say to you. Keep your faith. It will sub stain you when things go wrong. Its not bad luck, Its just in the form of evil. Once cursed its hard to get it removed. You have to send it back to where it came from. Or to whom uttered it. That can be near next to impossible. Just keep the faith and move forward.

Answer 10

I am 17 years old and I too have ummm trouble with myself, well atlest I tried not to blame on God or devil. LOL. But if indeed devil is sorta pulling my legs, I would say he still hadn't bested me, because I still have a whole life ahead and I will try my best to be a good person.
