Sign Up for Prayer: https://orbisprayer.org/
Donate: https://subsplash.com/orbisministries/give
In this episode of God is Not a Theory with Ken Fish, Ken and Grant Pemberton tackle a topic that has deeply influenced modern charismatic and prophetic circles: Word Curses. They unpack the history, theology, and potential misuse of this concept, exploring its roots in the Word of Faith movement and its connections to Pentecostal theology, new thought philosophy, and biblical interpretation. The discussion highlights the power of words, faith, confession, and the misconceptions that can arise when people fear that simply speaking a negative statement could alter reality.
This episode challenges listeners to examine how faith, healing, and spoken words work in a biblical framework while dispelling fear-based teachings that can create anxiety rather than confidence in God’s sovereignty.
Key Topics Discussed:
The origins of Word Curses in the Word of Faith movement.
The theological nuances of spoken words and their spiritual impact.
Kenneth Hagin, John Wimber, and the Pentecostal influence on faith and confession.
The dangers of fear-based theology in healing and prayer.
The balance between faith, wisdom, and God's sovereignty.
