The Problem Of Bewitched Hands And Feet
Contributed by Daniel Olukoya on Jul 3, 2006 (message contributor)
Summary: Your hands are instruments of power-transfer and your feet are the instruments of dominion.
“Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight”.
This means that your hands are weapons and they can fight the war of your life. War can be raised against your hands. You might not know it but the enemy sees your hands as an instrument of war.
The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me”.
This means that the hand can be a subject of cursing, vexation, or of rebuke in order to ruin a person.
“And how shall they preach, except they be sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!”
This means that if someone with the gospel of peace enters into an arena, joy and peace enters into that arena. The opposite too holds true; that is to say that some feet are ugly.
I would like you to carefully read this message, as if you are studying a mathematical subject and pray the prayers with all the determination that you can gather. Many things are going to happen today, as far as you pray fervently. A man is a spirit living in a body and having a soul. If the spirit man of a person is called out of him or her that spirit will look exactly like the person, in form and shape but it will not have the human body. The spirit man will have hands, legs, everything that the human being has. Every organ in the body physically, has a spiritual representative.
Each organ that is in the body physically has a spiritual significance and symbol. For example, the head in the spirit is the symbol of your destiny. The legs are the symbol of movement and it means that if the legs are tied spiritually, it does not mean that the person will not move around but that person will not make any progress. If the hands of a person are tied spiritually, the person could be beating drums and fighting all about or cook, nothing good will come out of it. The hands in the spirit represent a person’s labour; or handiwork. Every other organ of the body has a representative in the spirit realm. When good people enter into the life of a person, good things happen. When wrong things enter into the life of a person, wrong things happen. When the wrong people get out of a person’s life, good things begin to happen. Many people do not know when the connection of some people to their life, is over; they stick to people that they should actually chase out of their lives, because their contribution to such a destiny is over. When God has already said they should go and you continue to let them stay, trouble starts.
Take these prayer points with all the seriousness that you can gather:
- Every evil foot that has entered into my life, jump out by fire, in the Name of Jesus.
- Every evil hand that is upon the affairs of my life, wither by fire, in the Name of Jesus.
One very good example is Joseph. Immediately he entered into the house of Portiphar, all that Portiphar did prospered. Everything that Joseph laid his hand upon to do, prospered, flourished and multiplied. I pray that God will send a ‘Joseph’ into your house and your business and career, in the Name of Jesus. The house of Portiphar prospered because Joseph an employee was there. If you employ the wrong person, somebody with a cursed or bewitched hand trouble will start. A couple prayed for about eighteen years, to have a child and then had one. They employed a house-help from the village and one day, she was playing with the baby; she threw him up in order to grasp him in mid-air but she had forgotten that there was a fan in the ceiling, which was rolling at top speed. Before she knew what was happening, the baby had dropped dead.
I pray and it is a serious prayer; that if there is any evil hand in your destiny now, by the power of the God of Elijah, it shall be cut off in the Name of Jesus.
Your hand is an instrument of power-transfer; that is why men of God lay hands on people. Your hand is a carrier of honour and can transfer blessings to anything you touch. Your hand is the key to your increase and prosperity and can be a symbol of victory in warfare. That is the mystery of Moses’ stay on the mountain and Aaron and Ur, had to uphold his hands, When ever they relented and his hand came down, the Israelites that were on the battle- field, began to lose but when his hand was up, they won the battle.
