The Curse Transformed Into a Blessing – Cheriann Riley
total word count: 410
Cheriann Riley is back with another encouraging look at life as a child of God.
For the longest time, decades literally, the same curse was spoken over me, and by many types of authority figures and leadership people.
Very simply put, they told me that I didn’t fit.
You don’t fit, you’re not what we’re looking for, you really need to change this about you, this part of you is bad or evil, you don’t have any leadership qualities, you’re lazy, you’re ugly, these quirks in your personality disgust us, you really just need to change this about who you are, you really need to change this about your appearance, you really need to change this about what you believe, sorry, but you’re a woman, and the list went on and on. All the reasons why I didn’t fit the cookie cutter they thought I should.
But all along, at the same time, Dad was in each of those situations and he was telling me, but I made you to NOT fit on purpose. I made you to misfit. I’ve created you for something bigger than man and their cookie cutter limited imaginations. And one day, you will see about you what I see about you, you’ll see who you REALLY are, and you will be GLAD that you do not fit. You will rejoice that you misfit.
At the time, I didn’t hear anything but the curse. But as I have spent time with Dad, he showed me where he was in EACH situation and showed me where he was turning every curse into a literal blessing for me.
He didn’t give me a blessing instead of, he TRANSFORMED the curse itself into a blessing. The enemy was trying to attack me, Dad transformed it into some of the most powerful prophetic words I have ever received.
Now I understand when I start to get a lot of similar attacks or curses, I start to look for the blessing in it Dad has for me. When the enemy tells me repeatedly that I can’t, Dad is there telling me together, we CAN. The enemy is merely pointing to my next upgrade from Dad. Cause he cannot help but do so.
So what have been some of the greatest curses and words spoken against you? Maybe it is time to have a few convos with Dad and hear the blessing he has for you over you and your life.
