Redeemed From The Curse

Kim was placed in foster care as a baby. When her first foster mother died, Kim was nine years old. She was placed into another foster home. The love and motherly attention she received from her first foster mother was no longer a part of her upbringing. Her new foster mother always belittled her. She would repeatedly tell Kim she was no good, and that she would never amount to anything. Kim excelled in sports and received good grades in school. Her foster mother would look at her report card and say, “They just gave you those grades to get rid of you.” Kim wondered why her foster mother disliked her. Kim tried to seek her foster mother’s approval, but to no avail. Kim decided she was going to college to make something out of her life, in spite of the word curses that had been repeatedly spoken to her. Kim knew she was not what her foster mother had said about her, and was determined to prove her wrong. 
The first man that told Kim he loved her, Kim believed him. Kim had never had anyone tell her they loved her before. However, Kim dropped out of college pregnant with this man’s child, who had now moved on to another victim.
Kim struggled to raise a child and work as a single mother. Kim eventually ended up on welfare. Her family increased from one child to two. Kim began to see her dreams diminished as her life took a downward spiral. The words spoken over her by her foster mother, “You will never amount to anything” was becoming a dreaded reality.
Kim received Jesus Christ as her Savior, and eventually by God’s grace came out of the pit she had dug for herself. Kim was able to get off of welfare. She went back to college and received her degree, and eventually a master’s degree. She was able to get a good job to support her family. However, there was always this haunting feeling that she couldn’t shake. That feeling she wasn’t good enough, or hadn’t accomplished anything in her life. She saw herself as her foster mother saw her, instead of how her Heavenly Father saw her. 
One day Kim read about word curses, and realized this is what her foster mother had spoken over her. She prayed, repented for believing a lie, and revoked those curses over her and her bloodline.
