Many people think of boot camp as a place you train for combat. Any veteran will tell you that basic training is about three things:
Knowing what weapons are available
Learning how to use those weapons
Receiving orders and following them
Believer’s Boot Camp series is a collection of books which teach us how to hear more clearly from God with the goal to ready ourselves for a face-to-face meeting with our Lord, Jesus. The series reveals the “weapons and tools” God has given us and how to use them, so we can bring God’s kingdom to Earth. Each book in the series focuses on a single topic to clearly define one tool or weapon from our Heavenly Father.
The series uses the Word of God to reveal all that He has given us through Jesus. The Bible is our instruction manual and the Holy Spirit is our guide to understanding it.
Why Doesn't God Speak to Me?
Believers’ Boot Camp, Volume 1
Eager hearts cry out, hoping for a single word to confirm that He hears us. Yet, many times the only sound is silence. Over the years I have heard several reasons why God speaks to some and not to others. One night, as I tossed and turned, I brought each of these reasons before the Lord, stating why each of them did not line up with who I thought He was.
Words rose from my soul, pleading for Him to reveal why He has remained silent when a single word from Him would mean so much to so many. For the next few hours, God used things I learned about years ago and things I had just discovered to show why He talks to some and why He doesn’t, and in demonstrative ways.
In His grace, He also showed me how people could hear more from Him. Basic instructions on how to hear more from God and how to be led by Him are included in this book. Thank you for taking time to consider the answers I received and share with you now.
There is untapped power that is easy for every Christian to access in the form of authority. The keys to this authority will unlock weapons we can use to free ourselves from the attacks of the enemy. We must be intimately aware of the bounds and limitations of our weapon if they are to be used effectively.

Destroying Curses in the Courts of Heaven
Believers’ Boot Camp, Volume 3
Our rights to appear in the Courts of Heaven have been greatly undervalued. The missing key to our authority is here. Jesus has provided the access and the Bible shows us the court procedures. When we learn to operate in our rightful place as children of the Most High, the enemy will be defeated and we will see the victory we have prayed for.
The death of Jesus freed us from the curse of the law. However, we must declare this freedom just as we must make a declaration for our salvation.
Can curses be passed to our children?
What are signs of a curse?
How do you get rid of one?
Every answer is backed by scripture. Come and find out how easy it is to be free!
Roadmap to Heaven
Believers’ Boot Camp, Volume 4
As I meditated and sought the Lord, a vision overcame me. A “Roadmap to Heaven” was deposited into my soul. We are entering a season of unparalleled access to Heaven. Jesus is calling all who are His to visit with Him in the Secret Place of the Most High.
What is the Secret Place?
How do we enter?
What will we find there?
The Bible holds the answers, the mystery has been revealed. As you use the map given in this book to journey to the Secret Place, discover your destiny and find the gifts the Holy Spirit will bring along the way.
Through thousands of prayer sessions with hundreds of people, a pattern has emerged: Often people find relief from attacks and many receive healing, but the attack comes back every now and then. This can be a physical healing that relapses, an attack on our minds, or emotions, or an addictive habit. It seems like we have dealt with a demon and it slides out of view only to put on a new mask, using a slightly different approach to interfere with their life again! Through additional prayer sessions, we have found that there are many ways a demon can “hide” and maintain its place through internal or emotional sins.
And the Lord said to Moses, “Write these words, for after the purpose and character of these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.” (Exodus 34: 27 AMPC)
According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not. (Haggai 2:5 KJV)
The original covenant with Israel was based on the word spoken by the Lord and the action of writing it down by Moses. The word “testament” actually means covenant, which is an agreement, a binding promise. The Old Testament was the original agreement God had with Israel. The New Testament is the new covenant we have through Jesus.
God sent a prophecy in 2021 warning to His church about a coming correction. He said a sign would come true the next month and it did! This prophecy centered on Saint Francis of Assisi. The Lord pointed out the significance of that feast falling on the second day of trumpets, which we will discover as we look at what this prophecy proclaimed.
Being a Christian is different than being part of the nation of Israel.
For you are a holy and set-apart people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a special people to Himself out of all the peoples on the face of the Earth. (Deuteronomy 7:6 AMPC)
For I am the Lord, I do not change; that is why you, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed. (Malachi 3:6 AMPC)
Every Scripture is God-breathed (given by His inspiration) and profitable for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience, [and] for training in righteousness (in holy living, in conformity to God’s will in thought, purpose, and action), So that the man of God may be complete and proficient, well fitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17 AMPC)
When God brought His people to Israel, He told them what He expected of them:
Beware lest you become corrupt by making for yourselves [to worship] a graven image in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female, The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, or of any winged fowl that flies in the air, The likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, or of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth. And beware lest you lift up your eyes to the heavens, and when you see the sun, moon, and stars, even all the host of the heavens, you be drawn away and worship them and serve them, things which the Lord your God has allotted to all nations under the whole heaven. (Deuteronomy 14:16-19 AMPC)

Roadmap to Heaven
Believers’ Boot Camp, Volume 4
As I meditated and sought the Lord, a vision overcame me. A “Roadmap to Heaven” was deposited into my soul. We are entering a season of unparalleled access to Heaven. Jesus is calling all who are His to visit with Him in the Secret Place of the Most High.
What is the Secret Place?
How do we enter?
What will we find there?
The Bible holds the answers, the mystery has been revealed. As you use the map given in this book to journey to the Secret Place, discover your destiny and find the gifts the Holy Spirit will bring along the way.
I thought the two basic ways we discern good and evil was all there was to ‘discerning of spirits.’ I assumed that when the Holy Spirit had something important to share with me, He would show up and reveal it in a unique way. Just as there is strong meat when learning about God's ways, there are deeper levels to the gift of discernment.
Since the beginning of the year, the Holy Spirit has begun revealing when everyday objects like paintings or knick-knacks are tainted by another spirit. I didn’t even know that objects in my small town in America could be tainted! While we have heard about defiled or cursed things in the Old Testament, the enemy hasn’t stopped using this tactic just because we are more civilized. One story comes to mind:
Jesus sent a word, not just a casual teaching, an actual, “Thus sayeth the Lord,” on April 22, 2024. It announced the season we are in summing it all up with this final line:
Most of My Churches have gone astray. When you see the destroyer at your gate, Return to Me, says the Lord your God. Return to My ways and be removed from my wrath.
For the full message including some specific ways of how the body has gone astray, please see the video: “Passover Sabbath 2024 - The Coming Storm”.
Do not admit a charge against an elder except on the evidence of two or three witnesses. As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all, so that the rest may stand in fear. (1 Timothy 5:19-20 ESV)
Those called to lead the Body of Christ should be ready to turn from sin. If they do not, the consequences should be severe. When they see something in the Word of God, they should be willing to do it. If a person has taught others or been part of church leadership, we need to look to the Bible to see how and why a baptism of repentance should take place.
God brought us together to begin the baptism of repentance. Once you receive a baptism of repentance, it is the beginning of a journey with God. The act of baptism is a solemn pledge to God in the sight of others that you are willing to turn from sin.
But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. (1 Corinthians 6:17-20 ESV)
It was a custom in Israel to be baptized by being fully submerged under the water, as a sign of repentance: It was a physical demonstration stating that you were turning from sin.
The word for baptism in the Greek language is baptizma. The word literally means “to immerse.” You do this by being completely submerged under the water symbolizing the washing away all uncleanness/sin. It is a total immersion, never partial. John the Baptist appeared and was baptizing people in water for repentance. This is only part of what a Christian baptism is about. Before we are baptized, we must have faith.
To remove attacks upon our health, mind, and finances, we must first know why attacks can come upon us. Not all health and financial issues are attacks, but many are. Some attacks are due to sin.
And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither has this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. (John: 9:1-3 AKJV)
Every year, Israel has a week-long celebration called Pesach or as most of us know it: Passover. Israel is commanded to observe this holiday for all time.
And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you. And you shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall you observe this day in your generations by an ordinance forever. In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even. (Exodus 12:16-18 AKJV)
The miraculous sign of 11:11 that so many are receiving is a message from our Lord about the Two Witnesses. To understand this message, we must first understand what the Bible says about the Two Witnesses, beginning with the Witness of the Coming of Jesus:
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes. (Malachi 4:5 AMPC)
Before Jesus made His official debut, God sent a “Witness” to prepare the world. The Israelites were expecting Elijah to come from Heaven and prepare the way. The Encyclopedia Britannica speaks about how Israel looks at this event:
“But a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such as these to worship Him. God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.” (John 4:23-24 AKJV)
Jesus told a Samaritan woman that we must worship God in spirit and in truth. As simple as this may sound, many Christians struggle to feel connected to God, even during worship. We should not expect to have the connection confirmed by:
seeing a vision
feeling a sensation
hearing a voice
Worshiping God should not be about what we receive, otherwise, it isn’t true worship. We would be performing a service to obtain an outcome. When we worship God, our focus should be on Him: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. If He chooses to manifest Himself in a particular way, then we receive that with joy, however, we worship regardless of any manifestation.
Freedom from attacks upon our health, emotions, or finances can come off in layers: it is often like peeling an onion. At other times, the process to receive freedom may seem like we are wading upstream. We try to find out what is coming against us, what is hindering us, or what is the cause of an issue, but over and over again, we are constantly coming under attack. It feels like nothing seems to work; if it does, it doesn’t work for long. Instead of walking to freedom, it feels like an uphill slog through a foot of snow.
Through the core classes (101-401) at the free online school, many of God’s children have come to understand that our actions can open doors to the enemy’s attacks. There are far too many ways that the enemy moves into our lives to list them all. If it isn’t linked to sin, Jesus is our healer, provider, and protector for the glory of God. Suffice it to say, if there is a hindrance in our life preventing us from moving closer to God or doing His work, the enemy may be involved. Scripture shows us how to remove the enemy.
Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that you may be healed.( James 5:14-16 AMPC)
But you shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come on you: and you shall be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and to the uttermost part of the Earth. (Acts 1:8 AKJV)
Right before our Lord ascended into Heaven, He promised His disciples that they would receive the Holy Spirit to empower them. Later in Acts, Paul demonstrated that the Holy Spirit is available to every believer who will devote their life to Jesus as the Lord, Owner, and Master.
There are several names that refer to God, in the Old Testament, that apply to the role of the Holy Spirit. Seeing where these names appear will help us to understand the Holy Spirit better.
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17 ESV)
Reading the Bible is the best way to learn about God. The word “testament” means covenant or agreement. The Old Testament is centered around God's original agreement with the Israelites. Under our New Covenant, we no longer have to receive circumcision or hold ceremonies on certain days, but God is always the same: What He expected from His people in the Old Testament is still what He wants His children to do who come to Him through Jesus. For this reason, the Old Testament is a good place to learn about God.
There are names the Hebrews use in connection with God which describe each of His attributes. When God did something miraculous, His people would associate it with His name. We can apply these names to each of the members of the Trinity. Because God is triune, but all three are one, if we address prayers to any one of the three, God gives us grace and He will receive them. However, it is great to get to know the various aspects of God so we can be more specific.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. (John 1:1-3 AKJV)
Certain names of God apply directly to the Son of God. Jesus is God, and has been with God from the beginning. Several names of God refer to Jesus.
ADONAI
After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I Am your shield, and your exceeding great reward. And Abram said, LORD God, what will you give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus? (Genesis 15:1-2 AKJV)
When I “pray” to God, rarely do I make a formal petition. Most often when I pray, I simply speak to God in a respectful manner by acknowledging who He is. If there isn’t an actual time of thanksgiving and praise an attitude of gratitude is usually present.
Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. (1 Thessalonians 5:17-18 AKJV)
Prayer is pausing throughout the day and turning our minds toward God to say “thank You.” This is how we fulfill the instructions of the Apostle Paul because we have a wonderful relationship with God through Jesus.
For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” (Romans 8:15 ESV)
The last month had been a challenging one. During prayer, it seemed I had to fight to focus on the Lord. There was so much going on, so many world-changing events happening so soon, it was hard to still my thoughts. Every small open door seemed to bring attack after attack. I’d close one and have a few days of peace, only to have something else hit me.
When my husband suggested going hunting at the cabin, I thought I’d have extra prayer time to reconnect with the Lord while he went deer hunting. The remote location didn’t help to still my thoughts; I still struggled to see the Lord clearly.
A gentle nudge from the Holy Spirit led me to pray in the heavenly language in between singing praises and silent meditation. I did this for two days with no appreciable results. Then, on the third day after I prayed in the heavenly language, I found myself dancing with the Lord in the Secret Place.
VIDEO: God's Way Prophecy (Waves Over Barriers in San Francisco)
It was because you, the Levites, did not bring it up the first time that the Lord our God broke out in anger against us. We did not inquire of him about how to do it in the prescribed way. (1 Chronicles 15:13 AMPC)
Israel’s desire was to have the Ark of the Covenant in Jerusalem. However, when they went to retrieve it, they placed it on a cart instead of having the Levites carry it on poles. They didn’t worship Him in the way He had shown them and because of that, one man died as the Lord “broke out” against them. God is getting ready to "break out" once more.
The Lord sent a dream showing the coastline of San Francisco. As I hovered over the waters waves began crashing over the land. Thus saith the Lord:
“You need to turn your back on churches under the influence of Jezebel.”
“The waves south of San Francisco will break over the barriers in August, 2020.”
There will be little loss of life, for this is a warning of what is to come.
The Throne of Grace is a wonderful place to be. The attacks of the enemy are lessoned so that we can grow and learn about God. As you begin to grow in the knowledge of the Courts you may begin to wonder:
Are there different levels at the Courts of Heaven?
What do we need to do to operate in the Courts with more authority?
Just like court systems across the world, your actions will carry more weight in the Courts in Heaven as you come into higher positions within the army of God. If you have been called to a specific office in the body of Christ, that will be the first thing that determines how much weight your actions carry. For example:
A doctor's testimony about a medical condition carries more weight.
A prophet is the mouthpiece of God and their words hold more weight than someone who isn’t.
There is great power in the words of anointed people. Think about what the Lord said to Jeremiah:
We know that God has instructed through the Holy Spirit that everything Agape Christian Fellowship provides is to be freely given, because this is His way. One of the hardest teachings we come across as we do the Courts of Heaven (CoH) Academy is the challenge to separate ourselves from a global church system where the ‘normal’ these days is to charge upfront for what belongs to and comes from God.
This includes:
Copyright worship music
Teachings and revelation, including seats in a conference, and classes
Prayer, counseling, and personal ministry
The reason why many find it difficult to accept this teaching is that this is opposite to the way most of the body of Christ has been operating. Charging for things in the church has been introduced and has increased greatly over the last 50 years. For most of us, it’s the only way we’ve seen the church operate. People have been so indoctrinated by a church culture, where you pay upfront for the things of God, that many just accept it as God’s way of doing things.
However, just because the majority do it a certain way doesn’t make it right. The only true measure of what is right is considering how it stands up against the word of God. Truth has never been about following the majority. In fact the Bible says:
Christians are those who are committed to Jesus as their Lord. God’s people are the nation of Israel, those who are Jewish by birth or marriage. God created a covenant, or “testament” with Israel which is the Old Testament. Christians have a New Covenant with God through Jesus. It may be labeled as “old”, but it is still relevant to our relationship with our Heavenly Father because God is always the same. Much of what Israel went through will apply to us.
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17 ESV)
We receive correction so that we stay on the right path with God. Looking at those who walked with God before Jesus will help us know what our Father expects of us. Traditions outlined in the Old Testament will still have meaning for Christians:
As Christians, we are called to repentance, which means to turn from sin. John the Baptist preached repentance and we are to see sin as something horrible that we need to turn from.
John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness (desert), preaching a baptism [obligating] repentance (a change of one’s mind for the better, heartily amending one’s ways, with abhorrence of his past sins) in order to obtain forgiveness of and release from sins. (Mark 1:4 AMPC)
Bear fruits that are deserving and consistent with [your] repentance [that is, conduct worthy of a heart changed, a heart abhorring sin]... (Luke 3:8 AMPC)
Creation reveals who our Creator is (Romans 1:20). Scientists have discovered that matter is organized and beautifully choreographed far past the atomic level. When we pass from this life to the next we won’t be set free to wander about, flying through the clouds doing whatever we please. This would be very disorganized and result in chaos. It is not God’s way. He is orderly. In the second verse of the bible, we begin learning about our Creator’s opinion considering organization.
And the Earth was without form and void… (Genesis 1:2 AKJV)
The Hebrew word translated “without form” is tohuw, which means formless, a place of chaos and confusion. The word “void” in Hebrew is bohuw and means an indistinguishable ruin. Jewish mothers often refer to a messy teenager’s room as a “Tohuw ‘ethbohuw,” meaning a disorderly, chaotic ruin. This state of the Earth referred to in Genesis was not acceptable to God who began establishing order from the chaos.
If you are unaware of how curses can affect Christians, please read the first book in this series which will help you understand curses from the New Testament scriptures.
A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD. (Deuteronomy 23:2 AKJV)
The Hebrew word mamzēr (mam-zare’) is translated “bastard” in the King James versions of the Bible, but is sometimes translated to mean “illegitimacy.” It not only means those who are born outside of wedlock or in incest, but the root of the word means to contemn (regard with contempt), to despise, or be ashamed of. Even if a pregnancy happens outside of marriage and the parents speak words of rejection, shame, or are regarded with contempt because of it, the same curse comes to that family line.
When a child is born outside of wedlock, a curse is passed down to the tenth generation. Ten generations means that it can be passed on from any one of our 1,024 ancestors. Since so many people can be involved in activating this curse, it may apply to most people.
There are two parts to remove a curse:
You must confess for yourself.
You must confess for your ancestors.
Confess means to see it the way the other person does, in this case, God. It is easy to confess for our ancestors. We know it is God’s will for sex and the product of sex to happen inside of a marriage, otherwise it is called fornication. We simply state the fact that what our ancestors did was wrong.
It can be much more challenging to confess for ourselves. To remove the curse of illegitimacy, you must know how you have responded to it. Actions you took in agreement with the curse must be confessed as well. There are two categories of this curse revealed by the Hebrew word mam-zare’ and the root “to contemn.”
Those born outside of wedlock or through incest
Those whose conception was greeted with shame, rejection, or brought condemnation
Born Outside Wedlock
“...You shall not enter into the congregation...” (Deuteronomy 23:2 AKJV)
The description of the curse’s consequences provides insight into some of its effects. If a child was born outside of marriage or through incest, it will cause feelings of being an outsider. To see if this applies to you, ask yourself:
How would you feel if you see a family gathered at a table, laughing and enjoying each other's company?
Would you feel comfortable joining the table? Or would this bring negative emotions to the surface like, “I wouldn’t fit in,” “I will disrupt the fun,” “They wouldn’t accept me,” or even, “I would bring the mood down”?
Imagine that you are in a party with many groups who are laughing and having a good time. What do you feel? How do you respond?
If you are not comfortable approaching a group, then this curse may be affecting you. Your feelings may indicate the presence of the enemy empowered by the curse of illegitimacy. Feeling like an outsider includes:
I’m different
I don’t fit in
They won’t like me
I won’t know what to say
These feelings are not a sin, however, submitting to them may reinforce the place the enemy has in your life through the curse. It can cause us to draw away from others and often causes a tendency to draw away from God as well. We may not want to fellowship with other believers which can open us to attacks from the enemy.
And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. (Hebrews 10:24-25 ESV)
A wolf will go after a lone sheep, not one in the herd. Satan will have an easier time pushing you into sin where he can attack you if you do not spend time with other believers.
There is a spiritual aspect to this curse. If you continually give into the feelings, you may have trouble entering into the presence of the Lord. Depending on the hold this curse has on you, it may not be all the time. Do you occasionally feel like God doesn’t really want to see you? That you are not a good enough child to be in His presence? Breaking this curse will remove this spiritual blockage!
Rejected in the Womb
What happened when we were in our mother’s womb, may affect us and even bring a curse upon us and future generations. If our conception happened in the sin of fornication (sex outside of marriage), that sin gave the words spoken a double curse. The symptoms of this type of curse are a bit broader. They can have the same effect as the outsider curse already mentioned and in addition, they may cause the following personality traits:
People pleaser or Knight in Shining Armor syndrome
Spirit of rejection
The safest place for a developing baby is inside its mother's womb. Although we may not remember it, if negative words were spoken over us while still developing in the womb, we have been wounded in our soul and may even be cursed.
People Pleaser/Knight in Shining Armor
Women suffer more from the “people pleaser” aspect of this curse while men react as “knights in shining armor.” Though, like most stereotypes, on occasion, these behaviors may apply to any gender. On the surface these traits seem to be good. What could be wrong with being helpful? There are three main sins these traits push us into:
Self-righteousness often because of a religious or leading to religious spirit influence.
Being more concerned about man than God.
Pushing us into the same sin as our ancestors.
When we feel the need to do something to earn our place with others, especially family members, this can push us toward self-righteousness; it is our actions that earn us our place. If this behavior is active in our secular lives, we will often have the same struggle spiritually. It will cause us to try to earn our righteousness with God through our actions instead of leaning on and resting in what Jesus did on the cross.
There are two main ways these manifests and affects our lives:
Secular
We rescue others or do what we think will please them, then respond negatively because their gratitude isn’t sufficient to heal the wound in our soul.
Being rescued by a knight is great, but eventually every “damsel” should grow to maturity and learn to depend on Jesus, our Savior.
The Curse: When we stop needing our knight, he may lash out and “pick on us” for other little things we are not doing.
We can spend so much time trying to please others that we neglect our relationship with God.
The Curse: We may be unwilling to distance ourselves from friends, pulling us into sinful situations and even following them into sin trying to please them.
We can over-perform at work or in our family. We may feel unheard and unfavored.
The Curse: We don’t receive recognition or promotion for what we do.
We can try to legitimize ourselves or receive acceptance through sinful actions.
The Curse: We may be tempted by fornication and unable to stop having sex outside of marriage.
Spiritual
If we don’t do enough work or when we make mistakes we feel like God doesn’t love us or that He is mad at us.
These actions can be motivated by a religious spirit or give a religious spirit a place.
We have seen Christians grow in deeper fellowship with God when this curse is removed. When a person becomes free, we have seen employers and families change their attitudes bringing love and favor into the lives of God’s children. It has changed my life as well.
My daughter was aggressively antagonistic with me. On a good day, I could say the sky is blue and she would say it was more of a pastel blue. On a bad day, she would take offense and be wounded by words said in love, without malice and not intended to harm her in any way. When I learned about the effects of words on those in the womb, I took action.
I confessed I was wrong in crying and saying I couldn’t go through with birthing another child when I found out I was pregnant with her, renouncing the words and covering them with the blood of Jesus.
This is a form of rejection and will cause a wound for the spirit of rejection to use.
I used my authority as my daughter's legal guardian and confessed for illegitimacy on both sides of the bloodline.
I plead the blood over these sins stating, “Cursed is He who hangs on the cross, Jesus paid for these sins when He was crucified.”
The effect was immediate. My husband was shocked when we stopped fighting every moment we are together. She actually asked for my advice, listened to it and said, “Thank you, you’ve really helped,” afterward. Don’t get me wrong. It isn't a bed of roses, unless you consider that roses have thorns. She is still a teenager and has her “moments,” but they are few and far between.
Abortion
Before I formed you in the belly I knew you; and before you came forth out of the womb I sanctified you… (Jeremiah 1:5 AKJV)
If God knew us before we were formed and sanctified us before we came into the world, this means He considers a baby as a person.
Now suppose two men are fighting, and in the process they accidentally strike a pregnant woman so she gives birth prematurely. If no further injury results, the man who struck the woman must pay the amount of compensation the woman’s husband demands and the judges approve. But if there is further injury, the punishment must match the injury: a life for a life… (Exodus 21:22-23 NLT)
If a miscarriage is caused, God considers a life has been taken. In God’s eyes, abortion is murder. This makes it the most extreme form of rejection of a child. If there is abortion in your family line, this sin will need to be added to the list so that the curse can be removed.
Removing the Curse
To come out of agreement with any curse you need to:
Confess the way you have felt
This legitimizes the soul
Confess any sin that came from the feelings
Forgive your parents if it was you they rejected or spoke over
Ask God to forgive them too
Use the Word of God to see it the way He does
Our birth was not an accident or mistake:
We were formed in our mother's womb for God’s purpose (Jeremiah 1:5)
God sees us as beautiful
I will praise you; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are your works… (Psalm 139:14 AKJV)
God loves us as a Father
Just as a father loves his children, So the LORD loves those who fear and worship Him [with awe-filled respect and deepest reverence]. (Psalm 103:13 AMP)
Cover any sins of your ancestors or your actions with the blood of Jesus
Reject any spirit you obeyed by acting upon the feelings
Ask the Lord to heal any soul wound and sever all soul ties to the womb and your parents
The final step was covered in the section, “Strongholds & Soul Wounds.” To receive the best results, let your prayer time be led by the Holy Spirit by stating any sins He brings to your memory. Here is an example of a type of prayer to remove the curse of illegitimacy where all sins apply. You should only pray what applies to you:
Heavenly Father,
I realize that my ancestors have sinned against you. They had sex outside of wedlock which resulted in a child. I know that fornication is a sin and it was wrong. Jesus, I know you hung on the cross so that sins of our ancestors, which become curses, could be paid for. I ask that you blot out the sin of fornication/abortion from my ancestors.
I forgive my mother and father for words of rejection they spoke over me while I was still in the womb (regarding any attempt to end my life). I renounce those words and ask that the blood of Jesus blot them out from all records in Heaven and Earth for I know that You created me and designed me for Your purpose.
In the past I have felt (rejected, different, a need to rescue/perform, etc...) and have responded to a spirit behind feelings, sometimes in sinful ways. Responding to these spirits has given the enemy a place in my life (confess any of the sins associated with this curse you are guilty of or any actions that the Holy Spirit brings to you). Jesus, I thank You for shedding your blood for these sins, and ask that you blot them out from all records in Heaven and Earth as well as the record of any actions that were in agreement with the enemy.
Jesus, I ask that You break all curses associated with the sins that have been blotted out. Remove the place the enemy was given in my life by these actions.
Father, I now realize that I was formed in my mother's womb for Your purpose, that I am fearfully and wonderfully made, and that You love Me as Your child (Jeremiah 1:5, Psalms 103:13 & 139:1).
Jesus, you are the healer of the brokenhearted. I ask that You remove any barbs, spears, or anything amiss in my soul. Heal any broken pieces of my soul, any soul wound and bring all pieces of my soul forward to this time.
I wish to be holy unto You as You are Holy, so with the sword of the spirit, I sever all ties to the womb and my parents. I ask that you strengthen the ties to You and You alone. In Your name, amen. This is a general prayer to remove the curse of illegitimacy. In some cases, there may be additional soul trauma that needs more prayer. Our prayer team will be happy to help you.

Many people think of boot camp as a place you train for combat. Any veteran will tell you that basic training is about three things:
Knowing what weapons are available
Learning how to use those weapons
Receiving orders and following them
Believer’s Boot Camp series is a collection of books that teach us how to hear more clearly from God with the goal to ready ourselves for a face-to-face meeting with our Lord, Jesus. The series reveals the “weapons and tools” God has given us and how to use them, so we can bring God’s kingdom to Earth. Each book in the series focuses on a single topic to clearly define one tool or weapon from our Heavenly Father.
The series uses the Word of God to reveal all that He has given us through Jesus. The Bible is our instruction manual and the Holy Spirit is our guide to understanding it.
Why Doesn't God Speak to Me?
Believers’ Boot Camp, Volume 1
Eager hearts cry out, hoping for a single word to confirm that He hears us. Yet, many times the only sound is silence. Over the years I have heard several reasons why God speaks to some and not to others. One night, as I tossed and turned, I brought each of these reasons before the Lord, stating why each of them did not line up with who I thought He was.
Words rose from my soul, pleading for Him to reveal why He has remained silent when a single word from Him would mean so much to so many. For the next few hours, God used things I learned about years ago and things I had just discovered to show why He talks to some and why He doesn’t, and in demonstrative ways.
In His grace, He also showed me how people could hear more from Him. Basic instructions on how to hear more from God and how to be led by Him are included in this book. Thank you for taking time to consider the answers I received and share with you now.
There is untapped power that is easy for every Christian to access in the form of authority. The keys to this authority will unlock weapons we can use to free ourselves from the attacks of the enemy. We must be intimately aware of the bounds and limitations of our weapons if they are to be used effectively.
Find out about your authority:
Why you need it.
Where it comes from.
What you can do with it.
How to get more.
Destroying Curses in the Courts of Heaven
Believers’ Boot Camp, Volume 3
Our rights to appear in the Courts of Heaven have been greatly undervalued. The missing key to our authority is here. Jesus has provided the access and the Bible shows us the court procedures. When we learn to operate in our rightful place as children of the Most High, the enemy will be defeated and we will see the victory we have prayed for.
The death of Jesus freed us from the curse of the law. However, we must declare this freedom just as we must make a declaration for our salvation.
Can curses be passed to our children?
What are signs of a curse?
How do you get rid of one?
Every answer is backed by scripture. Come and find out how easy it is to be free!
Roadmap to Heaven
Believers’ Boot Camp, Volume 4
As I meditated and sought the Lord, a vision overcame me. A “Roadmap to Heaven” was deposited into my soul. We are entering a season of unparalleled access to Heaven. Jesus is calling all who are His to visit with Him in the Secret Place of the Most High.
What is the Secret Place?
How do we enter?
What will we find there?
The Bible holds the answers, the mystery has been revealed. As you use the map given in this book to journey to the Secret Place, discover your destiny and find the gifts the Holy Spirit will bring along the way.
Eager hearts cry out, hoping for a single word to confirm that He hears us. Yet, many times the only sound is silence. Over the years I have heard several reasons why God speaks to some and not to others. One night, as I tossed and turned, I brought each of these reasons before the Lord, stating why each of them did not line up with who I thought He was.
