Looking at the meaning and relevance of curses in the world today.
A blessing..…to pronounce a wish of happiness onto someone, or to set apart for holy purposes, to praise or glorify God or the Lord Jesus Christ, to speak God’s goodness to one another.
Webster’s 1828 Dictionary

At this point, we will read the Scripture that is so commonly referenced on the subject of “can a Christian be cursed?.” First we will look at it out of context, as many Christians do. Then we will look at it in its context, exactly as it is written.
Galatians 3:13
In the last chapter, we showed that a Christian can be cursed. We showed that deliverance from curses requires faith. As with all the promises of God, each one must be received by faith.
How does satan use the bastard curse to keep God’s people from drawing near? How has he used it to frustrate the purposes of God to have close fellowship with His people? To answer these questions, let’s begin again in Deuteronomy 23.
Deuteronomy 23:2 and 3
Have you ever wondered why the house of Jesse, David’s father, was prophesied to be the line through which the kings of Israel would come, and yet Saul was chosen as the first king?
Isaiah 11:1-12
And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
So far in the previous chapters we have seen that the bastard curse was used by satan with major impact to try to thwart the purposes of God. The purpose of God is to restore fellowship and intimacy with His people. The Father longs for children to love and bring near to Him for all eternity. Part of a loving father’s joy is in training his children.
The bastard curse starts at the time of an illegitimate conception. It’s consequence is that for ten generations people are not able to come into the congregation of the Lord.
Sex outside of marriage, even if that couple subsequently gets married before the child is born, produces a bastard child. That child is the second generation of the next ten.
