Sid: My guest by way of telephone is red hot for the Messiah her name is Mary Jo Clouse and I’m speaking to her at her home at Lake Mary, Florida. And I have a copy of her most recently book called “Getting Free.” And she’s a very popular speaker for the Charisma Woman’s Conference every year as I explained on yesterday’s broadcast because she has been doing it for at least 7 years now they come back and they say “Boy the teaching that you gave made has made such a revolutionary change in my life.” So Mary Jo I’d like to start out with some definitions. Tell me how we can identify what the blessings are and how we can identify what the curses are especially the ones that passes on from generation to generation. But a lot of people don’t realize this but blessings pass on from generation also.
Mary Jo: Yes they do. Well first of all I want to say that a blessing has been exalted which means being lifted up, walking in divine health that it reaches about every area of your life that your life touches others that it influences them and makes their life better. Prosperity and that’s not just having a lot of money in your bank account but that’s prosperity of your spirit soul and body so that you are free from the judgmental critical spirit, your free of bitterness, your free of envy your free of strife and you’re just prospering in every area of your life your happy your having a good time you’re enjoying life, you’re walking in victory and you know that you have the favor of God in your life. But a curse is like you reach a certain pinnacle of success and then it’s like the rug is come out from under you and here you go again you’re on a roller coaster humiliated and there’s failure in your life and maybe you’re not even able to have children, there’s bareness in your life. You can have all kinds of barrenness in your life you can be barrenness as essentials and you also can be barren of the fact that you’re not able to love and give love. And I think that when you’re under a generational curse sometimes woman are frigid and they’re so needy that their marriages are not good because they’re trying to draw all of their life from their husband. And God says two whole people come together come together make a good marriage but two half people coming together do not make a whole you are two half people trying to find your identity in that person. And my identity is in Christ Jesus not in my husband not in someone else but it’s who Jesus Christ made me but it’s through Jesus Christ made from the very foundations of this earth. And He knew me even before I was formed in my mother’s womb and that I was fearfully and I was fearfully and uniquely made and I was made in His likeness and His image. And so that’s what I like to think that I’m under that blessing that I’m not divorced is not happening in my family and my children will not have to go through that pain that I went through of the divorce. Because see I think that a lot of the reason I went through the divorce was because I got involved in the occult, I was rebellious toward my parents because one of the things that will bring a curse on you is because dishonoring your parents. And I think that yesterday on the program I gave the scripture Exodus 20:12 and that’s the one for honoring your parents that I gave it as the one that says “The sins of the father would be the 4th generation and the blessings to the 1000’s.” And that scripture is actually Exodus verses 5 and 6 where God wants to bring the blessing to the 1000th generation. But most of us live under the curse because of something in our life that stops us from that breakthrough that God wants us to have with Him. Actually when I repented I repented of dishonoring my parents from the things I even thought of things that I had said to them that seemed real cool at the time you know when I was a teenager but I thought “Oh God I’m sorry.” And my parents were still alive at that time and I asked God to forgive me of every rebellious act that I’ve ever been involved with and even attitudes that I had had toward them. And it was real funny that I did that I went home to visit my parents in Arkansas and my little mom and dad were quite old at that time. And I they said “We want to apologize to you for the fact that we never had a car and we didn’t have the things that we have now and we couldn’t offer you those things and we see now that we messed up your life.” And I began to cry and I said “Mom you haven’t messed up my life you gave me love and you brought me up in a Christian home, you gave me the foundation that nobody else could give me. And I said “I love you and I’m really sorry for any rebellion or ever even leaving the church or anything that I was ever involved with that brought dishonor to you. And I really believe at that point that my health began to spring forth speedily because once that thing was broken like a heart problem after I repented the sins of my ancestors and I forgave my parents and forgave myself for being such a rebel. And I was really not that of a person we all like to think we’re not as bad as we really were but I mean I always made a good living for my children and took good care of them but I just didn’t…I didn’t want to stay in the church that my mom and dad was in because there was a lot of legalism in the church a lot of no’s and not a lot of do’s. So when my husband and I did start attending a church we attended an evangelical type church and I learned about the love of God and the acceptance of God. And so after I had repented to them I could even feel even more relief like more bondages coming off of me and I felt light hearted and good. And then another thing that will bring a curse on you is the elicit our natural sex up. Young people listen to me don’t get involved sexually with your boyfriend save yourself for marriage. That’s why God created the marriage bed and blessed the marriage bed and said to marry and multiply and He didn’t say to us to commit sex before marriage and to get into all of the things that get into venereal diseases and HIV and all of the other things that come from unnatural sex. Only natural sex is in the marriage bed so I would say to you I would plead with you please keep yourself pure and holy before God because God’s laws work. And Leviticus 20 verse 10 through 21 it talks about not have elicit or unnatural sex. And another area that we get into and bring a curse on our life is the injustice to the weak and helpless. The Bible tells us in Exodus to keep yourself far from a false matter, do not kill the innocent and the righteous for I will not justify the wicked. And one of the things that we are doing in America today and many other countries is we are aborting babies. That baby is not just a fetus that is a life and that is a life that God the Father that has permitted you to bring into the world and to bring it up in the nurture and the admonition of the Lord.
Sid: So when you have seen woman and men that were involved in an abortion repent have you seen actual physical healings occur?
Mary Jo: Yes I have a lot of them get free of scoliosis; a lot of them get free of female problems. I had one young girl that I remember from down in south Florida that had had 2 abortions and it was her boyfriend who had helped her have the abortion. She was full of guilt and fear and she’s having a lot of female problems she’s having just bleeding. She’s had fibroid tumors prayed for that conference then broke the curse off of her. Saw her the next year and she said that she was totally healed she had no physical problems and that she had met a nice Christian boy. She rededicated her life at that time at the conference she met a Christian boy and they were engaged and going to get married. The next year she came back to the conference and she was pregnant she was about 3 months pregnant she was so excited about what God had done in her life and say “Look at me, look at me I’m free I’m free, I’m free.” And so yes there’s freedom when you break that curse.
Sid: Now when woman are involved in abortion are many of them sometimes even their ancestors are they barren and when that curse is broken they can have children?
Mary Jo: Yes.
Sid: Tell me one specific person.
Mary Jo: This lady was probably in her late 30’s and never had any children. We broke that curse and she asked the Lord to forgive her for having committed abortion and she repented of the sin she recognized that that was where the problem came in barrenness. She repented of the sin and at that moment and at that…she actually walked out of the room when I had prayed for her and had to go to the ladies room and it was actually as if a DNC had actually been performed on her at that time. Within that 3 week period after that she was pregnant and 9 months later we were in that area again and was there when the baby was born.
Sid: What kind of curses are involved in people that are always behind the 8 ball when it comes to finances they’re always broke. I mean it seems as though …it’s almost like there’s a dark cloud is over them when it comes to finances.
Mary Jo: Well see a curse is when there is sufficient amount of money made and yet no matter how much money they make they never seem to make ends meet that’s the curse. Now there’s people that spend their money unwisely and throw their money away that’s not a curse that’s ignorance. But a curse is when God says “You will bring all of the tithe into the storehouse and prove Me with this Sid and see if I will not pour you out a blessing that you cannot contain. If you’re a tithe payer and you’re still not financially prosperous then I would say that you need to go back and ask yourself “Am I trusting in God or am I trusting in myself” because trusting in the arm of the flesh will bring a curse on you. And a lot of people are under a financial curse because their daddy was poor his…you know every ancestor they ever had was poor or it was just poor managers of their money and they never learned to believe that God wants to bless them and yet God wants to pour out a blessing a lot more than we want it. He is a God of blessing and not a God of cursing. And He said “If you will bring all of the tithe in the storehouse and He will even open all of the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing that you cannot contain.
Sid: Mary Jo I’m sorry were out of time.
