Transcribed by Jeff Fenske from The Trials of Ted Haggard, HBO 2009
“I’d still rather be the way I am now, though,
and broke,
and a man of disrepute,
than the way I was,
and have that horrific internal struggle
that I had.”
– Ted Haggard

Dennis Cramer, author of Breaking Christian Curses, said this about about the current James-3 cursing epidemic:
I’ve learned from experience that most Christians curse for the purpose of retaliation and vindication, because they’re proud, arrogant. They’ve known some measure of success, and they may even be skilled in the things of God.
In fact, that’s why sometimes Christian leaders are even more vulnerable to being able to launch curses—because they’ve been entrusted with spiritual skills, you see. And if we don’t use those spiritual skills in a constructive manner, if we use them in a destructive manner, like the disciples tried to, then, of course, we as leaders are at a greater risk.
So I have found that most Christians, based on a self righteous mentality, a proud spirit, and unbrokenness in their lives, believe that they’re so important to God that they can retaliate. And they use those spiritual weapons that were supposed to be used on the Devil against other Christians.
………………
The host asked:
What was your response to these people, the people that placed this curse over you? … What’s the correct response?
Dennis Cramer answered:
What my response was and the correct response weren’t the same, at first.
I did everything wrong. I was bitter; I was angry; I was frustrated; I was upset; I was hurt; I lashed back; I broke every rule in the Book.
Was I the victim, absolutely? But was I responsible for my sinful behavior, absolutely. I was wrong. I made every mistake possible. But eventually, God said, now, the real key to your release is to forgive them. And that’s what really did more for me than anything else—more than rebuking, and using the name of Jesus, and quoting scriptures, and having other people pray with me.
As I forgave, and as I loved—and listen to me: as I began to pray for them—man, I was completely freed!
That was the biggest weapon of my warfare. I began to pray for and bless those that cursed me. And that, more than anything else, set me free.
