This question is a valid one. Bad luck falls under the category of  fears, addictions, obsessions and all manner of angst. Let’s look at this from two perspectives. For the person who does not have Jesus as his Lord and Savior, I do not see hope for him, not real hope. There are palliative measures, such as psychology  but I don’t think any of them work. There is no true power. They are impotent such as if one wanted to use a sugar pill instead of  a potent drug. If you don’t have Jesus as your Lord and Savior, I can’t help you. If you do, I can.

Let’s talk about this. Take a person who feels bad luck follows him everywhere. Is there such a thing as bad luck? Yes. Can it be overcome and turned into good luck? YES, a resounding yes. I will tell you how. First of all, one must study the Bible. One must know what one has been given by the New Birth. One has been given rights and privileges. It is as if one has been given a whole new set of super powers but one must USE them. If not,they stay dormant. If one has a million dollars in the bank, but doesn’t use it, one would live in poverty. One must go to the bank and withdraw it. Until that time, one will be poor. That is the point. The person who does not know how to access his new rights and privileges will be as poor as the millionaire with his money locked in the bank.

Let’s see what he can do? First of all, he must find a good Bible teacher. The teacher cannot be fluff like Joel Osteen or Joyce Meier. The teacher cannot be depressed like Charles Stanley. I am just being honest here because I have never seen anyone get better with these teachers. I think the first two are false teachers  but that is for another day. So, one must find a teacher who has sound Biblical doctrine. Three of these are Arnold Fructenbaum, Les Fedlick and Keneth E. Hagin. Each has his own style. I listened to each in the order I  listed them. I would never have liked Kenneth E Hagin when I first found Jesus. He was too hick for me. I am just being honest. I needed an intellectual teacher like Arnold. Arnold is a true scholar. He has a Masters Degree in Hebrew and Greek. Arnold is a very clear teacher. He shows the derivation of words. He shows the unity of the Bible. He is very interesting and funny. I have listened to most of his teachings. He is a Rolls Royce.

Les Feldick is very interesting and one can study the whole Bible from Genesis to Revelation with him. He is very clear and very like Arnold but with a different style.

Kenneth E Hagin has the most heart of any person I have ever known. I don’t know him, per se, but he has changed my life more than any single person. If I have any good part of me that shines forth, I owe it to him, in terms of  owing a human being.

Beware of teachers who are not sound in Bible doctrine or you could go far astray. That has happened to two people I know. It is very sad but there is nothing one can do. They think they have “better” teachings than the Bible. They think they have more esoteric understanding. They think they are way ahead of simple people who follow the Bible, only. In reality, they are deceived. They may not be saved, even.

After one finds a good Bible teacher, one must study spiritual warfare. There is a spirit world of both dark and light. The dark spirit world has rules under which it operates. If one does not know the rules, one will be controlled by the dark forces. One may have great faith in Jesus but this will not help. One needs actual spiritual weapons. Think of an actual war, one may have faith  but that will not help one win. One must take up arms. There are very specific arms one must take up. That will be the subject I will discuss next.

How does one fight the devil, specifically? The answer is that one must know one’s position in Christ. If I was the president, I would have powers based on my position. I would be the Commander in Chief. I could write executive orders. I could do what the law allowed me to do. The very same thing exists for those who are God’s children as a direct result of the New Birth. For people who are not Born Again, this does not apply. They are not God’s children. I know this sounds harsh to say but the Bible tells it like it is. I am just teaching the Bible, not giving my own opinion.

Hence, if a person is Born Again, that person has the Holy Spirit inside of him. He has God, Himself, inside of him. THIS is what confers the weapons with which to fight. It is not his own power. That is impotent. It is his position in Christ.

Kenneth Hagin has a CD series on our position in Christ. I will try to recap what he says to the best of my ability. I have studied this subject from other teachers and Hagin is very much superior to any teacher, in my opinion. First of all, one potent weapon is the name of Jesus. Any evil force must flee if we tell it to do so, in the name of Jesus. It may come back. The Bible says that it may come back stronger. This can be a problem for those who cast out demons but don’t know how to keep them out.

One keeps out the demons by moving one’s mind from the carnal world to the spiritual world. One does this by immersing oneself in the Bible and by BELIEVING what it says. There are many cases where someone cast out demons but did not sweep their house clean i.e make oneself have as sold out a life as possible to God. In these cases, the demons can come back much stronger. So, after one casts out the demons, one must clean up one’s life so the demons don’t have openings to come in, again. Let me do a brief review, one casts out demons with the name of Jesus or by the blood of Jesus. They have to leave. That is a spiritual law.

So, lets identify demons. Anything that hurts us is from the dark side. This would be low self esteem, over eating, over drinking, drugs, porn, hatred, jealousy, bitterness, envy, ego in all it’s forms and anything else that hurts one. For some people, fear will be their problem. For some people, they may feel as if they are cursed with bad luck in that nothing ever works out. Remember, curses are from the dark side. One has power over the dark side. That is the point of this article and I will elaborate.

To recap, if one feels cursed, one must identify the specific curses. For example, if one cannot make enough money. One must say out loud” I cast off the curse of poverty in the name of Jesus”  The curse will have to leave! At that point, one must act as if it already left because it did, in the spiritual realm. We can command the forces of darkness to do our bidding. This power is from our position as God’s children. So, one has cast out the curse. One must force oneself to change the inroads of thinking in which one has stayed for many years. One may feel as if one is a failure. Those grooves of thinking are programmed into the brain as one would program a computer. The only thing that will change the program is the Word of God. One must combat the old thoughts with the Scripture. One should use Scripture that pertains to one’s situation, specifically.

Let me see if I can use a practical example. If one feels as if one has bad luck, as if everything is blocked, jobs, relationships etc, what should be do? He should cast out any forces that are blocking him. Then, he needs to find Scriptures for success. There are many Scriptures for success. I will look up some and add them as a footnote. The person needs to program his mind with the Scriptures because his thinking has been in error for a long time, most likely. This is called a strong hold. A strong hold is a long held belief that is against the Word of God. It is against the Word of God that  a child of God is cursed. It is a lie. Satan will try to hurt one if one follows God. However, Satan can be cast off as a president would cast off a sniper. The sniper cannot get access to the president if the president protects himself with what he has at his disposal. It is the same for the child of God, exactly the same!

I found a great little page with Scriptures for Success. There are Scriptures for any problem because the Bible is our guide to all problems in life.
