Ancestral curses and healing

Due to what we have been looking at over the last few days I am sure that there are some who would ask about the experiences of believers who have been healed as a direct result of an ancestral curse being broken in their lives.  In considering this we have to ask, 'Can experience over-rule the Word of God. Jesus says in John 10:35 'The scripture cannot be broken'. Isaiah 8:20 says, 'To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, [it is] because [there is] no light in them.' God's word can never bow to man's experience. Even the Apostle Peter said the following after the experience of the transfiguration: For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts. (2 Peter 1:16 - 19) We have a more sure word of prophecy! Even though Peter experienced the Lord Jesus transfigured in glory before him he said that the prophecy of scripture was more sure than his own  experience. We must not - cannot - veer away from God's word.
