A Christian Witch Story

Some people are living under a curse because of their own sins. 

Other people are living under a curse because of their ancestors' sins. 

Still others are living under a curse because someone has actually pronounced a curse on them. 

Back in the late seventies I was working in the advertising department of a store named Joske’s, and I used to get my hair done in their beauty salon because I got an employee discount.  One day I was having my hair done. I was witnessing to my hairdresser, and he was witnessing to me.  Only his religion was Wicca. He told me he was a witch, and he also mentioned that he could put a curse on me so that I would turn black and die.  He didn’t say he would--he just said he could. And since he was doing my hair, he had just laid hands on my head. 

Well, as soon as I got back to my office, I prayed.  I reminded God that the Bible says the curse causeless shall not come. I reminded the devil that I was a blood-bought child of God. I did NOT curse the witch who had said he was able to curse me.  Romans 12:14 says “Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.” I’m pretty sure I didn’t bless that hairdresser--this happened decades ago--but I am sure I didn’t curse him. And the following day, he simply didn’t show up for work.  His boss tried to call him, but didn’t answer his phone.  And in the following weeks he never did show up to collect his back pay.  As far as his boss knew, he had simply vanished. And I always wondered if he had tried to curse me, and it had boomeranged on him.
