When God's people turn their backs on God the people of God are subjecting themselves. This is where the law comes into play in our lives. Basically we curse ourselves and subject ourselves to the woes of this carnal world.
The law, the battles and the struggles of Adam= 'a red earth human' and Eve= 'life, the spirit within human that is there to show the human where the breath of life is and teach the human how to breath' are all written into the Old Testament. These characters/hosts/names the principalities and powers of authority are written in the Old and New Testament are the authorities/powers/principalities of the world and of the heavenly kingdom in us (Luke 17:21).
If we look into (examine ourselves) the subjection that we have brought upon ourselves while living to our carnal flesh one could consider these a curse.
Romans 13- Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
