Blog views BREAKING GENERATIONAL CURSES Generational influences have the ability to bring blessings or curses to your life. An understanding of this reality brings the power to change not only your life, but the lives of your family members as well. What are Generational Curses? First let us explore the meaning of some of these terms, so we can better understand what we are talking about. Here are the definitions from Dictionary.com. Generational: “the term of years, roughly 30 among human beings, accepted as the average period between the birth of parents and the birth of their offspring.” Ancestors: a person from whom one is descended; forebear;progenitor. Curse: the expression of a wish that misfortune, evil, doom, etc., befall a person, group, etc. A formulaor charm intended to cause such misfortune to another. A curse is basically ill intent upon another person, released through sin, ignorance or rebellion. So a generational curse is ill intent upon a family generation, or specific members of ancestry, that was released through the sin, ignorance or rebellion of previous ancestors. How does a generational curse come about? Look at what the Bible has to say about being cursed: Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the Lord. He is like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see any good come. He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness, in an uninhabited salt land.” (Jeremiah 17:5-6) What happens is that not only is the curses handed down, but demons move right in and take advantage of this often at a very young age in a person's life (often before birth). The person then goes throughout life struggling with the same bondages that their parents struggle with. The good news is that the Blood of Jesus is more powerful than any bondage that may have been handed down to you! You can be set free and completely released from the effects of any generational curses handed down to you! If you struggle with the same bondages as your parents, or see siblings with the same problems, then it is quite possible that you are suffering from the effects of a generational curse. Many times when you see three generations suffering from depression, it's almost always a generational curse at work and a spirit of heaviness took advantage of those cures in each of their lives through the defilement that was passed down. Evidences of Curses (Deuteronomy 28:15-68) contains fifty three verses listing generational curses. Here are just a few of the symptoms of curses listed there: Poverty, Child abuse, Adultery, Sexual abuse, Divorce, Domestic violence, Suicide, Child abuse, Alcoholism, ,Drug addiction, Perversion, Mental illness, Immorality, Destructive attitudes and behaviors. Each of these can be, but are not always, the result of a generational curse, and most have their root in idolatry. Many people, if not most, can identify some of these symptoms that have passed on from generation to generation. How about you? When you look at your family tree, do you see a pattern of any of these things? The Blood of Jesus Hebrews 9:22 tells us, “According to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no remission.” Here are two basic principles you need to know: 1) A generational curse comes through the blood line. 2) A generational curse can only be cancelled by blood. Breaking the Curse If you are living under a generational curse, it will be cancelled when you, through faith, appropriate the blood of Jesus for your deliverance. You can pray and make this your confession: Thank you, God, that generational curses are broken through faith in the blood of Jesus. I put my faith in the blood. I believe Jesus is my mercy seat and that His blood cancels the curse and breaks generational iniquities. I believe, by the blood of Jesus, that the generational curse from the law is cancelled and broken off my family now, in Jesus’ name. Thank you that sins, bondages and iniquities are cancelled and the curse is stopped by the blood of Jesus. Thank you, God, that the blood of Jesus on the mercy seat is a barrier and that a curse cannot pass the blood. Amen. Choose Life and Blessing We saw previously in (Exodus 20:5-6 )how God visits the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth of generations, but did you notice the rest of that verse? It says that the blessing goes, not only three or four generations, but up to a thousand generations – and the blessing is much stronger than the curse! How do we pass this blessing on to future generations? By loving God and keeping His commands and it starts by choosing life and blessing. God, in (Deuteronomy 30:15,19 ) says, “See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil…I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live.” Deliver Us From Evil.com Fair Use Act
