Breaking the Cycle: Overcoming Generational Curses

Breaking the Cycle: Overcoming Generational Curses
Many people have questions concerning things that have occurred over the years whether in their own lives or in the life of a friend or a loved one. Most often, the answer has to do with sin. What is a generational curse? It is a pattern of spiritual judgment that occurs from generation to generation that has been put upon because of sin and has remained because of non-repentance. There have been several instances where the Gold Almighty gave revelation through His Word regarding curses. One mention in particular was with Noah and his family. The Lord considered him righteous and blessed him (Gen 9:25). However, the Lord cursed Canaan the grand nation of Noah because though Ham sinned, he had already been blessed so the curse skipped to the next generation. Another mention of curses indirectly was with King David whose household we as gentiles have been grafted. King David committed the covetous practice when taking Bathsheba the wife of Uriah to himself. That sin birthed another sin of murder when he set her husband up to die in the heat of war. The judgment that was set upon the household (2 Sam 12:10) where the Lord God Almighty declared that the sword would never depart from his house. Although the Lord pronounced judgment on the throne of David the Lord is not a respecter of persons. The son birthed of covetous practice was taken by the Lord and he died. Because of King David’s relationship with the Lord and his repentant heart after God, the Lord allowed him to live though deserving of death, reminding us of the Lord’s longsuffering and enduring mercy. Spiritually King David was delivered from the spirit of covetousness. Remember everything is spiritual. This is not a natural fight. We wrestle not against flesh and blood but against powers, principalities, rulers, spiritual wickedness in high places. Though King David was delivered, unfortunately, his children were subject to those same demonic forces and as it is written some did not take after their father to walk after God’s own heart. Yet this pattern of behavior and the need for deliverance started with the sin of covetousness, today, we see many patterns of generational curses within our own communities such as drug addiction, alcoholism, sexual assault and domestic abuse, and the list goes on. However, no matter the situation or circumstance, Jesus Christ is the answer. He died on the cross and rose for us to have access to deliverance and true healing and have life in Him more abundantly. We must surrender to Jesus completely with our whole heart to experience the overcoming power that Jesus laid down His life for us to receive. Consider repenting of your sins today and receive the redemption that the blood of Jesus Christ was shed for you to receive. We don’t have to be a slave to sin but we can be servants of righteousness. The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus. Whom the son sets free is truly free indeed. Remember Jesus is the good shepherd, He leads His sheep in the right path and His sheep hear His voice.
