Generation Curses

BY SUSAN B. BROTHERTON

A GENERATIONAL CURSE is a negative pattern of behavior that is thought to hold a family in spiritual bondage." Sins committed by earlier generations (from our grandparents or from our parents such as: divorce or broken marriage, addiction, depression, sickness and etc.) are passed down from one generation to the next generation.

"JESUS came to Earth to sacrifice His life so that we could be free from sin and its generational effects. We were all born sinners [because of Adam's sin]... However, when we made Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, we switched families" (C.D.).

When we become born again, we become alive in Him. In other words, we are no longer dead to God (Ephesians 2:1-3, AMP).

"We know that many Christians will reason, I thought that all the past is under the blood when I received Jesus as my Savior! As far as your salvation and eternal destiny is concerned, that is true. But our enemy loves to cause us grief when there are sins connected to our lives [personal or generational, from our parents or from us] that has not been addressed through REPENTANCE and CONFESSION." -C.D.

THE PRICE FOR GENERATIONAL CURSES HAS BEEN PAID!
The good news is that once you accept Jesus, the transference of bondage stops from your ancestors by means of generational curses. You can no longer receive spiritual bondages in this manner from your parents once you accept Jesus!

PRAYER FOR GENERATIONAL CURSES:

Father, I know Your Word says that if we confess our iniquity (sins) and the iniquity (sins) of our fathers that you will heal us (James 5:16; Leviticus 26:40-42). Father, I take responsibility for my sins. I ask You to forgive me of my sins, separate them from me, and place them on the cross of Jesus Christ. I also ask you to forgive my fathers this same sin, separate their sins from them, put them on the cross as well and thus break the curse off of me and my family, in Jesus' name.

THE LAW BRINGS A CURSE:
10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.” [Deuteronomy 27:26] 11 But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.” [Habakkuk 2:4] 12 Yet the law is not of faith, but “the man who does them shall live by them.” [Leviticus 18:5] -- Galatians 3:10-12

WE MUST REPENT and FORGIVE:
Repentance is a Command (Acts 17:30) And to Keep God's Law is a Command: Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect (Matt 5:17-48) --Matt 6:14-15, Matt 18:23-35, De 29:18-21, De 5:9, Matt 12:36-37).

THE LAW BRINGS A CURSE (Gal 3:10-12):

4 You shall not make yourself any graven image [to worship it] or any likeness of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 You shall not bow down yourself to them or serve them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the THIRD and FOURTH GENERATION of those who hate Me, 6 But showing mercy and steadfast love to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments. (Exodus 20)

Why People Get Sick?
"The Parents DNA passes to their children and to the Next Generation." And Spiritual Bondage... "It is because SINS committed by earlier generations [from our great grandparents, grandparents or from our parents] are passed down from one generation to the next generation [such as depression, sickness, diseases and etc.]." -s.r.

We must "PRAY" to our Lord God to "FORGIVE" our grandparents' parents, grandparents, and parents' "UNFORGIVEN" Sins that they committed even that they are already gone or not. Their sins are passed down in our generation.

If our PARENTS or GRANDPARENTS are still alive, then share to them the Words of God about the Generational Curse or Spiritual Bondage, in able for them to REPENT the Unconfessed sins. And ask God to forgive their sins and unknown sins. And ask God to break those curses from us, so that we could be all FREE from these Bondage of Sin (death, sickness), in Jesus mighty Name. Amen!

As a HUSBAND and WIFE who committed sins:
such as; sex before marriage, sex before the wedding or marriage, adultery, fornication, addiction (drugs or smoking), alcoholic, had sex with other man or woman before marriage, disobedient, "stubborn and rebellious son [and daughter] who will not obey his father or mother.. and refuses to obey. He is a glutton and a drunkard" (Deuteronomy 21:18-21) and etc. that not mentioned above... Then must REPENT the Unconfessed sins. And ask God to forgive your sins and unknown sins, so that you could be all FREE from these sins (death, sickness). And your children could be all FREE these Bondage of your both Sins. And that these could Not be passed down from one Generation to the Next Generation... in Jesus Name. Amen and Amen!

The parents who have sinned:
That never asked yet to God to forgive their sins (sex before marriage, fornication, adultery, alcoholic, addiction, etc.) —is that they can pass it down from one generation to the next generations (of their children, grandkids, grandkids' kids) that can cause sickness, poverty, addiction, adultery, alcoholic, pre-marital sex, and etc. that not mentioned... All wrongdoing is sin.

WE MUST REPENT:
When your "past memories" will come back to your mind and it still hurts you deeply or even slightly —it means you did not forgive yourself yet. And you did not forgive that person (friend, brother, sister, mother, father, etc.) yet in your past. That you still carried that scars or wound in your present life.

We have to ask our Lord Jesus to take that away this burden or regret, scar or wound. We cannot continue to open this door for the demons to come into our life. Because it is very clear that this is sin. "Without Forgiveness" this sin can come to our flesh to get sick or to our children's health or anything can happen such as divorce, out of wedlock or sickness, etc. Do not let this "Unforgiveness" to pass down to our next generations.

ASIDE FROM THE GENERATIONAL CURSE:

There is Life and death in the Power of Tongue!!!

Our Tongue is very powerful, we have to Speak Life and Not death! Whatever situation we may be facing, we have to Speak Good in our body or health, family, friends, enemy, poverty.. etc.

Proverbs 18:21 (NKJV) says,

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit."

Matthew 12:36-37 (NKJV)
Jesus said: "But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."

Genesis 12:3 (NKJV)
I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed."
