How to break generational curses

Generational curses are remarked to be passed down from one generation to the next as a result of disobedience against God. You are most likely cursed if your family line is marked by anti-marriage, deprivation, anxiety, divorce or other ungodly patterns.

Affirming to the Bible, these curses are the result of choices. Conforming to Deuteronomy 30:19, we have the option of choosing life and blessing or death and cursing. Many traits and preferences that we inherit from our parents are not always positive influences on ourselves or others.

The Bible explains in Psalm 106 that God was furious with the Israelites because they sinned against him and they worshipped idols. However, in verse 45, it is stated that God remembered the covenant and, out of his great love, relented, causing those who held them captive to love them. God can forgive both our sins (transgressions and the sins of our forefathers). 

When we pray, we should remind God of our covenant with him, as well as the covenant he made with our forefathers.

Affirming to Genesis 17:7, “I will make my covenant with you and your descendants. As an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you, throughout their generations.” And we should pray to God not to let us suffer as a result of our Ancestors’ sins, but to bless us as a result of what Jesus did on the cross.

When we obey God, he establishes an everlasting peace covenant with us. And the Bible explains to us in Ezekiel 37:26 that he will place and multiply us and will establish his sanctuary in our midst forever.

These are the covenants we should constantly remind God of whenever we feel like we are experiencing what our parents did.

We must humble ourselves, pray, seek his face, and repent of our evil ways, according to 2 Chronicles 7:14. Then the Lord will hear us from heaven, forgive our sin, and heal our land.

God has already given us His power, anointing, and authority to trample on all of our adversaries’ power—and some of our adversaries are definitely demonic spirits. It is critical that we break these curses so that our future generations does not have to face them. 

Generational curses that are passed down through the family line must be terminated before they affects future generations. How we live today can either be a blessing or a curse to our children and grandchildren. Let us be obedient to our God and keep the covenant we made with him.

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you. He is warning you to take a step and to act upon what he revealed. One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.

How to depend on Jesus

The things of this world cannot fill the empty space within us; only Christ can complete us. This embodies for us that we need Jesus more than anything else on this planet. God did not put us here to rely on ourselves, but to rely on him for everything. We can't survive without him, which is why the Bible cautions us not to rely on our own understanding, because our understanding can fail us and our hearts can lead us astray. Physically, we may appear to be capable of doing things on our own, but on the inside, we are slowly dying. I don’t know about you, but if you haven't yet accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, it’s not too late. The Bible encourages us in Jeremiah 33:3 that if we call on God, he will answer us and tell us things we don't know. God is waiting for your call today. He is waiting for you to come to him and ask him to show you the way. Here is a short prayer to seek God: Heavenly Father, please forgive me for all of my transgressions against ...

Wait upon the LORD

  Life resembles a route. Additionally, there will be stop signs and speed limit or increase signs along the route! I chose to use this analogy because there are times in life when all you have to do is wait on the Almighty. And just get more prayer done when you feel like a situation has triumphed over you. Simply put on the gear and switch it out. There are moments when we may feel as though the Lord is not seeing us, hearing us, or responding to our prayers. We can place all of our faith and belief in the living God at these times. Knowing that the Lord is with us and in charge of our lives allows us to wait on Him with great anticipation. He is going to fulfill his promise. He is going to save us. Even when we are not aware of Him, He is constantly at work for our good (Romans 8:28). Waiting on the Lord is something we can learn through prayer, seeking, active trusting, patience, and courage. When we wait on the Lord, we confidently anticipate a favorable outcome, for which we ...
