"...maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.” - Exodus 34: 7 (KJV)

Our ancestors sinned and are no more, and we bear their punishment. - Lamentations 5: 7 (NIV)

 

Generational curse
A generational curse simply means a level of spiritual captivity, oppression, defilement or affliction that is passed down from one generation to another.

The Bible tells us that the sin of the parents can cause that same pollution to be handed down to their children:

"Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities." - Lamentations 5:7

What happens is that not only is the uncleanliness 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 struggled with.

Generational curses manifest in diverse forms; sometimes, as a stubborn sin or a seemingly intractable pattern of failure, all because of one of their family member's sin that has brought a curse on the entire lineage.

Generational curses may be self-imposed or it may come from any of these sources: 

  • Through God Himself
  •  Acts of disobedience
  • Acts of treachery
  • Injustice to the weak or helpless
  • Illicit or unnatural sex 
  • Perjury
  • Preaching false gospel
  • Idol worship
  • Unscriptural covenants
  • Occult participation


Biblical Examples of Generational Curses:

Genesis 3 - Adam and Eve sinned and introduced sickness, death and murder into their family, Not long after that original sin, Cain murdered his brother Abel while humanity in general, still deals with Adam's sin and the resulting curses.
Genesis 9:18-10:32 - Noah's drunkenness led to his son Ham dishonoring him. As the result, an entire linage of people was and is still under a curse in the land of Canaan.
Genesis 16 - Abraham went against God's will for him and fathered a son in the flesh; this robbed the birthright from the firstborn son, which went on for the next three generations, and in the next five generations the youngest prospered instead of the oldest.
Genesis 20:1-2 - Abraham lied to Abimelech about his wife and a spirit of lying and deception manifesting in his children. Jacob lied to his father concerning his birthright. His sons in turn lied to him about the disappearance of Joseph.
2 Samuel 11 - David, the man after God's own heart fell into sexual sin with Bathsheba. He committed adultery and then had her husband Uriah murdered to cover up his sexual sin. As a result, we see a history of incest, rape, rebellion and womanizing in his children.

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!

Christ was made a curse, so we can be freed from the curses that sin (both our sins and those of our forefathers) has brought us. Galatians 3:13, "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:"

Once you become a child of God, no longer will the sins of your forefathers cause curses to transfer into your life: Jeremiah 31:29-30, "In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge. But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge."

In this service, God will be breaking all generational curses at work in the lives of all in attendance.

Come expecting an encounter of a lifetime with the prophetic word. Everyone is admonished to come with at least one new soul in addition to their new converts and other invitees.

Jesus is Lord!!!
