Generational Curses

Generational Curses

Dysfunction even though it has many fleshly properties can be part of a generational curse.

Even the scheme can be a generational curse.

Generational curse is a demonic assignment that is passed down through generations.

They can be broken once it is recognized; repented of, forgiven and all legal doors have been closed.

According to Scripture the effects of sin tend to run in families, and indeed are a curse.

Exodus 34:6-7 (NIV) - And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, "The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, 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 fathers to the third and fourth generation."

This is a serious warning but it is important to point out that this Scripture was referring to the Old Covenant. Satan loves to try to invalidate the New Covenant by condemning Christians with the Old Covenant.


A Prophecy concerning the New Covenant –

Jeremiah 31:29-32 (NIV) - In those days people will no longer say, 'The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge.' Instead, everyone will die for his own sin; whoever eats sour grapes--his own teeth will be set on edge. "The time is coming," declares the Lord, "when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers.

A curse is an illegal trespass by Satan in a vain attempt to undo the work of Christ.

A generational curse is basically a defilement that was passed down from one generation to another. For example, if your mother has been heavily involved in the occult, then she has become quite defiled (polluted or unclean), and has opened herself up to various demons to enter her. Satan works hard to cause the sin of the parents with its consequences to be handed down to their children:

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

What happens is that not only is the uncleanliness handed down, but demons move 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!

Galatians 3:13 - 14 -
