Let’s define what a Generational Curse is.
“ According to Don Rogers, GENERATIONAL CURSES are judgments that are passed on to individuals because of sins perpetuated in a family in a number of generations. Generational curses are similar to original sin curses because they can be passed down on a generational basis. They differ in that generational curses do not impose eternal judgment. They bring judgment or bondage during an individual's life, reducing the quality of life, until that individual addresses the sin issues that put the curses into place.
Original accounts of this can be dated back to the biblical times with Moses in Leviticus 26:39-42. “…curses take away the quality of life. They can bring failure, shame, sickness and even physical death. They are temporal in nature, causing much grief. They are administered to get our attention and encourage us to turn back to God. Those who are humbled by them repent and find restoration and renewed freedom from the Lord. Those who become angry, self-righteous and rebel against what God has permitted, and thus remain unrepentant, go deeper into bondage and darkness.”
Now we understand what a generational curse is, we fast forward to begin our discussion. This is a serious subject matter, and in my research I am came across this article.
Have you ever seen a family where the father has a problem with uncontrollable anger, his son seems to have been 'handed it', and the grandpa had the same problem? Or have you noticed that not only do you suffer from something such as persistent irrational fears or depression, but your mother and her father also suffered from it as well? There are many people today who are living under bondage that the sins of their forefathers have brought them under.
Exodus 34:7, "Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting (punishing) the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation."
Lamentations 5:7, "Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne (been punished for) their iniquities."
This is beyond learned behavior; many children learn to be messy if their parents are messy. This is a spiritual bondage that is passed down from one generation to another. Some symptoms of a generational curse is a continual negative pattern of something being handed down from generation to generation. Often people who are adopted end up with the same characteristics as their birth parents, not because they were around their birth parents to learn how they behaved, but because they inherited their spiritual bondage. Some common symptoms of generational curses are family illnesses that seem to just walk from one person down to the next (cancer is a common physical manifestation of a spiritual bondage), continual financial difficulties (they continually hit roadblocks in their finances), mental problems, persistent irrational fears and depression. Anything that seems to be a persistent struggle or problem that was handed down from one generation to another may very well be a generational curse.
SO What is the purpose of the Generational Curse?
“I believe the reason God would punish the future generations with the sins of their fathers, is because of God's bitter hatred for sin. He would require somebody who practiced witchcraft to be put to death (Exodus 22:18). He knows that one of the most prized possessions you have, is your children, and therefore it makes sin a lot harder to commit when you realize that you are not the only one that is being punished for it, but also your own children are going to pay the price for your foolishness. That's what I believe is the reason behind generational curses. The whole human race fell thanks to Adam's sin for that matter.”
'Triggering' the effects of a generational curse
It is possible for demons to enter a child before he accepts Jesus, then remain dormant or hidden in that child's life until some time later in his or her life when it manifests (or makes itself known). Sometimes when a person heads for the ministry, it seems like the devil kicks up his ugly heels and causes havoc for that person. Other times, a line of fear runs in the family tree, but isn't manifested in a person's life until they get themselves involved in something fearful, such as watching a demonic movie. All of a sudden, the spirits in that person's life "come alive" so to speak, and make themselves known. They were there all along, but just now they have come out into the open. The solution is to cast them out.
If you have involved yourself in any sin or opened any doors in your own life while 'awaking' or triggering the spirits, then it's important that you clear up any legal grounds (or strongholds) that you gave the enemy in your own life relating to the bondage. For example, if you have went to see a demonic movie, and it seemed to have triggered spirits of fear in your life that were handed down to you, then it's important to repent for going to see such a movie before trying to cast out any spirits. It's also possible that you picked up the spirits from such a movie without them even being there in the first place, and/or added to spirits that were already inside you. It's always a good idea to clear up any legal grounds or strongholds in your own life before casting spirits out.
I believe unforgiveness is a great way to 'trigger' generational spirits, so I would be on the lookout for any bitterness or unforgiveness in your heart as well. A common sight is when a spirit of cancer is running down the family tree, and I believe bitterness is a great way to trigger those spirits. Unforgiveness is a serious sin that blocks the forgiveness of your own sins (Matthew 6:15), which creates ample legal grounds for the enemy in your life. Unforgiveness in itself puts us into the enemy's hands.”
NOW... my two cents: Are you a generational curse? Are you cursing your children or are you blessing them? We all have things that we are battling everyday; it isn’t always pleasant in reality-ville. Until we start giving some real thought, not just thought, but making adjustments to our choices, we will always be prisoners our circumstances. So what your daddy is jail for murder, that doesn’t mean you have to go down the same path. So what you don’t know your daddy, make sure your children know theirs. If you are having babies by men, who master the disappearing act, don’t fret. You should plant new seeds into your children's lives. Stop spending more time working on you and neglecting the children that God has given YOU. MEN, if you aren't stepping up and raising your children, YOU ARE A CURSE UNTO YOUR CHILDREN! We better wake up and realize what we are doing. We all have choices to make everyday, and we do the best that we can. If I decide to abandon my daughters totally, what curse am I placing on their life? I have just shifted the universe that they live in and created a situation that their self-worth is now in question. How hard of a time will they have trusting men, when they can’t trust their own daddy??? How do you stop generational curses? Start taking responsibility for every choice that you make, because here are the truths. Our sins are passed down into our children and families. Life is a constant force that moves and shifts with our choices. If you do nothing, the universe still shifts. So if we have such impact on the universe, why not attempt to make it positive? If you mother was not there, why choose a woman that cares about herself only, to mother your seeds? If nobody went to college in your family, why not be the first? If your daddy gave you 15 sisters, that don’t live with you, that is a curse. Don’t use your family history as an excuse to NOT DO BETTER!
OUR FAMILY STRUCTURE IS UNDER ATTACK! Now, are you opening the gates for the enemy or ARE gearing up to stand guard? You don't have to be a perfect person to be a productive person. Let start praying off these curses off of our families. It is never too late to STEP UP! I repeat "IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO STEP UP!" I am far from perfect, but I want to create and SPEAK prosperity into my family's universe. Ask yourself "What do I speak?" "Am I the CURSE in my family???" Once we stop being so selfish, it will be so amazing how much prosperity navigates throughout our lives. I could go on, but as always....I LOVE YOU AND WISH MANY BLESSINGS UPON YOUR LIFE! ~INK-HEART
