Break The Curse!

Have you ever seen a family where the father has a problem with uncontrollable anger, his son seems to have been handed the same issue, and the grandfather 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? 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 and is considered a generational curse. 

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 the behavior  but because they inherited their spiritual bondage. Some common symptoms of generational curses are family illnesses that seem to just go from one person down to the next , continual financial difficulties, mental problems, 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. There are other things that can seem like generational curses, but aren't. Perhaps the most common is if there is an ungodly soul tie formed between you and one of your ancestors, that can also allow for the transferring of spirits. 

Generational curses are many times are triggered by an opened door in our life. It's important that we clear up any legal grounds or strongholds that we have given the enemy in your own life relating to the bondage. Unforgiveness is a great way to trigger generational spirits. Unforgiveness is a serious sin that blocks the forgiveness of your own sins (Matthew 6:15), which creates ample grounds for the enemy in our life. Unforgiveness in itself puts us into the enemy's hands (Matthew 18:23-35).

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 came as a curse to free us from the curses that sin (both our sins and those of our forefathers) has brought us. Galatians 3:13 says, "But Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When he was hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, “Cursed is everyone who is hung 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. So how you deal with a spirit that has entered through a generational curse is very simple, Mark 16:17 says that, "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils…" We know that our generational curses have been broken in Jesus' name, but we still need to verbally confess cast out and renounce these curses, because there's power in our verbal confessions and prayer, and it helps us to realize that we are set free, and also lets the enemy know that he's in trouble! 

Pray to Break the Generational Curse.

Heavenly Father, I come to You now in the Name of my Lord and Savior Christ Jesus. Lord Jesus Christ, I believe that You are the Son of God; that You died on the cross for my sins; that God raised You from the dead and You ascended to heaven. Heavenly Father, I  repent of any sins in my life and my ancestors’ lives, going back 25 generations, that have resulted in a curse or curses on me, or on my family. I repent of all and any sins of: not keeping Your commandments: having other gods before You; making or buying images, bowing down to or serving images; for taking the Lord my God’s Name in vain; not honoring my father and/or mother; murder; adultery; stealing; bearing false witness; coveting a neighbor’s spouse, house, land, or anything that is my neighbor’s; not loving You with all my heart, with all my soul, and with all my mind; not loving my neighbor as myself, or not loving myself. I ask Your forgiveness and cleansing through the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Heavenly Father, I repent of all of my  sins and I thank You for forgiving me . 

Father I now ask You in the Name of Your Son Jesus, to destroy all curses, generational curses that have been placed on me, my spouse, and my children, including ten generations. Lord Jesus, Your Word says that Your anointing breaks and destroys all yokes of bondage so I ask You now to cause Your anointing to break and destroy any yokes of bondages; along with all their works, roots, fruits, tentacles, seeds and links, in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. In the name of Jesus, and by the power of His blood, I now renounce, break and sever all curses that have been handed down to me from my ancestors. In the name of Jesus, I now loose myself and my future generations from any bondages passed down to me from my ancestors! I renounce and reject these things in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and I loose every wrong attitude, pattern of thinking, belief, idea, desire, behavior and habit I have ever learned. I loose the strongholds around them that would keep me from being completely surrendered to the will of God for my life. I loose all doubt and confusion from myself. I have bound my mind to the mind of Christ and I loose every wrong thought and evil imagination that will keep me from being in unity with You. I believe in Your miracle working power to restore and heal me. I bind and loose these things in the Name of Jesus Christ, who has given me the keys to do so. Amen!
