Generational Curses

   Generational curses are the effects of the sins of our forefathers that have been passed down from one generation to the next. They play out their sick passions through our unsuspecting lives while all the while we are unaware that we are living under a curse. We find ourselves helplessly acting out these compelling self destructive behaviors over and over again never understanding why.

   In order to logically justify these behaviors we decide to call them a sickness (like alcoholism) or we are told that we that are born male are really a female in disguise or vice versa. Truth be know, these are curses that have been allowed by God as a judgment on sin. Please take a moment to look at the following verses:

   Numbers 14:18 The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.

Rom 1:27-32 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
   God did not create us to participate in such extreme behaviors. We are created in His image.

   How many folks do you know that are bound by uncontrollable behaviors, emotional disorders, depression and diseases. These are people we love, who seem to be controlled by some unseen force to do things that not even they want to do.

    The good news is that Jesus Christ canceled the curse!

   In Gal 3:13 we're told that Christ became a curse for us. He was afflicted by the curse on the cross so that we could be free. Because of Christs' sacrifice we have the authority, in His name, to cancel all curses, and ultimately their effects.
   You may be saying to yourself, "well, all this really doesn't apply to me" -- I'm okay -- I think I'll just skip this article. While it is true you may not be suffering in the extremes, you may in fact still be a victim of generational curses. It's certainly worth your while to check it out.

A personal Testimony

   For the first twenty-five years of my life I lived in fear and insecurity. I had a couple of close friends but even they didn't know of my battle within. Whenever they went somewhere with a group I would stay behind for fear I would not be able to keep up socially. I never played sports, went swimming or did anything that might challenge me for fear I would fail in front of my friends.
   I found that being alone was safe; all the while wishing I were more like them and not the odd man out! I know that this isn't as extreme as drug addiction or homosexuality but to me this was a curse and I didn't like myself very much.
   All that began to change as soon as I gave my life to Christ. I became, and am still becoming, the new person the Bible speaks about in 2 Cor 5:17. I was free at last to be all God had created me to be ...
