Generational
Curses
Generational curses seen in the life of Abraham:
Abraham travels to Egypt to escape to drought and tells Sarah
to lie to Pharaoh because she was beautiful, and he was afraid
he would be killed. Sarah agrees to lies but Pharaoh finds out
the truth in a dream. It was out of fear, fear of man that he
lied.
Abraham does it again – he travels to the land of the Philistine
(Gaza strip) and lies to Abimeleck. She says the same thing to
Sarah and Sarah agrees to lie.
His son Isaac, travels with Rebecca (Gaza Strip) and they both
lie to Abimeleck. He says the exact same thing to Abimeleck and
Rebecca as his father Abraham did 40 years earlier.
Abraham and Isaace taught their wives to lie. Rebecca lies later
to Isaac with his son when it was time to bless Essah and Jacob.
4th generations – now jacob’s sons lied to Jacob
about Joseph being killed by an animal when he was sold for slavery.
10 sons are liars and are fearful.
Satan is the executor of the curse of
the law
Christ didn’t do away with the law. He fulfilled it –
Matthew 5:17 “Think not that I am come to destroy the law,
or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.”
Jesus made it possible for you to be free of your disobedience,
so you could be free of the executor. That is what he did on the
cross for us was make a way for our disobedience when we sin.
How to do it? Appropriate through obedience!
Exodus 20:5 “Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor
serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting
the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and
fourth generation of them that hate me;”
In ministry it is clearly observed that what has been in a family
tree is currently in the lives of people; same sin issues, same
disease.
Charge
God wants to know what you are going to do with creation.
Curse
Deuteronomy 28 is the great chapter on blessings and cursings
that affect you (mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally,
relationally, and financially).
Where does Disease Come From?
Disease is a type and shadow of Satan’s kingdom. It comes
from Egypt and not Zion.
Deductive reasoning
Disease is a curse, not a blessing (even today). The response
of sick people, when asked if they consider their disease a blessing
or a curse, some said curse (good answer, the Bible agrees); some
said it’s from God (then why are you going to the doctor?).
Those people don’t have an answer for disease, and they’re
giving God credit to increase their spirituality. No, that’s
ignorance.
Conclusion: Disease is a curse
The only way to break it is in your generation
Psychologists have been able to document that many of our personality
characteristics including rage, anger, predisposition to mental
disorders and certain diseases can be found in humans without
any genetic component, but it can still be inherited. There is
not a genetic or a defective gene that has been isolated, but
the condition is still passed on in families. We consider those
situations to be inherited familiar spirits that follow families
to create various breakdowns in the psyche or the soul.
Cause and Effect
If you don’t allow the Holy spirit to bring you to a place
of repentance hen God has no more to do.
The Pattern for Freedom
Neh. 9:1-2 “1Now in the twenty and fourth day of this month
the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackclothes,
and earth upon them.
2And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers,
and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their
fathers.
Final Charge
To encourage the church to bring people back into repentance
To help encourage others to look at generational curses
Do a family tree chart for four generations.
List all mental predispositions, sins and tragedies and find
out what is flowing from generation to generation.
If the flow is not stopped, it will flow into you and into your
children and your grandchildren.
