Thanks for any insite!

Rockie- I've come across those Scriptures also. Tho I haven't studied them as never been asked such before. If recall correctly, Jesus Christ did heal a man who was claimed to have been cursed from generational sin. As for wether can be broken. I would say yes, under particular circumstances. I would suggest, as Christ showed, a removal of this can happen thru recieving Salvation. Of course, nothing is impossible to God, but the Lord always shows there are usaul guidelines showing reasoning for such things. God declares He will answer all prayers, but, the answers are according to His guidelines of how presented to Him. Recieving Salvation is the same, so is following God, to following the world etc. So, can this kind of curse be broken, yes. I hope this helps- take care and God Bless!

I don't know much about what the Bible says about this. I did at one time, but I forgot where they are in the Bible. However, one church I went to had a class on generational curses. They had us ask God to reveal curses to us, and write them down. They can be anything like poverty, abortion, homosexuality, anger, addictions, ect. Then, two people met with everyone individually and prayed to have these curses broken. It was kind of like deliverance. You can do the same, and ask God to break these for you. You have to work hard through the Word and prayer to keep them broken. I hope this helped a little.

Rockie,
Interesting question. I have some evangelist friends who are very experienced and keen when it comes to discerning and breaking generational curses. Anything the enemy can throw at a believer can be thrown back at him by the Lord. So yes, generational curses can be broken. Generational curses are caused from a sin in the persons family lineage. Curses can go down the family lineage three generations, while blessings can go 1000.

To break a generational curse pray! An example of part of the prayer my friends use to deliver people from generational curses is similar to:

I break every generational curse, and spiritual stronghold from generation - to generation - to generation, in Jesus name.

That is just an example of something they say, to break anything off which goes back three generations. THERE IS NO SET FORMULA - ONLY FAITH AND PRAYER!

If you are having dreams about snakes, and snakes striking at you - depending on the context of the dream - the Lord may be revealing generational curses. This is not to say we should all run around scared about what generational curse we have, or don't have. Most of the time, these curses are broken off at our Salvation, and through relationship with Jesus. People can also take a step of faith, and reverse something that the enemy has had on their family for generations - a rags-to-riches type of scenario.

I hope this answers your question. I am no expert on this subject, but know who to ask to get the right answers.
Your brother in Christ!

Hello there,

I know this post has been here for a while but I hope this helps.

I highly recommend a book entitled, "Unbroken Curses" by Rebecca Brown. I was amazed by what I have discovered. Do try and invest in this book to help you fight the good fight of faith....

God bless,
Illuminate

I'm in agreeance with the book suggested "Unbroken Curses - Hidden Sources of Trouble in the Christians Life" by Rebecca Brown

I was set free from some generational sin & curses in my own life not too long ago.. and what a difference I've seen in myself since placing the blood of Jesus between myself and those ungodly generational things! praise God!

Generational sin does follow us.. basically what it does is cause us to be more "prone" to follow the same sin as our parents and/or ancestors - although the choice to sin ultimately is ours. We aren't 'forced' to sin, we always have the opportunity to say 'no' to it.. but the inclination towards that particular sin is stronger because of our forefathers involvement in it.. and it carries on from one generation to the next in many instances until it's broken (IE: alcoholism).


--> i've tried to insert a link here to look at but it keeps changing it

Exodus 34:6-7 - "And He [the Lord] 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.' "
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
I know that many Christians will reason, "I thought that all the past is under the blood when I received Jesus as my Savior!" As far as your salvation and eternal destiny is concerned, that is true. But our enemy loves to cause us grief when there are sins connected to our lives (personal or generational) that has not been addressed through repentance and confession. Do you remember that time when you received Jesus into your life? You acknowledged your sin in a general way and asked Him to be your Savior and forgive you and cleanse you. The Lord was very gracious with your general confession, but later on the Holy Spirit began to convict you of sins in your past. You were led to repent of them and confess them specifically to the Lord. Why did the Spirit do that? He wanted you to be free of any legal claims of the enemy upon your life. It had nothing to do with your salvation, but the quality and freedom of your new life in Christ.

How do we begin to address the problem of generational curses and bondages? First, you must develop two sin lists - one personal and one for your family (including parents and the members of each of their families). You must be specific and thorough. Take your time. Go before the Lord and ask Him to help you prepare those lists & reveal to you what they are.. You may need the help of a counselor or pastor gifted with hearing the Lord clearly. Then ask the Father to place the blood of Christ between yourself and each of these sins, breaking off all sowing and reaping.

This is what I did, and much freedom was found as a result - Thank You Jesus!
blessings to you as you seek truth
