Generational Sins and Curses - Spiritual Housecleaning

Hi Freedom 1, and today I'll be talking about what the Bible has to say about 'Generational Sins and Curses'. The Bible tells us that the sins of the father can be “visited” down to 3 or 4 generations in future children.

This IS the bible, this IS what the Word of God says. Most churches pass over it, ignore it… I don't know why… but I have sought it out because I had issues contrary to the Word and found deliverance.


I've listed some scriptures that do need to be reckoned with, and I hope you will look them over because you have to know that God cannot look upon sin. The blood of Jesus is the only appropriation for that sin, and although you may have confessed Jesus as Lord in your life… if your ancestors had not, and you have not declared and repented of it for them… again, look in the Word… Then look at your life and make sense of why you are suffering, and or facing defeat in areas of your life.



Exodus 20:5

"You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me."


Numbers chapter 14:18

'The LORD is slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but He will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generations.'


Deu 5:9

'You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me."


Leviticus 26:39-42

'So those of you who may be left will rot away because of their iniquity in the lands of your enemies; and also because of the iniquities of their forefathers they will rot away with them.

'If they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their forefathers, in their unfaithfulness which they committed against Me, and also in their acting with hostility against Me— I also was acting with hostility against them, to bring them into the land of their enemies—or if their uncircumcised heart becomes humbled so that they then make amends for their iniquity, then I will remember My covenant with Jacob, and I will remember also My covenant with Isaac, and My covenant with Abraham as well, and I will remember the land."


[The bible says, “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps whatever he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit will reap eternal life,” Galatians 6:7-8.]


-Why Curses?-

Well, it's all about turning away from God. In the context of this message, a curse is a punishment for violating God’s instructions. Blessings are exactly the opposite and also flow down through generations as well. Again, all completely evidenced in the natural that this Word is true. The problem is, is that our society keeps getting further and further from questioning why bad things happen and just accept things as 'natural'. [C'est la vie]. We don't look to the promises and faithfulness in God's Word for victorious living and certainly account the punishment or curse as Old Testament nonsense, or just part of 'the fall'. Well, that's opposed to the promise of victory if we just ignore the scriptures and decide to settle for less.


[Illustration: Magazine picture of fancy car and it says "This IS Yours!"

'Hey you look in here at this!"

'Uh, no thanks, I'm happy with this one, I built it myself' (embraces toy car)]


When you get sick, you look for something to soothe or cure the ailment, but in these last days where is faith and abundant life?? Why are we not questioning-- seeking?



-Identify the bad fruit -


We have to be real with ourselves. The bible states what good fruits are, what bad ones are… get a pen and begin to journal.

What are the negative things in your life that you struggle with? As a primer read through Galatians 5 for a refresher. Ask yourself, "What attributes within me are contrary to what the Word says?"


Then, begin to look at your life and situations on a broader scale.

Are you always drawn to abusive relationships or domineering ones? Do you have an innate fear of death because your relatives drop like flies? Are you always struggling with an addiction? Do you always put yourself down?

Next, look at your family tree… whatever you see in your family tree, make a note of and include it. Just because it doesn't affect you, you still have to appropriate what Jesus did else it has access to future generations. You might not have set off the trigger point in agreement to set it off, but you sure don't want to leave any doors open.

So with your family tree… Do you see a pattern of the same problems occurring?


Next, dig even deeper and if it applies, try to pinpoint when these issues sprang up in your life. Again, being 'Real' with yourself… contemplate "Did I open up this doorway myself by what I did or what I spoke, or is this something I've always known or can't put a finger on??" If you can pinpoint a starting point and see a family pattern as well, you'll be dealing with your own sin as well as breaking a family curse.


If you still have the thoughts or the attacks after having overcome, are you thinking that's normal when the Word says the enemy has to flee? Do you really think mental or physical torments are abundant life? Remember, if the enemy still has a legal doorway… he'll always come back knocking with 7 more - more evil than himself.


Is a lightbulb coming on here if you have not taken into account that perhaps these scriptures on the sins of the forefathers, as well as the blessings for obedience are STILL in effect?


[Salad bar 'christian' in disagreement to the previous statement: "No, no, no! It's just the fall."

Me: speaking in tongues

Salad bar 'christian' in disagreement to my speaking in tongues: "That's of the devil, you better stop that too!"

Me reading scripture: "'These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues…' (Mark 16:17)

Salad bar 'christian' in disagreement to the Word of God: "Oh stop it, that stuff's passed away!"]


You know what… you had better start seeking God in His Word for answers instead of buying what everyone else is trying to sell you. If it's in here, (bible) you Have to deal with it!


How do you kill this curse of destruction from your bloodline?


Leviticus 26:40-42

"..but if they confess their iniquity and THE INIQUITY OF THEIR FATHERS, with their unfaithfulness in which they were unfaithful to Me, and that they also have walked contrary to Me... then I will remember My covenant with Jacob, and My covenant with Isaac and My covenant with Abraham.."


It is really easy in all this to suddenly look at your ancestors; and especially your living ones and get angry because it's 'their fault' that you have been suffering; but remember, "THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE", Romans 3:10.


A first approach in breaking Generational Sins and Curses is to first FORGIVE.


*Below you will find a Generational Deliverance prayer and an extended checklist for you to go through that will help jog your family history memory as to potential witchcraft curse openers.


Seek the Holy Spirit earnestly and ask for guidance even for those things that are hidden from your knowledge and the Holy Spirit will help you.


This is a real in-depth process, but you can see what it's causing you to do. Stay tuned for more videos that will help you on your Spiritual Housecleaning journey.

Battlefield of the Mind - Discerning Thoughts

The Lord is leading me into a focus on the battlefield of the mind-- the final frontier...

In 2Corinthians 10:3 we read, "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh." 

If more people could pin the tail on the real donkey and understand why Jesus exclaimed "Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do"... mankind is under the prince and power of the air's influence.  As seekers of God, it is important to seek the difference in that man can activate thoughts by God or the enemy into the flesh.  One brings forth the Kingdom of God, and one aligns with the accuser of the brethren.

Let me back this up though because my heart is to exhort and teach believers, but why not include even a person that is in denial about God?  A person that says... "I looked for God but He never showed up"?  Wow, that's the best and most noticeable situation to be in... IF you are sincerely looking for answers.   The devil doesn't want you to make a decision for Jesus... perhaps all the other times you looked, the devil cleverly talked you out of how God was answering your prayers or speaking to you.  Now is the time to Pay Attention to your thought life.

After I went through a generational deliverance session... I was amazed how quiet my noggin was!  I used to have tons of thoughts always racing through my mind... always judging others... constant daydreams playing our scenarios of 'what to do next' or 'what should I have done' in past situations.  I hadn't realized how scatterbrained I had been... how much overtime my mind was doing, processing so many things at once.

Some time after I renounced all the sins that granted all that extra chatter in my head via the sins of my forefathers...  I was viewing an online exhibition of Tibetan artwork.  I was viewing the most horrid multi-armed, fang-faced, knife-wielding, blood-thirsty statue and I heard.... "Oh, it's beautiful" in my head.  HELLO... not my thought... no way.... no how! 

I encourage you to get scientific in your pursuit about discerning your thought life.  Even those of you that have received Jesus as Lord and Savior...   do what the scripture says about holding everything captive.  (2Corinthians 10:5-6 “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.”)  Go through one day with a hand-held recorder and speak these random thoughts & then by the end of the day you'll be able to identify what you know was You... vs. what was maybe a lightening bolt kind of thought that popped into your head and you are unsure.  Then consider the thought. If you have premonitions about things... know that the enemy could be sending those as well... that is a grey area the enemy likes to use as counterfeiting the prophetic in Yeshua.  I want to bring that up so you don't end up as operating as a psychic.  If you are seeking a relationship with Jesus above all else, He will keep you.... if you seek after hidden knowledge apart from Jesus and not inquiring with Him... you've got an open door for receiving information from familiar spirits, i.e. demons.

Obvious thoughts..... you will find blatant judgmental thoughts, crude thoughts, perverse ones....(Mark 7:22, Romans 1:29)  These thoughts oppose God... these are not you... these are the dead-ringers, the give-a-ways to the enemies devises.  You can agree with these thoughts and make them your own.  You can come into agreement with these thoughts and if a sin is welcome in your spirit...you'll always think it's you.  Ever agreed that you're ugly?  This is not from you... God says 'you were fearfully and wonderfully made' (Psalm 139:14) --and guess what, He's not a liar. 

If a thought has birthed an action into sin by you and you find you have no conscience that it is contrary to God... it's because you have embraced it.  If you have embraced it but feel bad about it from time to time... consider the Holy Spirit is trying to drag you out of that pit you've dug for yourself.  The enemy does not like to be exposed... if you do not feel complete freedom in this supposed sin, if you have shame... look up, Jesus loves you, and you can be free.  If you can begin to say (Rom 7:15 ) "I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do"....and then monitor yourself, you'll begin to see the war that is going on in your mind.

One of the biggest mind-trips the enemy does is in getting you to birth sin from that initial thought.  Then, condemns you into thinking there is no forgiveness, no escape from that pit.  And this is where overcomers shine...  when that condemning thought enters your mind, when that sinful thought enters in.... an overcomer is one that recognizes the source, takes it captive saying "devil, I know it's you!" --- believing the word of God you speak, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." -- or scripture of your choice.   Binding that thought, command it to the pit, or the footstool of Jesus, and speak the opposite of what the devil was pushing in that thought from the word of God.... using that sharp sword.  Example:  The devil says "You remember last week you were so rotten... you screwed up so many times... you don't learn from your mistakes... you're just a hypocrite...", and on and on.  RIGHT THERE is the doorway... what are you going to do with that thought?  Well let me tell you... you recall the scriptures and target it just like Jesus used the Word of God against satan in the desert.  You say, "excuse me devil... if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and He Himself is the propitiation for my sins" (1John 2:1-2).   If you get attacked with a sexual thought.... "no devil, my body is a temple of the Holy Spirit."  Are you seeing how to take captive and combat?  The Word of God is our foundation... you seek it, you read it, you implement it and it builds every part of the  armor of God (Eph 6:11).

So I've kind of transitioned over to discerning thoughts for the believer in Jesus, but I want to say, there are many christians out there that receive Jesus but do not understand the importance of paying attention to our thought life.  They think receiving Jesus is enough and allow these terrible thoughts to manifest as terrible sins against fellow brothers and sisters in the Lord. 

The biggest warning I have is that the devil will put in your mind a spirit of self-justification.  This is a 'religious spirit'.  Remember keep your friends close, but your enemies closer?  Well a religious spirit is one that twists the Word of God... like Eve dealt with in the Garden.  The base of it is spiritual... the enemy latches on to your bad self and gets you to justify the sin.  Gossip goes unheeded on our radars because... 'oh, that person is sinning-- it's okay to EXpose sin'.  Backbiting goes unheeded BEcause... 'they didn't return my book, therefore they aren't a person of their word'.  Attack of character based on doctrinal belief differences.... 'because after all, if you don't believe what I do, you must be a damned sinner because I know God talks to me, so you must be listening to the devil...'  This is the most dangerous stuff to entertain because christians open up their hearts to other christians and the wounds can be so deep as believers attack other believers.... the devil's favorite weapon of choice.... the same spirit that killed Jesus.

[prayer]

If you have a negative thought of a brother or sister in the Lord... if during this teaching your head has been a bed of mumbles railing against me... just stop & see it for what it is.  Stop and pray for that person... you are having those thoughts because the enemy wants to use you as a weapon.  The devil doesn't want you to free... doesn't want you to be an overcomer... c'mon and prove him eternally wrong!
