Breaking Generational Curses:

Ex. 20:4-6 “You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. 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, but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments."

I believe the reason God would punish the future generations with the sins of their fathers, is because of God's bitter hatred for sin. He would require somebody who practiced witchcraft to be put to death (Exodus 22:18). He knows that one of the most prized possessions we have, is our children, and therefore it makes sin a lot harder to commit when you realize that you are not the only one that is being punished for it, but also your own children are going to pay the price for your foolishness. The whole human race fell thanks to Adam's sin for that matter.​

Have you been experiencing these issues:

- Continual financial problems.

- Continual lack of prosperity.

- Chronic physical or mental illnesses.

- Premature death.

- Multiple or repetitive accidents or injuries, particularly of the same type.

- Chronic strife or arguments or problems with interpersonal relationships.

- Hereditary physical or emotional problems.

- Poor eating or sleeping habits in infants or children.

- Business failures, single or repeated.

- Inability to conceive children or multiple miscarriages."

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 was made a curse, so we can be freed from the curses that sin (both our sins and those of our forefathers) has brought us. Galatians 3:13, "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:"...Thank you JESUS.

Once you become a child of God, no longer will the sins of your forefathers cause curses to transfer into your life: Jeremiah 31:29-30, "In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge. But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge."

My Affliction is Working for my Multiplication

This Pharaoh realized that there were more Israelites than there were Egyptians. If they combined with one of Egypt's enemies, like the Hittites, the Egyptians would be in a bad place. So he enslaved them - appointed taskmasters over them.

Exod. 1:12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied

This is a principle of God - that growth comes from affliction. When the Israelites went through affliction, they multiplied. When the church goes through affliction, it too multiplies.

Paul wrote from prison to the Philippians,

Phil. 1:12-14 Now I want you to know, brethren, that my circumstances have turned out for the greater progress of the gospel, so that my imprisonment in {the cause of} Christ has become well known throughout the whole praetorian guard and to everyone else, and that most of the brethren, trusting in the Lord because of my imprisonment, have far more courage to speak the word of God without fear.

When the persecution broke out against the church in Acts 8, it spread the Christians into Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch. There they preached Jesus and a large number turned to the Lord.

That is why the American church does not grow exponentially - because we "enjoy" freedom from affliction. But the day will come that tribulation hits the Christians in our country, as it has the Christians in the majority of the rest of the world, and people will have to make a stand. The religious fakers will be weeded out from the true followers of Christ. In that day, the church will begin to see real multiplication. Glory
