Generational Curses


"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 parents to the third and fourth generation.” ~ Exodus 34:6-7

Many of us, particularly in the black community, suffer because of the sins of our parents. We deal with alcoholism, drug addiction, infidelity, jealousy, mean-spiritedness, and even health problems like diabetes and high blood pressure because of the curses that have been placed upon our families.

If you're dealing with a problem that has been passed down to you from a dysfunctional family, please don't give up hope. God is faithful to turn things around for not only you, but your family as well.

While there are strongholds in our lives, God has the power to overcome them. 2 Corinthians 10:4 reads "the weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds."

If you go to God today, he can release you from those generational curses. Just surrender your life to Him and He will grant you an entirely new life in place of the old.

God bless,
J.W.
