Revelation 22:11-14, "He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city."

Isaiah 8:20, "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them."

1 John 4:1-3, "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world."

2 John 7,9, "For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son."

Biblically we know that Satan does not want us to read the gospels because they prove who Jesus is. He does not want us to worship Jesus who is God because he wants to be God himself which is impossible.

Islam takes the focus away from Jesus who is Saviour and paid the penalty for our sins so we don't have to, to Muhammed who is a created being, cannot save anyone and is dead.

Matthew 9:10-13, "Now it happened, as Jesus sat at the table in the house, that behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Him and His disciples. And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” When Jesus heard that, He said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

In this passage, Jesus made it clear that He ate with sinners, not to tolerate their sin but to call them to repentance. Jesus' mission was to save and heal, not to ignore or condone wrongdoing.

The Pharisees criticized Him for associating with sinners, but Jesus rebuked them by quoting Hosea 6:6, "For I desire mercy and not sacrifice", meaning that God values compassion and transformation over empty religious rituals.

Jesus came to offer grace, but His grace isn't meant to be abused or misunderstood as approval of sinful behaviour. He came for the lost and broken, to lead them to repentance and a new life.

Luke 5:32 says, "I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."

Repentance is a key part of Jesus' ministry, it involves turning away from sin and toward God.

In our generation today, many misunderstand God's love as tolerance of sin. But the Bible is clear: God's love calls us to holiness.

In Revelation 3:19, Jesus says, "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent."

True love doesn't leave people in their sin; it calls them to a transformed life.

In these end times, as we wait for Christ’s return, we must remember 2 Peter 3:9, which says, "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance."

In these last days, we must not tolerate sin in the name of love but show the world the true love of Christ calling people to repentance and pointing them to the hope of salvation through Jesus Christ alone.

Romans 2:4 says, "Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?"

The kindness of God is meant to lead us away from sin, not to enable it.

Jesus ate with sinners to offer them a chance to change, to repent, and to find new life. And today, as His followers, we are called to do the same not to tolerate sin, but to share the message of hope, mercy, and repentance.

This message reminds us that the ultimate goal of God's love is not tolerance, but transformation, especially as we live in the end times, eagerly awaiting Christ’s return.

A generational curse is a curse that is passed down from one generation to the next. It can be caused by sin or disobedience.

Fact: There are chains of sin that we can inherit from our parents and grandparents. These chains can bind us and keep us from living the life God has for us.

Generational curses are mentioned throughout the Bible. Let’s look at one key verse:

"You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments" (Exodus 20:4-6).

This is why breaking the cycle of sin in our families is so important. If we don’t, our children will suffer for our mistakes.

Deuteronomy 28:15-68 contains fifty-three verses listing generational curses. Here are just a few of the symptoms of curses listed there:

~ Poverty
~ Hereditary disease
~ Divorce
~ Child abuse
~ Sexual abuse
~ Domestic violence
~ Alcoholism
~ Drug addiction
~ Immorality
~ Adultery
~ Perversion
~ Depression
~ Confusion
~ Fear
~ Indecision
~ Panic attacks
~ Mental illness
~ Suicide
~ Destructive attitudes and behaviours

Each of these can be, but are not always, the result of a generational curse, and most have their root in idolatry and iniquity.

Many people, if not most, can identify some of these symptoms that have passed on from generation to generation. How about you? When you look at your family tree, do you see a pattern of any of these things?

Do you struggle with a particular sin and see a history of that sin in past generations? Maybe you’ve been told that the depression or fear you deal with runs in the family or perhaps you struggle with marital infidelity and can identify a pattern of affairs and divorce going back to a parent and grandparent. These could be symptoms of a generational curse.

Essential Steps for Breaking Generational Curses.

There are many ways to break free from a generational curse.

1. Prayer and fasting.
Prayer and fasting are essential keys to breaking generational curses.
In Matthew 17:21, Jesus said, “However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”
Fasting breaks the stronghold of the enemy in our lives. When we deny ourselves food, it weakens our flesh and allows the Holy Spirit to have more control. The enemy does not like this because he knows his power is broken when we fast.

2. Confession and repentance.
Confession and repentance are also important keys to breaking generational curses.
In James 5:16, we are told, “Therefore, confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”
We need to confess our sins to God .
Generational curses cannot be broken without confession and repentance.

3. Renouncing the curse and sin.
Renouncing the curse means rejecting it and declaring that it has no power over us. We do this by speaking out loud and declaring that we are no longer under the curse of generational sin.

Renouncing the sin means that we turn away from it and reject it as part of our lives. We repent of the sin and ask God to forgive us. We also ask Him to help us turn away from the sin and live a life that is pleasing to Him.

Break the cycle of sin means that you make a conscious decision to break the cycle of sin in your life. You can do this by making different choices than your parents or grandparents made.

4. Forgiveness.
Forgiveness is an important part of breaking free from generational curses. We need to forgive those who have hurt us in order to be set free from the pain they have caused.

5. Cut demonic influence & break soul ties.
Breaking soul ties means that we sever any spiritual connection with the people or things associated with the generational curse. This includes anything from family members to objects.

Cutting off demonic influence means removing anything in our lives that gives the enemy a foothold. This includes things like drugs, alcohol, pornography, and anything else that is not of God.

6. Read the Bible & claim your inheritance.
Claim your inheritance means you claim God’s promises for your life. He has promised to bless us and give us life abundantly. We can claim these promises by faith.

By taking these steps, we can break the generational curses that have been holding us back. We can live lives that are free from the bondage of sin and full of the joy and peace that comes from walking with God.

Bottom line- Generational curses are real, and they need to be dealt with in order to break free from them.
The good news is that generational curses can be stopped today!

The Blood of Jesus.
Hebrews 9:22 tells us, “According to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no remission.”

Here are two basic principles you need to know:
1) A generational curse comes through the blood line.

2) A generational curse can only be cancelled by blood.
It Is all about the blood of Jesus Christ. In Romans 3:23-25, we read, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed.”

Yes, generational curses can be broken. To break generational curses, you must be willing to rewrite your story.

You can’t change the past. But with intentional consistent actions. You have the power to influence your future generations.

Generational curses are real, but so is the power of God. With Him, we can overcome any curse. So don’t give up hope! Trust in the Lord and lean on His strength as you walk through this difficult journey. He will never leave you or forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6).
