17.2 Curses
righteous person. Sin opens the door (primarily disobedience) for a curse to settle on a person. Generational curses are curses in which a parent or ancestral parent that we are in direct lineage of, has sinned and opened a door for it to be passed on from one generation to the next. Usually there is some type of display or manifestation in the natural realm, indicating what the curse is, through a person’s behavior. No matter how pronounced the manifestation is, it needs to be dealt with through repentance. A curse without a cause cannot settle on a righteous person or a person free of sin. Curses are clearly spoken of in the Bible and just because the Word tells us Jesus became a curse on a tree for us does not mean we can’t still get a curse actively working in our lives. We either get curses through our sin or when we get into sin, a curse spoken of by others gets attached to us after we sin, actively affecting us. We need to repent immediately! These things really do affect our thoughts and the thought processes of our mind more than we tend to realize! With generational curses, we also repent for our own sins and also the sins of our ancestors. No matter the sin, and no matter the type of curse, we need to ask the Lord to take it and break it from us. Then we are appropriating and applying what Jesus did for us by going to the cross and becoming a curse for us.
