SERMON NOTES: FREEDOM FROM GENERATIONAL CURSES 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: (Galatians 3:13, KJV). UNDERSTANDING GENERATIONAL CURSES Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; (Exodus 20:5, KJV). Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; (Deuteronomoy 7:9, KJV). MAIN THOUGHT: The power of generational curses are broken through Jesus Christ. UNDERSTANDING THE LAWS OF GOD ILLUSTRATION: Don’t touch the wood stove or you’ll get burned. It is not mean to teach your children such lessons. Likewise there are things that you do, the will effect your generations. It doesn’t mean God is unfair. When you do wrong and rebel against God, you can cause your children to inherit curses that they don’t deserve. When you do right and and submit to God, you can cause your children to inherit blessings that they don’t deserve. Idolatry, greediness, cruelty, sexual sin, alcohol abuse, witchcraft all bring a curse upon generations. Jonathan Edwards and Max Jukes HOUSEHOLD BLESSINGS And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. (Acts 16:31, KJV). Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him. (Genesis 18:18-19, KJV). And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. (Joshua 24:15, KJV). And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. (1 Corinthians 7:13-14, KJV). Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. (Deuteronomy 28:4, KJV). Jacob imparted a success spirit to Joseph. . . Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours. (Genesis 37:3, KJV). We plant negatives or positives in our children by our attitude toward them and the Words that we speak to them. Either “You’ll never amount to anything” Or “You can do anything you put your mind to.”
