Identifying and Breaking Generational Curses:
Did you know that the unseen forces of Satan if directly or indirectly given the right, can hinder and restrict your spiritual success…keeping you off balance and preventing you from walking in the fullness of God’s blessings?
Ignorance is costly
Proverbs 26:2 “…the curse causeless shall not come.”
How is it that a person can be born again…forgiven of all their sins…yet live a life that is plagued by seemingly uncontrollable situations, events, and vulnerabilities that can only be described as a curse. What did Jesus do about this?
SALVATION TOOK CARE OF CURSES
A. “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”
(2 Corinthians 5:21)
B. “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)
What is Salvation?
Salvation is deliverance (freedom) from the authority and control of sin. According to the Word of God, you will be saved from enemies (Luke1:71), sin (Romans 10:1,9-10), bondage (Acts 7:25) sickness, and disease (Acts 4:12).
Definition: Salvation comes from the Greek word “Soteria” and the Hebrew word “Yshuwah”. It means deliverance, protection, preservation, prosperity, safety, soundness, healing, and the ministry of angels. Salvation, in the New Testament, refers to eternal and temporary deliverance from danger. Deliverance is a release from bondage, imprisonment and captivity.
Salvation is a gift available to all who repent (change their attitude and direction toward sin) and believe in Jesus (Roman 10:9-10) which prepares you to confess Him as your Savior and Lord.
Salvation
By limiting the definition of salvation only to being saved or born again, we have only experienced the born again process. However, when you understand the complete definition, you will see that Jesus came to release us from every yoke and bondage.
Source Scripture: Hebrews 2:3 “How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him…”
Scriptural Substitution:
“How shall we escape, if we neglect so great deliverance, protection, preservation, prosperity, safety, soundness, healing, and the ministry of angels; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him…”

Prayer to be Free from Generational Curses: Pray This Prayer Out Loud:
Heavenly Father, I come to you in the name that is above every other name. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I come to You sincerely with a desire to be free from the influence of all generational curses in my life. I declare that because of what you did for me on the cross of Calvary, I am cleansed and covered by the precious blood of Jesus and the devil has no power over me.
I now confess all of my sins, known and unknown. I repent of them right now in the Name of Jesus and ask you to forgive me and take back any jurisdiction I may have forfeited to the enemy.
I also acknowledge the sins of my forefathers. In the Name of Jesus and by the blood of the lamb, I break and renounce the power of every demonic curse that was passed down to me through the sins and actions of my forefathers. I break the power and the hold of every curse that came to me through my sins and the sins of my forefathers.
In the Name of Jesus, I break the power and hold of every curse that came to me through words spoken. I break the power and hold of every curse that came to me through disobedience-mine and my forefathers’.
In the Name of Jesus, I renounce, break, and loose myself and my family from all demonic strongholds, psychic powers, bondage, bonds of inherited physical or mental illnesses or curses upon me and my family line as a result of sins, transgressions, iniquities, occult or psychic involvement of any member of my family line, living or dead.
In the Name of Jesus, I declare every legal hold and all legal ground of the enemy broken and destroyed. Satan no longer has jurisdiction to harass me or my family line through generational curses. Through the blood of Jesus, I am free! Thank you, Heavenly Father; for setting me free!
I confess that my body, soul and spirit is the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit. I am redeemed, cleansed, sanctified, and justified by the blood of Jesus. Thank you, Heavenly Father for setting me free. I surrender my will to you. Use me during this end-time hour as a member of your victorious army to win souls for your glory.
