From the Generation curse to
the Generation Blessing.
I will do a new thing in you. I will move you from a generation curse
to a generation blessing.
Ex 34:6
6And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, 7Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children’s children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.
20:5
….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; 6And shewing mercy
unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
Examples of children suffering for the father.
Achan.
Josh 7:
24And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the
silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters,
and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had:
and they brought them unto the valley of Achor. 25And
Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee this day.
And all
When parents make bad decisions in business.
(A) Financial.
(B) Political.
(C) Social.
Inherited disease.
Diabetes. Heart failure. Arthritics High Blood pressure. Asthma.
Etc.
This does not seem fair. And it really isn’t.
Everything I know about God
tells me that this is not fair.
When someone knows God their
life is different.
God
will turn things around.
Ezek. 18
18As for his
father, because he cruelly oppressed, spoiled his brother by violence, and did that
which is not good among his people, lo, even he shall die in his
iniquity. 19Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of
the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and
hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live. 20The
soul that sinneth, it shall die. The
son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father
bear the iniquity of the son: the
righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the
wicked shall be upon him. [2]
We can say goodbye to all inherritied disease.
I will not die from the same disease like my parents.
And it gets
even better.
Jer. 31:
29In those days they shall say no more, The
fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children’s teeth are set on edge. 30But
every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth
the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.
31Behold, the days come, saith the LORD,
that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of
Judah: 32Not according to the covenant that I made with their
fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the
land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto
them, saith the LORD:
33But this shall be the covenant that I will make with
the house of Israel; After those days, saith the
LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts;
and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Every parent wants something
better for their children. We want our
kids to have what we did not have.
It was a hideous act when the Jews called for their sins to be upon them and their children.
Matt 27
24When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that
rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the
multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to
it. 25Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be
on us, and on our children. [3]
Long after the curse is
erased some people want to go back to it.
But rejecting JESUS is the only way that someone can experience this
curse.
Accepting CHRIST cancels the
curse.
Gal 3:
13Christ 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: 14That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles
through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the
Spirit through faith.[4]
I
would like to propose a generation Blessing.
It only comes through the SPIRIT.
Acts. 2: 14But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his
voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at
Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: 15For
these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of
the day. 16But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; 17And
it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I
will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters
shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall
dream dreams: 18And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour
out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:[5]
Joel 2 :28. 28And
it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all
flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall
dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: 29And also upon the
servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit[6]
Acts 2: 39.
39For the promise is unto you, and to your
children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our
God shall call.[7]
The Generation Blessing is through the Spirit.
I present to you today
a blessing and a curse. Whatever
decision you make will not only effect you but also your children.
Choose wisely.
