5 Types Of Generational Curses And There Biblical Remedies

In Life, there are two powerful forces that is at work in the life of individuals, they are Blessings and Curses, you are either walking under a blessing or you are walking under a curse. Today we shall be examining 5 types of generational curses and their biblical remedies. The purpose of this article is to open your eyes to see the primary source of the problems most people face in life. The greatest tragedy in life is to be under a curse and not know it. Before we go into today’s article properly, I will love us to see the definition of blessings and curses. When a thing is not properly defined, it cannot be understood, and it takes a proper understanding of a thing to master it. This article will not only open your eyes to see your problems, it will also show you the solutions to your breakthrough in the name of Jesus Christ.

What Is A Blessing And A Curse?

The word blessing or to be blessed and curses are two of the most misunderstood words in the body of Christ. A lot of people associate blessings to earthly riches and possessions. They believe that if you are rich and successful, you are blessed, while if you are poor and broke then you are cursed or at least not blessed. But a closer look at the scriptures, we see that, that is not the absolute truth.

Now what is the biblical definition of Blessing, or to be blessed? To be blessed means to be recognized and accepted by God. To expand this definition, let us look at the bible in Luke 10:17-20. We see the story of the disciples of Jesus Christ telling Jesus with excitement how that devils where subject to them while they were on outreach, Jesus responding to them told them how He watched satan fall from heaven like lightening, and He also went on to tell them about their authority over the devil and his demons. But more importantly is verse 20, which is the verse I want to draw your attention to, Jesus told them that having power over the devil is not worth rejoicing over, but having your names written in heaven is worth rejoicing over.

Child of God, to be blessed means to be known by God and accepted by Him. Blessings can attract riches, but blessings is not measured by riches. You can be blessed and be poor, like Lazarus, (John 16:20) and also be blessed and be rich like papa Abraham (Genesis 13:2).

Also you can be rich and be cursed like the rich man in the bible (Luke 16:20-24) and also be poor and be cursed like achan the thief in the book of Joshua 7:1. A lot of believers today have been led to think that because they are broke, they are not blessed, that is a lie from the pit of materialism. To be blessed is a spiritual word, and it cannot be measured with material and canal entities. To be rich or poor is a product of life choices, it has nothing to do with whether you are blessed or cursed. There are many evil men today that are billionaires and many poor men today also who are evil, the same goes with good people, some of them are rich, many of them are not.

Now let us go to curses. What is a curse? A curse is said to occur when someone becomes a victim of an evil pronouncement. A curse is also said to occur when someone deliberately involves him or herself into something that can trigger a curse that is an evil pronouncement. Curses are generational; this means if they are not reversed or broken, they can pass down from one generation to another. Shortly now we will be going into 5 different types of generational curses and how to break free from them through the help of God.

Stage Three: Demons must be driven out

Stage three is when strong enough demons are encountered that are not leaving automatically and must be driven out. Even after a demon’s legal grounds have been removed, they often do not leave on their own. Some of the lesser demons may, but it’s not that common for a stronger demon to pack up and leave on it’s own. This is why Jesus made it clear that there is a need for the deliverance ministry (Mark 16:17). If demons automatically left a person when they accepted Jesus, then why did Jesus tell us to cast out demons? The solution to demonic bondages would instead be just to accept Jesus and the demons automatically leave. The problem is, it doesn’t work like that in real life, and that’s why we there are times when it’s necessary to drive out demons. Jesus referred to the casting out of demons as children’s bread, which means it’s not even for un-believers, but for us believers.

Prayer and fasting: Some demons are so strong that not only is it necessary to cast them out, but a higher then usual level of faith, which is only obtained through prayer and fasting, is required when getting them out. After the disciples tried to cast out a stronger demon(s) and were unsuccessful, Jesus told them that there are some demons that will come out by nothing by prayer and fasting (which builds one’s faith to the high levels that is required when casting some demons out). Mark 9:29, “And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.”

Understand your authority: As children of God, we are given authority over all powers of the enemy. Some people wonder why the demons seem to ignore them, sometimes it’s because that person doesn’t have enough faith in their authority and the demon is strong enough to resist what little authority that person is exercising. The more faith in your authority you have, the more of your authority you will be able to use. It is therefore important to understand and stand firm on the authority that God has given you.

Binding and loosing: Binding is like spiritual handcuffing. It’s temporary and it’s very useful when a demon starts manifesting and you aren’t ready to actually cast it out (let’s say you are winding down a deliverance session and you need your sleep, and the demon(s) begin to manifest and raise their ugly heads). Or perhaps, the demon is interfering with the deliverance and it needs to be bound. Another good use of binding, is to bind the evil spirits that are preventing a person from accepting Jesus.

Loosing is when a captive is loosed from something. For example, in Luke 13:12, Jesus loosed the women who was bound by Satan and had the issue of blood for 18 years.

Identifying the demon by it’s name: If you are privileged to know the name of the demon(s) you are facing, it is very helpful to cast it out by it’s name. For example, “Spirit of lust, come out in the name of Jesus!” If somebody yells out “Hey you!” in a crowd, would you respond? Likely you wouldn’t even pay attention to them. But if they yelled “Hey Bob!” (providing that was your name), they would have your attention in no time. Same is true when dealing with demons, which is why it is so helpful to know their name when dealing with them.

Casting it out: Contrary to what many may think, there’s nothing magical about this step. It’s a matter of standing on your authority and commanding the evil spirit (by name if possible) to leave in the name of Jesus.

Demon groupings: Often, demons will group, and there will be a strong man. The strong man could be hate, while the lesser demons could consist of anger, bitterness, jealousy, envy, etc. Sometimes it is better to cast out the strong man first, and therefore the lesser demons give you little or no hassle in wanting to leave, while other times it is better to get rid of the lesser demons first, and therefore the leader can no longer draw power from them and it makes it easier for the leader to be cast out. This is a more complicated area of deliverance, and is best led by the Holy Spirit. Always pray and ask for the Holy Spirit’s guidance whenever attempting a deliverance.

Unholy vows

James 5:2, “But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.” Any unholy vows you have made need to be repented of (Leviticus 5:4-6), and renounced (taken back) and broken in the name of Jesus.

Generational curses

The sins of your ancestors can also attribute to your spiritual bondages and troubles (Exodus 20:5). The remedy to break this, is to repent on behalf of your ancestors for their sins (Nehemiah 9:2), and to break any curses (in the name of Jesus) that may have come upon you as a result of their actions.

Spoken curses

Your words have the power of life and death (Proverbs 18:21), and if you have said something that has bound your soul (such as declaring, “I’ll never amount to anything” or “I want to die”), then you should repent of it and take it back (renounce it out loud). Matthew 12:37, “For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.”

Cursed objects

Deuteronomy 7:26, “Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.” Cursed objects such as idols, occult books, rings, etc. can bring a curse upon your life and your home. Land can also be cursed as a result of the sins of it’s inhabitants (Leviticus 18:27).

It is Biblical to burn occult or cursed objects. Deuteronomy 7:25, “The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire… for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God.” It’s also evident in the NT as well, Acts 19:19, “Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men…” Ezekiel 20:7, “Then said I unto them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.”

Unholy soul ties

1 Corinthians 6:16, “What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.” When two people become very close, especially though sexual relationships, soul ties are formed. If the soul tie is unholy, it can serve as a demonic spiritual bridge between the two persons. This can allow the demons tormenting one person to torment the other person. These soul ties should be renounced and broken in Jesus’ name and the sins which have caused the soul ties should be repented of and forsaken. Also, if any gifts or objects (rings, personal gifts, etc.) were given to you from the person whom you may have had an adultery or committed similar sins with, they should be sold or destroyed. Even a harmless thing like a watch can hold a soul tie together formed from an adultery, fornication or a similar sin.

Unconfessed sins

If you confess your sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us (1 John 1:9), but if you hide your sins, you are giving the enemy ground in your life (Proverbs 28:13). Act 3:19, “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.”

Unforgiveness

Unforgiveness is one of the biggest tools the devil uses against God’s people. It not only cuts us off from God’s forgiveness (Mark 6:15), but it also turns you over to the tormenters (Matthew 18:23-35), which are demons. You give demons legal grounds in your life when you are bitter and unforgiving against others. Unforgiveness is a sin which can defile a person (Hebrews 12:15). Unforgiveness in itself is a sin which should be repented of.
