And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, ‘The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.’"
Exodus 34:6-7
Generational curses are behaviors we adopt because of the environment we are brought up in.
Addictions and abuses can influence our behavior, but ultimately, we all have the choice to shake off those chains and embrace freedom in Christ.
The sins of the fathers are punished in the children through becoming the children’s own sin.
The hatred of God is the embodiment of what the father’s problem was.” Consequences for repeated sins are definitely generational.
God proclaimed to Moses in the verses above He would not leave the guilty unpunished.
Why would He want His children to continue on in deplorable habits that would bring them no true happiness or satisfaction? God so love the world, He sent His only Son to save us. (John 3:16)
He is slow to anger, always good, and He provided a way for us to break the curse of sin we are all born under.
Because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.” (Romans 8:2)
Break Generational Curses Father:
Goodness and grace define You. Abba, Father. The One True, Triune, God, glory be to You for who we are and all You have made. As our Creator and Author, You know the mountains of sin that stare us down here on earth. The curse of sin Adam and Eve ushered in is still ravaging the earth and every human bit of flesh existing in it. Yet, from the beginning of time, You made a way for us to experience freedom from the death warranted for the sin we cannot avoid. Jesus, You are the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Jesus, You freed us from every sin, curse, hex, and chain when You took on the cross. You know how we feel and faithfully walk alongside us. Holy Spirit, our comforter, we are grateful that You live in every Christ Follower. Thank You that our salvation in You, O Lord, breaks generational curses. In Christ, the power of sin and death no longer holds us, in Jesus Mighty Name.... Amen
