Every individual is responsible for their own choices
Knocking over dominoes causes a chain reaction of the next one falling until it’s stopped.
Break the cycle
Two neighbors stood side by side as they assessed the damage from the hurricane. This wasn’t their first encounter with hurricane destruction, yet no one was prepared for such record-high winds that day, and nothing was left. Everything fell.
One neighbor asked the other, “Are you going to rebuild again?” well, the neighbor said, “Yes, I’m going to rebuild my life again, but I’m stopping this cycle”.
—- a sad case of constantly rising and falling was stopped.
In the Guinness Book of Records -it was setting the largest number of dominoes to tip in a spiral arrangement. It came to 250,000. It took days to set the whole thing up and only minutes for them to tip and fall.
It has the same effects as lying.
In dominos, as they fall, they keep falling, so it is with telling a lie. One false word leads to another — the second lie is said to cover up the first — only to be followed by a third lie to justify the lying. It is just like in the Domino Theory.
The (domino theory)is the concept that if one domino strikes another, it can lead to a chain reaction where all the dominoes fall.
(as in communism, they desire to expand and spread from one country to the next)
The God we serve does not tolerate sin.
God has zero tolerance for sin.
The truth is that God sees our inward parts He knows are very thoughts.
He is tolerant toward the sinner but intolerant toward the evil that enslaves the sinner.
Romans 3:23 – “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” 1 John 1:8 – “If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” James 4:17 – “If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.”
All sin, whether secret or blatant, severe or minor, separates us from God. Jesus Christ is the only way back to God.
Escape from Bondage and the Shame
8 Therefore there is now no condemnation [no guilty verdict, no punishment] for those who are in Christ Jesus [who believe in Him as personal Lord and Savior].
We think of sins such as lying, adultery, fornicating, pornography, and any sexual sin as the only sins.
(don’t elevate yours as if it is)
What about committing inward sins such as entertaining impure thoughts, unbelief, pride, jealousy, or hatred?
And he said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him. For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”
Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
God does not condone any sin! God does not smile at sin! God can never be at peace with sin!
A generational curse comes through the bloodline.
Generational Curse involves negative patterns from your family history that are repeated sin sadly in your own life.
The Lord the Lord God is a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger and abounding in faithful love and truth, maintaining faithful love to a thousand generations, forgiving iniquity, rebellion, and sin. But he will not leave the guilty unpunished, bringing the consequences of the fathers’ iniquity on the children and grandchildren to the third and fourth generation.” (Exodus 34:6-7)
You’ve heard this “It runs in the family” passed down through the years.
There is truth in that, just like physical characteristics of height, weight, hair color, and specific physical features.
In the same way, certain types of sin can pass from one generation to the next generation. This is particularly true of addictive sin behaviors such as alcoholism, child abuse, drug addiction, anger, or suicide in families. On and on it goes. The sins of the fathers are indeed visited upon the children.
A generational curse can only be destroyed by the blood of Jesus. Through repentance and the blood of Jesus. Through the work of Jesus, your Advocate, and Intercessor, who will fully equip you to stop the cycle of every curse holding you back.
No one can make that decision for you. Not your parents, your grandparents, your aunts, uncles, spouse, children, grandchildren, or friends.
You decide.
Evil patterns start in a life by the enemy or by words, actions, and choices. They can be deeply rooted in generational bloodlines or come from an open door by rebellion, witchcraft, occult, and demonic forces of every perverted kind.
Curses and evil patterns are real, and they can block true progress in life, even death. Condoning sin means accepting sin as sin only leads to pain, destruction, and separation from God.
John 10:10 says;
10 The thief (devil) comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. Jesus said “I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance” [to the full, till it overflows].
Simply put, who’s side do you want to be on?
The enemy of our souls wants us trapped in cycles – cycles of addictions, bad decisions, bad relationships, evil thoughts, and so forth.
No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him. Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous. Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God’s seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God. By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.
Are there falimar family patterns, chronic sicknesses, extreme lack of poverty, failure, addiction, divorce, mental illness, all forms of bondage, oppression, and stagnation? Can you see these patterns?
Remember, the enemy of your soul will even help a person be successful if that keeps them in the bondage of pride and self-reliance.
But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people
To see it happen in your life and repeated in your children’s lives is like a recurring nightmare or watching from the sidelines the agonizing pattern on repeat.
Enabling someone’s sin is the same as indirectly taking part in that sin,
1 Timothy 5:22 says, “Do not participate in the sins of others.
22 Do not hurry to lay hands on anyone [ordaining and approving someone for ministry or an office in the church, or in reinstating expelled offenders], and thereby share in the sins of others; keep yourself free from sin.
Someone told me, “We can not save our children” My response “We can pray and lead by example a life of deliverance,” the right path to salvation.
You must believe Jesus to get out of these cycles. You are not trapped. He alone ✋ stops the enemy and sets you free.
So, you are no longer a victim of the cycle.
The Father God has provided a way of escape because Jesus became a curse for us on the cross.
Breaking habitual sin causes change (your action or reaction is the key). It’s breaking away from old thoughts, often lifelong habits and behaviors, and even familiar family ways that can destroy or control us.
We’ve all heard these statements: Begin the next chapter. Start from square one. Turn over a new leaf. There are a ton of different ways to express the same thought.
Psalm 51:3-4) The open confession of sin.
For I acknowledge my transgressions,
And my sin is always before me.
Against You, You only, have I sinned,
And done this evil in Your sight–
That You may be found just when You speak,
And blameless when You judge.
Sin no longer has a hold on me!
“Old things have passed away.”
“Behold all things become new.”
17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life
Sin is the only thing that separates us from God.
(Psalm 51:10-11) Restoration of heart.
Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me away from Your presence,
And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
One person takes that step towards Jesus and stands up to their sinful ways or the cover-up of a family member’s sin ( to come entirely to Jesus to effectively destroy generational curses). You can make an altar call any place when Jesus is waiting for you.
While there is a generational curse, there is also a generational blessing.
“So then, as through one trespass there is condemnation for everyone, so also through one righteous act there is justification leading to life for everyone.” (Romans 5:18)
Some of you are so grateful,
What would have happened if one of your parents hadn’t broken the cycle?
You are so thankful for their surrender and submission to the Lord through repentance of their sins and asking forgiveness of the cycle of generational sins.
Because then, if there were not repentance, it would have fallen to your seed.
That would have changed everything about some of your lives.
They stopped the domino effect.
Now, the next generations will live free of the domino effect. Yet still, each one will be accountable for their own sin.
But if their attitude toward sin would become more and more casual. This casualness would lead to warnings from God, and then if repentance does not come.
God would bring judgment.
Without repentance, the cycle would start all over again.
Christ promised to make all things new
17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life]
Hebrews 9:22 says, “According to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no remission.”
THE BLESSING Overcame the Curse. Jesus legally eliminated the curse from your life! THE BLESSING overcame the curse. “if you’re in Christ Jesus, you cannot have generational curses. We are grafted into the promises by the blood of Jesus.”
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
(Galatians 3:10) The Old Testament tells us that the Law of Moses brings a curse.
For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.”
(Galatians 3:13-14) Jesus redeems us from the curse of the law.
Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Spiritual deliverance is available to everyone who sincerely calls upon the name of the Lord (Romans 10:13).
You may need to pray this from your heart if you haven’t already repented and confessed the truth over your life.
Father God,
I surrender my life, and I submit to your authority.
I confess that I am cleansed and covered by the blood of Jesus(Yeshua)
I now confess all my sins, repent, and make a sound decision to turn to Jesus. Because of the blood of Jesus’ generational curses and strongholds, every ancestral curse is destroyed from my life.
I declare that I am a child of God and have been set free by the blood of Jesus.
Father, through the Holy Spirit, expose any hidden sins or activities working against my life,
root them out, and destroy their sources in the name of Jesus. (Yeshua)
I declare that I am putting on the whole armor of God. Ephesians 6
I’m successfully able to stand up against all the schemes and the strategies and the deceits of the devil. In Jesus’ name.
You may not have repented of the lifestyle, the pattern of what doors were opened that attached to your life.
The Bible clearly and consistently says sex is reserved for marriage. Anything outside of that is going against what God’s word says.
Jesus and Paul quote that verse and expound upon the spiritual nature of sex. Sex is not just a physical act; it’s a spiritual mingling in which two people become one.
Immoral sex is circumstantially worse than other sins because it creates a one-flesh union that uniquely defiles the body.
1 Corinthians 6:16-20 MSG
Declare this, Father God: I ask your forgiveness for my sin of ungodly soul ties and relationships I had in my life. By the blood of Jesus, destroy from me these evil connections, in Jesus’ name.
I declare that I overcome by the blood of the lamb all the fears and anxieties hindering my love and prayer life, in Jesus’ name. Lord Jesus, heal me of every emotional wound and trauma keeping me from growing in my relationship with You.
Help me to find true freedom in Your love and grace.
Holy Spirit, fill me with your power and wisdom. Help me to discern and overcome any lies and deception in Jesus’ name.
I declare today that I am an overcomer by the blood of the Lamb and the Word of my testimony. I declare that I am victorious in Christ and that nothing can separate me from the love of God, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Isaiah 41:10 – “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Philippians 4:6-7 – “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.” Psalm 147:3 – “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” Isaiah 43:18-19 – “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. Jeremiah 29:11 – “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
To get out from under the “generational curse,” you have to be grafted into a whole new family tree (Romans 11:11-24).
Generational Blessings
Family is essential to God, and it is clear that He does not think merely in terms of individuals but also in terms of generations.
For there is a generational curse
And there is also a generational blessing.
GENERATIONAL BLESSINGS
Know therefore that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and mercy with them that love Him and keep His commandments to a thousand generations (Deuteronomy 7:9).
“So then, as through one trespass there is condemnation for everyone, so also through one righteous act there is justification leading to life for everyone.” (Romans 5:18)
The free gift came to all men: Does this mean that all men are justified by the free gift? Without making a personal choice, every person received the curse of Adam’s offense.
