My brother bin Christ put this together i am Totally agree on what he did here that is reason i posting
Posted by Ryan on April 19th, 2011

I’ve had a lot of people ask me to put something together on the topic of “generational curses”.

My stance is simply this — that in Ezekiel 18, God did away with them and as such, they are absolutely illegal in the life of any person (Christian or not), regardless of their family history.

I cannot repent on behalf of someone else — if we could do that, we could get the whole world saved right now in 30 seconds!

“Jesus, I “plead your blood” and repent for all the sins in my nation and in all the nations around the world. Please save and forgive all those people now. In Jesus’ name, amen.”

Um…sorry everybody..but that’s not Biblical at all. Most people call that “intercession”. But it’s entirely the opposite of what the New Testament teaches.

(click ‘read more’ if you’re on my home page)

Let’s see what Paul says in Romans 10:

“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?

And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”

But not all the Israelites accepted the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?” Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. “

- Romans 10:13-17

Add to that the fact that under the New Covenant, Christ became a curse for us (Gal. 3:13) and that we are new creations in Him (2 Cor. 5:17-21) and now our bloodline goes straight to the Father (who I assure you, has no generational curses).

And to top it all off, Jesus never even remotely insinuated that any of the sick people whom He healed were sick because of the sins of their family members — the disciples may have thought this…and probably because of the verses in the Law of Moses that I will address below… (John 9:2), but Jesus quickly corrected them and said“neither this man nor his parents sinned” (John 9:3).

(More on John 9 and the popular lie that God “allowed” the man to be born blind for His glory here)

Now, before anybody flips out, I am NOT saying that “generational curses” or curses of any kind do not EXIST.

I am saying that they are entirely illegal and no amount of your repenting, confessing, fasting, praying, etc. are necessary to get rid of them. You must simply understand how illegal they are and tell that nonsense to hit the road because they are thieves and thieves only come to do three things: steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10a).

BUT JESUS came to bring us life and life abundantly (John 10:10b).

Again, I want to emphasize, that they are not just illegal for Christians.

They are illegal entirely:

“The word of the LORD came to me: “What do you people mean by quoting this proverb about the land of Israel:

“‘The parents eat sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge’?

“As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, you will no longer quote this proverb in Israel. For everyone belongs to me, the parent as well as the child—both alike belong to me.

The one who sins is the one who will die.” – Ezek. 18:1-3

The generational curse doctrine traces back to when God gave Moses the Law and it is always taken entirely out of context and denies the work of Christ on the cross:

“…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.” – Exo. 34:7b

This is one of the main verses that is used to support the doctrine of “generational curses”. The trouble is, those who teach it leave out the context of the verse which actually shows that God is GOOD. They quote half the verse and half a sentence.

Take a look:

“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..” – Exodus 34:6-7a

That paints a much different picture now doesn’t it?

Another passage that is frequently used is this:

“You shall not bow down to them or worship [idols]; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, ” – Deut. 5:9

Notice it says “of those who hate me“. So first of all, if you’re a Christian, I certainly hope you don’t “hate God”!

And also notice that there’s a comma at the end of the verse, which means it’s half of a thought as well.

Religion always quotes half a verse.

Let’s keep looking:

“but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.” – Deut. 5:10

Again, a staunchly different picture from the common teaching on generational curses and “open doors”!

Think about it like this:

If you had a TV that you bought and paid for, and you went outside to cut the grass and “left the door open” while you were outside…and then came into your house and saw a thief stealing the TV that was yours — bought and paid for — do you think the thief could hold up in court when you call the cops on him by simply saying “Well HE left a door open so I have a right to steal this TV!”

Or what if the thief told the judge, “His great, great, grand-daddy stole someone’s TV so now I have a right to steal his TV!”

Of course not. Do you see how ridiculous these doctrines are?

Nor would you care what the thief’s name was, how he got in there, or how long he’d been there.

He’s a thief.

He has no rights.

(Luke 10:19)

But again, all that to say … if you’ve had anyone in your family line who has loved God for the last thousand generations, that “generational curse” thing wouldn’t even be allowed to touch you EVEN UNDER THE LAW (which we are not because of Christ) because Deut. 5:10 says that He shows love to a thousand generations to those who love Him!

Even WITH all that being said, Ezekiel 18 abolished it altogether.

The soul who sins shall die.

The one who does not receive Christ’s atoning sacrifice for sin will not enter into eternal life.

But each person, and each person alone, is responsible for their own lives.

Which opens up an entire new can of worms on the whole “standing in the gap” for others thing…but I’ll save that for another day ;)

Or you could just watch this

Just to clarify, I am not in the camp that say “you’re healed in Jesus’ name” if the person has a tumor hanging on their neck or whatever. That’s called denial. Faith does not deny the facts. Faith defies them.

Has the payment been made and has God entirely done what He is going to do in regards to healing by sending Christ?

Absolutely.

In the same way that all the sin of the world has been forgiven (1 John 2:2) by Christ’s payment on the cross, that doesn’t mean that ‘everyone is saved’. It means the payment has been made.

So I can’t say “everyone is born again” if they aren’t. The way has been made for everyone to be born again in the same way that the way has been made for everyone to be freed from curses, demonic oppression, and physical healing.

God isn’t healing anyone today in the same way that He isn’t saving anyone today. The payment was made 2,000 years ago.

He is seated:

“But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God. Since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool, because by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.” – Heb. 10:12-14

You can’t do very much sitting down.

When Jesus said “it is finished”, He really meant it. He did His part. He is waiting on us to grow up into Christ and act like sons not slaves.

God didn’t sow a Son to reap orphan slaves who don’t know who their Father is. He sowed a Son to reap sons. He sowed THE King to reap kings (Rev. 1:6).

When people talk about “the finished work of the cross”, that is what they mean.

At least that’s what I mean when I talk about it: That God has entirely done His part and is waiting for the church to grow up.

That means that God isn’t “doing a new thing”, “releasing” new anointings or revelation, or “going to pour out His Spirit”. He already did (Acts 2:16, 33).

To say that God is “going to release” something is to directly imply that He’s been holding out on us and the generations before us. Which is entirely not true. We’ve been given everything in Christ (Eph. 1:3, 2 Peter 1:3, John 1:16, Col. 2:8-10).

Yes, I realize that directly challenges about 99% of the “prophetic words” that you’ll hear in most churches. But seriously ask yourself – how come nothing ever changes year after year when you hear those same-sounding “words from the Lord”?

Do you realize that there is not a single, solitary place in the New Testament that talks about how God is “doing a new thing” or “releasing” anything new after Christ and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost?

There is no talk of “entering a new season”, “new levels of authority”, etc. and there is especially no talk of “God’s timing” or observing the Jewish feasts or seasons other than to say “Now is the time of the Lord’s favor..today is the day of salvation” (2 Cor. 6:2). That’s good news!

It is FINISHED. You can’t get anything new…you don’t need anything new. You have Christ-in-you, the hope of glory! What else could you possibly need? You need to grow up into Christ and as you mature in your faith, you learn to use what you’ve been given.

Paul actually spoke pretty openly against the idea of observing special seasons and rituals:

“But now that you know God—or rather are known by God—how is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable principles? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again? You are observing special days and months and seasons and years! I fear for you, that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you.” – Gal. 4:9-11

God is entirely waiting on His Bride to arise and manifest Himself to the nations.

Lastly, how are His enemies made His footstool?

“The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.” – Romans 16:20

Your feet. Not His feet.

Why? Because we are His Body. He is the Head.

The Head gives the instruction. The Body is what moves.

We’ve got an entire generation of the Body of Christ trying to tell the Head that it needs to move when He told the Body to move 2,000 years ago.

Wakey, wakey…:)

Hope this helps clarify.
