BAD BLOOD
What would make three brothers kidnap three girls, lock them up in
ropes and chains, and torture them for ten years?
The devil and bad blood, that’s what. When Adam sinned and turned
his back on God, the bloodline of all mankind was affected. The tendency toward
sin literally got into his blood and was passed from generation to generation.
Adam sinned and his son Cain became the first murderer. Many of
the people who are members of the Satanic church, and other Satanic groups
claim that they are the progeny of Cain, believing that Eve had sex with the
devil and Cain was the offspring. These committed followers believe that as
progeny of Cain they have a right and calling to worship Satan, a worship that
involves child sacrifice among other truly evil practices,
It’s hard to imagine some of the horrible things we hear about.
Many of these evils are passed from generation to generation. “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” (Ex. 34: 7).
There are lots of different kinds of generational curses, some
more notorious than others. There is a way we can recognize them and all but
one generational curse is curable and eraseable. The only sin that cannot be
turned around is when a person sells their soul to the devil, and they get
"born" of the seed of Satan. Spiritual seed from God is everlasting
and seed from the devil is also everlasting. Spirit doesn’t die.
Recognizing a generational curse is the first step to deliverance
from it. Deuteronomy 28:15-68 lists many of the generational curses that are
still in existence to this day. Take time to read it this week.
In our own times we see molested children sometimes becoming the
molesters when they get older. We see children of alcoholic parents becoming
alcoholics themselves. Other examples of generational curses are stealing,
uncontrollable lying, drug abuse, eating disorders, other addictions including
codependent relationships, erroneous thinking about finances, irrational fears,
physical sicknesses and diseases, inexplicable early deaths, mental problems,
just to name a few.
When we read the Bible, we can see certain bad thinking and bad
habits passed from father to son, mother to daughter, etc. Sometimes you’ll see
that a curse skips a generation and comes roaring back to a grandchild. The Old
Testament is full of examples of generational curses:
“And
he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him: and his
heart was not perfect with the Lord his God” (1 Kings 15:3).
“And Nadab the son of Jeroboam
began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned
over Israel two years. And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in
the way of his father” (1 Kings 15:25-26).
King David lusted after Bathsheba and even had her husband killed
so he could have her. Then Solomon, his son, “loved many strange women: of the
nations concerning which the Lord said, ‘Ye shall not go in to them, neither
shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after
their gods:’ Solomon clave unto these in love. And he had seven hundred wives.
And Solomon did evil in the sight of the Lord, and went not fully after the
Lord” (1 Kings. 11:1-3, 6).
But these evils that keep attacking God’s people throughout their
lives, can all be overcome. God made a way to supernaturally cleanse the sin
that causes bad blood.
The answer is Jesus. Because He shed His perfect blood, we receive
redemption when we accept Him into our hearts. Our spiritual blood flow is
without the curses that came before. It is up to us to accept it. We have to
get strong against the devil’s forces that want us to accept our lives with all
the bad we seem to be stuck with.
But we’re not stuck with it; God sent Jesus as a savior for us. He
can supernaturally wipe away all generational curses.
“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt
call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their
sins”(Matt. 1:21).
We have to first read God’s Word to convince ourselves, and then
tell the devil and his evil forces what we now believe the truth: “Christ hath
redeemed us from the curse” (Gal. 3:13).
We keep reading the scriptures and let the truth enter our hearts
and change them from the inside out. Only the spirit of God can get in between
the cracks of our brains, our other organs, our souls, to repair, heal, restore,
and create the new being God intended for us to be.
Every change is a miracle at the cellular level, no matter how
long it takes. And God is a miracle-working God.
Love, Carolyn
