Breaking Generational Curses (Part 1)

When people hear the term “generational curses” they start thinking spooky. However, that kind of thinking can keep you and your family in chains.

Here’s the simplest way to explain it: A generational curse is a repeated sin tendency that passed from one generation to the next.

My paternal family has a history of drug addiction and crime. It caused my dad his life at age 51 and it also caused me to be more susceptible to certain types of behaviours and patterns.

When I got saved, I made a decision to break the curse in my generation so my children would never be defeated by the sins or iniquity of family members that are long gone.  This is a serious topic. It’s not a cute Sunday School lesson.

Do you know your family history? Are you hurting your kids because you were hurt? Do you lie easily the way your mom did? Regardless of your situation, if you are a Believer, then according to John 8:36, God has set you free.

In a few days, I’ll post a great video from a dynamic woman of God who shares about this topic.  Tell your family and friends about it and get ready!

Shedding Shame

Recently I did a presentation in front of some “important” people. It was interesting because I had everything planned out perfectly. However, as God would have it the presentation turned out differently. The Lord wanted me to share something personal with the audience that I did NOT want to share. In fact, as it got closer to my presentation time, I privately struggled with “sharing my business.”

I battled with feeling ashamed that people would look down on me or think differently about who they thought I was in Christ.  

I asked myself the question before standing up. Do I really care what people think? To a certain degree I do care.  However, I care much more about what God thinks. I knew I had to do what He wanted. He required I “shed my shame and go for it!” The room was silent. Did it work? I don’t know.

I do know one thing. Time will only tell whether or not my story made an impact on the people in the room. Even if it didn’t impact them… it sure impacted me.
