Breaking Free: Understanding Generational Curses in Christ

"you are created in God's likeness in His image no matter how depressed you might be young adult if you hear this later or somebody thinking about taking their life you are committed you are you're created in the image of God in the likeness about every single person that's why we have a real big problem with abortion because it's not up to us to determine who lives and who dies that is innocent that we're created in God's image so God said let us make man in our image now what exactly that means good luck on that one as well right people said body soul and spirit" [00:03:13]

"so man creating God's image is have dominion like God has dominion he gave us a lower level obviously of dominion over his creation that's why animals and trees and men man is not that we're not the same you know the New Age movement and we're all gods in all of us and the the you know we need to protect the spotted owl as much the aborted fetus and all these things we don't see that we see there's that there's a domination not being evil but to Stuart it's funny because people say Christians why are you concerned about the environment I'm very concerned about the environment" [00:04:20]

"the most important aspect of living your life on this planet is to have a relationship with the Living God that's the most important thing can you imagine let I think of these guys who died and they're famous a sea famous agnostic sore they curse God and or even different religions who truly know they live their whole life however long that was without a relationship with the Living God that that's the most important aspect of life so let's talk about this for a minute man is body the doctrine of man man is body soul and spirit here we go" [00:08:56]

"if we allow say addictions to control our attitude and productivity productivity will it hinder what we do for God yes it will when we're always dealing with stress anxiety and sickness can we do much for God so I believe personally that one of the ways the enemy attacks us is in our body because no matter what you believe I think we can all agree that as a child of God the enemy is going to go after our productivity he could care less if you come to church on Sunday you sit here you hear this you go home you have lunch" [00:11:31]

"so the enemy will go after you in these ways so she saw it she took of it and she gave it to her husband and he ate then the eyes of both of them were open and they knew that they were naked and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings so they died spiritually not physically yet right they died spiritually now interesting topic we also believe many people believe that at this point something happened in the DNA of man something triggered where now man was no longer to live eternally with God but now sin disease entered right" [00:27:34]

"so here's what happens sin is passed down sin is passed down it is the Adamic nature the sin of the father is passed down but the curse on us is broken when a person believes so I don't believe a Christian has to deal with and say oh generational curses my grandfather my dad however I do believe that there's a propensity to sin in that area is there not often what your father struggled with or your mother struggle with do we struggle at the same things it's often passed down sometimes it's not I me a person will see a" [00:36:31]

"so to answer the question is there a Jenner as there a curse that's being passed now from Adam absolutely well what's the point of the cross but Christian Shin get all worked up in this and say oh it's a generational curse I got to keep breaking I got to keep breaking it might be a stronghold in your life it might be a predisposition to sin in this area but you're not cursed of God the Adamic nature has been passed down but as a believer you don't have to come could I've seen so many Christians but Shane I think it's my generational curse" [00:37:44]

"so let me answer the question before we run out of time generational curses is there a generational curse well let's read the Bible the Bible mentions generational curses in Exodus 20 numbers 34 X is 20 X is 34 numbers 14 Deuteronomy 5 basically God says this God warned that he is a jealous God he said I am a jealous God punishing the children for the sins of the fathers to the 3rd and 4th generation that's what have you ever heard that for each and read and different things and people you say hey it says it says change it's like you" [00:34:23]

"so the spirit then is number three this refers to our interaction with God body soul spirit heart all these things this refers the spirit refers to our our relationship with God now you want to get a little bit more technical a little bit more confusing here's another word pneuma that's the word for spirit so you got Numa cardia su ke and nefesh Greek Hebrew all these they're all different words and this is Newmont that's where we get the word pneumatic right for pneumatic tools it's of the air it means pneumatology to study the holy spirit so we're" [00:20:00]

"so you have to use wisdom here and then the HDL the high density lipids what are known as a good guy supposedly go and they pull those away from the arteries to help clean that area so this is just an area have to use wisdom and have to use caution in but do God mess up why is it called bad food and said about cholesterol because that's how it works and there's something you'll probably hear often oxidation oxidation or oxidative stress have you heard that term lately oxidative stress free radicals right all these things what they mean is the bad" [00:41:44]

"so this is just an area have to use wisdom and have to use caution in but do God mess up why is it called bad food and said about cholesterol because that's how it works and there's something you'll probably hear often oxidation oxidation or oxidative stress have you heard that term lately oxidative stress free radicals right all these things what they mean is the bad guys are winning the body is in such a toxic state that now it's being these these free radicals are being released damages being done to the body and this damage is done to the heart" [00:42:44]

"so how do we deal with the Kirsch ain't well I want you to listen to last week's message making a stronghold week if you weren't there how you deal with the curse as a believer is you constantly go to Christ you you get a heart of worship you get in the Word of God this is amazing there's a correlation here many people I'm not gonna say everybody don't throw that on me again but most people that I talked to who are struggling with kirt with with with whatever it is sin and and these things tell me about your devotional life tell me about how" [00:51:13]
