Breaking Generational Patterns Through Christ's Power

"all of us bear the DNA of our mothers and fathers they have transferred physiologically their makeup we regularly talk about how a child looks like that but you look just like your mother you look just like your father our DNA determines the color of our skin our racial makeup the shape of our features we are reflections of the life of our parents physically and we give to our own children our DNA it's the way biology works you would not expect anything different than a child to bear the marks of their parents the physical DNA is not the only thing that gets transferred there is a spiritual DNA that transfers as well this is an unseen reality that passes between parents and children grandparents parents and children that leads to generational consequences" [00:00:20]

"these patterns transferred from one generation to another create spiritual scars on our lives scars that are reflected and then we pass them on usually unbeknown it's usually not planned but it is very real to our children when I talk about generational consequences as opposed to generational curses I'll explain in a moment I am talking about the negative repercussions of the in coke aiding of sinful patterns that we've picked up across generations these negative patterns create negative results in our lives and in our world" [00:02:05]

"God is a generational God I am the God he says of Abraham Isaac and Jacob generations it goes on and on he thinks generationally Psalm 145 it says that you might one generation shall praise your name to another generation you'll see this word generation all through scripture because God created the human race to generate but with the generation that only comes the opportunity for life it becomes the transfer of spiritual as well as physical DNA" [00:08:19]

"God says don't use that proverb anymore don't blame mother and father for what you do you have to stick with me on that mother and father may have transferred it Illustrated it demonstrated it amplified it but you took it on by choice in other words don't use what somebody else did in a previous generation as an excuse for you to keep it going he says I am the god of the Father verse 4 the soul of the father his mind the soul of the son of so it is the one who sins that shall die" [00:11:00]

"so if you are messed up like your mama and daddy were messed up it's because you chose to adopt their mess now I hear the objections I hear the objections I don't think that's fair that's fair because if I was raised this way brought up this way learn this way observe this way why am I being held responsible for them he says don't use this proverb don't use this excuse is another way of saying that we all know that the definition of insanity is repeating same oh- patterns and expecting a different result" [00:12:00]

"the death of Jesus Christ broke the curse of the law he says in order that God might give you the spirit watch this now this is the most important feature it is the spirits job if you've accepted Christ because those are the only ones that have the spirit it is the spirits job to make happen what the law says should happen but doesn't have the power to make happen the spirits job is to make happen what the law requires the law requires it so you need to know what's required but the law can't help you do it" [00:36:21]

"the spirits job is to bring the promises of God into your life verse 16 of chapter 5 of Galatians but I say to you walk by the spirit and you will not carry out the desires of the flesh for the flesh sets its desire against the spirit the spirit against the flesh for these are in opposition to one another so that you may not do the things that you please for if you are led by the spirit you are not under neath the law" [00:38:50]

"he says the two are in opposition to one another but here's what he says if I can get you to walk in the spirit I'll explain at the moment you will not act out the desires of the flesh don't miss read that he doesn't say you won't have the desires of the flesh a big difference because a lot of people feel bad because they still want to do wrong he says no no the spirits job is to give you the ability to override the flesh even if the flesh still wants to do wrong" [00:40:18]

"those who walk in the spirit meaning every single time that desire comes up you are to invite the spirits power to override it so you are in movement with the spirit whenever it comes up and it's going to come up depending upon how deep you're into it whatever the addiction or the sin or the circumstance in its going to keep coming up Lord right now I desire to do that which is outside of the will of God but because you broke the curse on the cross I now invoke the Holy Spirit to give me the ability right now to override" [00:44:24]

"when you turn by means of the Spirit who gives you power to override the cry of the flesh once you turn and return you are switching attributes you are relating to see when you were over here in disobedience you were under eyes but once you turn and return you're now located under mercy you're turning hasn't changed God he still got wrath he still got justice but you're no longer operating under that you have turned and when you turn you're not operating under his mercy and under his grace which frees him up to relate to you from over there instead of over here" [00:49:30]

"so the question is is it time to break the cycle to say God I don't care what mom and daddy did what grandma and daddy did That's not me now and I'm not gonna be to lock in to that mess that's been I've inherited cuz you've given me something to break the curse by the blood of Jesus" [00:50:08]

"the death and resurrection of Jesus broke the curse of the law freeing us from the authority of sin and the devil while Satan still possesses power his authority over us has been broken the Holy Spirit given to those who accept Christ empowers us to overcome the desires of the flesh and live according to God's will walking in the Spirit means continuously inviting the Spirit's power to override our sinful desires allowing us to break free from the patterns we've inherited" [00:33:48]
