"Now you've been uh distributed a handout and I want to say just a word about that as I was looking through the notes this morning, I noticed that they were just not as complete as they should be on the basic outline that we'll be looking at as the Lord gives us time, and so you'll want to look at that side of it but I was especially concerned that you have the other side a doctrinal prayer to break generational curses of evil. This is a very very important document and I would urge you, this one happens to be written with a view to my own evidences in my family lineage of some generational strongholds you may add your own list to those that you see in your family lineage." [00:58:58]

"In Exodus 20. you shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in Heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. We were hearing about idols in the last session and that is a unique Open Door for powers of evil to trouble us you shall not bow down to them or worship them for I the Lord your God am a jealous God and this is the startling part of the generational lineage punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me." [00:39:35]

"But the second part is the exciting part but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my Commandments, and that's the Heritage we all want to build in our generation, and I've been determined to watch over my family to carry on some of the blessings that have come to me from previous generations and to seek to be a protector and a covering for my children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and I prayed on Down the Line a little ways not knowing how soon our Lord's going to come but it's just a wonderful thing to keep the covering of the blessing of God upon your generational lineage." [00:56:43]

"Therefore prepare your minds for action and here's where oh by the way I was so thrilled that Marcus Warner taught us so well on the flesh I tried to teach yesterday and somehow it just never seemed to even the equipment rebelled but uh we got through it and but that was tremendous teaching this morning and I was so thrilled to hear it but here we read be self-controlled set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed and you see God is not finished with what he's doing yet but when Jesus Christ is revealed that's kind of the consummation of our salvation." [01:42:08]

"For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers you see Heritage is important it's important that you understand something about your heritage and we'll be talking about that a little more as we proceed but know that that flowed to you much influence from your forefathers but with the precious blood of Christ a lamb without blemish or defect he was chosen before the creation of the world but was revealed in these last times for your sake through him you believe in God who raised him from the dead and glorified him and so your Faith and Hope are in God." [01:54:21]

"Renouncing generational strongholds involves identifying patterns of sin and seeking God's guidance in breaking them. This process may involve spiritual warfare, but it is essential for experiencing true freedom and healing. I find that immensely helpful in counseling people to urge them to make a list of the generational sins that the holy spirit will help them see in their own family lineage by looking at their own life by looking at their parents and grandparents it's amazing what you can come up with." [02:40:56]

"Now you'll notice the Practical insights this is important I don't have time to cover this but let me just say that when we're talking about generational sin issues it's a very sensitive delicate subject and their outstanding Bible commentators who really um sort of get their back up when they hear us talking like I'm talking to you this morning and uh don't argue with people just you know speak out of the truth of the scripture on the word and so this is just a caution of how that you approach this whole issue and some suggestions about renouncing generational strongholds in your own family." [02:31:11]

"By the way the Masonic influence in our nation is is very very strong I'll not ask you to slip your hand up how many of you might have Masonic influences in your family but I know in a group this size there'd be several that's a rather serious consequence because there's so much about the Masonic system that is a very cultist and entering into Oaths and even pronouncing cursed on yourself and all of that somehow needs to be dealt with this is material that came to our attention a number of years ago from an organization in New Zealand." [03:06:18]

"Generational blessings are already evident as you begin to study this whole area of generational blessings. Bridget's grandfather was a Lutheran Evangelical gospel preaching man and when my son-in-law was walking down the street don't think the prayers of that great grandfather of his didn't affect that young man who suddenly saw the emptiness of the life he was living in rebellion in drugs in sin and he knew there was something different and God opened his heart to want to hear the gospel and so generational blessings were flowing and so it's just wonderful to recognize the importance of that." [05:11:20]

"Ultimately, the message is one of hope and encouragement. By understanding and addressing our generational heritage, we can break free from the chains of the past and embrace the blessings God intends for us and our descendants. This journey requires faith, prayer, and a commitment to living in obedience to God's Word. There are tremendous generational blessing and I should mention at this point that um the generational blessings are already evident." [05:10:36]

"Practical steps were discussed, including the importance of renouncing generational strongholds and breaking curses. This involves a sensitive approach, recognizing the spiritual battles that may arise, as illustrated by personal experiences shared. The story of my son-in-law's family highlighted the power of prayer and the transformation that can occur when generational curses are broken and blessings are embraced." [05:00:00]

"God Honors that and I'm happy to share with you that the law of four of the grandchildren in that family love the Lord and serving him and two of them are right at Biola now the twins and this summer The granddaughter and by the way she's the one I mentioned with the anger problem she went as a missionary to Africa and when she came home she said to her mother and dad I love the African people I think I may go back there as a missionary someday so God is at work in a wonderful way." [05:06:20]
