How do you remove a generational curse from your life?

Christian perspective.

Christ has utterly and absolutely secured redemption from the curse (generational or otherwise) for everyone who believes in Him (utterly trusts in, relies on and depends on Him for salvation from sin and death, including all earthly ills.)

Beware of "men of God" that are always pointing at curses as the reason for any hitch in your life. Proverbs 26:2 says:

"An undeserved curse will be powerless to harm you. It may flutter over you like a bird, but it will find no place to land."

Before God's Grace (Christ Himself) found us, we all deserved the curse because the curse comes with trying to keep the law (human striving at attaining godliness) in order to get right with God: Galatians 3:10-

"But those who depend on the law to make them right with God are under His curse, for the Scriptures say, “Cursed is everyone who does not observe and obey all the commands that are written in God’s Book of the Law.”"

No one can obey ALL the commands in God's Book of the Law so all of us deserved the curse. All have sinned.... But in Christ, we are not under law but under Grace-

"For sin shall not have dominion over you for you are not under law but under grace." Romans 6:14.

This verse is the message of the cross; Christ's message. But many preach it backwards and say that sin will have dominion over you if you follow Grace. There is a reason for this as we see in 1 Corinthians 1:18-

"For the message of the cross is foolishness [absurd and illogical] to those who are perishing and spiritually dead [because they reject it], but to us who are being saved [by God’s grace] it is [the manifestation of] the power of God."

To our's natural reasoning, there is nothing illogical about trying to obey the law in order to be godly…to be like God. In fact, this is the doctrine that is being preached in many places of worship. Understand that this is the same reasoning that Satan posited to Eve in Eden- that one can be godly (be like God) by doing something through human strength aka arm of flesh. See the typology of the forbidden fruit as a picture of the law that many are feeding on to make them godly in Romans 7:8-12 - The Message. It seemed good to Eve to ddepend on the tree of the knowledge of good and evil for godliness, just as it seems good to many churchgoers who depend on their ability to obey the law to make them godly (be like God.) Many who want to enter the realm of heaven's kingdom see this wide gate and this broad road as the way, but in reality, it is the way that seems right to man but its end is the way of death- Proverbs 14:12-

“There is a way which seems right to a man and appears straight before him, but at the end of it is the way of death.”

Beloved of God, by Grace, let's not be found on this broad road (depending on the law for godliness) that leads to destruction. The letter kills. The message of the cross is ALL about salvation, including salvation from every curse, by God's Grace (undeserved, unearned, unmerited favour.) Beloved of God, God's Grace is a Person. His name is Jesus Christ. Titus 2:11 says of Him:

"God’s marvelous grace has manifested in person, bringing salvation for everyone."

Verse 14 of the same Titus 2 says: "He gave His life to free us from every kind of sin, to cleanse us, and to make us His very own people, totally committed to doing good deeds."

Under law (trying to be godly by human striving) is where generational and other curses abound. Under Grace who is Christ Himself, we who believe have been utterly redeemed from the curse of the law: see this in verse 13 of the same Galatians 3 where God's word says that "those who depend on the law to make them right with God are under his curse," - Galatians 3:13-14:

"13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), 14 that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith."

Believer, before Grace (Christ) found us, all we had was generational and other curses which we very much deserved for our sins and those of our fathers. But under Grace, we have been redeemed from the curse by Grace Himself- Jesus Christ. None of us deserve this gift of redemption and the blessings of Abraham that follow; and it absolutely FREE for all who believe in Jesus (putting no confidence in human effort and utterly trusting, relying and depending on Christ in every facet of life.)

It is sad that most churchgoers first hear of "their" generational or other curse from church pastors who should be preaching the Good News of our redemption from every curse by our Saviour Jesus Christ.

Believer in Christ, you see that curse that those curse-wielding "Daddies in the Lord" subtly try to slap on you with their generic "May every curse in your life be broken in Jesus' name" prayers? They are saying that Christ has not redeemed you from the curse! But He has!One popular pastor posted this prayer on his Facebook page-

"Almighty God I present my family to you today, please intervene, let there be peace,let there be joy,break every yoke,erase every curse and just let all be well in Jesus name."

This prayer seems harmless enough. Some might even call it good. But notice the subtle implication that believers in Christ are still living under the curse and need curses to be erased from their lives? This prayer seems godly but in reality, it is antichrist: Christ says in Him, you are Redeemed from the curse. But this anti-Christ prayer implies that some curses are still existing in the life of a believer! As if you have to beg God who so loves us to free you from the curse that He FREELY gave His own Son to free us from; as if our loving Heavenly Father is reluctant to save! It says: "No, you are not redeemed unless you do something by your own human strength in order to be free from the curse" aka in order to “be like God" who has no curse.

This false teaching permeates every facet of life and not just beliefs about generational or other curses, e.g.

You have to obey the law by your human strength in order to be godly aka in order to “be like God" in whom is no sin; You have to do stuff by your own human strength in order to be free from lack/stupid mistakes/whatever earthly ill - in order to be like God who has none of these things. This is the same antichrist doctrine that Satan preached to Eve in Eden: that man can “be like God" the Good and Perfect by his own human strength at doing something. But the arm of flesh (human effort) will fail.

Beloved of God, never trust yourself. Trust in Christ, putting no confidence in the flesh (human effort) and you will find yourself living in triumph over sin and death (Romans 5:16-17) and making the best decisions for your family, career, relationships and every single facet of your life. See Proverbs 28-

25 “To make rash, hasty decisions

shows that you are not trusting the Lord.

But when you rely totally on God,

you will still act carefully and prudently.[a]

26 Self-confident[b] know-it-alls will prove to be fools.

But when you lean on the wisdom from above,

you will have a way to escape the troubles of your own making.”

Beloved of God, our salvation depends on what we believe about Jesus. By God's Grace, NEVER EVER say "Amen" to such antichrist prayers that invite you to break curses that Christ has redeemed us from by hanging on the tree for us, even if your mind is telling you to "just say Amen because you never know if there is a curse somewhere..." There is absolutely no curse in the life of believers in Christ. God's word says so in Galatians 3:13.

Beware of Satan's mouthpieces behind pulpits who profess Christ but invite churchgoers to come and fast for 70 days or do special deliverance prayers in order to be godly (be like God) or be redeemed from generational and other curses that Christ has FREELY redeemed all who believe from- as if Christ's hanging on the cross means nothing! Believer, beware of such. This is what the antichrist spirit does - it tries to replace Christ's finished work with the seemingly good thing of HUMAN STRIVING at attaining salvation and godliness aka being like God.

The spirit of the antichrist is not anti-God. It is antichrist- like Satan who pushed Eve into trying to make herself godly (be like God) by her own human striving.

Like the "holy holy" Pharisees, its carriers are all about you becoming godly....like God. Godliness (being like God) includes freedom from generational and other curses because God is not cursed. Like Satan when he deceived Eve, these false pastors seem to be very religious/godly, preach strongly against sin and are always shouting the need for churchgoers to be godly and curse-free from the rooftops; but their own means for you to attain godliness (being like God) is by what YOU must do and not what CHRIST has done. They try to remove the focus of God's children from Christ's finished work of saving us, even redeeming us from the curse of the law and tell you to come and start breaking the same curse that Christ hung to redeem us from.

Under the new covenant of Grace, there is only one curse and NOT for believers in Christ. It is a double curse that rests on all those "pastors" who discourage the flock with their antichrist and perverted preaching of the gospel of the grace (undeserved, unmerited favour) of Christ e.g. the horrid preaching that says that believers are under generational or any other curse when Christ has redeemed us from every curse. See this curse in Galatians 1:

6 "I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, 7 which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed."

Beloved of God, as for you and I who utterly trust in and utterly depend/rely on Christ as our Salvation (including salvation from the curse) with everything that we are, this is our lot in Him:

"An undeserved curse will be powerless to harm you. It may flutter over you like a bird,but it will find no place to land." Proverbs 26:2

We might worry a bit when those false pastors shoot their shots to make us fearful about curses or when people direct curses at us. Those thoughts might hover over us like a fluttering bird for a while, but they can NEVER land on us, and only because of Christ's finished work of redeeming us from the curse of the law. Never because of what we do or because we deserve to be saved. This is Grace- undeserved, unearned, unmerited favour.

Right believing always produces right living.
