Have you ever noticed that when you go to a doctor for the first time they always want to know if there have been any problems of sickness in your family?
The same for insurance companies they always ask,
Is there any, Diabetes, cancer, heart disease, hypertension, suicide, depression etc!!
I have spoken to Doctors and asked why families have generational sickness problems, Their answer is always we don’t really know! We just know that there seems to be some hereditary factors that connect families down the generations.
When you have a question the best place to look is always the bible:
EXODUS 20:5
5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and the fourth generation of those who reject me,
but showing steadfast love to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments.
If you want to leave a lasting legacy for your Children’s children for a thousand generations then give your life to Jesus and walk in His ways:
However the sin that your Great grandfather, grandfather, father (& Mothers) will have an effect on your life.
That’s why Doctors and insurance companies always ask the above.
What those people did affects you. ( What you do affects you and your children)
The Sin of your fore fathers brings a curse.
PROVERBS 26:2
As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
There is always a cause for the curse.
God has Laws and they cannot be broken with out consequence.
Adam and eve were the first to learn this:
14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
20 And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
When God created Adam and Eve he blessed them, But the result of their sin brought a curse.
Verse 21 gives a hint to the breaking of the curse:
Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
The first blood shed for sin in the bible.
THE BLOOD OF JESUS IS THE ANSWER TO THE CURSE:
The curse on the land and the curse of sin came through ADAM
GEN 9: Story of Noah who got drunk:
20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father’s nakedness.
24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
UNCOVERED:
1540. galah, gaw-law’; a prim. root; to denude (espec. in a disgraceful sense); by impl. to exile (captives being usually stripped); fig. to reveal:-- + advertise, appear, bewray, bring, (carry, lead, go) captive (into captivity), depart, disclose, discover,
Note Noah cursed Canaan: Canaan was the father of the cities Sodom & Gomarah. What was their sin:? Sexual perversion….. the actions of Canaan were visited on His descendants: ie Noah was sexually attacked by Cannan, and the Sins of Cannan affected his childrens Children, The good news is Gods grace breaks through the curse, (Rahab the Harlot who helped the Israelites at Jerico was a Cananite, She is included in the Genealogy of Jesus because of Her faith in the God of Israel)
EXPAND BELOW:
26 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
Shem is the Father of of the Hebrews and thus Jesus, Japeth is the father of the Gentiles So the tent of Shem is the salvation offered by Jesus. Ham is not mentioned but is not cursed as the Slave traders suggested so is also included in the tents of Shem.
People Curses are real!!!! Breaking the inherited curse is important:
Giving your life to Jesus is the first step to breaking the family curse:
Some are ingrained and need to be renounced:
If you are not a Christian tonight you need to receive Jesus tonight:If you are a Christian and have not been able to get freedom in areas of your life: you need to renounce inherited curses here tonight:
Brother Ian What sort of things are you talking about ????
DUET 27:14
Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an abomination unto the LORD, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and putteth it in a secret place. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen.
Testimony Danish & Irish Waring within me:
If you are compulsive in your behaviour then you need to renounce Idolatry.
HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE IDOLS OR YOUR FORE FATHERS HAVE HAD IDOLS IN THEIR HOMES: If you have them get rid of them:
Cursed be he that setteth light by his father or his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen.
HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER (The only commandment with a promise attached)
17 Cursed be he that removeth his neighbour’s landmark. And all the people shall say, Amen. Perhaps the European’s in this land need to recognise that Land taken without
consent brings a curse, and The Maori folk have a similar track record with each other
NEXT ARE SINS OF CRUELTY
18 Cursed be he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way. And all the people shall say, Amen.
Cursed be he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger, fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen.
You may suffer from Feelings of injustice and anger. Cruelty and sadistic behaviour.

21 Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of beast. And all the people shall say, Amen.
22 Cursed be he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen.
Cursed be he that lieth with his mother in law. And all the people shall say, Amen.
Cant overcome sexual sins chances are there is sexual misadventure in your families background
SINS OF MURDER & VIOLENCE
24 Cursed be he that smiteth his neighbour secretly. And all the people shall say, Amen.
Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen.
It is well known that Violence is a generational thing and can only be broken by Jesus. You may be able to break it in your life by will power, but chances are it will come oiut again in a following generation.
SINS OF NOT FOLLOWING GOD & REBELLION
26 Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen.
Unbelief, doubt rebellion passed down need to be broken by Jesus.
WHAT IS THE CURSE??? NOTE: HE & THEY = DEMONS: Why did the H & R SOCIETY complain about our use of the names of Diseases,
21 The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it.
The LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish.
The he & they are the demonic powers behind the sickness and desruction.
WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT IT??
DUET 30:19
19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days
Choose life tonight “Jesus said I am the Way the truth and the Life, No man comes to the father but by me”
