Is Your Family Cursed?

My 24 year old son is scheduled to get married next month and one of the prayers it was suggested I pray for him was to pray against the spirit of divorce. And that his eyes would be opened and he would realize that marriage is truly a covenant that is instituted by God and it should not be taken lightly. Did I mention that he is currently living with the young woman he is scheduled to marry.  As I began to think about the prayer I began to think about my own divorce and the spirit of whoredom and adultery (spiritual and physical), and idolatry that eventually destroyed the marriage. I too lived with my husband prior to getting married in 1984 and we called ourselves "saved", but we definitely weren't sold out to the things of God.  We lived in sin and hypocrisy.

My thoughts also took me to my family lineage and allowed me to see what had taken place within my bloodline.  My grandparents were married over 50 years until the death of my grandfather in 1991.  However out of my grandparents 5 children 4 of their marriages ended in divorce or separation. My parents were separated for several years until my father's death in 2001. The 5th marriage was till death do us part when my auntie died in 1987.  Currently out of my 15 cousins 3 have never been married 3 are still married to their husband/wife for at least 10 years.  The other 9 of us are divorced or separated and some on their second marriages. The numbers, as they say don't lie.  There is a generational curse of divorce in my family line and it needs to be broken!

Author John Eckhardt in his book "Prayers that Break  Curses" says the spirit of divorce falls under "The Curse from the Seduction of Jezebel. Marriage in our American society is under attack like never before.  The divorce rate among christians is higher than that of non-christians.  Divorce has become the norm and no longer considered unacceptable.  It doesn't matter that God says He hates divorce.  However the seduction of Jezebel is running rampant in our society.  This seducing spirit draws people into whoredom and adultery away from the truth of God's word causing them to go into error, bondage and curses and brings about the judgment of God.

Divorce isn't the only curse that families today are dealing with.  How many children in our society, even in our families were conceived out of wedlock.  Bringing the curse of having bastard children. Today it is no big deal to have children out of wedlock, many have multiple children with different fathers.  Or how many have dealt with spirits bringing curses of rape and sexual abuse, homosexuality, how about pornography and pedophilia, and what about the spirit of lawlessness and rebellion, the spirits of alcohol, drunkenness and addictions, the spirit of murder and abortion. and the list can go on and on.

So what do we as believers do about it? How do we break these cycles and stop these generational curses from destorying our children, grandchildren and future generations? We speak the truth according to God's word, unashamedly and boldly!  The church has been silent for too long and has compromised God's word in so many areas, but it's time that the bride rise up in preparation for her bridegroom.  The word of God says that " the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force". Matthew 11:11.

So it's time we take back our families and break those generational curses that would keep us in bondage and slavery. We speak God's Word, over our families our children our communities and we repent for past sins.  We call forth the future generations of true apostles, prophets, evangelists, who would be the ones raised up to deal with the spirit of Jezebel, Belial and others. We break and destroy the curse over our families and take back what the enemy has stolen!
