Q. Are Family Curses (and Blessings) Real?
Super scary verse in the OT (Second Commandment):
Exodus 20:4-5 (NLT) 4 “You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind or an image of anything in the heavens or on the earth or in the sea. 5 You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods. I lay the sins of the parents upon their children; the entire family is affected—even children in the third and fourth generations of those who reject me.
Generational curses?
Need to cast out demons? “Bondage Breaker” book
No! This is more about learned behavior
Third and fourth generations
You may have met these people!
Influence extends to grandkids and great grandchildren
Principle: parenting matters!
You will pass on more than you think
Family idols (even today)
Alcoholism
Pride, selfishness
Materialism (wealth)
But don’t miss the next verse
Exodus 20:6 But I lavish unfailing love for a thousand generations on those who love me and obey my commands.
God wants to bless your family!
A thousand
