 I want to make a suggestion. We know that poor choices of one generation can negatively shape the conditions for the next generation. But the next generation isn't doomed to repeat the same mistakes. They can make their own choices and therefore reap their own consequences. So here's the suggestion. Let's stop referring to these negative generational effects as curses and instead call them consequences. God said, the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. That's Ezekiel 1820. There, God was challenging the mentality of collective punishment. Yes, one generation can affect the next, but God doesn't hold you responsible for someone else's choices. You can chart a new path. You're not stuck. You're not doomed. You are not their mistakes. No matter your family bloodline, there's greater power in the blood of Jesus.
