GENERATIONAL CURSES DEFILING YOUR BELIEF

GENERATIONAL CURSES DEFILING YOUR BELIEF INTRODUCTION: Your faith when activated receives God’s Grace, which releases salvation into your life. The activation of your faith to receive God’s Grace is subject to your ability to believe. You must be convinced and have great confidence and expectation in your heart that the promises recorded in God’s Word, will be fulfilled in your life. Believing begins with knowledge, but knowledge must evolve into revelation (God’s Word coming alive in your heart). Mark 9:23 Romans 10:14 Mark 11:22-24 Eph. 1:19 What hinders you from believing? Lack of knowledge Doctrines of man, Col. 2:8 Ungodly behavior II. Sins past down from previous generations Ex. 20:5, Iniquity = Perversity, depravity; to the third and fourth generations.

Creating a Godly identity is the key toward eliminating the effects of generational curses. John 16:13, The Holy Spirit will assist you in revealing generational curses and how to cleanse yourself from their effects on your life.
