Breaking Family Curses
Curses come upon families and family lines in 3 ways:
1. External trauma: abuse, rejection, etc. These lead to grief and unforgiveness which can open doors for demonic oppression.
2. Wilful sin: choosing things like adultery, hatred, murder, sexual immorality, theft, etc.
3. Family history, the sins of the fathers, passed down through generational bloodlines.
We have a bloodline from Jesus, whose shed blood on a tree can cleanse our family trees.
There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.
Acts 5:16, KJV
