Generational Curse Definition
What is labeled a generational curse is
primarily based on the teaching of those within deliverance ministries who
believe that certain people can "inherit" misfortune.
They believe some people receive, from their ancestors, tendencies
and weaknesses toward specific types or groups of sins.
The concept of a generational curse comes from the second of God's
holy Ten Commandments.
“You shall not make for yourselves any graven image, or any
likeness of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth
beneath . . . You shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I,
the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon
the children unto the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me . . . ” (Exodus 20:4 - 6, HBFV)
Some see such a "curse" as being caused by an evil
spirit who has the power to harass the descendants of a particular person who
is prone to commit certain sins.
Still others see it as being a general "spiritual inheritance"
in nature.
Such curses are not thought to have a connection with
heredity-based problems like a tendency to abuse alcohol.
Those who are under a generational curse, it is argued, are prone
to committing certain types of sinful behavior.
Solutions to this type of penalty include having someone involved
in a deliverance ministry "discern" the exact curse a person
possesses.
With this information the individual can then specifically
renounce the curses against them.
If it is believed that the cause is an actual evil spirit, the
deliverance ministry will try to "cast it out."
