1. For he who is in Christ is a new creature, Old things are past away.

2. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Funny enough even those under generational curses will come and say there's nothing like that.

Generational curse does not exist even under the Law...It is a coinage by "some men" who are not rightly dividing God's word, perhaps to defraud or keep ignorant members in bondage. Actually, it is the second biggest scam perpetrated in the Church world mostly by African Pastors and Prophets.

To start with, Ezekiel 28 and Jeremiah 31 v 29-30 already debunked whatever people peddling as generational curse.

Finally, when a sinner receives Christ, he/she becomes a new creature and is given the gift of eternal life (2Cor 5v17) and begins to stand on the solid and assured foundation already laid by Christ Jesus (1Cor 3v11).

Remain blessed.

There is a correlation btw a genaration curse, ancestral curse and foundational curse. The 3 needs to be uprooted before progressing in life.

Sure certainly, but not in the light you present it.

GC is evident because we reincarnate from a life time to another as spirit walking into perfection. Now if a spirit before it's departure lay a curse on you in its corporeal life, that curse remains and go with you into the grave until that spirit learn to forgive you. You in turn in your next life is saddled to atone for that sin that invited the curse. If you're able to, that sin go away. If you weren't it walks you to your next reincarnation.

Which is why the intervention of a higher pure spirit like Christ is needed to enlighten the spirit that cursed you that forgiveness on the spirit part gives it peace and freedom.

Avoid curses every way you can. Do good only.

You are right, however he didn't ask about generational sins but generational curses. I probably understand your concept though, that God doesn't punish us for the sins of our fathers. But generational curses are not punishment from God. They very much exist and are totally demonic; words spoken in anger by some wicked people against others and brought into effect by demons . But truth is, those generational curses are broken and made of no effect when someone comes into Christ. Because, who can lay any charge against God's elect? It's God that justifies...Roman 8

What you are saying is that the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ is not enough to bring a Believer into the fullness of God's blessings.

"For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ" 1Cor 3v11.

There are no generational curses. Read Ezekiel 18 for details on How the Almighty God Himself swore by His name that they are no more.

Are there people who convince themselves of it though? Yes

Yeah there's something like generation curse. If there's nothing like generational curse why are people going for deliverance every time. Come and see how Pastor Olukoya used to mention them in their programmes. Things are happening that can't be explained with human understanding.

Read Ezekiel 18 and come back with a response.

I think so....

Not necessarily curses but bad traits from a family/community/region

In Nigeria for example,the unnecessary wasted souls might have placed some curse on those who perpetrated the evil.

We are seeing it happening currently in Nigeria

Bingo! Nigeria's case is not a curse but a behavioural problem learned by many who choose to.

“You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow 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 to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.”
Exodus 20, 4-6

The one who sins is the one who will die. The child will not share the guilt of the parent, nor will the parent share the guilt of the child. The righteousness of the righteous will be credited to them, and the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against them.
Ezekiel 18:20

A generational curse is believed to be passed down from one generation to another due to rebellion against God. If your family line is marked by divorce, incest, poverty, anger or other ungodly patterns, you're likely under a generational curse. The Bible says that these curses are tied to choices. Deuteronomy 30:19 says we can either choose life and blessing or death and cursing.

Update found in Ezekiel 18

Repeated patterns can be as a result of children learning bad traits from their parents. Or parents training their children in the same environment they grew up. If you were born in Mushin and you gave birth to your own children in Mushin, there'll likely be a repeated pattern. undecided undecided undecided

Yes! And there are two notable examples in the bible.

Gehazi and his generation were cursed:

“The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.”
— 2 Kings 5:27

Joab and his generation were cursed:

“Let it rest on the head of Joab, and on all his father's house; and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath an issue, or that is a leper, or that leaneth on a staff, or that falleth on the sword, or that lacketh bread.”
— 2 Samuel 3:29

If there is no generational curse ,then life should have been easy for everybody...even the sin of Adam brought generational death..only that only faith in Christ can deliver someone from..folks should stop believing in the fake teachings that is rampant these days. They tell you all is well when even you know you are dying ..
Re: Is There Anything Like Generational Curse? by Perfectbeing(m): 3:42pm On Jun 21, 2020
Generational curses is an attempt to exalt your physical ancestry above Christ and his finished work. Even if it was true that your fathers or parents did some things in the past, you would have to totally ignore all that Jesus did for you to believe you're suffering from a generational curse. No matter what happened in your family before you came to Christ or is still happening now, Christ Jesus has done much more. Put your faith in what he has done. The blood of Jesus overrides your family blood line.
Jesus the tree of life supersedes your family tree. Jesus is the answer... Old things have passed away.

Re: Is There Anything Like Generational Curse? by busomma: 4:04pm On Jun 21, 2020
This is a phrase coined up by pastors to make u scared & come to them for the so called deliverance & in the process make money out the religious fools he has turned u to. That's why some mugus will just wake up & change their family name cos the pastor said that names has been curesed. 20yrs down the road the mugus are even worse off than they were.
It's unfortunate what religion has done to Nigerian society as a whole. The decay in our society is mostly the fault of religious leaders & politicians. If religious leaders were at the forefront leading the masses against bad governance instead of honoring the looters with front seat rows in the church, may be our society wouldn't have decayed to the level we find ourselves in today.

Hereditary disease, people living in the same environment, or people doing the same work (e.g factory workers, miners etc ). Many things can cause family members dying at a certain age.
Diseases without symptoms right? Professor of speculation.

A genuine believer who understands the finished work of Calvary should not subject himself/herself to any generational curse because we have been liberated and granted freedom,Jesus Christ paid has paid it all,It is left for us believer to embrace our freedom and declare it,inability to embrace and exercise this freedom in place of prayer is what still keeps some Christians under family or generational curse
We believers are chosen people,a royal priesthood and a holy nation,we belong to God and has been called out of darkness into HIS marvellous light through Christ Jesus

Hmm.
Humans! Always looking for explanations out of the ordinary.
Generational curse?! Because some things are recurrent automatically makes them the result of a Generational curse?

There's nothing like generational curse. What ever we experience is simply following the cause-and-effect rule.
Simply put, what we experience now is the result of what was done in the past. Sometimes the cycle continues until someone in the cycle break it.

Stupid question! Obviously, religion-based.
Religion will be the end of us if we don't start using our brains
Do you know Dangote?
His grand son is Dantata!
Dantata daughter can never be poor!
Her grand Children would not be poor.

Isn't that generational blessing flowing through some people?
