Part 11
Generational curses
For God did not send His Son into the
world to condemn the world, but that
the world through Him might be saved.
Have you ever seen a
family that seems to be
plagued by certain sins or
certain issues?
“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.
Don't Confuse
Punishment with Iniquity.
Generational curse - the
result of ingrained behavior
patterns that are passed
from one generation to the
next.
A curse without cause
shall not alight.

Prayer Breaking Generational
Curses
I confess and acknowledge my sin, and
the sin of those who have gone before
me. Their bondage shall not be mine,
nor shall it be the generations’ that will
come after me. In the name of Jesus I
break every generational curse off my
family and me.
Generational health problems, heart
disease, cancer, diabetes, high blood
pressure, glaucoma, arthritis, ulcers,
breathing problems, blood disorders,
bone degeneration, all hereditary
sickness is broken in Jesus’ name.
Eating disorders, overeating, anorexia,
bulimia, or any type of eating that
would destroy or harm our bodies is
destroyed.
Alcoholism, addiction, and all sexual
immorality is broken from my line.
Divorce, unforgiveness, depression, sorrow,
gossip, worry, peer pressure, greed,
bitterness, anger, temper, unworthiness,
wounds, frustration, compromise, smoking,
and poverty – I declare all these broken in
the name of Jesus and by His shed blood.
My family and I walk in freedom and power,
liberated from every generational curse for
the glory of God. In Jesus’ mighty name,
amen!
