Purify the Bloodline

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.” He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. Galatians 3:13-14

Today we will look at bloodline curses, those negative things that may be a part of our life/family, and we don’t understand why. Annoying things like deep-seated anger, why are there so many people dying early, so many single mothers in my family, or where did that thread of mental illness come from? Some medical issues are even associated with your family. For my family, it was diabetes; the key is it was. Ever heard anyone say it runs in my family? 

Well, it’s time we stop it from running for good this message may not be for everyone. Still, for some of us, we need to purify our bloodline and get it free of contamination just got tired of hearing about the same challenges in health and other areas that seem unnatural. 

Derek Prince lists categories of possible bloodline curses: 

1. Mental and emotional breakdown;

2. Repeated or chronic sicknesses, especially if they are hereditary;

3. Repeated miscarriages or related female problems;

4. Breakdown of marriage and family alienation, especially a family history of them;

5. Financial insufficiency, if it is ongoing;

6. Being known as “accident-prone”; and,

7. Having a family a history of suicides or unnatural deaths.

Let’s be clear that not everything is a curse, but sin in one generation can open the door for that same sin to be a pattern in future generations. The Holy Spirit will be the one who reveals or can confirm the operation of a curse in your life.  

The good news is that deliverance is available!

Galatians 3:13 our opening text in the Message version tells us. “Christ redeemed us from that self-defeating, cursed life by absorbing it completely into himself. Do you remember the Scripture that says, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”? That is what happened when Jesus was nailed to the cross: He became a curse, and at the same time dissolved the curse. And now, because of that, the air is cleared and we can see that Abraham’s blessing is present and available for non-Jews, too. We are all able to receive God’s life, his Spirit, in and with us by believing—just the way Abraham received it.”

Also, Derek Prince says, “Most curses do not concern one individual exclusively; rather, they usually concern families or larger communities.”

Let’s pray!

Father, in the name of Jesus, we thank you for your mercy, grace, kindness, and love. We thank you for Jesus Christ, our Savior, and his death on the cross that sets us, our families, and our communities free from any curse. Jesus, you paid it all.! Thank you for the blessings seen and unseen, Lord Jesus glory be to your name. 

Amen. 💕
