been repeated
sins are patterns

of specific sins that have
the generations
in your family
line. (Generational sins are also sometimes called generational
curses.) As the disobedience of your family has affected you, so
your own actions will affect the generations ahead of you. God
promises blessings when you choose to obey His Word, but
disobedience will only lead to more heartache in your life, as
well as in the lives of your children and grandchildren.
Take time to identify the issues in your family that could cause
difficulty. A few examples are depression, anger, addictions,
pride, sexual sins, abuse, fear, manipulation,
and emotional
dependency. Once you have identified the struggles, pray and
ask God to break these patterns and sins in your life. Jesus has
given you the authority to break these curses from previous
generations so that you can pass on blessings to those who
follow you. Here is a sample prayer you can use:
