Understanding Generational Curses and Blessings Part [15] 12/17/2023 (Evening thought)

3rd John 1: 2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospers.

The salvation God offers is holistic in nature, and it ought to be understood as being applicable to the entire man. God does not propose to save the mind and leave the body behind, hence the reason why it is written, that we should keep our bodies, soul, and spirit blameless, for the one affects the other.

And to those who might be withering under a load of generational curses, let us always remember that the grace of God through Christ was manifested for just such situations and if we so desire, the buck can stop at our doorstep. In some cases, this will not be easy but grace as well as power is promised to all who would take the time to study their family tree, carefully observing where their progenitors went right or wrong, and thereby, purposing in the heart, to track an entirely different course.

[The D.A. pp 296] The apostles differed widely in habits and disposition. These were brought together with their different faults, all with inherited and cultivated tendencies to evil; but in and through Christ they were to dwell in the family of God, learning to become one in faith, in doctrine, in spirit.

Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. Good night” and God bless!

Romans 8: 16 The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.

[5 Biography pp 355] I want you to read the books Patriarchs, and Prophets, Great Controversy, Desire of Ages, and Ministry of Healing. I am not, as I said yesterday, a prophet. I do not claim to be a leader; I claim to be simply a messenger of God, and that is all I have ever claimed.

Persons who are really loaded with The Spirit of God do not generally make a show of the fact. Instead, it may be the case that you could be sitting right next to such a person in church and have not a clue as to their true status. Again, generational curses and blessings are not to be understood as God doing something unto one’s offspring that would trigger a chain of adversities or circumstances, from which he or she cannot escape.

In almost every situation, the choice is ours. God provides the opportunities, success is what persons make of them, and therefore, if a person’s family tree includes indulgences in cancerous foods, and drink, you can in most cases, take concrete steps to slow down, stop or even reverse a downward trend, by the decisions and actions taken.

Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. 8 My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother: 9 For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
