"Generational Deliverance - An Important Key to Healing"

Paul Cox may be the most effective minister of "deliverance" I've ever met. I put "deliverance" in quotes, because when he ministers to you (and I've sat in ministry with him several times), the last thing it FEELS like is "deliverance." Nevertheless, things change. Things happen. Generational curses are broken...all in what feels like two people having a quiet conversation. "That's that what I'm taking about!" -- Steve Shultz, THE ELIJAH LIST

"She had always been afraid of rushing water. She would take baths instead of showers, and when she was in a hurry and had to take a shower, she would have to make sure that someone was either in the bathroom with her, or right outside the door. She enjoyed swimming in pools, but taking walks in shallow creeks was horrendous. Someone mentioned to her that this might be a generational curse, and the next day she met with a prayer team. The team found out that her Swedish ancestors had tied people to the bows of ships and had tortured them by the rushing water that would smash into their victims. This curse had been carried down to her since the 1400's (some 30 generations). The curse was renounced, and there was repentance for the actions of her ancestors. The next day, she could feel the change and the freedom that came with it. Since her generational deliverance, she has had no fear of rushing waters. She is able to take showers when she is alone in her house, and nightmares about drowning and being terrified in the water have ceased."

But is going back more than four generations Biblical?

How can sins that go back more than four generations affect us?

It is true the word of God clearly states that sins can go down at least four generations:

Exodus 20:5 - "You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me."

(See also Exodus 34:7, Numbers 14:18, Deuteronomy 5:9)

But, how can a curse go down more than four generations?


1. The scripture indicates that some curses go down to ten generations.

Deuteronomy 23:2 - One of illegitimate birth shall not enter the assembly of the Lord, even to the tenth generation none of his descendants shall enter the assembly of the Lord.

(NIV Study Bible gives this note: Perhaps forever, since ten is symbolic of completeness or finality)


2. Some curses seem to last forever.

Proverbs 17:13 - "If a man pays back evil for good, evil will never leave his house."

1 Samuel 2:31 - [Word given to Eli] "The time is coming when I will cut short your strength and the strength of your father's house, so that there will not be an old man in your family line."

Jeremiah 23:40 - "I will bring upon you everlasting disgrace - everlasting shame that will not be forgotten."

2 Samuel 12:10 - [Word given to David] "Now, therefore, the sword will never depart from your house, because you despised me and took the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your own."

3. A curse can go down more than four generations.

If a sin is committed one hundred generations back, it is empowered up to four generations. If that sin is repeated the next generation, it can go down another four generations (therefore now going down five generations). If the sin is empowered in the next generation, then it can go down another four generations - therefore, six generations from the original sin. (Note: The Exodus text does not say that sins can ONLY go down four generations.)


So what do you do if you feel you have generational issues that need to be broken?

1. Ask the Lord to reveal any generational curse or sin issue.
    

2. Ask the Lord how many generations back in the family line this generational curse was first empowered.
    

3. Ask the Lord what happened to empower that event.
    

4. Renounce, repent, and ask forgiveness for any sin committed in the family line. This is called identification repentance.
    

5. Ask the Lord Jesus to cover the family line and the memory or incident with His blood. Renounce and repent for sin related to that event.
    

6. Ask the Lord to break all ungodly connections from that event in the generational line to the present.
    

7. Demand all evil leave and go wherever Jesus commands them.
    

8. End the session with prayer for the cleansing and protection of the Holy Spirit.

Note by Steve Shultz: That's really all there is to it, and if you sit in on one of Paul's one-on-one sessions, these are the steps he will go through. Check out his two books, "Ravens - Unseen Evil, Unwilling Eyes" where Paul tells his story and gives more instruction and "Unwrapping the Gifts" -- I highly recommend both of these books!
