Destroying The Evil Covenants Of Our Ancestors


"Our ancestors have sinned, but now they're dead, but we, the current generation, are left to bear their iniquities" Lamentations 5:7


When observed from the surface, the above scripture may not seem to be a significant passage. However, when we analytically review this particular scripture and measure it up to the quality of our lives, Surprisingly, there seems to be a realistic comparison. For example, you were disciplined in your studies to attain a master's degree. However, you now realize that even while being equipped with such a prestigious degree. It was not sufficient to prevent you from

being a victim of the negative pattern of divorce prevalent in your family. Aside from the above example, you were considered for a well-deserved promotion only to learn that someone less qualified was given the promotion. To make matters worse, your doctor's report just came back confirming that you have been diagnosed with Cancer. Again, while you may have been the only one in your family to break the ceiling of education to achieve a master's degree, it did not stop the all too common negative patterns that are synonymous with your family lineage, such as Cancer, divorce, anti-promotion, etc.


Many of us have observed these vicious, ruthless, evil patterns playing themselves out in our lives and the lives of our loved ones. We've reasoned with these occurrences and chalked it up by concluding that such things happen daily to everyone. Many of you, likely reading this article, have had men and women of God speak into your lives or even prophesy about things changing, such as a future promotion, a new home, etc. Nevertheless, because such prophecies have not panned out, we can quickly label the prophets as false prophets. Now, while I agree that there are many false prophets, I also know that from a biblical perspective, an underlying, undiagnosed spiritual issue could prevent certain things from happening in your life.


The scripture mentioned above, a spiritual law, exposes the evil patterns that manifest in our lives. By extension, the lives of our fellow family members do have an origin! In other words, the cycles of negative patterns in our lives are not happening because they could happen or they're happening by chance. Instead, there were certain forbidden practices that our ancestors engaged in that automatically levied these consistent evil patterns on us. This prohibited practice of which I speak is known from a biblical perspective as idol worship, which we learn to be witchcraft, Voodoo, Obeah, Santeria, etc.


In the book of Exodus 20:2-5, it reads as follows:

"I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt and the land of slavery. You shall have no other "gods" before me. You shall not make an image (idol) for yourself in the form of anything in heaven above, on the earth beneath, or in the waters below. 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 parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me."


The above scripture has made it clear as it relates to God's position on serving and worshiping other gods and that the punishment of such behavior would be where God (not Satan) will punish the present children of those that practice such forbidden acts and extend it all the way up to their third and fourth generation. As a result of this law now explains why you are either not achieving or not able to go past a certain point or even living a life of negative evil patterns that have literally disabled and crippled you and your family.


With the above understanding in mind, we must also realize that when our ancestors from the fourth generation decided to seek solutions or wanted to place a "fix, hex, spell or curse" on someone through the assistance of witchcraft workers. They unknowingly were causing curses to be levied on us who weren't even born yet, which would have spiritually set restrictions and limitations on us as soon as we were born. So, in essence, those evil covenants established with evil spirits for whatever reason are affecting us to this day simply because they were never confessed or recognized and broken, renounced, etc.


You might say, "Well, Kevin, my parents and grandparents were men and women of God, so what you're saying certainly does not apply to my family and me. You may be correct, but let's look at it differently. Do you recall your parents, grandparents, or any family member mopping their floor with turpentine, Florida Water? What about sprinkling salt around the home, sprinkling ammonia inside the house, or placing garlic on their person to ward off spirits? What about tying black strings around the child's wrist or leg when they become irritable and find it difficult to sleep? Let's take it a step further. What about the specific candles your parents, etc., would burn over a particular piece of paper or place a piece with someone's name written on it on the inside of their shoes? What was that big evil-looking book that your parents or grandparents always seem to be able to retrieve and recite specific stuff from when someone did them or any other family wrong?


You see, my friend, it was these acts, and so many other things that our ancestors and even living relatives (who also claim to be men and women of God) were and are engaging in that has caused us to be limited physically, all due to what they did spiritually. You cannot allow this to continue now that your understanding has been enlightened. In fact, you must not enter into 2017 with these same spiritual restrictions as a result of evil covenants established between your ancestors and evil spirits when participating in witchcraft. If you are a Christian, then you were given power by our Lord Jesus Christ to destroy all evil covenants and evil ordinances that have been unknowingly set up against you, according to Luke 10:19


Please, either now or at the beginning of next year, enter a three-day fast to expressly renounce, reject, and break all evil covenants that have covertly or overtly been speaking against your destiny as a result of the spiritual ignorance of your parents or ancestors which has caused you not to progress in life. Begin by asking God to forgive the iniquities of your ancestors and your own sins, according to Leviticus 26:40-41. Then retrieve scriptures relative to what Christ has done for you on the cross, according to Galatians 3, and include such scriptures in your prayers during your fast, all to break the spiritual shackles that have held you back for so many years. You have asked the Lord why your life has turned out the way it did; nowhere is your answer. "Through knowledge shall the just be delivered" Proverbs 11:9. What happens for you physically next year will depend on what you have broken and renounce spiritually either now or at the beginning of next year!

Get Your Life Together Before Your Appointment With Death


Death marks the end of our earthly life and the separation of our spirit from our physical body. Our participation in earthly affairs ends, whether we have fulfilled our plans and responsibilities or left them unfinished.

We spend considerable time preparing for life’s milestones, yet how much attention do we give to eternity? Beyond our earthly existence, we must face God. Our relationship with Jesus Christ deserves serious attention while we still have the opportunity to respond to Him.

Whether someone dies through an accident, illness, or another cause, the circumstances often bring painful questions for those left behind. Their grief deserves compassion. Yet alongside the question of how someone died stands another question each of us must consider: Am I prepared to meet God?

Ecclesiastes 9:5–6 describes the end of our participation in earthly life:

“For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.”

Consider those words, “under the sun.” Our opportunities to work, serve, repent, and fulfill our earthly responsibilities deserve attention now. We should never assume we will always have time to address what we keep postponing.

A favorable medical report, a job promotion, a marriage, a new baby, or a recently purchased home often gives us reasons to celebrate and plan. These blessings deserve gratitude, but none guarantees another day. We have heard of people who died shortly after reaching a milestone they had spent years anticipating. Their plans were sincere, and their expectations were understandable, yet their lives ended unexpectedly.

My question to you this morning is direct: While preparing for everything else you consider important, have you seriously considered your relationship with God? Have you responded to the gospel of Jesus Christ, or have you continually postponed this decision?

Death does not give preference to education, wealth, influence, or popularity. Your achievements do not buy you more time, and your position in society does not remove your accountability before God. Hebrews 9:27 reminds us of death and the judgment which follows.

Many of us hear the gospel regularly. Some grew up in Christian homes and learned Scripture from childhood. Yet familiarity with Christian teaching does not replace personal repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. You must consider your own response to the truth you have received.

Education and achievement have value in our earthly responsibilities. The danger arises when pride leads us to trust our understanding above God’s Word or believe our success removes our need for Him. The God who delivered Abraham, Moses, and Joseph still deserves our trust and obedience. We must never let His blessings become reasons to disregard Him.

My friends, your degree, job title, possessions, and public reputation do not secure eternal life. Salvation comes through God's grace, through faith in Jesus Christ, as Ephesians 2:8–9 teaches. Have you placed your trust in Him? Have you turned toward God in repentance, or are you depending on your upbringing, good intentions, and achievements?

Do not postpone this examination until you face a crisis. You have an opportunity today to respond to God, seek His forgiveness, and submit your life to Jesus Christ. Give this decision the attention you give your career, family, finances, and future plans.

As you read this message, consider the opportunity before you. You are alive, you have heard the invitation, and you have time to respond now. Second Corinthians 6:2 declares, “Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.”

The passing days remind us how brief our earthly lives are. Weeks become months, and months become years. We should allow this awareness to produce wisdom, gratitude, and obedience.

James 4:14 asks:

“Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.”

Prepare responsibly for your earthly future, and give serious attention to eternity. Place your faith in Jesus Christ and live according to His Word. Tomorrow is uncertain. Respond to Him today.
