Just as there are generational curses, there are indeed generational blessings.Amazingly, these blessings can be misplaced by the enemy; and as usual, we assist in this loss of generational blessings by our ignorance of such blessings.
Indulge me for a few minutes as I draw your attention to this spiritual understanding. I am sure there are many dilemmas you have gotten yourself into throughout your life, and surprisingly somehow, you've miraculously gotten out of the consequences that should have followed. In fact, right up to this day, you're still baffled how you could escape the consequences of such circumstances. Could it be that you escaped the penalties that should have followed based on your actions, not because of you but because of someone that lived and died before you ever came into being? Let's observe a biblical story that will shed much-needed light on such instances.
Scripture tells us that the Lord was angry with King Solomon because he had turned from serving the Lord God. Thus, King Solomon did not do according to the covenant and statutes commanded by God for him to operate. Such as not serving other gods, which he clearly defied.
As a result of king Solomon's violation of the covenant between him and God, God said to King Solomon, "Since you have not kept my covenant and my decrees, I commanded you. I will most certainly tear the kingdom away from you and give it to one of your subordinates."
"Nevertheless, I will not do it during your lifetime because of your father. I will tear it out of the hand of your son, Yet I will not tear the whole kingdom from him but will give him one tribe for the sake of David, my servant and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen" 1 Kings 11:11-13.
Wow, thank you, God, for revelation knowledge! Scripture records that even though king Solomon had messed up royally and deserved whatever punishment came his way. It was due to the blessings of his father, King David, that were clearly recognized by God and passed on to king Solomon so much so that God said that he would not distribute king Solomon's deserved punishment during his lifetime......... So, do you see folks?
So based on this divine spiritual insight, it must change the way that we pray:
Father God, firstly, I thank you for divine knowledge that, according to your word, will prevent us from being destroyed or held captive according to Hosea 4:6 and Isaiah 5:13. Lord, I ask that you "RELEASE" and cause to fall upon us at the appointed times all the generational blessings of our forefathers due to their obedience and honoring of your statues, commandments, and covenants.
Lord, please! Let those generational blessings come alive and speak to the troubles and snares embedded in our destiny designed to hinder us. Lord, remember the commitment and prayers that our ancestors prayed to you concerning our current generation. Father, cause their words to manifest in the name of your son Jesus Christ. Father, your word says in Lamentation 5:7, "Our ancestors sinned and have died, and we are left to bear their punishment." Father, while I am convinced that this is your law for generational curses, I am also convinced that the opposite is true. Our ancestors have also obeyed and honored your rules and covenants. They are now dead, but we that are alive will receive the blessings they've left in place in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen!
Friends, this is revelation knowledge and a placing a demand on that which God has revealed. The releasing of such knowledge and spiritual insight is to break down the walls of tradition and fruitless protocols and tap into the genuine power of the living God via his word. Again, as a reminder, "It will be through knowledge that the just shall be delivered!" Proverbs 11:9.
