“Train up a child in the way they should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6
Training takes work, discipline and patience. I’m sure you have heard the saying “pick your battles.” This phrase refers to making a choice to address and attempt to correct someone’s negative behavior or habit. This often leads to other questions like “is it worth it?” “Why am I interested in this change?” “Does it really matter?”
All these questions encourage us to prioritize, to set goals for ourselves and our family. This sometimes requires us to fight against the evils of this world. Remember: “our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms” Ephesians 6:12
How do you establish your priorities?
What is of utmost importance and why?
What have you been trained up in and how is this impacting your life now? Think about the good and the bad….
Generational bondage is a sin that can be passed down from generation to generation. Whether it’s pride, addiction, abandonment, sexual sin, divorce or something else, through spiritual warfare you can claim the power of Jesus to stop the sin with your generation not passing it on to anyone else in your family. Pray First Prayer Guide p.51
Please pray with me as we fight for our families:
Father, God, I understand that I have inherited certain consequences from my family, and in the Name of Jesus Christ, I proclaim Your power to break any hold of mental or physical illness, pride, addiction, and anything else on me and my family that are a result of sin being passed down through parents, grandparents or any other family members. Lord, I pray for any specific incidents that anyone is currently struggling with. I proclaim that all generational sin ends here and now and that I will not pass these on to anyone in the family. Thank You, Lord, for setting me free and making a new way for me and my family. Amen
