FREED FROM CURSES

The generational curse teaching that you will come across from time to time is Old Testament NOT New Testament taught by people who don't understand that we are now under a new and much better Covenant!

Hebrews Ch 8:6 But now He (Jesus) has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises. 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.

I've come to clearly see that I am NOT under any curses - generational or otherwise. How could I be? Jesus already bore in my place any and all curses at Calvary!! HE'S ALREADY TAKEN THEM, in order that I should be FREE. And that's a HALLELUJAH!!

Galatians Ch 3:13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,

According to the New Testament the only way I could be cursed is 1) If I am an unbeliever, or 2) If I were to foolishly place myself under the law:

Galatians Ch 3:10a For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse;

Jesus came to FREE us TOTALLY. Obviously you're not free if you're under a curse. Jesus speaking of Himself:

John Ch 8:31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

We're released from the law's condemnation by Jesus. We can then live in His Word (New Testament), and know THE TRUTH of salvation and growing to maturity in Christ, and so being CLEAN and FREE via His sacrifice!!! Generational curses? - nope, not for me: He's cut them off forever!
