"Also, since you are Christ's
family, you are Abraham’s famous
"descendant," heirs according to

the covenant promises”
(Galatians 3:29 MSG).

O ver the years, Christians have been erroneously taught that many of their problems are connected to
family or ancestral curses; but that's not true. In as much as these curses exist and can influence one
who isn't born again, they ought not to affect the Christian. Some Christians have however found
themselves victims of so-called ancestral or generational curses because they lack knowledge of their new
identity in Christ.

The Bible says, "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away;
behold, all things are become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17). Having been born again by the Word and Spirit
of God, you're not the same person that was born of your parents. Therefore, the curses that may have been
invoked on you, or that you may have inherited from your forbears, are of non-effect because you are a new
creation in Christ. Thus, you've been separated into a new family – God's family – where you are blessed
forever!

You've been called to inherit a blessing "…knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a
blessing” (1 Peter 3:9). Curses have no power over you, for the Bible says, "Surely there is no
enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel..." (Numbers 23:23).
However, believing this is not enough; you have to act on the Word by proclaiming that you're now separated
unto blessings, and not curses, because you are born again.

Romans 10:10 says, "...with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Therefore, to enjoy the life of
blessings to which you've been called in Christ Jesus, you must keep declaring that you're the blessed of the
Lord, and no curse can have an impact on you.

Ephesians 1:3 says, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with
–
all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.” Make this your confession today and always. Decide
today that you will enjoy all the blessings of the beautiful life to which you have been called.
