Generational curses????

Question

Things that your guardians did when they were younger are not oftentimes discussed with their kids. Have any of you ever gone through something that you parents warned you not to do only to realize they did it themselves??(i.e sex outside of marriage, drugs, etc)

Answer 1

Yes. And it wasn't only my parents. Interesting stories from my grandparents as well.

Answer 2

First of all, ALL parents try to tell their kids to "do this", or "don't do that" because they are trying to save their kids the pain of reality. The truth is however, no-one can live their lives through some one else's experiences....we must all at some stage start making our own choices, walking our own path.....our parents may not always agree with our choices but I believe it is our responsibility to listen to our own hearts and do what is right for ourselves...so long as you are not going out of your way to actually harm someone, you must do what is right for you. Sometimes you will make poor choices and you will have to accept whatever consequences come with making that decision but that is all part and parcel of being an adult.....accepting responsibility for our actions....sadly this is a lesson which some people never learn.

As for the matter of curses.....curses only have power if you believe in them......the only ante-dote to a curse is to have absolute belief that you are not included or affected by this curse.... To protect yourself from a curse, buy a sage stick, light it and immerse your body in it's smoke, saying "I am cleansed of any curses, my will is my own".......

Answer 3

I have indeed and have learned a valuable lesson; we need to be careful how we influence our kids. We need to think of how our parents couldve been better and be careful to apply those lessons to our kids so we dont repeat the mistake. All too often I hear from older generations "well I had to go through it when I was young so now its my turn to do the injustice." I know my dad and I had this discussion about 2nd hand smoke and his solution was to repeat the mistakes of his parents using his ordeal to justify it.

The biggest thing however is teaching our kids about God. If we dont do that then that makes us the worst parents ever because all we did was prepare our kids for hell.

Answer 4

Not quite.
But I did get a phone call from a researcher asking about a great uncle that I did not know I had.
The researcher could hardly believe that my family had not discussed this man.
He was a bluebeard, mass murderer of 8 for certain; possibly as many as 50 women. But I knew nothing of him until that phone call. The family names were right, the Ellis Island records were right, the generations were right.
This was an uncle I had never heard of.
Murdering women for their money, no wonder my mother's family never mentioned the man!

Answer 5

This is not a big thing they the parents have lived and experienced much before and during your raring which is why their advice is so vital and should always be taken heed to they try to prevent errors made by them so you may have a better travel through life. Rather you find out or not if they have done any of the things they try to prevent you from doing is of no matter of the child's. listening and respecting their vital warnings is what must be absorbed by the wise listener and student of life lessons told by parents out of love and concern!

Answer 6

Yes...yes...and yes again. I doubt if many people can say that they lived much differently from what our parents lived. And yes, it did trickle down to my children as well. My parents were not Christian so I did not have the base to help guide me...and I was not a Christian when my children were young so they did not have that base to guide them. I am happy to say that all of them have now found themselves earlier than I did and now use Christ in their daily lives to teach their children. Perhaps it will be this generation where the curse ends. I certainly hope so.

Answer 7

I can certainly relate to pain over what my parents did and failed to do, however the idea of a generational curse of any sort is not warranted. Jesus became a curse for us and died to free us from any such. Moreover, God told the Jews that the sould that sinned would die FOR IT'S OWN SINS. Check out Ezekiel 18 and free yourself from this harmful, unbiblical teaching.

Love in Christ,
Tom

Answer 8

Has it occured to you that BECAUSE they have gone through these mistakes that they don't want you to suffer the consequences that they did for making these mistakes.and as far as curses, it is written that god will curse down to the fourth generation if the offspring keep pulling the same crap as their parents.

Answer 9

when my hubby an i eloped many years ago while we were still in college, my mother's first question was, "You aren't pregnant are you????" For several months after, she questioned me about that. I couldn't understand why. She had eloped with my father, so I didn't think it was a bad thing to elope..........and I never led a life that would lend itself to her believing that I was pregnant. Then it dawned on me one day when I heard her discussing having my oldest brother 'early' that she probably eloped herself because she was pregnant. Now I talk openly with my kids about my fears for them. I tell them about my mistakes, and how I hope they don't repeat them.............as we are Christians and I want them to know that stupid choices I made before my committment to Christ aren't ok for them to make just because I did.



Easter Blessings!

Answer 10

Yes. Generational curses pass down by generations, ie, your great grandma had cancer, and so did your grandma and your mom so you think you might, blah blah, so on so forth. You have to break curses. go to www.straitwaytruth.com for more info.
