Generational iniquity
God wants to take His people on a journey out of spiritual Egypt, and out of our spiritual houses of bondage. Deuteronomy 6:12: Then beware lest thou forget the Lord, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. Deuteronomy 8:14: Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the Lord thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. Through God’s Word we will also see how having cursed items in our homes has allowed us to be spiritually visited with the iniquity of our forefathers. By having cursed items in our homes we create unclean spiritual doorways that allow evil spirits access to our life and to the lives of our family. Until we remove these items this evil access can, and will, allow temptation into our life – the same evil temptation and enticement that visited our ancestors. Our ancestor’s lives are the spiritual blue print through which Satan and his evil spirits tempt us. Due to lack of knowledge about God’s Word we, as Christians, are repeating many of the same sinful habits as some of our forefathers, and we are living in bondage. The Lord God never intended for His people to live a life of bondage to the devil! Our mind can be at peace and we can be set free from bondage to Satan’s devices! John 14:27: Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
When Christians participate in any practice that is contrary to the Word of God it will result in evil bondage, addiction, and oppression of the mind, flesh, and emotions (soul). God does not want Satan’s things, or practices, in the temple of our home or mind! Jesus Christ died for us to set us free from the curse, but will we continue to stay free while practicing or living among the ‘accursed’? Acts 19:18-19: And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds. Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. The Greek word for ‘curious’ in Acts 19:19 is “periergos, per-ee’-er-gos; …magic”. Deuteronomy 7:26: Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shall utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing. Joshua 6:18: And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing lest ye make yourselves accursed when ye take of the accursed thing and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it. The Hebrew word for ‘cursed’ in Deuteronomy 7:26 and for ‘accursed’ in Joshua 6:18 “keep yourselves from the accursed thing” is “cherem, kheh’-rem; …usually a doomed object… dedicated thing, things which should have been utterly destroyed, (appointed to) utter destruction, devoted (thing)”. The Hebrew word for ‘accursed’ in Joshua 6:18 “lest ye make yourselves accursed” is “charam, khaw-ram’; …to seclude… to devote to religious uses (espec. destruction)… make accursed… (utterly) destroy… forfeit”. See my list of subjects concerning ‘familiar spirits’, ‘necromancy’, ‘ventriloquism’, and ‘pantomime’.
The main thing that Christians need to know is the truth behind the false spiritual practices they are participating in, or allowing their children to participate in, and how it is being disguised as innocent. They need to know the true meaning behind the things they have in their home, because it is hindering their relationship with God and is keeping them in bondage and addiction. Any Christian can re-open a generational door of iniquity (which is a generational pattern of bondage and addiction) in their life by having cursed objects in their home that are symbolic of false religion and their gods. These cursed things are an abomination to the One and Only True God! Jesus sets us free from the curse so why do we want to reconnect it by continuing to live among things that are allowing this reconnection. Deuteronomy 23:14: For the Lord thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee. II Corinthians 6:16-17: And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. Acts 15:20: But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood. I John 5:21: Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen. I Thessalonians 1:9: For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God. The Greek word for ‘idols’ in II Corinthians 6:16 and I John 5:21 is “eidolon, i’-do-lon; an image, (i.e. for worship)… a heathen god… or the worship of such”.
As Christians, do we really recognize the evil spiritual roots that are behind the problems we are facing today? Do we see that we (yes Christians) have helped water these spiritually evil roots through our own religious and generational traditions? Within the pages of my website shoutingfromtherooptop.com you will find information concerning religious traditions, and how these traditions have ultimately led to many of the problems and issues that are affecting our world today. On my website I discuss various issues; but the main focus will be the Spiritual and physical cleansing of our homes and churches. When specific items are removed temptations and confusion of the mind are removed also. Throughout the entire website you will find scripture about the importance of removing unclean items from our homes and churches. After reading my website in its entirety you will see that you have never read a website quite like this one!
Our children will Spiritually suffer the consequences of what we do not teach them! In II Kings Chapter 22 we read about Josiah a young boy who became King at 8 years of age. Josiah was nearly destroyed because of what His father did not teach him concerning God’s laws and commandments. God teaches us in His Word that we are to love and obey Him with all our heart, and teach our children to do the same. Yet, Josiah was not taught. He did not realize how strongly God felt against the pagan abominations and practices that literally surrounded him – strong enough that God was about to pour out His wrath. II Chronicles 34:25: Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be poured out upon this place, and shall not be quenched. When Josiah finally heard the book of the law, which was read to him by Shaphan the scribe, he tore his clothes as a symbol of his grief. II Kings 22:11: And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent (tore) his clothes. Afterward, Josiah sent Hilkiah the priest to Huldah the prophetess and she enquired of the Lord for him (Josiah). II Kings 22:13: Go ye, enquire of the Lord for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found: for great is the wrath of the Lord that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not hearkened unto the words of this book, to do according unto all which is written concerning us. II Chronicles 34:22-24: And Hilkiah, and they that the king had appointed, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college:) and they spake to her to the effect. And she answered them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Tell ye the man that sent you to me, Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the King of Judah.
If you read II Kings Chapters 22 & 23 and II Chronicles Chapter 34 you will see how Josiah completely destroyed all the idolatrous images! He also broke down the houses of the sodomites – homosexuals. Josiah was obedient to God’s Word (as soon as he learned the truth); but he nearly suffered the consequences of what his father had not taught him. When Josiah heard God’s Word he immediately humbled himself and repented for the disobedience of the people (including his own father’s disobedience) – and God heard Josiah. After Josiah repented God sent word to Josiah, through Hulda the prophetess, by Hilkiah the priest. II Chronicles 34:26-27: And as for the king of Judah, who sent you to enquire of the Lord, so shall ye say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel concerning the words which thou hast heard; Because thine heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou heardest his words against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and humbledst thyself before me, and didst rend thy clothes, and weep before me; I have even heard thee also, saith the Lord. II Kings 22:19-20: Because thine heart was tender, and thou has humbled thyself before the Lord, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and has rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith the Lord. Behold therefore, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered into thy grave in peace, and thine eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again. Notice that God did not delay his wrath because Josiah did not know the book of the law. God delayed His wrath only when Josiah repented for not knowing and obeying God’s law. Josiah was living among every abomination that God’s Word warns against, and although Josiah did not know what God’s law said he still nearly suffered the consequences for what his father had not taught him. Are we, or our children, suffering the consequences of what our own parents did not teach us concerning God’s Word? Because of our lack of knowledge many of our children are suffering from bondage to repeated sin? Hosea 4:6: My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. We have never had easier access to the Bible than what we have today so there is no excuse for not knowing or seeking after the truth in God’s Word!
Many Christians try and use the following scriptures in II Chronicles, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel to say that children cannot re-connect or be visited by the iniquity (same sin as) their forefathers. However, these scriptures say that the children will not directly die or Hebrew be slain for their ancestors iniquities (sins); but it says nothing about being visited by, or repeating their sin. II Chronicles 25:4: But he slew not their children, but did as it is written in the law in the book of Moses, where the Lord commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin. Jeremiah 31:30: But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge. Ezekiel 18:2-4, 20: What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel. Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die. The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. The scriptures in II Chronicles, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel talk about physical death – not spiritual visitation. What many Christians do not understand is that the commandment in Exodus 20:4-6 and Deuteronomy 5:8-10 does not say that the children will die or be slain for the iniquity of the fathers but this commandment says they will be “visited with the iniquity of the fathers”. This commandment talks about evil spiritual visitation, not physical death. Christians cannot use II Chronicles, Jeremiah, or Ezekiel to try and invalidate the commandment in Exodus 20:4-6 and Deuteronomy 5:8-10. Being visited with the iniquity of our ancestors does not mean we will physically die or be slain for their sins; but it means the same evil pattern of temptation, or same evil spirits, will visit our lives and tempt us to repeat or re-connect the same type of sins that our ancestors committed. Though we may not die [directly] or be slain for their sins, if we repeat their sins we may die for the sins we have committed (sins which may be very similar to theirs). We will die spiritually and physically because they did not teach us the true word of God – which is why we, and they, are in bondage! They did not teach us to turn from man-made idols but taught us to change the names of them, creating evil doorways in our life. Ezekiel 18:30-32: Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin. Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.
Once we have asked God’s Son, Jesus Christ, into our heart it is our responsibility to begin seeking the truth of God’s Word; not just to follow man’s religious traditions. When a Christian sincerely seeks God’s truth they will desire to obey His laws and commandments. But, because many Christians are not earnestly reading God’s Word (His law), and hiding it in their heart, they are not following His truth. Psalm 119:11: Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. Instead of reading their Bibles Christians are following the traditions of men – men like their religious ancestors. Due to our own lack of knowledge about God’s Word and His commandments cursed objects have been passed down to us through religious tradition, allowing many Christians to be visited with the iniquity of their ancestors. Exactly what God warns in Exodus 20:4-6 and Deuteronomy 5:8-10. It is because many Christians do not know God’s truth that they continue to allow the same patterns of temptation into their life as their ancestors – even though they are saved. To some, in each generation, continual temptation to sin becomes so overwhelming it causes bondage (spiritual imprisonment) – yes, even after salvation their mind, will, and emotions (soul) seem imprisoned. Psalm 142:7: Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name… (For more explanation on the role the soul and spirit play in our life see my website under “connection between soul and spirit”.) If Christians continue living in spiritual ignorance they, and their children, will Spiritually suffer! The family will continue to follow the same pattern of iniquity (sin), from generation to generation, being visited by the same evil unclean spirits! It is imperative after salvation that we throw away, or destroy, any unclean cursed items in our homes – items that are spiritually reinforcing evil visitations. When we receive Jesus Christ as our Savior we cannot continue to display cursed items in our homes, living again with the curse from which Jesus had set us free.
By using cursed items in our home to gain his entrance, Satan will try and reconstruct the same spiritual blueprint of iniquity in our life that he had in our ancestors. He will try and tempt us, and our children, into committing the same type of sins as our ancestors, and to some the temptation to repeat ancestral sins will be overwhelming. Like our parents before us, we are responsible when we do not teach our children the truth about God’s Word and His Commandments, and though our children will not die or be slain for our sins they may follow our same sinful pattern and may die for their own sins spiritually and physically! Proverbs 19:16: He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die. A generational pattern of iniquity (which is a generational pattern of sin) is not a physical death for what our ancestors have done, it is evil spiritual visitation for what they have not done – they have not taught us the truth! The truth is, as Christians, we allow evil spiritual visitation when we have cursed objects in our homes, and this evil visitation can result in the re-connection of a generational pattern of iniquity – in our life, and our children’s lives. Resulting in our children being Spiritually lost throughout eternity. Deuteronomy 7:26: Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing. Many of our cursed objects or heirlooms are passed down from generation to generation – however this is not always the case, because any cursed object will have the same spiritual affect regardless of where, or who, it comes from! Hosea 4:6: My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. It is also interesting to know that the word ‘loom’ (from heirloom) in the American Heritage Dictionary (Second College Edition) © 1982 Houghton Mifflin Company page 742 is: “To come into view as a massive, distorted, or indistinct image. To appear to the mind in a magnified and threatening form. A distorted, threatening appearance of something, as through fog or darkness”. As Christians we must recognize that cursed ‘physical heirlooms’ result in ‘spiritual heirlooms’ – which is: spiritual distortion, fog, and darkness!
If we do not teach our children the true wisdom and knowledge that comes from God’s Word they will be led down the wrong path, following the way of the fools that despise and refuse to accept the wisdom and knowledge of God. Proverbs 1:20-33: Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying; How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? And the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? Turn you at my reproof: Behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at naught all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord: They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil. I know this seems harsh, but it is God’s Word! However, there is another side to this. Look at the following scripture and see what a blessing it can be to us, and to our children, when we accept the wisdom and knowledge of God. Proverbs 2:1-12: My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints. Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path. Then wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee: To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh forward things. Proverbs 3:1-2: My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. Praise the Lord! These are the blessings that we need to leave for our children, the wisdom and knowledge of God’s Word the Bible. We must teach our children how to pick up their Bible in their hand and read it with their eyes! Deuteronomy 6:8: And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
Psalm 145:4: One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. We all have access to God’s Word and are without excuse, especially as parents, if we do not to teach our children the knowledge of the truth. Hebrews 10:26: For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins.
The commandments say in Exodus 20:5 and Deuteronomy 5:9 that our children will be …visited with the iniquity of the fathers unto the third and fourth generations. If we do not heed God’s law, which is His Word, our Children may be forgotten of the Lord. Hosea 4:6: My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. I know that God’s Word says in Hebrews 13:5 that He will never leave nor forsake us but by our own disobedience to His commandments we are the ones who are forsaking Him!
Using our family’s generational pattern of iniquity (sin) as his guide, Satan knows how to tempt us individually. If a particular sin(s) worked with our ancestors it will probably work for us, or our children, because Satan uses past generations as his guideline of temptation. Satan assigns his evil spirits, following that same guideline, to try and tempt our entire bloodline. The evil spirit(s) assigned to us and our future generations (because of the generational pattern of iniquity of our previous generations) are what the Bible calls ‘familiar spirits’. These evil spirits are ‘familiar’ with our family’s history of sin. In the Thesaurus the word ‘familiar’ is listed under “demon”. Our children may not necessarily die a physical death for our sin, but they will not be able to stop sinning if we do not teach them the truth of God’s Word. They in turn may die for their own sin. Being unable to resist the temptation to sin they will be fair game for Satan. The end result of continued sin is spiritual death. Spiritual death is an eternity without God. As Christians, an important first step in breaking any re-connection to a generational pattern of sin (iniquity) is to recognize and teach our children what is, in fact, sin – and what the generational re-connectors are to that sin.
Satan wants to keep us blind to his devices. He does not want Christians to know the truth. Jeremiah 5:21: Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not. Isaiah 42:18-20: Hear, ye deaf, and look, ye blind, that ye may see. Who is blind, but my servant? Or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? Who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the Lord’s servant? Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not. As Christians, we must open our Spiritual eyes to the truth by reading and receiving the knowledge and wisdom that comes from God’s Word. John 17:17: Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
We must open our eyes Spiritually and notice any pattern of sin and iniquity that may be running in our family, such as: alcoholism, suicide, smoking, drug addiction, divorce, depression, fear, eating disorders, lying, stealing, gambling, poverty, violence, anger, perversion, homosexuality, rape, murder, rebellion, stubbornness, idolatry, witchcraft, etc. Notice that the following scripture ties stubbornness to idolatry! I Samuel 15:23: For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. With the Lord’s help the pattern can be stopped for good in our generation and future generations of our family, but only when we teach our children the truth of God’s Word and His commandments. Psalm 78:6-8: That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children: That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments: And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.
If we do not learn the truth of God’s Word, and teach that truth to our children, we will never experience the true walk of freedom that God intends for us to have. Salvation comes only through Jesus Christ, and from the moment of salvation we begin our walk. We then start reading and learning God’s Word. Jesus Christ is the Word (John 1:1 and Revelation 19:13) and to truly continue in Him we must learn His Word, the Bible, and teach it to our children. John 8:31-36: Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. Jesus Christ sets us free from sin and does not want us giving in to continual temptation to sin – He wants His people, and their children, to be free indeed!

If either you or your ancestors have had any involvement in the ‘un-Godly practices and organizations’ listed on my “things to remove” document; or if your family has a history of abuse, divorce, depression, anorexia, bulimia, gluttony, suicide, cutting/self-torture, sadomasochism, alcoholism, smoking, marijuana, any drug addiction, anger, control, jealousy, pornography, homosexuality, stealing, poverty, lying, fear, witchcraft, idolatry, stubbornness, rebellion, racism, etc.; or have practiced any form of martial arts, yoga, eastern meditation, etc.; or even in rare cases have committed murder (including serial murder), or rape – please say the prayer that follows. No matter what the sin (or generational pattern of sin) God can forgive and set the captive free! Isaiah 61:1-4 (also Luke 4:18-19): The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified. And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
Please say the following prayers (say the things listed, or anything else the Lord may lay on your heart when you get to the blanks below). You may also say the following prayer for your spouse (or ex-spouse’s) family to cover the bloodline of your children with prayer:
I proclaim that I am a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ my Risen Savior. Father God, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth (the true Messiah), I confess to you my sin(s) and the iniquity of my ancestors for _________ _________ _________. Not only have I confessed my sins, but the sins (iniquities) of my forefathers. Nehemiah 9:2: And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers. By doing the things they did they have (knowingly or unknowingly) allowed, and invited, evil visitation into my life. I ask you to forgive me for anything I may have done to reinforce this evil visitation. Forgive me for any way that I have (knowingly or unknowingly) re-connected this generational chain in my life. Please destroy this evil chain [pattern] of sin from my life, and I will remove any unclean objects or décor from my home. I acknowledge these things as sin, and I ask you to separate me from all evil visitations which I have allowed or invited into my life (due to my own sinful actions and/or unclean objects of décor). In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, and because of the Blood He shed for me, I command any and all evil spirits to leave me and my family. I destroy every evil assignment against us in the name of Jesus Christ closing every evil door that has been opened in our life through sins, evil dedications, and/or decorations. I ask you to cleanse me, and my family, with the shed Blood of Jesus Christ – and to remove every evil door, so that they may never be opened again. Psalm 18:2: The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. Proverbs 30:5: Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. From this day forward I receive only generational blessings in my life and my family. In Jesus name! Amen. I Chronicles 16:15: Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. Deuteronomy 7:9: Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations. Psalm 105:8: He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.

If either you, or your ancestors, have committed murder or been involved in (or have given money to) any organizations (i.e. witchcraft, Freemasons, Roman Catholicism, etc.) which practice or participate in ritualistic blood worship please say the following prayer (also please say this prayer if you have had, or have performed an abortion):
(Even if you yourself have not been involved in these organizations, or have participated in abortion or murder, but you have an ancestor who has, please say the following prayer. Or, if to your knowledge, your spouse’s family may have participated in these things please say the following prayer and cover your children.)
I proclaim that I am a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ, and Him only shall I serve. Matthew 4:10 and Luke 4:8: Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, THOU SHALT WORSHIP THE LORD THY GOD, AND HIM ONLY SHALT THOU SERVE. Right now in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth (the true Messiah) and through His precious Blood I cancel and destroy every vow, pact, or promise that I or my ancestors have ever made with any un-Godly organization. I also cancel and destroy any vow, pact, or promise made to Satan due to involvement in any un-Godly organization [this includes all ritualistic sacrifice and/or blood drinking, blood bathing, blood shedding of any kind]. I even repent for cutting myself. I ask forgiveness and cancel all pledges and dedications made to Satan, especially if I or my kids were ever dedicated to Satan. I come against any spirit of destruction that Satan would try to place on me or my family in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. I take authority over all his evil assignments against me and my family. I cancel them all in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Because of the Blood that Jesus shed for me on the cross, and because He is alive and sits at the right hand of God (even now) making intercession for me, all evil vows, pacts, and promises made to Satan are destroyed. I, and my family, belong to Jesus Christ! From this day forward I will serve Jesus Christ, and I will pray and study His Word (the Bible) and will teach my children the truth of God’s Word. Ephesians 6:10-18: Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. Hebrews 4:12: For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. James 4:7: Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

A few scriptures about oil (anointing):
Genesis 28:18
Leviticus 8: 10
Isaiah 10:27; Isaiah 61:3 (oil of joy)
God wants to take His people on a journey out of spiritual Egypt, and out of our spiritual houses of bondage. Deuteronomy 6:12: Then beware lest thou forget the Lord, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. Deuteronomy 8:14: Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the Lord thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. Through God’s Word we will also see how having cursed items in our homes has allowed us to be spiritually visited with the iniquity of our forefathers. By having cursed items in our homes we create unclean spiritual doorways that allow evil spirits access to our life and to the lives of our family. Until we remove these items this evil access can, and will, allow temptation into our life – the same evil temptation and enticement that visited our ancestors. Our ancestor’s lives are the spiritual blue print through which Satan and his evil spirits tempt us. Due to lack of knowledge about God’s Word we, as Christians, are repeating many of the same sinful habits as some of our forefathers, and we are living in bondage. The Lord God never intended for His people to live a life of bondage to the devil! Our mind can be at peace and we can be set free from bondage to Satan’s devices! John 14:27: Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
When Christians participate in any practice that is contrary to the Word of God it will result in evil bondage, addiction, and oppression of the mind, flesh, and emotions (soul). God does not want Satan’s things, or practices, in the temple of our home or mind! Jesus Christ died for us to set us free from the curse, but will we continue to stay free while practicing or living among the ‘accursed’? Acts 19:18-19: And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds. Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. The Greek word for ‘curious’ in Acts 19:19 is “periergos, per-ee’-er-gos; …magic”. Deuteronomy 7:26: Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shall utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing. Joshua 6:18: And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing lest ye make yourselves accursed when ye take of the accursed thing and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it. The Hebrew word for ‘cursed’ in Deuteronomy 7:26 and for ‘accursed’ in Joshua 6:18 “keep yourselves from the accursed thing” is “cherem, kheh’-rem; …usually a doomed object… dedicated thing, things which should have been utterly destroyed, (appointed to) utter destruction, devoted (thing)”. The Hebrew word for ‘accursed’ in Joshua 6:18 “lest ye make yourselves accursed” is “charam, khaw-ram’; …to seclude… to devote to religious uses (espec. destruction)… make accursed… (utterly) destroy… forfeit”. See my list of subjects concerning ‘familiar spirits’, ‘necromancy’, ‘ventriloquism’, and ‘pantomime’.
The main thing that Christians need to know is the truth behind the false spiritual practices they are participating in, or allowing their children to participate in, and how it is being disguised as innocent. They need to know the true meaning behind the things they have in their home, because it is hindering their relationship with God and is keeping them in bondage and addiction. Any Christian can re-open a generational door of iniquity (which is a generational pattern of bondage and addiction) in their life by having cursed objects in their home that are symbolic of false religion and their gods. These cursed things are an abomination to the One and Only True God! Jesus sets us free from the curse so why do we want to reconnect it by continuing to live among things that are allowing this reconnection. Deuteronomy 23:14: For the Lord thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee. II Corinthians 6:16-17: And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. Acts 15:20: But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood. I John 5:21: Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen. I Thessalonians 1:9: For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God. The Greek word for ‘idols’ in II Corinthians 6:16 and I John 5:21 is “eidolon, i’-do-lon; an image, (i.e. for worship)… a heathen god… or the worship of such”.
As Christians, do we really recognize the evil spiritual roots that are behind the problems we are facing today? Do we see that we (yes Christians) have helped water these spiritually evil roots through our own religious and generational traditions? Within the pages of my website shoutingfromtherooptop.com you will find information concerning religious traditions, and how these traditions have ultimately led to many of the problems and issues that are affecting our world today. On my website I discuss various issues; but the main focus will be the Spiritual and physical cleansing of our homes and churches. When specific items are removed temptations and confusion of the mind are removed also. Throughout the entire website you will find scripture about the importance of removing unclean items from our homes and churches. After reading my website in its entirety you will see that you have never read a website quite like this one!
Our children will Spiritually suffer the consequences of what we do not teach them! In II Kings Chapter 22 we read about Josiah a young boy who became King at 8 years of age. Josiah was nearly destroyed because of what His father did not teach him concerning God’s laws and commandments. God teaches us in His Word that we are to love and obey Him with all our heart, and teach our children to do the same. Yet, Josiah was not taught. He did not realize how strongly God felt against the pagan abominations and practices that literally surrounded him – strong enough that God was about to pour out His wrath. II Chronicles 34:25: Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be poured out upon this place, and shall not be quenched. When Josiah finally heard the book of the law, which was read to him by Shaphan the scribe, he tore his clothes as a symbol of his grief. II Kings 22:11: And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent (tore) his clothes. Afterward, Josiah sent Hilkiah the priest to Huldah the prophetess and she enquired of the Lord for him (Josiah). II Kings 22:13: Go ye, enquire of the Lord for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found: for great is the wrath of the Lord that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not hearkened unto the words of this book, to do according unto all which is written concerning us. II Chronicles 34:22-24: And Hilkiah, and they that the king had appointed, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college:) and they spake to her to the effect. And she answered them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Tell ye the man that sent you to me, Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the King of Judah.
If you read II Kings Chapters 22 & 23 and II Chronicles Chapter 34 you will see how Josiah completely destroyed all the idolatrous images! He also broke down the houses of the sodomites – homosexuals. Josiah was obedient to God’s Word (as soon as he learned the truth); but he nearly suffered the consequences of what his father had not taught him. When Josiah heard God’s Word he immediately humbled himself and repented for the disobedience of the people (including his own father’s disobedience) – and God heard Josiah. After Josiah repented God sent word to Josiah, through Hulda the prophetess, by Hilkiah the priest. II Chronicles 34:26-27: And as for the king of Judah, who sent you to enquire of the Lord, so shall ye say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel concerning the words which thou hast heard; Because thine heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou heardest his words against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and humbledst thyself before me, and didst rend thy clothes, and weep before me; I have even heard thee also, saith the Lord. II Kings 22:19-20: Because thine heart was tender, and thou has humbled thyself before the Lord, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and has rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith the Lord. Behold therefore, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered into thy grave in peace, and thine eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again. Notice that God did not delay his wrath because Josiah did not know the book of the law. God delayed His wrath only when Josiah repented for not knowing and obeying God’s law. Josiah was living among every abomination that God’s Word warns against, and although Josiah did not know what God’s law said he still nearly suffered the consequences for what his father had not taught him. Are we, or our children, suffering the consequences of what our own parents did not teach us concerning God’s Word? Because of our lack of knowledge many of our children are suffering from bondage to repeated sin? Hosea 4:6: My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. We have never had easier access to the Bible than what we have today so there is no excuse for not knowing or seeking after the truth in God’s Word!
Many Christians try and use the following scriptures in II Chronicles, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel to say that children cannot re-connect or be visited by the iniquity (same sin as) their forefathers. However, these scriptures say that the children will not directly die or Hebrew be slain for their ancestors iniquities (sins); but it says nothing about being visited by, or repeating their sin. II Chronicles 25:4: But he slew not their children, but did as it is written in the law in the book of Moses, where the Lord commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin. Jeremiah 31:30: But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge. Ezekiel 18:2-4, 20: What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel. Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die. The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. The scriptures in II Chronicles, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel talk about physical death – not spiritual visitation. What many Christians do not understand is that the commandment in Exodus 20:4-6 and Deuteronomy 5:8-10 does not say that the children will die or be slain for the iniquity of the fathers but this commandment says they will be “visited with the iniquity of the fathers”. This commandment talks about evil spiritual visitation, not physical death. Christians cannot use II Chronicles, Jeremiah, or Ezekiel to try and invalidate the commandment in Exodus 20:4-6 and Deuteronomy 5:8-10. Being visited with the iniquity of our ancestors does not mean we will physically die or be slain for their sins; but it means the same evil pattern of temptation, or same evil spirits, will visit our lives and tempt us to repeat or re-connect the same type of sins that our ancestors committed. Though we may not die [directly] or be slain for their sins, if we repeat their sins we may die for the sins we have committed (sins which may be very similar to theirs). We will die spiritually and physically because they did not teach us the true word of God – which is why we, and they, are in bondage! They did not teach us to turn from man-made idols but taught us to change the names of them, creating evil doorways in our life. Ezekiel 18:30-32: Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin. Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.
Once we have asked God’s Son, Jesus Christ, into our heart it is our responsibility to begin seeking the truth of God’s Word; not just to follow man’s religious traditions. When a Christian sincerely seeks God’s truth they will desire to obey His laws and commandments. But, because many Christians are not earnestly reading God’s Word (His law), and hiding it in their heart, they are not following His truth. Psalm 119:11: Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. Instead of reading their Bibles Christians are following the traditions of men – men like their religious ancestors. Due to our own lack of knowledge about God’s Word and His commandments cursed objects have been passed down to us through religious tradition, allowing many Christians to be visited with the iniquity of their ancestors. Exactly what God warns in Exodus 20:4-6 and Deuteronomy 5:8-10. It is because many Christians do not know God’s truth that they continue to allow the same patterns of temptation into their life as their ancestors – even though they are saved. To some, in each generation, continual temptation to sin becomes so overwhelming it causes bondage (spiritual imprisonment) – yes, even after salvation their mind, will, and emotions (soul) seem imprisoned. Psalm 142:7: Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name… (For more explanation on the role the soul and spirit play in our life see my website under “connection between soul and spirit”.) If Christians continue living in spiritual ignorance they, and their children, will Spiritually suffer! The family will continue to follow the same pattern of iniquity (sin), from generation to generation, being visited by the same evil unclean spirits! It is imperative after salvation that we throw away, or destroy, any unclean cursed items in our homes – items that are spiritually reinforcing evil visitations. When we receive Jesus Christ as our Savior we cannot continue to display cursed items in our homes, living again with the curse from which Jesus had set us free.
By using cursed items in our home to gain his entrance, Satan will try and reconstruct the same spiritual blueprint of iniquity in our life that he had in our ancestors. He will try and tempt us, and our children, into committing the same type of sins as our ancestors, and to some the temptation to repeat ancestral sins will be overwhelming. Like our parents before us, we are responsible when we do not teach our children the truth about God’s Word and His Commandments, and though our children will not die or be slain for our sins they may follow our same sinful pattern and may die for their own sins spiritually and physically! Proverbs 19:16: He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die. A generational pattern of iniquity (which is a generational pattern of sin) is not a physical death for what our ancestors have done, it is evil spiritual visitation for what they have not done – they have not taught us the truth! The truth is, as Christians, we allow evil spiritual visitation when we have cursed objects in our homes, and this evil visitation can result in the re-connection of a generational pattern of iniquity – in our life, and our children’s lives. Resulting in our children being Spiritually lost throughout eternity. Deuteronomy 7:26: Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing. Many of our cursed objects or heirlooms are passed down from generation to generation – however this is not always the case, because any cursed object will have the same spiritual affect regardless of where, or who, it comes from! Hosea 4:6: My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. It is also interesting to know that the word ‘loom’ (from heirloom) in the American Heritage Dictionary (Second College Edition) © 1982 Houghton Mifflin Company page 742 is: “To come into view as a massive, distorted, or indistinct image. To appear to the mind in a magnified and threatening form. A distorted, threatening appearance of something, as through fog or darkness”. As Christians we must recognize that cursed ‘physical heirlooms’ result in ‘spiritual heirlooms’ – which is: spiritual distortion, fog, and darkness!
If we do not teach our children the true wisdom and knowledge that comes from God’s Word they will be led down the wrong path, following the way of the fools that despise and refuse to accept the wisdom and knowledge of God. Proverbs 1:20-33: Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying; How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? And the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? Turn you at my reproof: Behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at naught all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord: They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil. I know this seems harsh, but it is God’s Word! However, there is another side to this. Look at the following scripture and see what a blessing it can be to us, and to our children, when we accept the wisdom and knowledge of God. Proverbs 2:1-12: My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints. Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path. Then wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee: To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh forward things. Proverbs 3:1-2: My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. Praise the Lord! These are the blessings that we need to leave for our children, the wisdom and knowledge of God’s Word the Bible. We must teach our children how to pick up their Bible in their hand and read it with their eyes! Deuteronomy 6:8: And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
Psalm 145:4: One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. We all have access to God’s Word and are without excuse, especially as parents, if we do not to teach our children the knowledge of the truth. Hebrews 10:26: For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins.
The commandments say in Exodus 20:5 and Deuteronomy 5:9 that our children will be …visited with the iniquity of the fathers unto the third and fourth generations. If we do not heed God’s law, which is His Word, our Children may be forgotten of the Lord. Hosea 4:6: My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. I know that God’s Word says in Hebrews 13:5 that He will never leave nor forsake us but by our own disobedience to His commandments we are the ones who are forsaking Him!
Using our family’s generational pattern of iniquity (sin) as his guide, Satan knows how to tempt us individually. If a particular sin(s) worked with our ancestors it will probably work for us, or our children, because Satan uses past generations as his guideline of temptation. Satan assigns his evil spirits, following that same guideline, to try and tempt our entire bloodline. The evil spirit(s) assigned to us and our future generations (because of the generational pattern of iniquity of our previous generations) are what the Bible calls ‘familiar spirits’. These evil spirits are ‘familiar’ with our family’s history of sin. In the Thesaurus the word ‘familiar’ is listed under “demon”. Our children may not necessarily die a physical death for our sin, but they will not be able to stop sinning if we do not teach them the truth of God’s Word. They in turn may die for their own sin. Being unable to resist the temptation to sin they will be fair game for Satan. The end result of continued sin is spiritual death. Spiritual death is an eternity without God. As Christians, an important first step in breaking any re-connection to a generational pattern of sin (iniquity) is to recognize and teach our children what is, in fact, sin – and what the generational re-connectors are to that sin.
Satan wants to keep us blind to his devices. He does not want Christians to know the truth. Jeremiah 5:21: Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not. Isaiah 42:18-20: Hear, ye deaf, and look, ye blind, that ye may see. Who is blind, but my servant? Or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? Who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the Lord’s servant? Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not. As Christians, we must open our Spiritual eyes to the truth by reading and receiving the knowledge and wisdom that comes from God’s Word. John 17:17: Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
We must open our eyes Spiritually and notice any pattern of sin and iniquity that may be running in our family, such as: alcoholism, suicide, smoking, drug addiction, divorce, depression, fear, eating disorders, lying, stealing, gambling, poverty, violence, anger, perversion, homosexuality, rape, murder, rebellion, stubbornness, idolatry, witchcraft, etc. Notice that the following scripture ties stubbornness to idolatry! I Samuel 15:23: For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. With the Lord’s help the pattern can be stopped for good in our generation and future generations of our family, but only when we teach our children the truth of God’s Word and His commandments. Psalm 78:6-8: That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children: That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments: And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.
If we do not learn the truth of God’s Word, and teach that truth to our children, we will never experience the true walk of freedom that God intends for us to have. Salvation comes only through Jesus Christ, and from the moment of salvation we begin our walk. We then start reading and learning God’s Word. Jesus Christ is the Word (John 1:1 and Revelation 19:13) and to truly continue in Him we must learn His Word, the Bible, and teach it to our children. John 8:31-36: Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. Jesus Christ sets us free from sin and does not want us giving in to continual temptation to sin – He wants His people, and their children, to be free indeed!

If either you or your ancestors have had any involvement in the ‘un-Godly practices and organizations’ listed on my “things to remove” document; or if your family has a history of abuse, divorce, depression, anorexia, bulimia, gluttony, suicide, cutting/self-torture, sadomasochism, alcoholism, smoking, marijuana, any drug addiction, anger, control, jealousy, pornography, homosexuality, stealing, poverty, lying, fear, witchcraft, idolatry, stubbornness, rebellion, racism, etc.; or have practiced any form of martial arts, yoga, eastern meditation, etc.; or even in rare cases have committed murder (including serial murder), or rape – please say the prayer that follows. No matter what the sin (or generational pattern of sin) God can forgive and set the captive free! Isaiah 61:1-4 (also Luke 4:18-19): The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified. And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
Please say the following prayers (say the things listed, or anything else the Lord may lay on your heart when you get to the blanks below). You may also say the following prayer for your spouse (or ex-spouse’s) family to cover the bloodline of your children with prayer:
I proclaim that I am a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ my Risen Savior. Father God, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth (the true Messiah), I confess to you my sin(s) and the iniquity of my ancestors for _________ _________ _________. Not only have I confessed my sins, but the sins (iniquities) of my forefathers. Nehemiah 9:2: And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers. By doing the things they did they have (knowingly or unknowingly) allowed, and invited, evil visitation into my life. I ask you to forgive me for anything I may have done to reinforce this evil visitation. Forgive me for any way that I have (knowingly or unknowingly) re-connected this generational chain in my life. Please destroy this evil chain [pattern] of sin from my life, and I will remove any unclean objects or décor from my home. I acknowledge these things as sin, and I ask you to separate me from all evil visitations which I have allowed or invited into my life (due to my own sinful actions and/or unclean objects of décor). In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, and because of the Blood He shed for me, I command any and all evil spirits to leave me and my family. I destroy every evil assignment against us in the name of Jesus Christ closing every evil door that has been opened in our life through sins, evil dedications, and/or decorations. I ask you to cleanse me, and my family, with the shed Blood of Jesus Christ – and to remove every evil door, so that they may never be opened again. Psalm 18:2: The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. Proverbs 30:5: Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. From this day forward I receive only generational blessings in my life and my family. In Jesus name!

If either you, or your ancestors, have committed murder or been involved in (or have given money to) any organizations (i.e. witchcraft, Freemasons, Roman Catholicism, etc.) which practice or participate in ritualistic blood worship please say the following prayer (also please say this prayer if you have had, or have performed an abortion):
(Even if you yourself have not been involved in these organizations, or have participated in abortion or murder, but you have an ancestor who has, please say the following prayer. Or, if to your knowledge, your spouse’s family may have participated in these things please say the following prayer and cover your children.)
I proclaim that I am a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ, and Him only shall I serve. Matthew 4:10 and Luke 4:8: Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, THOU SHALT WORSHIP THE LORD THY GOD, AND HIM ONLY SHALT THOU SERVE. Right now in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth (the true Messiah) and through His precious Blood I cancel and destroy every vow, pact, or promise that I or my ancestors have ever made with any un-Godly organization. I also cancel and destroy any vow, pact, or promise made to Satan due to involvement in any un-Godly organization [this includes all ritualistic sacrifice and/or blood drinking, blood bathing, blood shedding of any kind]. I even repent for cutting myself. I ask forgiveness and cancel all pledges and dedications made to Satan, especially if I or my kids were ever dedicated to Satan. I come against any spirit of destruction that Satan would try to place on me or my family in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. I take authority over all his evil assignments against me and my family. I cancel them all in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Because of the Blood that Jesus shed for me on the cross, and because He is alive and sits at the right hand of God (even now) making intercession for me, all evil vows, pacts, and promises made to Satan are destroyed. I, and my family, belong to Jesus Christ! From this day forward I will serve Jesus Christ, and I will pray and study His Word (the Bible) and will teach my children the truth of God’s Word. Ephesians 6:10-18: Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. Hebrews 4:12: For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. James 4:7: Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
