The people God spoke to through the prophet Ezekiel believed that because the parents had addictions or the grandparents were depressed and lived with lack, the children were going to struggle with the same problems. They just accepted that generational problems were passed down and nothing could be done about it. But God said, “Why are you using the excuse that your problems came from your parents, the mistakes they made, or how they raised you? As long as I live, you are not bound by the negatives that were passed down to you.” People in your family line may have eaten the sour grapes, put you at a disadvantage, and passed along hardships that you didn’t choose, but God is about to remove what’s holding you back.

When Jesus declared, “It is finished,” on the cross, that included any generational baggage you inherited. Chains are breaking. God is putting an end to it, once and for all. There’s about to be generational breakthroughs, blessings, freedom, abundance, and joy—not just for you, but for your children and grandchildren. Rise up and say, “Today it ends.”

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You that I don’t have to be defined by my family’s past, by dysfunctions or limitations that were passed down to me. Thank You that I can take a stand and remove anything that is holding me back. I declare that I will be the difference maker who rises up to put it to an end. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
