From Generational Curses to Generational Blessings

By Pastor Peter Adewole | Highwaves Church – The Home of the Holy Spirit.

Curses Are Real — But So Is the Cross

Let’s not sugarcoat it: generational curses are real. These are spiritual forces that show up as cycles of bondage, poverty, sickness, fear, and family dysfunction.

But here’s the truth the enemy doesn’t want you to know:

You don’t have to live under what Jesus already broke.

The cross didn’t just save your soul. It broke the curse. And if you’re in Christ, you are not under the power of the past — you're walking in the power of the blood.

When the Curse Was Hired — But Blocked

Let’s go to Numbers 23:6–8. Balak paid Balaam to curse God's people. The stage was set. Sacrifices were ready. But God wasn't moved.

“How shall I curse whom God has not cursed?” — Numbers 23:8 NKJV

That’s the moment everything shifted. Balaam couldn’t curse Israel because they were already covered. Not by Balaam's will, but by God’s Word.

You can’t hex what Heaven has already called holy.

8 Open Doors That Let Curses In

Curses don’t just “happen.” Scripture shows us there are spiritual doors people open — knowingly or unknowingly. Here are eight of them:

1. Disobedience to God’s Word

(Deuteronomy 28:15) Disobedience isn't just wrong — it's risky. It removes you from God’s covering.

2. Fear

(Job 3:25) Fear is faith in reverse. It’s spiritual agreement with the enemy’s plan.

3. Pride

(Acts 12:23) Pride doesn’t get rebuked — it gets judged. Even heaven won’t tolerate it.

4. Errant Speech

(2 Kings 7:2) Your words can either release breakthrough or block it.

5. Dishonoring Parents

(Deuteronomy 27:16) Long life and open heavens are tied to how you treat your parents.

6. Idolatry & Other gods

(Jeremiah 44:8) Crystals, sage, and false gods aren’t harmless, they’re spiritually dangerous.

7. Touching God’s Portion

(Malachi 3:9) Tithing is obedience. Withholding it creates a spiritual breach.

8. Rejecting Revelation

(Proverbs 21:16) When you stop growing in God, spiritual decay begins.

Jesus Broke Every Curse

“Christ has redeemed us from the curse…” — Galatians 3:13

Jesus didn’t just die for sin, He died to cancel the curses. At the cross, He disarmed every demonic power trying to repeat your family’s pain in your life.

You are not cursed. You are covered.

How to Break Free from Generational Curses

1. Recognize the spiritual nature of curses

Curses are demonic oppression, not just bad habits (Acts 10:38).

2. Know your position in Christ

You are seated in heavenly places, far above every power (Ephesians 2:6).

3. Stay aware of your oneness with Jesus

You are one spirit with the Lord (1 Corinthians 6:17).

4. Apply the blood of Jesus

The blood is not just symbolic, it’s legal protection (Exodus 12:13).

5. Declare: It ends with me

Curses may have started in your bloodline, but they stop with your covenant (Deuteronomy 7:9).

How to Stay Free from Curses

Keep the Word and Praise in Your Atmosphere

(Psalm 103:1–5) The devil doesn’t flee silence, he flees proclamation. Keep your home filled with praise and the Word.

Carry an “Uncurseable” Mentality

(Numbers 23:23) Curses look for agreement. But when you know who you are in Christ, they cannot land.

Exercise Your Spiritual Authority

(James 4:7) The devil doesn’t fear your church attendance — he fears your resistance.

You don’t fight for victory — you fight from it.

Final Declaration

“I am not cursed. I am not ordinary. I am not vulnerable.I am covered by the blood, marked by the covenant, and filled with the Spirit.Let it be said of my life — ‘Look what the Lord has done.’”

Call to Action

“I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing — therefore choose life.” — Deuteronomy 30:19

Choose blessing. Choose obedience. Choose to walk in covenant.Choose Jesus — and let the curse end with you.
