UNFORTUNATELY generational curses are not just limited or reserved to bloodlines, ancestors or generations past.

The reality is you can marry or forge business covenants that can tie you into a generational curse. Now, this is a very important point to note because most folks are not aware of this spiritual law. Firstly, marriages in and of itself are indeed covenants; scripture furthers adds that the two shall become one.

With the above being said, God specifically said to the children of Israel not to make any covenants with the inhabitants of Canaan, neither shall they establish marriages with them. In fact, God specifically said, “Do not give your daughters to their sons, neither allow their sons to marry your daughters”. The reason for this was they would eventually turn the children of Israel from their God and cause them to serve other gods.

God further instructed the children of Israel to destroy all their altars, break down their images, cut down their groves and burn their graven images with fire (Deuteronomy: 7:3-5).

In reading the above passage of scripture it would appear that God was biased or showed favouritism towards the children of Israel, however, he turned his attention to them because of the spiritual implications that these people and their objects carried as a result of their worshiping of demonic gods. So to forge any type of covenants with them, including marriage or being in possession of their demonic items, automatically brought a curse on their victims, thus making them inclusive of the generational curses that were already dominating the Canaanites.

This is why it is so important to do major research on your future husband or wife. It is your responsibility to do your homework in learning as much as possible about both sides of their family, particularly from a spiritual perspective.

I promise you in doing this you will save yourself enormous headaches, disappointments and financial losses in the future. Satan is adamant when it comes to securing a curse on us. The reason for this is to cause a continuous cycle of negativity to destroy our live but more importantly to keep us off our destiny. Make no mistake, covenants are secured by ignorance, meaning the curses will continue to dominate your life as long as you do not know that one even exists in your life.

Isn’t it amazing that even when the marriage has been dissolved you’re still experiencing the curses from it? Well, this is so because even though the physical marriage has been dissolved by the laws of the land, you must remember that you also made a spiritual covenant to be bound to that person. Therefore, if you did not break the spiritual part of the covenant then the curses still have a right to continue their cycle of defeat and negativity in your life.

Consequently, any items from that divorce that were not severed spiritually are all points of contact to continue the curse in your life and by extension your future relationships.

Have you noticed that most of the relationships you experienced after your divorce appear to be displaying the same characteristics as your past relationship? As usual, the relationship starts out fine, then out of no where the relationship becomes a repeat of your former relationship. Again, this is all happening because you do not understand the spiritual laws that are involved and it is as a result of your ignorance of spiritual laws that Satan is making a joke out of your life.

There has to be a spiritual severing of soul ties via the spiritual covenant that are still in place from the former relationship, accompanied by the getting rid of what came along with it, such as jewellery, property, clothing etc.

This is why God insisted that the children of Israel destroy anything thing that was remotely attached to the curse.

Do you recall the story of Achan in Joshua, chapter 7? Just like the rest of Israel he was told not to take of the “accursed thing” out of the city of Jericho once the walls of Jericho collapsed. Long story short, he did take of the accursed thing and as a result his wife and children, who had no idea of what he did, were killed with him. Question! Why were no one else killed? Well, no one else was married to Achan other than his wife, so as the head of his family the moment he made contact with the accursed thing he made everyone else in his family a part of the curse.

There is so much behind that tall dark and handsome guy; there is so much behind that drop dead gorgeous college degree holding woman.

In fact, what you’re failing to recognise are the iniquities embedded in the bloodline of a partner’s family lineage constitute a generational curse (Exodus 20:5, Exodus 34:7) that you will eventually one day have to contend with due to the covenant you have made with them.

Generational curses set limitations on families. It does not matter how educated, wealthy, healthy or prosperous that person may appear. There is indeed a set time before whatever generational curse begins to run its course in that individual’s life, and by extension your life, as a result of your marital or business covenant with them.

If you are divorced, please begin breaking the spiritual covenant that was simultaneously created when you physically got married the first time. As a reminder, there are two covenants that are established when marriage is involved and they are spiritual and physical covenants. This also applies to relationships where sexual intercourse was involved. Sexual intercourse establishes spiritual covenants, otherwise known as soul ties. This explains why every guy you meet turns out to be a loser or every woman you meet only wants you for what you can do for her. Break the soul ties or spiritual covenants that were created via sexual intercourse so that you can be realigned with your destiny and break the cycle of poor choices.
