Do you believe that generational curses are still possible today? Do you believe that they can be broken? Here is one answer:
Question: "What does the Bible say about breaking generational curses?"
Answer: The Bible mentions “generational curses” in several places (Exodus 20:5; 34:7; Numbers 14:18; Deuteronomy 5:9). It sounds unfair for God to punish children for the sins of their fathers. However, this is looking at it from an earthly perspective. God knows that sin is passed down from one generation to the next. When a father has a sinful lifestyle, his children are likely to have the same sinful lifestyle as well. That is why it is not unjust for God to punish sin to the third or fourth generation – because they are committing the same sins their ancestors did. They are being punished for their own sins, not the sins of their ancestors. The Bible specifically tells us that God does not hold children accountable for the sins of their parents (Deuteronomy 24:16).
There is a trend in the church today to try and blame every sin and problem on some sort of generational curse. This is not Biblical. The cure for generational curses is salvation through Jesus Christ. When we become Christians, we are new creations (2 Corinthians 5:17). How can a child of God still be under God’s curse (Romans 8:1)? The cure, then, for a generational curse is faith in Christ and a life consecrated to Him (Romans 12:1-2).
Below is a prayer request for a family who believes to be expereincing a generational curse. The YWS family. Please pray for them.

I ask you remove whatever forces of the enemy that are attacking the YWS family in the name of Jesus by the authority of Jesus. Jesus is the name by which every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess, and by his stripes he has the power and authority over all. Let Jesus himself speak a word and command that this curse be broken by the power of his sacrafice and by his authority. For we know the enemy has no power except by that which the Father permits. We know that the son has power over all things given to him by the Father. We know Father, you have given all power to the Son. We call upon you right now, in the name of Jesus. We pray that the Holy Spirit fill what was taken and robbed, and that it forever be broken by the faith of the saints, in the name of Jesus, Amen.
