Steps To Take Now That The Curse Has Been Broken: The Curse Ends Here: How To Break Free From Family Iniquity Journey
Introduction
When you take a stand in faith and break free from the generational curses and iniquity that have plagued your family line, it is an act of great spiritual significance. But the journey doesn't end with breaking those chains. In fact, it is just the beginning of walking in the freedom and blessings that God has promised. Now that the curse has been broken, you must take specific steps to ensure that the victory you’ve gained is maintained, and that future generations walk in the light of that victory.
In this chapter, we will look at the necessary steps you must take now that the curse has been broken. These steps are essential to walking in the fullness of God’s freedom and to ensuring that your family line is completely restored and set apart for God’s purposes.
1. Establish a Life of Prayer and Worship
Breaking free from family iniquity begins with spiritual warfare, but the ongoing process of walking in that freedom requires constant communion with God through prayer and worship. Establishing a habit of prayer and worship in your daily life strengthens your relationship with God and ensures that you remain connected to His will.
“I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.” (Psalm 34:1)
Consistent prayer and worship are key to maintaining freedom. Through prayer, you invite God's presence into every part of your life, and you continually surrender your heart and mind to Him. Worship is a powerful weapon, declaring God's greatness and sovereignty over your life, including your family.
Yeshua’s teaching on prayer in the Gospels also emphasizes the importance of this relationship with God:
“Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:9-10)
By praying in this way, we align our hearts with God’s purposes and ask for His kingdom to manifest in our lives, including in the generations that follow. As you walk in this daily discipline of prayer, you guard yourself against the return of the enemy’s influence over your family line.
2. Renounce and Remove Any Remaining Strongholds
Though the curse has been broken, there may still be lingering strongholds—ways of thinking, behaviors, or spiritual entanglements—that need to be dealt with. It is important to renounce any remaining sin, idols, or agreements made in the past that may still have a foothold in your life.
In the Tanakh, we see the importance of removing idols and false practices as part of walking in freedom:
“But if you return to Me and obey My commandments and do them, though your outcasts were at the ends of the earth, from there I will gather them and bring them to the place I have chosen as a dwelling for My Name.” (Nehemiah 1:9)
This verse highlights the need for obedience to God’s commandments. In addition to repenting and renouncing past sins, you must actively remove any remnants of idolatry or false practices from your life. This may mean distancing yourself from harmful relationships, rejecting sinful patterns, and purging your home of any items or influences that do not align with God's will.
Yeshua, in His ministry, also speaks of the importance of walking away from what does not align with God's purposes:
“If anyone would come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me.” (Luke 9:23)
By rejecting any remaining entanglements with past curses, you ensure that you continue to walk in God’s freedom, leaving no door open for the enemy to re-enter your life.
3. Renew Your Mind with God’s Word
One of the key steps to maintaining freedom is renewing your mind with God’s Word. Our thoughts shape our actions, and the Word of God is the most powerful tool for transforming the way we think and live.
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” (Romans 12:2)
Though this verse comes from a letter written by Paul, the principle remains true throughout Scripture. The psalmist writes:
“I have stored up Your word in my heart, that I might not sin against You.” (Psalm 119:11)
To guard your freedom, it is essential to immerse yourself in the truth of God's Word, which will guard you against the lies of the enemy. Fill your heart with His promises, meditate on them, and declare them over your life. By doing so, you protect yourself from slipping back into old patterns and instead create a new, godly mindset that aligns with His will.
Yeshua Himself relied on the Word of God to resist temptation and to stay on course with the Father’s will. He taught His disciples to do the same:
“But He answered, ‘It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” (Matthew 4:4)
As you fill your mind and heart with God's Word, you will strengthen your inner being to resist the pressures and temptations of this world. The renewing of your mind ensures that you walk in the victory Yeshua has won for you, and it keeps you free from the past.
4. Walk in Obedience to God’s Commandments
Obedience to God's commandments is essential for maintaining the freedom you have received. In the Tanakh, God clearly instructs His people to walk in His ways as a sign of their covenant relationship with Him:
“If you obey the voice of the LORD your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes that are written in this book of the law, if you turn to the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, then the LORD your God will restore your fortunes and have compassion on you.” (Deuteronomy 30:10)
Obedience to God is not about legalism; it is about aligning your heart with His will and stepping into the fullness of His blessings. By living according to God’s commandments, you ensure that the blessings of freedom you now enjoy will continue to flow in your life and into future generations.
Yeshua taught His followers the importance of obedience:
“If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.” (John 14:15)
Walking in obedience shows our love for God and positions us to receive His blessings. As we remain faithful in following His commandments, we safeguard the freedom we have been given and ensure that the generational curses are never allowed to resurface.
5. Pass the Blessings to the Next Generation
Breaking free from family iniquity is not just for your own benefit, but also for the future generations. As you experience freedom, it is essential to pass on the blessings and truths of God to your children and grandchildren.
“But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” (Joshua 24:15)
By making a commitment to raise your family in the ways of the Lord, you set them up for a future free from the iniquities of the past. This involves teaching them God’s Word, leading them in prayer, and demonstrating godly living. It is a generational responsibility to ensure that the cycle of iniquity is broken for good.
Yeshua also encouraged His disciples to pass on His teachings to others:
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.” (Matthew 28:19-20)
As you pass on God’s Word and His promises, you ensure that the blessing of freedom continues in your family line. The legacy of righteousness you establish now will impact not only your children but their children as well.
Conclusion
Now that the curse has been broken, your journey of freedom is only just beginning. By taking these steps—praying and worshiping daily, renouncing sin and strongholds, renewing your mind with God’s Word, walking in obedience, and passing on His blessings to future generations—you will walk in the fullness of God's promises.
The curse ends here. With every step you take in faith, you solidify the victory of Yeshua in your life and ensure that the blessings of freedom, restoration, and righteousness will flow not only to you but to your family line for generations to come.
