9.5 Breaking Free from Generational Sin

"When I grow up, I'm never going to do that." Have you ever said those words?

Maybe it was about something that your mom or dad would say or do that you would find just so annoying as a child?  And here you are twenty, thirty, or forty years later and you're doing the exact same thing.

Oh, it's so frustrating! And sometimes it can be as silly as a verbal phrase that you repeat that your mom or dad used to say, or maybe it's something more serious, darker, a generational sin that you find repeating itself and its pattern in one generation after another.

If this is you, friend, I have some good news: Jesus can break the power of those generational sins in your life.

This fall on the Prayers of REST Podcast we are getting honest with God about our temptations and struggles so that, by the power of the Holy Spirit at work within us, we can break free from the spiritual strongholds in our lives. Join us each week as we:

R - Recite God's Goodness
E - Express Your Neediness
S - Seek His Stillness
T - Trust His Faithfulness

If we want to break free from the sins and temptations holding us captive, it is so important that we pray proactively and repeatedly. That’s why my team created a special resource just for you!
