DEFINITION | GENERATIONAL CURSE
1. Definition of Generational Curse
a) What is labeled a generational curse is primarily based on the teaching of those within deliverance ministries who believe that certain people can "inherit" misfortune. They believe some people receive, from their ancestors, tendencies and weaknesses toward specific types or groups of sins. It is interesting to note that the Bible refers to fortune not as something that is inherited but as a "god" disobedient people can serve.
i) 11 'But it will be different for you that forsake me, who ignore Zion, my sacred hill, and worship Gad and Meni, the gods of LUCK and FATE (or destiny). 12 It will be your fate to die a violent death, because you did not answer when I called you or listen when I spoke. (Isaiah 65)
b) Some see such a "curse" as being caused by an evil spirit who has the power to harass the descendants of a particular person who is prone to commit certain sins. Still others see the "curse" as being a general "spiritual inheritance" in nature. Such curses are not thought to have a connection with heredity-based problems like a tendency to abuse alcohol.
c) Those who are under a generational curse, it is argued, are prone to committing certain types of sinful behavior. Solutions to the curse include having someone involved in a deliverance ministry "discern" the exact curse a person possesses. With this information the individual can then specifically renounce the curse(s). If it is believed that the cause of the curse is an actual evil spirit, the deliverance ministry will try to "cast it out."
