Breaking Generational Curses - Lessons from Abraham’s Family Line

Updated: Jul 7

Below are bible verses to remove curses.


Do you have curses you can identify? Breaking generational curses or family curses is sometimes necessary. Breaking Generational Curses: Releasing God’s Power in Us, Our Children, and Our Destiny.


Generational curses can create patterns in our lives that hinder our success. Generational curses are archetypes and dark shadows that follow your family trees.  It is a kingdom of evil spirits found in Ephesians 6 by their fallen nature. That is why you act like your mom and dad. That is why your children already act like you.  They didn't learn those things; they came.

Not Every Thought is Yours

Have you ever said something in the heat of the moment and immediately wished you could take it back? You wonder, “Where did that come from?” The truth is, not every

thought or word originates with you. Sometimes, those thoughts are whispered by another voice—an enemy working through generational strongholds.

If you don’t understand the source of your thoughts, how can you discern whether it’s you, God, or an evil influence speaking? That’s why it’s so important to expose and break these curses.


Biblical Example: The Pattern of Lying in Abraham’s Bloodline

The Bible gives us clear evidence of generational curses through the story of Abraham:

  • In Genesis 12, Abraham lied to Pharaoh, claiming Sarah was his sister to protect himself.

  • In Genesis 20, he told the same lie to King Abimelech.

  • Later, his son Isaac repeated the same lie to a different King Abimelech in Genesis 26.

  • Rebekah, Isaac’s wife, then helped Jacob deceive Isaac.

  • Finally, Jacob’s sons lied about Joseph being dead after selling him into slavery (Genesis 37).

Lying, deception, and fear repeatedly manifested across four generations. These were not random occurrences—this was a generational curse.

What Jesus Did About the Curse

Many believers misunderstand what Jesus accomplished on the cross. He did not automatically eliminate the curses of the law; He broke their authority for all who would receive it through repentance and obedience.

“Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law…” (Galatians 3:13)

When we break God’s laws, Satan gains legal rights of a dorment curse to enforce the curses described in Deuteronomy 28. But through the blood of Jesus, we can revoke those rights. The key is obedience, repentance, and renouncing all generational ties, to find freedom.

How Generational Sin Affects Health and Behavior

When you visit a doctor, one of the first questions you’ll hear is, “Do you have a family history of…?” Science confirms what the Bible has taught all along—family patterns of disease, addiction, mental illness, and more are not just genetic. There is a spiritual inheritance behind many of them.

The Bible reveals that disobedience to God brings consequences down to “the third and fourth generation” (Exodus 34:7). These may include:

  • Autoimmune disorders

  • Mental health issues

  • Addictions

  • Infertility

  • Financial hardship

  • Emotional instability

  • Chronic fear and depression

These aren’t just “family traits”—they are spiritual strongholds passed through generations, often attached to trauma, bitterness, or sin.

Science and Psychology Confirm Spiritual Truths

Modern psychology shows us that behaviors like rage, addiction, and emotional dysfunction often appear in multiple generations. While genetics play a role, many of these are learned and spiritually rooted. The Bible refers to these as “familiar spirits”—demonic influences that follow bloodlines.

Deliverance from these patterns requires more than counseling. It requires spiritual warfare, deliverance, and repentance.


Why do doctors want to know your medical history? Was disease in the garden? Not at all. Because they are generational curses being passed down. They are inherited curses like a bent or weakness that the enemy will try to get you to activate.


Examples of Generational Curses:


Poverty and Financial Hardship

  • Cycles of debt, inability to prosper, financial mismanagement despite effort

  • Often tied to ancestors who robbed, cheated, or broke covenants

Addictions and Substance Abuse

·        Alcoholism, drug addiction, nicotine, or compulsive behaviors (gambling, pornography, etc.)

·        Often seen in multiple generations of a family

Divorce and Marital Breakdown

·        Divorce, abuse, adultery, or abandonment repeating in families

·        Can be rooted in betrayal, sexual sin, or soul ties

Mental Illness and Emotional Instability

·        Depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, suicidal tendencies

·        Sometimes tied to trauma, occult curses, Freemasonry, or rejection

Sickness and Disease

·        Inherited illnesses: cancer, heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune diseases

·        May be rooted in witchcraft, idolatry, or bloodline sins

Sexual Perversion and Abuse

·        Incest, molestation, rape, homosexuality, adultery, or fornication in the bloodline

·        Generational sexual sin opens the door to unclean spirits

Anger, Rage, and Violence

·        Families plagued with uncontrollable temper, physical abuse, murder

·        Can result from bloodshed, abortion, or war involvement

And much more

Freedom Flows from Repentance

If no one in your family stands in the gap, the curse will continue. But if you rise up in Christ and break it, blessing will replace bondage, and healing will flow to your descendants. You are not only fighting for yourself—you’re standing in the gap for generations to come.

God is calling His Church to a deeper level of repentance—not just personal, but generational. Through deliverance, healing, and spiritual warfare, we can cleanse the family line, restore righteousness, and build a legacy of freedom.
