My family has some skeletons in their closets. With respect to them, I won’t go into detail, but there have been curses we have been carrying around for generations. Poverty, abuse, infidelity, addiction - and those are just the big ones.
I have felt for many years the weight of that trauma - some I experienced and some I witnessed. It ran behind me nipping at my heels - always so close. I felt like one small mistake and these demons would catch up to me and swallow me whole.
But I knew I had a different calling. I knew that I had personally made different decisions than the generations behind me.
I am here to tell you that those curses were not in vain. That the hardship that my mother, grandmother, and great grandmother bared was the bedrock from which I was able to build my life on. They spent their life building something strong enough for what God had next for their family. They went through every trial with faith.
None of these women I have mentioned are perfect. They are far from it, but they never lost sight of their belief in Jesus and his plans for them.
If you are feeling those demons chasing you down, I invite you to pray with me.
“I call it into existence that I am the curse breaker. I take back the territory the enemy had on my family and I say no more. Thank you God for taking over the territory that the enemy stole and making it whole. My family and my friends will never have to walk down a broken path again.”
I am in agreement with you friend.
Love,
Britt
