TouchofGod.World - Teaching Your Identity In Christ

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1820278/open_sms] As we progress through this series, we see the progression of this topic in Scripture itself. From recent episodes we have seen that the Lord did not visit the children of the third and fourth generation of fathers that committed sin as long as those children loved the Lord and kept His commandments.  The false teachings in the church about generational curses often do not teach this important clarifying truth!   In this episode, we see the progression of how the Lord decides to handle sin in the Old Testament. We see from studying Ezekiel chapter 18 in today's program the Lord putting a stop to an old proverb being spoken. That proverb illustrating that the children were having to pay for the sins and iniquities of their fathers.   We also read today in Ezekiel chapter 18 that all souls are the Lord's, and it is in fact the soul that commits the sin is the one that dies, not a child or a father of the one that sins. The Lord speaks to Ezekiel and gives examples of a just son not paying for the sins of his unjust father. Likewise, a just father not paying for the sins of his son.   This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC):  Exodus 34:5-7, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Ephesians 2:4-8, Exodus 34:8-10, Numbers 14:1-24, Deuteronomy 5:7-10, Ezekiel 18:1-20.

In Titus we see we are to "avoid stupid and foolish controversies and genealogies and dissensions and wrangling about the Law, for they are unprofitable and futile."   This is further proof that the Christian should never attempt to search their ancestry line in attempt to find the root cause of their problem. Doing so is an act of blindness to the truth, and further pointless entrapment by the devil.   Instead the believer should already understand that their old self died and was buried with Christ, and themselves now a new creation, a new species which never existed before, has been made alive in Christ. No generational curses exist in the newly created believer.   Stay abiding in Christ (John 15); do not bring back your old self from the dead. Be transformed by the renewing of your mind (Romans 12:2) so you now think like Jesus and your new Heavenly Father, instead of like Satan, your former father (John 8:44).   We also learn in Exodus that even in the Old Testament, the Lord NEVER visited the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation of those who LOVED Him and kept His commandments.   This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): 1 Timothy 1:1-4, Titus 3:8-9, John 8:31-36, Exodus 20:3-6.

Or how can I [violently] denounce those the Lord has not denounced?", so says Balaam to Balak as recorded in Numbers 23:8 (AMPC). God has given the believer every spiritual blessing in Heavenly places. You cannot be cursed and blessed at the same time. Therefore the believer in Christ cannot have a generational curse, even if he or she had one before receiving Jesus as Lord. The believer in Christ IS set free from all generational curses and can never be attacked or connected to one in the future. We also discuss the power of our tongues that are able to bring borth blessing and cursing according to James 3:10. This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Numbers 23:8, 2 Corinthians 5:17, John 3:1-5, Ephesians 1:3, Galatians 3:13, Deuteronomy 21:22-23, Galatians 3:14, Ephesians 1:5, James 3:10, 2 Corinthians 10:5-6.

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1820278/open_sms] Proverbs 26 verse 2 shows us that an unjustified curse will not affect its target. The verse gives us the imagery of birds flying by to illustrate that an undeserved curse does not settle on its intended victim. God's justice ensures that curses without merit do not harm the innocent, emphasizing the importance of living righteously and avoiding actions that might invite curses. This concept provides comfort to those facing unjust accusations or curses, reminding them that such curses are ineffective if they remain blameless. If the born again believer in Christ understands and believes in the variety of scripture that shows God’s divine protection for those that seek Him, then nothing shall by any means hurt that person. (see Luke 10:19). Where the believer runs into trouble is when he or she believes that generational curses can still connect to them and affect them. It is like anything in the Bible. It only comes true for the person reading, when that person finds out the truth and then decides to believe in it, taking every thought captive in obedience to Christ, and rejecting any false teachings, including on this topic of generational curses. Any problem for the believer is not a generational curse, but their own actions. God has provided a way of escape from sin through trusting and leaning on His Son Jesus, being cleansed of sin and being set free FROM it after the believer confesses his or her sins. The believer simply needs to – believe – the scriptures that reveal the truth that they are set free by the finished works of Christ, repent (turn from) their sinful ways and actions and walk with Jesus with a heart of purity to the best of their ability. We also consider that the life of the believer is not necessarily a life guaranteed free of committing sin. It is extremely unlikely for a truly born again believer to desire habitual sin, since the heart of the Christian is going through a continual process of sanctification. However that does not mean sin does not occur, albeit hopefully with a sorrowful and repentant heart. How quickly the believer repents is the difference between one with a heart after Jesus, and one who is not trying to keep themselves unstained by the world. For the one with their heart focused on and seeking the Lord, that abiding with Jesus and the fellowship in the secret place ensures the continual divine protection from generational curses, and other evils from the powers of darkness and the enemies therein. (see Psalm 91:1-2 AMPC). This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Romans 3:23, John 3:3-7, Romans 5:1, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Ephesians 1:13-14, Romans 8:9, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Galatians 5:17, Romans 7:14-25, 1 John 1:8-10, Philippians 1:6, 1 John 3:2, Romans 5:19, Philippians 3:9, Romans 8:1, 1 John 1:9, Romans 8:13, Galatians 5:16, Romans 8:30, 1 Corinthians 15:49-53, Romans 8:38-39, Proverbs 26:2, Psalm 91:1-2, 1 Peter 5:7-8, Mark 4:18-19, Numbers 23:1-12.

Most people do not want to declare their sins to God, much less to their family members. So what makes us believe that we would know our ancestor’s sin in order to break the generational curse? In any case it does not matter. The generational curse cannot “jump the tracks” to the believer in Christ, since, ‘ the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come!’ (2 Corinthians 5:17) This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): 2 Corinthians 5:17, 1 Thessalonians 5:17-24; Luke 10:19, Revelations 12:11, Romans 8:1-2, 1 John 1:8, Romans 8:9, Galatians 5:16, 1 Corinthians 10:13, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Romans 12:2, Psalm 119:11, Philippians 4:8, Timothy 2:2, Matthew 5:29-30, Genesis 39:12, Hebrews 10:24-25, James 5:16, Matthew 6:13, 1 John 1:9, Hebrews 12:1-2, Galatians 5:22-23, Philippians 2:3-4, 1 John 2:1-2, Ephesians 4:29, 2 Corinthians 12:9, Philippians 1:6, Romans 8:1, Romans 7:15-25, Romans 8:37, 2 Peter 1:5-8, 1 John 3:2.
