Breaking Generational Curses

“But if they confess their iniquity and THE INIQUITY OF THEIR FATHERS, with their unfaithfulness in which they were unfaithful to Me, and that they also have walked contrary to Me … then I will remember My covenant with Jacob, and My covenant with Isaac and My covenant with Abraham I will remember …” (Leviticus 26:40, 42)

Many people are exposed to living with the bondage of sins given to them by their forefathers. This can continue on for generations until repentance is sought. Here is a look at some great prayers for breaking generational curses that will help to put you on a path to heal any generational transgressions.

1. Redeemed from the Curse Prayer

Every curse spoken, written, or transferred to me is broken by the blood of Jesus. Poverty, sickness, and family idols are not my portion. I choose to walk in the freedom that Christ bought for me in the name of Jesus, Amen.
2. Confession Prayer
   Lord God, I come humbly before you today to confess the sins that my forefathers and I have committed against you.

Holy Spirit, purge every curse that has passed on in our family from generation to generation, in Jesus name I pray, Amen.
