"I'm from a poor family so I'll always struggle with money too."
How it sounds in your head: My parents fight about bills constantly. We never have enough. Everyone in my family has money problems. It's in my genes. This is just how it's going to be for me too. Poor kids stay poor.
"Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, 'Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree'), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith."
-- Galatians 3:13-14Source: Generational curse teaching and world's system declaring poverty is inherited and permanent.
He sees the pattern in every family gathering - aunts, uncles, grandparents all struggling financially. The evidence surrounds him daily in his home's stress and his parents' worried conversations.
Worked for his cheating father-in-law Laban for fourteen years, started with nothing, was manipulated and underpaid repeatedly. God blessed him so abundantly that he became 'exceedingly prosperous' - the family pattern of manipulation couldn't stop the covenant blessing.
I REFUSE the lie that my family's financial struggles determine my future. IT IS WRITTEN that Christ redeemed me from the curse so Abraham's blessing comes on ME. I am not bound by generational patterns - I'm in a NEW bloodline, the bloodline of Jesus. IT IS WRITTEN that I am a new creation, old things passed away, all things became new. The BARAK blessing on my life breaks every family cycle. I will lend to many and borrow from none. I am the head and not the tail. My family's past doesn't write my future.
Your Father isn't limited by your family tree or your parents' bank account. He's grafting you into a NEW family line - Abraham's blessing line - where provision flows from covenant, not from inheritance.
