GOD'S Deliverance: The Answer!

Earlier this week I mentioned a lady who wanted to "deliver" me from my single-parent iniquity. She quoted verses such as "the sins of the fathers will be visited on the children, and the children's children" and told me I was either under or had begun a generational curse. Pretty discouraging stuff!

And then in my wanderings through the Bible I hit Ezekial 18, with some of the following thoughts given:

"Yet you ask, 'Why does the son not share the guilt of his father?' Since the son has done what is just and right and has been careful to keep all my decrees, he will surely live... if a wicked man turns away from all the sins he has committed...and does what is just and right, he will surely live, he will not die. None of the offences he has committed will be remembered against him."

There! That's the answer to generational sin! Yes, there are consequences you get to live with, but THERE IS HOPE, things can be different! You don't have to fall under the curse of the sin your parents committed! Nor do you have no hope if you have sinned in the past. All that is cast into the deepest of seas when you turn around and ask for forgiveness.

Thank You Lord for your infinite mercy and grace, for peace and assurance, for hope and a future!
