Key Scripture: "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: 'Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.'" - Galatians 3:13
Introduction
A generational curse is a spiritual consequence of the sins of our ancestors being passed down the family line. Jesus Christ was made a curse for us to redeem us from the curse (Galatians 3:13). Spiritual warfare in this area involves recognizing the pattern, renouncing the sin, and decisively appropriating the freedom that Christ has already won for you.
