Isaac said, Your brother came with crafty cunning and treacherous deceit and has taken your blessing. Genesis 27:35
August 5, 2024 at 6:16 pmin Genesis 27, Jacob deceived his father into giving him the family blessing rather than his brother, Esau. Jacob was dishonest and a deceiver, and his mother, Rebekah, was also a deceiver. It didn’t stop there. Jacob’s uncle, Laban, was dishonest in his business dealings and tricked Jacob into marrying his daughter Leah.
August 5, 2024 at 6:17 pmNotice how that same spirit of deceit, manipulation, and dishonesty traveled through the family line. That was not a coincidence. That was a spirit that kept getting passed down in that family.
August 5, 2024 at 6:18 pmIt’s good to ask yourself, “Why do I struggle in this area? Why am I drawn to compromise, to addictions, to manipulation?” Be aware of the source. Some of the problems you deal with were passed down to you, but they can stop with you.
August 5, 2024 at 6:19 pmIt may not be easy, but if you take a step of faith to put it to an end, God will give you grace to do it. That may mean letting go of bitterness, getting help with an addiction, or refusing to accept mediocrity as your destiny, but you can break the negative cycle.
August 5, 2024 at 6:20 pmFather, thank You that when Christ conquered death on the cross He broke the power of every negative thing that’s trying to hold me back. Thank You that any stronghold of the enemy within our family line is being destroyed. I believe that I have been set free
