Healing the Family Tree

The Family Tree is recognized mostly as a genealogy report of ancestors in a family blood line.
It shows who is is related to whom way back as many generations as one can document.
It is quite difficult to obtain proof of blood relationship with certainty all suspected or reported relations. 
DNA and other lab tests now help prove what the paper trail might not reveal.

What we are looking at is related.  Rather than a blood history based solely on marriages and births, numerous authors are advocating our looking at the spiritual history of those same people.  The recommendation is for each person to create his own family tree (or tree of origin) and list in code the sins and diseases of each relative plus our own sins and diseases (which are believed to be inherited or passed down).  Each human is 3 parts - body, mind/soul, AND spirit!  God is a Spirit.  Satan is a spirit.  Man has a spirit.  Doctors try to help the body.  Psychiatrists try to help the mind.  Pastors try to help the spirit.

What do we do with this list?  There are many suggestions.  There can be individual or group prayers for deliverance.  The list can be taken to church and lifted up to God during communion or when we say the Lord's prayer.  This is the time when we ask God's forgiveness of us, after having first forgiven each person on the list.  If the person is deceased, we offer that person up to God.  We confess his sins.  We cover his sins with the blood of Christ.  We break the curse from that person's sins.  We break the consequences of that person's sins down through the generations.

We do NOT pray to that person.  This is forbidden in scripture.  (The Catholic church teaches that this prayer can release souls from purgatory into heaven and away from earth where they may bother us.  This Catholic teaching has NO scriptural basis!)  These Eucharist prayers DO release many of the living on earth from being tormented by the same things that tormented their ancestors. 

Many Protestants advocate the same prayers with the same results, but on a different theological basis.  They believe that evil spirits are the root cause of the curses, diseases, and maladies.

The key is to know that we can be delivered from our troubles.  We, through the blood of Jesus Christ, can be set free from sins originating from relatives or ourselves.  Through the body of Jesus Christ we can be set free from physical and mental maladies, inherited or not.

Many books discuss family curses that are passed on from generation to generation in the form of medical diseases or personality disorders.  Scripture attributes many of these to familiar or familial evil spirits.  Many of the following sources touch on this issue. 

Jesus is called the Tree of Life.  When we ask Jesus to forgive our sins and be our savior, we are grafted into God's family tree. 
At communion, when we, as spiritual relatives of God, drink the blood of Christ, we do a transfusion, taking out the bad blood and putting in the good blood, using Jesus' antibodies to kill off the enemy in our family bloodline.  We appropriate what Jesus did for us on the cross 2,000 years ago. 
Samuel Kanco
, former African witch doctor, asks Jesus to boil the blood whenever Aids is an issue.  See book review below.

William Branham in The Revelation of the 7 Seals, chapter on the 4th seal, shares how a child was healed of leukemia when the pastor confronted the parents with a secret that they shared.  Scripture says to be aware that your sins will find you out.

Christians recognize that "sin" began with Adam and ended with Jesus, our confessor/savior/forgiver.
What many fail to recognize is that "disease/defects/infirmity" began with Adam and ended with Jesus, our doctor/surgeon.  Actually for Christians, the real culprit is NOT man but the devil, the author of all harm.  However, regarding inheritance, Adam brought sin AND disease into the blood line, and is the father of all sin AND disease in the same way that Abraham is the father of all those who receive salvation or health by believing in God, His Son, and the Holy Spirit.  Being saved/healed/rescued by God is an act of our tenacious faith in Him in spite of all medical or intelligent evidence to the contrary.  God and Satan are invisible spirits competing for the same body.  Only one will win.  Let us choose the most powerful One, Dr Jesus.

Once we understand and believe that Jesus Christ did it ALL on the cross, it is like a baby who for the first time recognizes his parent and speaks dada or mama!  When God becomes our dada/papa, he is our parent, protector, and guardian of body, mind AND spirit.  Because of what Jesus Christ did for us (if we accept what he did for us), we are adopted into God's family and are legal heirs of Dad's assets.  We can lay claim to ALL God's blessings and according to scripture, they can belong to us for a 1,000 generations!  We are thus NOW spiritual descendants of Abraham, because of our faith in his God and in God's son Jesus.  It is the blood of Jesus that unites us all as siblings in God's family.

                                             PRAYER for REMOVING GENERATIONAL CURSES            
                                                   9/2005 www.geocities.com/pilgrimsfaith
Lord Jesus Christ, I believe that You are the Son of God, the only way to God, and that You died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead.
I give up all my rebellion and all my sin.  I submit myself to You as my Lord.
I confess all my sins before You and ask for Your forgiveness, especially for any sins that exposed me to a curse. 
Release me also from the consequences of my ancestors' sins.
By a decision of my will, I forgive all who have harmed me or wronged me, just as I want God to forgive me. 
In particular, I forgive _______________, ___________________, __________________.
I renounce all contact with anything occult or satanic. 
If I have any "contact objects", I commit myself to destroy them.  I cancel all Satan's claims against me.
Lord Jesus, I believe that on the cross You  took on Yourself every curse that could ever come upon me. 
I ask You now to release me from every curse over my line, in Your name, Lord Jesus Christ.
By faith I now receive my release and I thank Your for it.
I thank You today, tomorrow, and every day - for the rest of my life.  (In Jesus name, I pray.  Amen.)

Scripture
Old Testament

Genesis 3:22-23 TNJB 22.Then Yahweh God said, "Now that the man has become like one of Us in knowing good from evil, he must not be allowed  to reach out his hand and pick from the 23.Tree of Life too, and eat and live forever!"  So Yahweh God expelled him from the garden of Eden, to till the soil from which he had been taken.  He banished the man...to guard the way to (Messiah) the tree of (eternal) life.
(TNJB footnote:  The greatest punishment is the loss of intimacy with God.v.23.  These penalties are hereditary http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancestral_sin   The doctrine of hereditary guilt http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_sin is not clearly stated until Paul draws his comparison between the solidarity of all in the Savior Christ and the solidarity of all in sinful Adam.  Romans 5.)

Exodus 20:1    and God spoke all these words, saying
Exodus 20:5    I , the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the 3rd and 4th generation of those who hate me,
Exodus 20:6   
but showing love to a 1,000 generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments. 
Exodus 34:5-8    The Lord came down in the cloud and stood there with him and proclaimed His name, the Lord.  And He passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, "(I AM) The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to 1000's and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin.  Yet He does (yet I do) not leave the guilty unpunished; He  punishes (I do punish) the children and their children for the sin of the fathers to the 3rd and 4th generation."  Moses bowed to the ground at once and worshiped.     (Spiritual insight = generational curses or inherited diseases) (Spiritual law requires a sin offering, which Jesus Christ provided for all who elect to avail themselves of.)
Exodus 34:9 TNAB    Then he said, If I find favor with You, O Lord, do come along in our company.  This is indeed a stiff-necked people; yet pardon our wickedness and sins; receive us as Your own.

Leviticus 26:40 NKJV    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
Leviticus 26:41 NKJV    If their uncircumcised hearts are humbled, and they accept their guilt, then I will remember My covenant with Jacob, My covenant with Isaac, and My covenant with Abraham.

Numbers 12:1-2 KJVer    Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married...and the Lord heard it.  (Spiritual insight = It is dangerous to judge God's elect &/or in-laws.)
Numbers 12:9-10 KJVer    The anger of the Lord was kindled against them.  He departed.  The cloud departed from off the tabernacle.  Behold Miriam became leprous, white as snow. (Spiritual insight = Judgmentalism/critical spirit/rejection/pride/arrogance/self-importance/sin could be the root causes of leprosy.)

Deuteronomy 5:9    I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the 3rd and 4th generation of them that hate Me. (See also Exodus 20:5)
Deuteronomy 7:12-15    If you pay attention to these (spiritual) laws and are careful to follow them, then the Lord your God will...love you and bless you, bless the fruit of your womb, the crops of your land...will keep you free from every disease.

Deuteronomy  23:5    ...The Lord your God would not listen to Balaam but turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the Lord your God loves you.
Deuteronomy 28:18      The fruit of your womb (children or offspring) will be cursed.
Deuteronomy
28:20      The Lord will send on you curses, confusion and rebuke in everything you put your hand to, until you are destroyed and come to sudden ruin because of the evil you (or your family) have done in forsaking Him.
Deuteronomy 28:22         He will send tuberculosis, fever, infections, plague.
Deuteronomy 28:27-28    He will send upon you Egyptian boils, tumors, scurvy, and itch, for none of which will there be a remedy.  He will send madness, blindness, fear, and panic upon you.
Deuteronomy 28:58 (KJV)    If  thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written this book, that thou may fear this glorious and fearful name, the Lord thy God; then the Lord will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.  Moreover He will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt. (This scripture shows that diseases can be inherited due to family sin.)
(Personal & family sin needs to be confessed to God, so God will forgive and eradicate the family diseases.)

Deuteronomy 30:19     I (God) have set before you life & death, blessings & curses.  Now choose life, so that you & your children may live and that you may love the Lord your God.
(Spiritual insight = Our choices; our sins affect our children.)
Deuteronomy 32:39    Don't you see that I alone am God?  I kill and make live.  I wound and heal
Deuteronomy 33:27    The eternal God is your refuge and underneath are the everlasting  arms. 
He shall thrust out the enemy from before you.

Nehemia 1:4 NIV     4When I heard these things, I sat down and wept.  For some days I mourned, fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven.  
Nehemia 1:5-6 NKJV
    5"I said, 'I pray, Lord God of heaven, O great and awesome God, You who keep Your covenant and mercy with those who love You and observe Your commandments, 6please let Your ear be attentive and Your eyes open, that You may hear the prayer of Your servant which I pray before You now, day and night, for the children of Israel Your servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel which we have sinned against You.  Both my father's house and I have sinned.  7We have acted very corruptly against You, and have not kept the commandments, the statutes, nor the ordinances which You commanded Your servant Moses.'"

Job 1:4-5 NIV    His sons used to take turns holding feasts in their homes.  They would invite their 3 sisters to eat and drink with them.  When a period of feasting had run its course, Job would send and have them purified.  Early in the morning he would sacrifice a burnt offering for each of them, thinking, "Perhaps my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts."  This was Job's regular custom.

Psalm 47:4a NIV    He (God) chose our inheritance for us.  (Spiritual insight = Therefore, we reject Satan's lies that tell us we will inherit the diseases of our ancestors.)

Isaiah 58:12 KJV    You shall raise up the foundation of many generations.  You shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of paths to dwell in. 

Jeremiah 14:19-21 NIV    Why have You afflicted us so that we cannot be healed?  We hoped for peace but no good has come, for a time of healing, but there is only terror.  O Lord, we acknowledge our wickedness AND the guilt of our fathers.  We have indeed sinned against You.  For the sake of Your name, do not despise us."
Jeremiah 31:29-31 KJVer    Says the Lord, "In those (forthcoming) days they shall say no more, 'The fathers have eaten a sour grape and the children's teeth are set on edge.'  Every one shall die for his own iniquity."  (Spiritual insight = Passage refers to the time when Jesus the Messiah will provide the means for salvation. As Adam was the one time means for sin to enter mankind, Jesus will be the one time means for the permanent erasing of sin.  Also note that salvation in the Greek is translated salvation/healing/deliverance of spirit, body, and/or soul/mind/thinking.
See below Ezekiel 18:2-24 KJVer)

Lamentations 5:7 KJV  Our fathers (ancestors) have sinned and are not.  We have borne (inherited the consequences of) their iniquities.

Ezekiel 18:2-24 KJVer    2"You use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, 'The fathers have eaten sour grapes and the children's teeth are set on edge.'  3As I live, says the Lord God, You shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel.  4Behold, all souls are Mine.  As the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is Mine.  That soul that sins, it shall die...19Yet you say, 'Why? Does not the son bear the iniquity of the father?'  When the son has done that which is lawful and right and has kept all My statues and has done them; he shall surely live.  20The soul that sins, it shall die.  The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father.  Neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son...21If the wicked will turn from all his sins that he has committed and keep all My statues and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die.  22All his transgression that he has committed, they shall not be mentioned to him;  in his righteousness that he has done he shall live...24When the righteous turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live?  All his righteousness that he has done shall not be mentioned.  In his trespass that he has trespassed and in in his sin that he has sinned, in them shall he die." (Spiritual insight = Here the life and death consequences of sin refer to eternal life and judgment after one dies...Sin is the root cause of a door being open/unlocked to the devil.  Once the demon is inside, he needs to be bound and evicted.  Then the door needs to be closed and locked.  The beginning to this process is repentance.  Demons will stay at least 3 generations unless kicked out.  The locals understood that all curses are the result of sin and can be passed down to the descendants.  Curses and eternal life are 2 separate sin issues, which are further clarified in the New Testament by the life and words of Jesus.)

New Testament

Matthew 23:35-36 TPNT    35"Upon you would come all the righteous blood (of the martyrs) being shed upon the earth, from the blood of the righteous Abel, until the blood of Zechariah, son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar.  36Truly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation."

Galatians 3:13    Christ has redeemed (paid the bail for) us from the curse (consequences) of (breaking) the law, being made a curse (trade/substitute) for us: for it is written, cursed (evil/despised/diseased) is every one who hangs on a tree. 

Ephesians 4:27 NIV   Do Not give the devil a foothold.

Chapter 2 Breaking the Curse gives us a prayer, In the name of Jesus, "Satan, get out of my life!  You are not corrupting my bloodline any more.  I reverse that curse against me.  And now I speak the blessing of the Lord over my life.  Jesus wash me in Your precious blood and forgive me of all my sin."  When standing in the gap for a family member, substitute his/her name for "my/me".

Dickerman, Don                             When Pigs Move In                              www.dondickerman.net     endorsed by Frank Hammond
Chapter 2 I Met Christians Who Were Demonized  "Have you confessed the curse-breaking power of Jesus Christ's name over generational sin?  Has anyone commanded the spirits to leave?  Have you not only repented of unforgiveness?...Have you commanded spirits that may have come by that doorway to leave?...Evil spirits do not leave until they are commanded to leave.  Repentance cancels their permission to be there, but they leave when they are commanded to leave."
Chapter 4 How Do Demons Access Believers?  "In Exodus 20:5.  It is God-given consent for evil spirits to be passed to a child because of the sins of the forefathers...Fair is NOT a word in the demon dictionary...and every father and mother bears responsibility for breaking this curse in the family."
Chapter 10 The Power of the Tongue   Pray out loud, In Jesus name, "I forgive.  I repent of unforgiveness; I know it is sin.  I put it under the blood of Jesus... All the works of the flesh.  I put it under the blood of Jesus, and by doing so I break Satan's power and legal rights to my life.  I break the power of generational curses and deny permission of any demon spirit to my life.  I repent of and denounce any contract I made with Satan; since he is a liar, no contract is binding.  By the blood of Jesus I free myself from any pact with the devil.  I renounce all unholy oaths, vows, pledges, and ceremonies.  I denounce and confess as sin all unholy soul ties, for Jesus is my Savior and Lord.  He is my deliverer and my healer, and He broke the power of curse!  I choose to be free...Amen"
Chapter 12 More Personal Accounts section Night Terrors Turn into Daytime Terror for a 4 Year Old  "Parents (having guardianship) must first go through the deliverance process in order to break any legal permissions that demons might have to the child's life through a generational (inherited) curse."
Section These Hurts from the Past Seemed to Be Surfacing  "There were personality traits in both my mom and my dad that I saw in myself and that I now know were demons in my life by permission of a generational curse."  We remove that permission, especially by repenting for our personal and family sins.
Chapter 17 What Exactly Is Scriptural Deliverance?  "Demons must have legal rights to one's life...A generational curse...does not involve our will, but it does grant permission to evil spirits through the sins of the fathers and mothers for 3-4 generations...according to Exodus 20:5."
"Demons, evil spirits, unclean spirits, devils, spirits of infirmity, principalities, powers, and the like must have permission...Jesus had to have permission to be in your life.  God requires our permission...Consent can be as simple as being in the presence of (something, such as) a Ouija board, a childhood abuse or trauma, periods of anger or unforgiveness....Ask the Holy Spirit to bring to their remembrance anything that may have given access to the demon powers.  Once consent is granted, the demon takes up residence in the soul or flesh and begins to build a 'kingdom'...Oppression begins because the demon has been granted permission to be there...Unforgiveness is God-given permission for demons to torment. (See Matthew 18:23-35)...Deliverance cannot take place against someone's will...Often it requires a desire to be free...but every one of them will bow at the name of Jesus Christ, so you need NOT fear...Permission to be there must be cancelled, or the demons will not leave.  Perhaps they will leave when commanded, but if doorways are not closed, then other demons can enter."  RELAPSE PREVENTION - How to Keep Your Healing
Chapter 22 Keeping Gates Closed  Demonic "permission is granted by disobedience to the Lord.  Consent is given by making wrong choices and believing the demons' lie...rather than believing the  truth of God's Word."

That we are destined to inherit the diseases of our ancestors is a lie of Satan, unless we concur with Satan rather than claiming Psalm 47:4a that says God chose our inheritance.  1st however we need to repent of any sin in our lives, plus evict any evil spirits we inadvertently let in as children.  We can ask the Holy Spirit to reveal these.  Due to fear, Hammond allowed the demon of nervousness, which his mother had, into his life.  He felt something crawling all through his body.  He received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. God revealed to him that the cause of his malady was demons and that he had bought into their lies.

Generational curses can be routed with the assistance of the "gift of knowledge".  This gift is one of the 9 gifts from God after receiving the "baptism of the Holy Spirit".  In chapter 2 Generational Curses, 2 deliverances (due to the gift of knowledge) are shared, one of a mentally ill woman and one of a boy with no hearing.  (God revealed which ancestor was the cause of the curse.)

Hammond, Frank & Ida Mae          A Manual for Children's Deliverance  www.thechildrensbread.net
Chapter 6 Demons Common to Children cite chromosomes and blood as channels utilized by inherited diseases.  Parents can can bind and command out all spirits that have entered through these avenues.  Obviously, the best time to do this is at conception!
Chapter 7 Special Cases shows some spiritual roots (needing a spiritual solution) for (a) criminal schizophrenia, (b) multiple personality disorder (MPD), (c) attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD), (d) foster or adopted children, (e) autism, (f) sexual abuse, and (g) down's syndrome. 
One can also check out alternative_help_for_psychiatric_and_brain_problems.htm
Regarding adopted or foster children (or children of a divorce), once you as a parent are born again, you have spiritual headship and authority.  Say to the enemy, "My child is under the covering of the blood of Jesus.  In the name of Jesus, I take back every advantage that Satan has seized by way of the sins of the forefathers.  In in name of Jesus, I bind and cast out every spirit of inherited curse."
Testimony is given of a 14 year old autistic boy who never used personal pronouns until he was prayed over. 
Another testimony is given of a 6 year old who was healed of criminal schizophrenia (revealed to Ida Mae by God through the gift of knowledge.  The evil spirit/psychiatric disease had an open door from the wound of divorce.)
Testimony is given where 2  (mentally retarded) mongoloids' (a 4 year old + a teenager) functioning immediately improved after prayer.  Satan takes advantage of disabilities, which need miracle cures.
Chapter 2 When the Womb is Unsafe discusses many emergency prenatal issues -
The devil has a legal right to inflict a family curse to at least the 4th generation.  At conception, the parent can reverse/terminate/cancel such harm by repenting of any family sin, in the name of Jesus disallow any curse, bind each demon of curse (strongman with underlings), plus expel it's demon group.  Pray against any family secret, sins, inherited diseases.  Regarding conception, it is imperative to speak aloud acceptance and love to the fetus and NOT rejection.  Verbal rejection can cause the fetus to abort.
Hammond, Frank and Ida Mae         Familiar Spirits                              www.thechildrensbread.net
Family spirits are inherited, due to the sins and subsequent curses of our ancestors/relatives.
Hammond, Frank and Ida Mae         Soul Ties                                      www.thechildrensbread.net Inappropriate relationships not ordained by God create sin and subsequently an open door to an evil spirit.  [The typical mother-in-law "control", often is enabled by a husband, so as not to rock a parent's boat.  A co-dependency is created, in violation of scripture, which calls for cutting of the apron strings upon marriage.  An evil spirit of control, co-dependency, victimization, etc have the keys (legal right) to live in us when there are unhealthy soul ties.]  For beginners, EACH sexual relationship outside of marriage is a sinful soul tie, which needs to be repented of.  Each curse from each relationship needs to be broken.  Each evil spirit (or group of demons) in each Each inappropriate sexual relationship needs to be bound and placed under the feet of Jesus, in the name and power of Jesus Christ. 
Hammond, Frank and Ida Mae         The Tales of 2 Franks                  www.thechildrensbread.net
This booklet notes that inherited spirits can affect the way we think and feel.  The story shared is one of woman having a Cherokee Indian spirit that wanted to kill palefaces.  The paleface in this instance was her mate.  Once identified, it could be bound and cast out in the name of Jesus.  This is a wake up call for those with ancestors having recently been involved in ethnic cleansing, and like issues!
Hammond, Frank and Ida Mae         Kingdom Living for the Family    www.thechildrensbread.net
Each family member should go through deliverance, beginning with the parents.  Next, the family should begin to learn how to minister deliverance to one another.
The Hammonds make it a routine practice to break all inherited curses from all to whom they minister.  The person repeats a prayer including these ideas, "Jesus, You are my savior.  I now confess all my sins, especially the sin(s) ______________________________.   I now repent for all the unconfessed sins of my ancestors.  Each curse that would come upon me or my descendents because of my ancestors' sins is now broken, because You became a curse on the cross for us who repent.  In the name of Jesus Christ I now command every evil spirit which has gained power in my life through ancestral sins to leave me right now.  In the name of Jesus, I break all curses off my family.  Thank You wonderful savior.  Amen."

Hampsch, Father John        Riding High       autobiography       www.claretiantapeministry.org
"The Lord gave to me what St. Thomas Aquinas says comes to everyone who is authentically baptized  in the Spirit.  He taught that they will receive not only some of the 25 charismatic gifts, but they also receive sanctificatory gifts mentioned in Isaiah 11:2, especially the gift of understanding.  This is the gift whereby God's Scripture revelations become clearer, in a personalized way (the 'rhema').  I've never read the Bible the same way since...
My preaching changed; my ministry changed.  For instance, God sometimes gave me a word of wisdom while hearing confessions, so that I could tell if a person was deliberately concealing a sin...
The size of our container is mainly up to each of us individually, our response to God's grace."
[In his literature and lectures Father Hampsch inspires one to fill out his/her family tree graph, not only with medical diseases, but also with sins (which are often the root causes of many diseases) and with curses (which are often the consequences of sin such as explained in the book of Deuteronomy).  After completing the chart, it is recommended that the entire family participate in a family mass (each member having first gone to confession for his/her personal AND family sins, just as Job did in the Old Testament).]

Chapter 11 Sins of the Father  believes that sin is a consequence/symptom of unfaithfulness to God.  Rather than repent for each sin to which our forefathers/parents are responsible individually to God, we are to repent of their heat attitude of unfaithfulness to God. According to Hinson, "You cannot repent on their behalf anymore than you can ask Jesus to enter their hearts and then claim salvation for them." 
Hinson also believes that we cannot stand in the gap for another regarding curses, that only the one affected (who is under the curse) can repent for his forefather's unfaithfulness to God and then reverse/break off himself such a generational curse. [We respectfully disagree with this, especially if parents are standing in the gap, if person is psychotic or unable to think in a normal manner (senile/drugged/retarded/etc.), and if individual is working with others to prevent relapse.]
Finally, Hinson admonishes to covenant with God on behalf of himself, his family, and his descendants to love, honor and obey.  Repenting for family unfaithfulness to God and committing one's family to God, is an honest attempt to sever all generational curses and begin generational blessings.
Book concludes with excellent family/individual prayers.

Northrup, Christiane, GYN    Mother Daughter Wisdom       
Dr Northrup believes that we can add 7 years to our lives by what we BELIEVE and that we can pass on that improved heritage in our DNA.  She believes that bad attitudes and negative emotions are inherited, but that we can reverse that, once we become aware of the dynamics.  She believes that what we do with what we inherit, determines our future and the future of our descendents.  If a parent is mentally ill or angry, we can choose to respond in a manner that will improve our daily lives, plus our longevity.

Chapter 4 The Operation and Manifestation of Iniquity Iniquity Produces Spiritual Deafness -
Iniquity and Grievance - "People, who have been rejected, appear to attract more and more rejection.  Partly because they are trapped in nets of iniquity and because of a spiritual law in operation.  This law will continue until iniquity is removed from their lineage...People who have been abused in some way, either incestuously or psychological, become victims of injustice.  As if they wear a bull's eye on their back.  In the case of incest (sexual relations with a family member), iniquity is so strong that it attracts many kinds of curses, such as those described in Deuteronomy 28.  The abused person must forgive and ask for forgiveness for the sins of his ancestors.  Many similar cases exist in the family lineages, which were the very root cause that influenced the father or family member to commit this aberration...Repent before God.  This is the first step, but this will not remove the seed in iniquity you have sown against yourself.  Ask forgiveness from those you have harmed.  You must do something good for them to attempt to undo the evil that you have caused."

Prince, Derek         They Shall Expel Demons     autobiography and textbook      www.derekprince.com
Autobiography on family depression plus notes that in addition to personal sin and family curses, demons may enter via trauma.  Chapter 14 What Is The Occult shares a testimony of how and when in childhood demons entered causing later hallucinations and desires of masturbation and homosexuality.  We learn that we need not only to bind, cast out and resist demons, but also to individually repent for and renounce by name each specific sin.  If the Lord reveals where and when the demon entered, we are to repent and renounce that incident or sin and command the demon to leave, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
Prince, Derek            Blessing or Curse: You Can Choose!                              www.derekprince.com

Roberson, Dave                  The Walk of the Spirit - The Walk of Power     www.daveroberson.org
The Appendix notes that demonic strongholds of the soul may block speaking in tongues, in addition to allowing these same strongholds to be passed on to the next generation, if not renounced and repented of. We need to repent of and renounce all sins committed by ourselves AND our blood relatives. Then, in the name of Jesus we need to command every evil spirit who entered us to leave.  In the name of Jesus we need to close the door to any departed evil spirit.  We ask the Holy Spirit to fill that vacant place.  Finally, we thank and praise Him for doing all that we have requested.  The foundation for any spiritual work is our accepting Jesus as savior.  If we have not done this, then any spiritual warfare will not stick.  The problem will return.  Additionally we have even more protection, if we have asked Jesus to baptize us in His holy Spirit.  We need to do this immediately after we receive Jesus as our savior.  Give yourself permission to speak for 15 minutes in tongues (a heavenly language unrecognized by your mind) as it tumbles into your mind from your heart/spirit.

Vagalas, Bishop         The Witch Doctor and the Man         http://patholliday.com/order%20form.htm
Autobiography of Samuel Kanco, former African witch doctor.  It will AMAZE you. 
Samuel told Sid Roth that what ever bad thing happens to you, it happens in the spirit world first.  www.sidroth.org/radio  He also told Sid that witch doctors travel in their spirit, not in their body, to do harm.  Both Samuel and Reinhard Bonnke contend that healing is an "office" appointed by God. Samuel seldom does anything without first getting the green light from God, for that was his habit when working for our spiritual enemy.  Being raised from the dead is a common occurrence in Samuel's ministry. Be warned, the positions we take in meditation and exercise such as yoga invite demons in without a word, like sign language.  Ankle bracelets and tattoos are invitations to evil spirits, as long as we wear them.  It is true that we are taken captive by the devil from lack of knowledge.  Scripture confirms this.  However, whomever Jesus sets free, is free indeed.
Regarding the blood of Jesus, Samuel tells the fire of the Holy Spirit to boil the blood of the person with any disease in the blood, such as HIV - AIDS.  This is a spiritual phenomena not a physical one and usually results in a cure.

Iniquities--Sins of Your Ancestors

Bell, Stephen    http://www.deliveranceforthebodyofchrist.org/MINISTRY/repentingforiniquities.html
"When one in authority, such as a father (grandfather/ancestor), willfully sins, he gives demons access into his domain of authority such as his family tree. Without confession and repentance, the enemy (has an open door to come) in like a flood and permeate the ensuing generations.
Problems, infirmities, negative traits and chronic problems (can subsequently be inherited) passed (down) through" the family genealogy/blood-line.  Resolution often comes when one confesses "the sins of his unprincipled forefathers as though they were his own," asks "the Heavenly Father to remit them (cover over/hide/forgive the sins) and remove the curses (Biblical/spiritual consequences) that came with them.  Soon" one is likely to see "oppression lifted and new-found freedom...no more trouble in this area," based on the spiritual principle that one has already or will IMMEDIATELY (1) REPENT of all his own personal sins, (2) ASK Jesus to be his/her Lord, (3) and baptizer in the Holy Spirit (4) (Who will occupy every space vacated by any curse/evil/demon in the family tree), (5) believe and (6) give thanks to God (regardless of feelings), (7) daily read the Bible and pray, (8) attend a weekly Christian group/church/fellowship, + (9) destroy all offensive/occult possessions.

"The Holy Spirit showed us that it started 57 generations back, and was repeated in generations 46, 39, 30, 12, and 6. Further, it began in England and France. A priest had raped a woman, and a child had been born, identified as a bastard, and rejected by the father. A man-hating and woman-hating spirit was present, which explains why the woman felt blocked every time she tried to worship. The key of worship had been given away.
"
Cox, Paul L   Generational Deliverance - An Important Key to Healing    http://lit4ever.org/revivalforum/index.php?topic=576.0   
"1. The scripture indicates that some curses go down to10 generations.
Deuteronomy 23:2 - One of illegitimate birth shall not enter the assembly of the Lord, even to the 10th generation none of his descendants shall enter the assembly of the Lord.
(NIV Study Bible gives this note: Perhaps forever, since 10 is symbolic of completeness or finality)
2. Some curses seem to last forever.
Proverbs 17:13 - 'If a man pays back evil for good, evil will never leave his house.'
1 Samuel 2:31 - [Word given to Eli] 'The time is coming when I will cut short your strength and the strength of your father's house, so that there will not be an old man in your family line.'
Jeremiah 23:40 - 'I will bring upon you everlasting disgrace - everlasting shame that will not be forgotten.'
2 Samuel 12:10 - [Word given to David] 'Now, therefore, the sword will never depart from your house,
because you despised me and took the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your own.'
3. A curse can go down more than 4 generations.
If a sin is committed 100 generations back, it is empowered up to 4 generations. If that sin is repeated the next generation, it can go down another 4 generations (therefore now going down 5 generations). If the sin is empowered in the next generation, then it can go down another 4 generations - therefore, 6 generations from the original sin.
(Note: The Exodus text does not say that sins can ONLY go down 4 generations.)
So what do you do if you feel you have generational issues that need to be broken?
Ask the Lord to reveal any generational curse or sin issue.
Ask the Lord how many generations back in the family line this generational curse was first empowered.
Ask the Lord what happened to empower that event.
Renounce, repent, and ask forgiveness for any sin committed in the family line. This is called identification repentance.
Ask the Lord Jesus to cover the family line and the memory or incident with His blood.
Renounce and repent for sin related to that event.
Ask the Lord to break all ungodly connections from that event in the generational line to the present.
Demand (in the name of  Jesus that) all evil leave and go wherever Jesus commands them.
End the session with prayer for the cleansing and protection of the Holy Spirit."

Hampsch, Father John H    Prayer for Healing Your Family Tree    www.claretiantapeministry.org 
"Heavenly Father, I come before you as Your child, in great need of Your Help. 
I have physical health needs (                   ), emotional needs (                  ), spiritual needs (                   ), and interpersonal needs (                 ). 
Many of my problems have been caused by my own failures, neglect and sinfulness, or which I humbly beg Your forgiveness. Lord. 
But I also ask You to forgive the sins of my ancestors, whose failures have left their effects on me in the form of unwanted tendencies, behavior patterns, and defects in body, mind and spirit.  Heal me, Lord of all these disorders.  
With Your help, I sincerely forgive everyone, especially living or dead members of my (our) family tree, who have directly offended me (us) or my (our) loved ones in any way, or those whose sins have resulted in our present (problems/curses:) sufferings and disorders.  In the name of Your divine Son, Jesus, and in the power of His Holy Spirit, I ask You, Father, to deliver me and my entire family tree from the influence of the evil one.  (Back to the time of Adam and Eve, cleanse our family bloodlines with Your holy blood. Cleanse my family bloodline, on both sides.)  Free all...members of my family tree, including those in adoptive relationships, and those in extended family relationships, from every contaminating form of bondage.  By Your loving concern for us, heavenly Father, and by the shed blood of Your precious Son, Jesus, I beg You to extend Your (forgiveness and) blessing to me and to all my living and deceased relatives (ancestors). Heal every (root cause and) negative effect transmitted through all past generations, and prevent such negative effects in future generations of my family tree.
I symbolically place the cross of Jesus over the head of each person in my family tree and between each generation; I ask You to let the cleansing blood of Jesus purify the bloodlines in my family lineage.  Set Your protective angels to encamp around us, and permit Archangel Raphael (the patron of healing) to administer Your divine healing power to all of us, even in areas of genetic disability.  Give special power to our family members' guardian angels to heal, protect, guide, and encourage each of us in all our needs.  Let Your healing power be released at this very moment (                     ) and let it continue as long as Your sovereignty permits.
In our family tree, Lord, replace all bondage with a holy bonding in family love.  And let there be an ever-deeper bonding with You, Lord, the the Holy Spirit, to Your Son, Jesus.  Let the...Holy Trinity pervade our family with its tender, warm, loving presence, so that our family may recognize and manifest that love in all our relationships.  All of our unknown needs we include with this petition that we pray, in Jesus' precious Name.  Amen."

Danger

Do NOT blithely hand out your family tree/lineage to any family member or stranger who asks.  Wait on the Lord until you have confidence that especially new relatives or distant relatives are not into the occult.  Once the person initiating the request gets his/hands on the genealogy, then a curse can be placed on the family line/lineage causing NAMED individuals to separate, divorce, get sick, die, fail at business, etc.  If you notice new and unexpected happenings and trends, then be on guard.  In the name of Jesus, cancel any attempted or actual curse against your lineage.  Reverse all curses/spoken harm.  In the name of Jesus, speak double/triple/100-fold blessings upon your lineage.  Thank and praise Jesus for His supremacy.

It seems that there are both spiritual principles and human principles that work for harm or for good, depending on both the user and the spirit one works with.
Regardless of whether or not one recognizes the spirit or the principle (or not), both are in operation and will affect the end result.  There IS an evil spirit AND a Holy Spirit, whether or not we have personally met either, whether or not we have a personal relationship with either.

Many alternative modalities/therapies/healings are based on natural laws, not revealed to the general public, but known by holy men, some belonging to Satan and some to God.  Additionally, the evil spirit and the Holy Spirit heal.  The Holy Spirit's healing/work/miracles is always superior, as shown to Moses and Aaron in the Old Testament.  Scripture says harm will befall anyone who (knowingly or unknowingly) dabbles in the occult/magic/sorcery/witchcraft.  Nowadays, much redemptive/therapeutic knowledge is greatly enlightening and helpful.  However, there always comes a fork in the road when we need to decide/choose who our spiritual guide will be.  Choosing any higher power (other than the Trinity of the Old and New Testament) is SIN and causes harm to us AND our families.

Such dangerous books/insights could be two (2) of the following, because they lead/allow us to choose a higher power or person other than the Jewish Messiah.  The holy book of Deuteronomy warns us NOT to disobey any one of its precepts, lest a curse come upon us and our families.

Hay, Louise L  Heal our Body - The Mental Causes for Physical Illnesses and the Metaphysical Way to Overcome Them www.louiselhay.com
Right away, we know that Louise is NOT God's resource.  However her book is another tree of knowledge, at least initially, until we become entrapped.
She like Pastor Henry Wright and others presents the disease/problem/symptom, possible root cause such as negative emotion, plus solution such as replacing negative with opposite positive emotion (or contradictory positive saying that one is suppose to speak).  Perhaps one could call Louise a behavioral therapist.  However, she misunderstands her source or is not honest with us.  Louise declares, "I dedicate this...to the Divine Infinite Intelligence for channeling through me that which others need to hear."  The Trinity is NOT an intelligence, but 3 Persons, Father God, Jesus Messiah, Holy Spirit.  Ms Hay also credits Dr. Robert Lang, Pete Grim, and Rene Espy with many of her insights.
To Hay's (not her doctor's) credit, she was cured of vaginal cancer, which had been triggered by (rooted in) being raped at age 5.
Hay says, "The way to control your life is to control your choice of words and thoughts.  No one thinks in our mind but you." 
Ms. Hay gives credit to a generic good universe and love inside us; God is a Person, NOT a thing or idea.  He is Love and is jealous for a love relationship with us.

Whitfield, Dr Charles L Whitfield  A Gift to Myself   A Personal Workbook and Guide to Healing the Child Within 
Appendix 1 My Family Tree  Illustrated graph/template/genealogy of family dysfunctions
Workbook is superior UNTIL chapter 27 Spirituality which encourages us to enlist a higher power and reject the Judeo-Christian spiritual roots. 
Beginning with chapter 27, the workbook becomes like the tree of knowledge of good and evil.  Eve chose evil and did effect her entire family and descendants.  Additionally, NO person, can heal himself or others, without the power of the evil spirit or Holy Spirit.  Be forewarned.
Chapters prior to #27 do clarify/reinforce current teachings on the importance of knowing one's family of origin/genealogy/family curses/sins/problems for which one needs to recognize, renounce, refuse, reject, and repent.  Whitfield wants to do away with (numb/erase the feeling of) real/genuine sin/shame/guilt and so does Satan; whereas the Trinity knows the only way to be rid of all psychiatric and physical trauma is through repentance and Forgiveness of self and others.  Remember, psychiatric basket cases are typically demon oppressed and sometimes demon possessed.  Denial of demons only gives them permission to haunt.

Sanctification
The process whereby we DAILY become less and God becomes more inside of us.
Remember.  Jesus relinquished His will to the will of the Father.
Jesus' dead self was so full of God that His Holy Spirit burst out of the grave, taking Jesus with Him.

"
Father; forgive me (us) for not giving the land a Sabbath rest. Forgive me (us) for not giving myself (ourselves) a Sabbath rest. Forgive me (us) for not giving our employees a Sabbath rest.
Forgive me (us) because in so doing, I (we) have rejected Your holy principles and ordinances.
...
Lord, break off all consequences on me (us) and on the land from curses related to not taking a Sabbath rest and not giving the land rest."
 In Jesus name, (we) "
I renounce any elemental spirits that absorb or block the workings of Your Holy Spirit, both to and through me (us). Remove any and all contamination from the elemental spirits and return it to neutrality."
"Father, (in Jesus' name) I (we) repent and renounce for any way in which I (we) or my (our) generations past have manifested an ungodly gift of healing or have relied on or called upon other powers for healing other than You. I (we) repent and renounce for any rejection of Your authentic healing gifts by myself or by anyone in my family line including all my (our) ancestors. Lord, would you remove all curses against the gift of healing? Remove all thorns and nettles."
"Lord Jesus, I repent and renounce for all those in my (our) family line all the way back to Adam and Eve, who because of their sin, released thorns and thistles into the ground, placing a curse on reproduction - the reproduction of the land, the reproduction of business, spiritual reproduction, and on human reproduction.
As a parent, I repent and renounce for myself and my family line for provoking my (our) children to anger and not blessing them to walk in Sonship. I (we) now release them to walk in Godly inheritance, authority, and as sons properly placed in a redeemed family tree. As a son, I repent and renounce for myself and my (our) generational line for not honoring my (our) parents. I ask for realignment of the redeemed family tree. I receive the parental blessing and move forward in freedom.
I (we) repent and renounce for those who focus on the moon, fear the moon, and worship the moon, rather than the Son of God. Lord, will you break all curses related to moon worship?
Lord, I (we) repent for those who denied the gift of healing, spoke against the gift, and cursed the gift of healing. Will you break all curses that came against me (us)? Will you remove that one which brings sickness and disease - the anti-healing one?
Lord, will you heal the damage done to my back? Will you break all the curses on reproduction that have come against me (us)? Lord, disconnect me (us) and my (our) family from all fertility cults and sacrifices that have brought curses, barrenness, and thorns into our lives and our land.
Father, I (we) repent and renounce for choosing to drink the water of affliction rather than drinking from the river of life. Father, I (we) repent and renounce for silencing the seed, for shutting the truth within my (our) bowels, and allowing the moons of unrighteousness to overshadow the righteousness within me (us).
Lord, I (we) repent and renounce for myself (ourselves) and my (our) family line who have spilled their seed on the ground or caused the seed of others to be spilled upon the ground. Lord, I repent and renounce for blocking the seed of evangelism. Father, forgive me and my family line for covering Your light...
Cause Your light to shine through me (us) that others might see You and come to know You.
Lord, will You burn up the bramble bush - that ungodly misrepresentation of the evangelism and healing You desire to bring forth?..I repent and renounce for others who also hid their lights...
Lord, will you burn away the things that entangle, so that I (we) may be released to fly in the fullness of my (our) inheritance?
Lord, please turn the wilderness and wasteland into streams in the desert and the parched land into a pool. I (we) receive the healing of the land and of my (our) body. Lord, will You open the blind eyes, unstop the deaf ears, heal the lame, and release the mute to shout for joy? (Isaiah 35)...
"Moreover, the light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be 7 fold, as the light of 7 days, In the day that the Lord binds up the bruise of His people and heals the stroke of their wound," Isaiah 30:26.
I (we) repent and renounce for the Rahab spirit - that 'do nothing' spirit.
I (we) repent and renounce on behalf of myself and my generational line for all ungodly plantings and for not being grounded and rooted in love and for receiving nourishment and strength from the land and not from You. I (we) repent and renounce for receiving and relying on the ungodly fruit that was produced from this ungodly planting. I (we) repent and renounce for me (us) and my (our) generational line for ungodly dependence on the land. I (we) repent and renounce for all worship of the land. I (we) break all ungodly ties for me (us) and my (our) generational line with the land.
Father, I (we) repent and renounce for trying to reap fruit from thorns and from bramble bushes. Cause me (us) to see and discern the trees from which I (we) pick fruit. I (we) want only fruit from Your hand - from what and from whom You have ordained for me (us) - not from any imposters...
Father, I (we) repent and renounce for all false gifts of healing. I (we) repent and renounce for myself and anyone in my (our) generations who declared that healing was not of God, but came from my enemy. I (we) repent and renounce for any false healing gifts or the misuse of any healing gifts both for myself (ourselves) and for my ancestors. I (we) repent and renounce for turning away from, or discrediting the healing gifts.
Lord, will You break the curse off of the land? Will You heal the land? Will You break the curse off of healing? Will You break the curse off of me (us)? Will You appropriate Your blood over the land and over me (us) and over the healing gifts in these specific matters?
I (we) now accept and receive Your healing, Your healing gifts, callings, and mantles. Help me (us) not to look to myself (ourselves) to make the gifts work. Grant me (us) faith that You will do all that needs to be done. You alone are God.
I (we) ask that all healing and healing giftings and mantles from You come forth...(now).
Glorify Your name. Cover the earth with Your glory. Amen." (We give Your praise and thanksgiving.)
