God’s grace and mercy far surpass any generational curses, setting a new legacy of righteousness.

Developing the Right Mindset and Attitude for Dealing with Personal and Generational Demonic Oppression

Biblical Foundations: Looking to God for Deliverance

Numbers 21:8 says:

And the LORD said to Moses, ‘Make a bronze serpent and set it on a pole; and it shall come to pass, that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live.’

Also, Exodus 7:16 has this to say:

And you shall say to him, ‘The LORD God of the Hebrews has sent me to you, saying, “Let My people go, that they may serve Me in the wilderness”; and indeed, until now you would not hear!’

Recognizing the Reality of Demonic Oppression

We all know the biblical story of the Israelites being attacked by snakes due to their complaining, and how God provided a bronze serpent (representing Christ) for their salvation.

If I were in that situation, I might be more focused on the next snake than on the solution.

Similarly, in our lives, we may experience the reality of demonic influence or generational issues despite knowing we are saved. We might be aware of these spiritual holds in our lives and families.

This is often referred to as demonic oppression.

Overcoming Fear and Deception

Unfortunately, we sometimes give too much credence to Satan and his actions, thereby placing a premium on his activities. We tend to believe in the power of curses and demonic activity more than we believe in God’s covenant and His promise of deliverance.

We fear the spoken word of a curse more than the spoken, written, and revealed word of God and its blessings.

Our trust in Satan’s abilities often surpasses our trust in God’s salvation. We seem to forget that salvation (literally) means salvation.

The Importance of Persistence in Prayer

This doesn’t mean we should ignore Satan’s work; that would be unbiblical. But as the biblical passage teaches, even in Satan’s attacks, darkness, and destruction, God calls us to look to Him.

Our fear of Satan’s power is often reinforced by the lack of results we see despite our prayers and fasting.

It’s a reality that we may be seeing and experiencing tangible signs of darkness and suffering due to oppression.

As the biblical story suggests, looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, is the way forward, despite our circumstances.

Understanding the Process of Deliverance

The phrase “author and perfecter of our faith” in Hebrews 12:2 implies a process – a beginning and an end.

Just as God’s command to “let My people go” initiated a process where Pharaoh hardened his heart and increased the Israelites’ labor, God also brought about deliverance through persistent plagues.

Focusing on God’s Promises

We, too, must persevere in prayer, focusing on God (not glorifying Satan), until we reach the point where the oppressive activity ceases. The promise that “the Egyptians you see today, you will see no more” doesn’t always mean instant deliverance; it’s a process.

We may still experience the effects of the “Egyptians” (our oppressors) for a time, but persistent prayer will lead to their eventual defeat.

Recognizing the Nature of Demonic Oppression

Satan often seems powerful and insurmountable, but we must not forget God’s promises. Don’t be afraid of Satan, even when he tries to intimidate us. Don’t magnify him or his power.

Keep praying, insisting on your freedom.

The Nature of Demonic Oppression

Like a Pharaoh who had no right to enslave an entire nation, yet saw himself as a god (just as Satan did in heaven), refusing to release Israel (that is, us) despite having no legitimate claim over us.

But that’s his nature, like a thief.

The Deceptive Nature of Satan

A thief takes what doesn’t belong to him, feeling entitled to what isn’t his. Even though we are free in Christ, Satan still tries to cling to what he believes is rightfully his, attempting to convince us that he has a claim over us (and unfortunately, some of us believe him).

But remember, he is a liar. Lies and deception are his greatest weapons.

Ephesians 6 instructs believers to put on the full armor of God, not to fight with physical weapons, but to stand against Satan’s cunning and deception. That’s all he is – a deceiver.

Fixing Our Eyes on Jesus

So, as we pray, let us fix our eyes on Jesus, remembering:

I. The Power of Grace and Mercy

Where sin abounds, grace abounds even more. Choose to believe in the overwhelming power of grace over sin’s darkness, curses, and death (Romans 5:20).

ii. Generational Blessings Over Generational Curses

Grace and mercy have reigned for thousands of generations. While the consequences of sin may extend to the third and fourth generation, God’s grace and mercy extend to thousands (Exodus 34:6-7).

Creating a New Legacy of Righteousness

If generational curses can manifest through one person’s sin, then generational blessings can also flow through faith in Jesus and a life of righteousness. The endless stream of generational blessings far surpasses the limited reach of generational curses.

Look around; if there are any faithful Christians in your family (even if it’s just Grandma!), remember that God’s mercy extends to thousands.

Individual Responsibility and Power

While sin entered the world through one man and wreaked havoc on entire generations, through one man (Jesus, and by extension, literally one man in the family – you!), a new flow of righteousness can set a generation free.

Romans 5:12 expands on this and has this to say:

Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.

The Blessing of Abraham for All Families

In our covenant of salvation, the blessing given to Abraham extends to all families of the earth, including our own.

Genesis 12:3 says:

And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

Experiencing Total Salvation

There is no ambiguity in the term “salvation.” It just means salvation and must be experienced in its entirety for you and your household.

In Acts 16:31, we read:

And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

That is it. Once you believe, your salvation is assured!

Conclusion: Keep Praying and Believing

Remember the terms of our covenant and redemption. Identify what has been stolen, recognize the lies we might be believing about our captivity, and change them. Keep insisting on your freedom in prayer.

When you are free, remember you were made free to worship the only true God. After all, He said, “Let My people go so they can off

Keep praying!
