Living with the Spirit of Accusation....

If you are a Christian and been around the church for any length of time, you have heard about "generational curses". If not, the term "generational curse" means that there are behaviors that seem to follow from say, your parents family to yours and from your parents family to theirs, etc. For example; your moms dad physically abused your mom, and your dad's dad physically abused his mom, etc. Most people want to stop that cycle as to not carry it to their family and into their kids family's. That is, if you are aware of the destructive behavior and sometimes the behavior isn't quite that overt. It may just be anger, which we can justify in our minds so we don't look at that as a destructive behavior. Their is a time for anger, but we are asked not to sin in the midst of our anger, and that can be hard to do.
During the church service yesterday, Tom was talking about, living with the spirit of accusation, something became more clear to me. I looked my generational stuff as an action that I needed to break, but it is a whole lot more than that. It is wanting to acknowledge, committing to prayer and putting before God the "Goliath" in my life or for most of us, the plural "Goliaths". You know in the bible that Goliath taunted and eventually wore down the his enemies. David on the other hand didn't listen to him and killed him with a stone.
So I guess what we need to keep in mind, if we want true freedom for ourselves and our families is this: Being open and trusting that our Lord will show us where the accusation in our lives began, when we came into agreement with the accusation. We then need to come against the accuser(satan) in our life with Gods truth, and when we finally do that our Lord will come and defend us and say to the enemy(satan), game over, you can no longer accuse because they know now the truth of who they are in Me.
I couldn't think of a better defense attorney than God.

Just a thought...
