Deuteronomy 5:9-10 KJV
“Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the
Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon
the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,
And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my
commandments.”
Another way negative patterns operate is by what
you may call strongholds or a holding pattern. A holding pattern is a
situation where an entire family can't seem to go beyond a particular
level in life.
There are families whom for many generations have not
been able to go beyond a particular income level, or may not have been
able to overcome a persistent sickness that has not spared anyone in the
family.
There are even families where no one ever graduated from high
school (secondary school) or college (university).
A very apt way to
present this kind of problem is what I call "demonic ceilings".
Such
that members of a family may work as hard as they want to, or may dream
all they want, they may even know all the right people there are to
know, but still cannot get past a particular level in life.
It seems
that a spirit of ceiling was put there to make sure they all end up as
servants, or beggars or paupers.
Just like a rat and all his generations
have been condemned to run and hide at the sight or sound of a cat.
They have been condemned to be prey for life; so, it is with a person
who has this kind of negative pattern in their family, but there is
hope.
There is a power that breaks strongholds according 2Corinthians
10:3-5, ‘The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but are mighty
through God to the pulling down of strongholds or holding patterns.’
Destroying patterns like these will require a thorough search of the
scriptures for the purpose of discovering truths that will neutralize
the facts on which these bondages stand. Once you make discoveries such
as these, the foundation of negative pattern will disintegrate
immediately.
The deliverance begins with your mind; remember "you shall
know the truth and the truth you know will make you free", (John 8:32).
Truth is superior to fact any time any day. But if you do not make those
discoveries, no matter how much prayer is offered over your head, the
bondage will continue. Once the stronghold in your mind is broken,
nothing outside will be difficult anymore.
Let the holding pattern over your life be broken in Jesus Name.
Assignment
i. Embark on a massive search of the word of God, and make discoveries that address the holding patterns in your life.
ii. Take up some spiritual journey of prayer and fast and put an end to them once and for all.
iii. Constantly confess your freedom and maintain your confession no matter what.
Prayer
-Lord I decree that I am free from every family encumbrances in Jesus Name.
-I accept what you originally made me to be, I was created perfect and
in your image. I reject everything less than your image and likeness in
me in Jesus Name.
Nugget
Once the stronghold in your mind is broken, nothing outside will be difficult anymore.
