Today’s Devotional Is Written By A Young Woman: Who Is Tending The Garden God Has Given Her: Tracy Koweh
Blood is Thicker than Water
And the Root of the Problem is...Part II
Deuteronomy 28:15-22 (New Living Translation)15 “But if you refuse to listen to the LORD your God and do not obey all the commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these curses will come and overwhelm you: 16 Your towns and your fields will be cursed.17 Your fruit baskets and breadboards will be cursed. 18 Your children and your crops will be cursed. The offspring of your herds and locks will be cursed.19 Wherever you go and whatever you do, you will be cursed. 20 “The LORD himself will send on you curses, confusion, and frustration in everything you dou, ntil at last you are completely destroyed for doing evil and abandoning me. 21 The LORD will afflict you with diseases until none of you are left in the land you are about to enter and occupy. 22 The LORD will strike you with wasting diseases, fever, and inflammation, with scorching heat and drought, and with blight and mildew. These disasters will pursue you until you die.
We've all heard the saying: "For every action, there is a re-action". Well, the same is true in the spirit world. We quote proverbs, "You reap what you sow", but do we fully understand the depth of its implications. I remember working with a lady whose mother and three sisters all passed away from cancer. The doctors said it was in her genes, that it was being passed down through her bloodline from one generation to the next.
In doing some further research, I found that natural disease have a direct link to spiritual shortcomings. For instance, cancer can be cause by unforgiveness, a broken spirit, and unresolved issues with another person. Allergies can come from fear, anxiety and stress. Accident Prone people tend to have a low self-image. Depression is caused from an unloving spirit toward self, or feeling rejection from someone else. Back problems are rooted in self-rejection. A.D.D. is caused by self-hatred, self-bitterness, and the cure would be to get the individual to love themselves... not heavily medicate them. Unresolved rage and anger leads to Aneurysms, and the lists goes on.
Just as we pass down "bad blood" in the natural, we pass down "bad blood" in the spiritual. I hear people say that each generation gets stronger, faster, wilder, and bigger than the one before. And just as this is true for their flesh, the same principle can be seen in the spirit. More of our children are being diagnosed with ADD, depression, and even cancer now in their pre-teen years than ever before. They are dying from heart attacks, strokes and natural causes before they see the age of twenty-one.
Today as you continue to clean up your family legacy, don't forget to kill the spiritual roots of the situation. Remember that if a demon comes back, it comes back and it brings seven other demons with it. Our children are fighting unseen principalities that they did nothing to provoke but be born. We are battling with demons because of something someone in our past did or did not handle. Let us stand and cut the roots off for the last time, and let us begin to plant seeds of self-love, self-worth,peace, sanity, forgiveness and wholeness in Christ.
