6 Steps to Remove Generational Curses in Heaven’s Courtroom

1. Be in God’s Word

To start, I want to go talk about making a choice to be in God’s Word. Being in God’s Word is a cornerstone to choosing to…

• • Pray God’s Word
  • Read God’s Word
  • Proclaim God’s Word

• Make a choice with God’s Word every day.

Decree

So the first thing we’re going to do is we’re going to say, “Father God, we come into Your mercy courts in the Courts of Heaven.”

And listen, if you don’t mean this, don’t say it. But some of you need to be able to say, “Father, God, forgive me for not coming into your courts every day, but I choose to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all of the things shall be added on to me. And Lord, I choose, I choose right now, Lord, to make a decision, a decree that I will approach You every day. I will pray not only for my needs, but I will pray Your Word to be able to fulfill my needs, in Jesus’ name. Amen.”

2. Enter the Courts

You need to enter the Courts of Heaven by approaching the Righteous Judge. Isaiah 43:26 tells us to put God into remembrance of His Word in this case. Here’s how we do that.

Decree

We say, “Father God, I approach You as Righteous Judge, heavenly Father. And Father God, Your Word says, ‘put You into remembrance of Your Word that we might contend together.’

“Lord, Your Word says, by Your stripes I am healed. Lord, I decree that You are the Author and Finisher of my faith. You are the high priest of this, my body, the temple of the Holy Spirit, this sanctuary.

“I ask that Your blood and Word cleanse me from the top of my head to the soles of my feet. And Just Judge and heavenly Father, I ask that You pronounce judgment over my body by the blood of Jesus. And anything contrary to Your ways, rooted in sin, I repent of. Let the sin be expunged and let my healing manifest in my body now, Just Judge, heavenly Father. And Lord, I thank You that by Your stripes, I am healed of the Lord.

“So Lord, remove the roots of generational inequities, thoughts and patterns such as breast cancer, as it goes from generation to generation. So whether it’s cancer, a heart disease, diabetes, whatever it is, Father God, in the name of Yeshua, we cancel all iniquitous generational structures that are written in the devil’s handwriting against my family, and I cancel it.

“And even those generational curses that my family has spoken into and say words such as, ‘Well, my cancer or my heart disease,’ we cancel those assignments and those words. They are not Your words. Lord, we surrender it by the blood of Jesus and give it to the Lord. And Lord, we repent and ask for forgiveness. Cleanse the bloodline, Father God.”

3. Forgive Yourself and Others

Forgive yourself and others for the hurt and the pain that you’ve experienced or caused. Forgive both sides of your family back to the garden.

Decree

“So Father God, as we approach You in the mercy court, we ask You, Lord, to forgive us this day, our sins as we forgive those who have trespassed against us. And Lord, thank you.

“Lead us not into temptation to be able to lift it up and to speak it out again. Lord, put a guard over my mouth that I will not come in agreement with it. And Lord, I cleanse my bloodline on my father’s side and my mother’s side all the way back to the garden that these generational iniquities, iniquitous structures, these Baal structures, this sickness, this disease, these bad habits and patterns are cut off and removed.

“Lord, this demonic attack that has come in my family line, I decree and declare that in the mercy court today, Just Judge, it is done.

4. Renounce the Curse

Renounce anything contrary to the Word of God. Colossians 2:13-15 tells you that God cleanses you and wipes out the handwriting and the requirements against you and nails the curse to the cross. His blood renounces the curse in the Courts of Heaven and stops the enemy from stealing from you.

Decree

“And Father God, we decree and ask that there would be a proclamation from You, heavenly Father, that these curses will cease and desist in my life and my family’s life, in Yeshua’s name.”

5. Apply the Blood

Apply the blood and pray in the Courts of Heaven.

Decree

“Lord, we’re declaring that the blood of Jesus covers all the sins in our family life, known and unknown family lines. We’re decreeing the blood in the heavenly courts. We put a gag order on the enemy, and we release covenant promises into the atmosphere now, in Yeshua’s name. So all accusations from the accuser of the brethren, all those weird crazy thoughts and dreams, we cancel them right now. They will not come to pass in Yeshua’s name.

Strike the Accuser’s Words from the Record

Now it is time to strike the accuser’s words from the record.

Decree

“So Lord, Just Judge, heavenly Father, in the mercy Courts of Heaven, we are requesting an annulment. We’re requesting an annulment, releasing warring angels to bring restitution and restoration into our life. Your Word says that the angels of the Lord shall harken onto the Word of God for its bidding. And Lord, I’m making a choice to be in God’s Word.

“I am making a choice to meditate on God’s Word. And Lord, I am making a choice to live and put God’s Word first. I’m making a choice to seek first the kingdom of God, His righteousness and all of the things shall come onto thee.

“So Lord, I just thank You for each and everyone who is participating in these prayers and making a difference in your family line.”

Focus on Spiritual Results, Not Religious Activity

I’m really into spiritual results. I’m not into religious activity. With the call that Christie and I have had over the last 33 years working in the Middle East and working in the nation of Israel primarily, we’ve had to learn how to go into the Courts to be able to reverse the fiery darts and the things that have come against us.

So anytime you pioneer something, you need to understand that you need to have three things in your life.

1. You need emotional intelligence.

You need to make a commitment to the Lord to develop. You make a decision as a disciple that you will allow the Lord to develop you. And the first thing you need is emotional intelligence. Okay? I have a book on emotional healing that you can go to CurtLandry.com and order the emotional healing book.

I call it Emotional Intelligence. It’s critical that you understand how to maintain your emotions according to Psalm 103, “Bless the Lord oh my soul.” You can develop your mind to have a spiritual mindset of faith versus fear. Okay?

2. You need spiritual intelligence.

What I’m walking you through in this season is spiritual intelligence and understanding spiritual warfare.

Ephesians 6 says, “You put on the full armor of God, and you battle not against flesh and blood.” So you need to understand that.

3. You need financial intelligence.

So it goes: emotional, spiritual, financial. So that’s ESF, ESF. Make a commitment to focus on these three things for the next 10 years.

Say…

• I will develop my emotional intelligence.
• I will develop my spiritual intelligence.
• I will invest and develop my biblical financial intelligence.

Because what happens is if you can control your emotions, you can overcome in the spirit, and you can overcome financially, you will answer your call, and you will hear, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”

And you will financially, spiritually and relationally be an earth-shaker, a world-shaker, and you will be making a difference in people’s lives.

So it kind of goes back to what we spoke of at the beginning of the podcast. When I ask myself, ‘why am I accepting this assignment?’ I’m accepting this assignment to help those to whom I am sent, not focused on helping myself.

If you’re going to make that kind of diverse paradigm shift in the way you think and the way you act, that takes an infusion of the blood of Jesus removing the sin so that you have so much joy from the power of the blood of Jesus expunging the sin in you and your family line that you want that healing for everybody that you interact with.

That’s being a disciple, following the words of Jesus saying, “Go to the nations,” baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, and raising up disciples.

That’s why we’re teaching you “Ancient Principles, Kingdom Authority” because nothing that I brought to you today is a new way of looking at anything. These are ancient principles, and the kingdom authority comes from the ancient act that expunges sins from us all.

And that was 2000 years ago at the cross of Calvary when Jesus said, “It is finished.” Because the wages of sin is death, you apply that blood over the death of the sin you commit. Declare the blood of Jesus over every sin you commit and those committed in our family line all the way back to the garden. When you do, you will become an overcomer, victorious and the joy of the Lord will be your strength. So congratulations and God bless you.
