Sometimes curses last for generations; we call them generational sins. Fortunately, the Lord loves to bless for generations, too. If you find yourself oppressed by a generational sin, God can deliver you! Not only will he deliver you, he will deliver your children and your grandchildren. Submit to the Lord and find real generational wealth.  #devotional
