The "sins of the fathers" represents the accumulation of all sins committed by our ancestors. It is the heart tendency (iniquity) that we inherit from our forefathers to rebel against God's laws and commandments.

It is the propensity to sin in ways that represent perversion and twisted character. The accumulation continues until God's conditions for repentance are met.

Iniquity is likened to standing against a gale or wind in our face to sin. Iniquity pushes us to commit the same sins that our ancestors committed. 

In the same way Abraham and Sarah began a new “family tree” by which all of their descendants were known, so also can we.

A belief system includes our decisions, attitudes, agreements, judgments, expectations, vows, and oaths. 

Any system that agrees with God— including HIs Word, His nature, and His character— constitute Godly beliefs. 

Any system that doesn’t align with God is an ungodly belief. 

Pain from the past rules the lives of many people. We must come to God with our hurts and receive His healing of our soul and spirit, so that we no longer live-out the present in light of those pains of the past. 

This step is essential if you wish to find and fulfill your purpose.

Demons are invisible spiritual entities in a league with— and under the control of— Satan. They are out to do his bidding and to torment the people of God. 

When the Holy Spirit comes to live in a believer, He begins the work of sanctification by revealing the areas of oppression, so that we can walk in freedom.

Demons harass, enslave and entice. They deceive, torment, and compel people to move in unChristlike directions. 

They defile. 

Thankfully, the One who is in us is greater than the One who is in the world.

When rejection occurs and a deep wound results, a child may experience an orphan spirit, feeling as if they no longer belong to the parents. Their heart feels like that of an orphan— detached and unloved from their father. 

The result is often a combination of rejection and rebellion… and a different way of viewing our Heavenly Father than HIs true nature.

Many of us are wounded because of the faults and shortcomings of our fathers. Deep-seated hurts and fears form an “inner-core wounding” in our spirit, which results in “hidden-core pain” in our soul.

This pain can only be healed by Father God and can remain intact.

We all need love. If we don’t find it naturally, like we were created for, we will begin looking for it in the wrong places. We will look, because we all need love. 

A father’s love isn’t enough. As man and woman were both created in the image of God, there’s a unique role that only a mother can fill. 

There are four entryways Satan “legally” begins operating in a person’s life. He seeks to negatively impact us where we have opened doors of Fear, Hatred, Sexual Sin, and through the Occult and Witchcraft.

The solution is to invite Jesus to the door— then allow Him to seal it with His blood.

The shame-fear-control trifecta goes back to the beginning, to the Fall. This combination creates a stronghold that seeks to replace our true identity with an identity based on unworthiness and difficulty walking in who God designed us to be.

These three strongholds work together for form a “super stronghold” that can devastate relationships, individuals, and families over generations. 

The path forward— for the controlled and the controlled alike— involves walking in the Spirit instead of the flesh.
