A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the Lord (Deutoronomy 23:2).

Before anyone gets offended-my younger child was born out of wedlock, so this applied to him, as well. I had scoped about this in the past and a viewer not only received deliverance but was able to move forward from the guilt and shame of being a child born out of wedlock (more specifically a product of adultery). I myself had this generational curse in my bloodline; my mother was born out of wedlock, her mother had been born out of wedlock, and though I don’t know my family history any further back it wouldn’t surprise me that this pattern has repeated itself for decades. It comes as no surprise to me that history repeated itself with my own child. And I had been married when my older son had been born!

I believe in transparency, so for anyone not familiar with my story: I come from a long line of Jezebels and I myself was a full blown Jezebel for years (please see The Jezebel Spirit) As a result, I married and divorced not one, but two Ahabs (please refer to The Ahab Spirit). I became pregnant with my second child while still being legally married to my second husband, so my son was not only born with the curse of the bastard but also in adultery. Needless to say, I was in a backslidden state at the time. Through YHVH’s infinite mercy I repented and am back in the fold, having been refined through the fire of affliction and delivered from a lifetime of bondage. My mission now is to educate and equip the saints on generational curses and how to be delivered.

The curse of the bastard is pretty self explanatory. Any child born out of wedlock will be under this curse. Many will say, “But we are no longer under the law and Christ removed all those curses when He died on the cross and rose again!” I wish that were true and all the misinformed saints (which I myself was) were correct, but from personal experience and the stories that others have shared with me I can assure you that this is simply not the case. Sin is costly and devastating; it must be addressed. Generational curses are real and all throughout the bible we see the same behavior patterns repeating in families. The same applies to our families today. How many of us have generations of alcoholics, drug addicts, adulterers and the like? On the flip side, there are also families with generations of spirit filled christians who serve the Lord. You cannot tell me that generational curses are not real. Please read through Deuteronomy 28 and prayerfully reconsider.

As far back as my great grandmother there has been the spirit of Jezebel and the curse of the bastard at work in my family. I’m sure it goes back even further, but this is the last ancestor I have been able to trace to my family tree. It was sickening and saddening to see just how rotten those roots were, but I also take great comfort in knowing that with my own deliverance I am doing everything in my power to keep future generations from entering into bondage. You may be knee deep in the mire, but Christ came to set the captive free. There is hope for you and your descendants today. I have also written out a Spoken Blessing Over Children.

This is not to judge anyone or to point the finger: if I am pointing my finger it is to send you in the right direction. Take some time to minister to yourself. Read my post Self Deliverance. Write out those lists and say the prayers out loud. Seal those doors with the blood of Jesus. If you or your child(ren) was born out of wedlock, you must repent and break that curse over yourself and your descendants. You must also forgive yourself and your parents. To know better is to do better.

The spirits of rejection and abandonment are attached to this particular curse, as are lust, sexual immorality and whoredoms; these are its familiar spirits. Spend some time in prayer and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any other; I guarantee there are more. Write down whatever comes to mind and include it in the prayer written out below.

Warfare Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come boldly before Your throne of grace and humbly repent of my sin (or my parents’ sin). Right now I break the curse of the bastard over myself and the ten generations after me who would have been affected. I also break rejection and abandonment over myself and order the spirits of (name each one by one) to leave in the mighty name of Jesus of Nazareth. I seal those doors behind me with the blood of Christ and I thank You for Your perfect sacrifice that makes my freedom possible.

I am no longer bound by Satan nor will I believe his lies. I have been set free and will not return to Egypt (Exodus 12:40). Father, grant me the wisdom, courage and strength to live a life of holiness that is pleasing to you. Hide me in the shadow of Your wing (Psalm 91:4). I thank You for Your tender mercies towards me. Holy Spirit, transform me. Let today be the day I walk in complete freedom. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
