Sins of our Fathers!!

Today I ran into my Aunt Judy at Walmart. Even though I had to get JJ to an appointment to get his immunization shots soon, I still decided to say hello. Well if you know my Aunt Judy, you know that once she gets you into her snare, there is no getting out. lol. Anyway I did get the shots on time. Mainly because JJ started screaming his head off and I told her that he needed to eat.

But she mentioned that she felt she was called to pray over the younger generations in our family for us to overcome the sin in our lives. Well I was reading a book last night and in it, it talked about praying and repenting of the sins of our fathers and the generations before us. Both those things got me to thinking.

It says in the Bible that sins are passed down. So to fully get rid of sin in our lives we need to not only pray over our childrens lifes, but to repent of the sins of our families past, so that they no longer have a hold our families.

I don't want the sins of John and mine to cause sin in our childrens lives. I know that sin from our families past is affecting us now and I am wanting to sever it at its start. I want it to no longer have a hold over my families lives. I am claiming the blood of Jesus over my sins and the sins of the past and asking for the Lord to wash them away!!
