Have you tried and tried and yet failed to overcome your weaknesses? Then you are close to deliverance. If you have discovered that your own efforts will never be enough to secure a lasting victory, then you are ready to turn to God’s power to destroy the ties—your inherent weaknesses—that bind you:
But as many as receive him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. John 1:12
When you were born again, God came to live in you to restore you to wholeness of “sonship.” Having lived for years as a slave to family iniquities, you defined yourself by your weaknesses. You may have heard yourself saying thing like: “I’m always sick; I go from one thing to another! I’ll always be poor too. Why, if it weren’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all! I’ve tied to give up drinking, but it’s stronger than I am. I’ll go to my grave doing it—just like my dad did.”
You can define yourself down to being a powerless creature—a victim of your own weaknesses. But you are not a victim but a victor; not a loser but a winner; not on the bottom but above every sin, situation, and sickness.
You don’t have to plead and beg for deliverance; the gift has already been given to you. You don’t have to be worthy, go to Bible school, be called to full-time ministry, or be perfect with no past mistakes. This very minute you have within you the power of God.
This power is not just for your salvation—that was only the beginning. As a child of God, you are promised an abundant life:
I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10
God’s power will roll over and crash through anything—including family iniquities—that stand between you and the abundant life due to you as a child of God. It is time for you to redefine yourself by the Scriptures and assume your real identity as God’s son or daughter—a supernatural being who wields the power of break the curse in your family tree and to establish generational blessings.
