10 Curses That Block The Blessing

 


Even though God had delivered Larry completely from drug addiction, he had
not been delivered from the uncontrollable outbursts of anger that had plagued
his life. Larry had tried everything he knew, but he could do nothing to put these
terrible moments of rage behind him.
These outbursts would come upon him unexpectedly, and when they did, he
said and did terrible things to his wife and even terrified his children. After
violent episodes, he would apologize in tears and beg his wife to forgive him.
Though he would promise to never lose his temper again, sooner or later his
control would slip. During one extreme outburst he understood that he had
become just like the generations before him, angry and violent. Though he had
vowed never to do those things, he had become the very thing that he most
hated.
In a moment of revelation he knew that he was confronting a generational
pattern, acting out his anger just as generations of his family had done before
him. He went to the Bible and began a study of generational curses that changed
his life.

Although the subject matter of this essay has been brewing over a long season, its present impetus stems from writing the commentary on Paul’s letter to the Philippians during Winter and Spring of 1994. As I worked through Paul’s text with great care, I experienced an ongoing encounter with the living God — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — an encounter which happened in two ways. On the one hand, as I exegeted the text so as to articulate its meaning for the sake of others in the church, I was often myself so overcome by the power of the Word that I was brought to tears, to joy, to prayer, or to praise. On the other hand, I was also regularly experiencing the text of this letter in church settings, in such overwhelming ways, that I felt compelled to mention it in the final paragraph of the Author’s Preface: Click Here To Download The Book

The Leadership Secrets Of Billy Graham

When you hear the name Billy Graham, do you think first of his leadership? Most of us do not. We recall his preaching to vast crowds in stadiums. We see the gracious television guest, appearing with hosts from Johnny Carson and David Frost to Larry King and Barbara Walters—always responding with gentle wisdom, explaining the gospel, but humbly admitting his own limitations. We remember his leading the nation in dramatic times of grief, or helping inaugurate presidents, but more as national pastor than leader. Click Here To Download The Book
