I’m not sure about you, but words are powerful to me! Quite often I find myself dissecting the meaning of a word. Quite often I find myself analysing ones motives in a sentence. So many of us are verbal abusers without even realising it.
Here’s the thing, I believe every family has a purpose, whatever the arrangements or circumstances, I believe each family has a message. Now whether your message will build Gods Kingdom or not that’s another story. For my family, I believe our purpose is in communications. Why do I say communications? We kill, steal and destroy with our words. It’s very rare for my family to be pure in their words, we have pure motives but somehow our heart posture(s) are not planted on good soil.
You can have something valid with great substance to say, but if your heart is on shaky ground, your tone, language and delivery will hurt ones healing process. Why do I say we have pure motives? I spend time in the presence of God, I desire to change that pattern, however to change that pattern (break generational curses) you must be Willing to seek and serve one God. So many people grew up going to Church, memorising scripture but not developing an intimate relationship with The Holy Spirit.
It is only through you intentionally dating The Holy Spirit will you get to know the choices of your forefathers that are affecting you today. I would like to go a little further. Have you ever wondered why people cheat? In my quiet time here’s the whisper I got, “Your forefathers may not have cheated physically, but could they have cheated spiritually and you are now reaping the fruit emotionally and physically?” Yikes that’s a lot to take in for myself, I must admit! However in my difficulty of receiving the sour taste of this whisper, I do desire to create a new lane for the generations coming behind me. Serving and Obeying one God comes with a different schedule and work ethic.
A schedule that requires commitment to myself from within. And a work ethic that requires to focus on my healing from within. Serving and giving to people is not difficult for me. But, serving and giving to myself is somehow frustrating, painful and shame filled. Can anyone relate? See you soon.
