1Ki 11:12 Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it for David thy father's sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son. (The punishment would fall in the generation of the son)
2Sa 3:29 Let it rest on the head of Joab, and on all his father's house; and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath an issue, or that is a leper, or that leaneth on a staff, or that falleth on the sword, or that lacketh bread. (David is speaking a curse on the house of Joab of sickness, leporsey, crippling, murder and starvation)
2Sa 12:10 Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife. (as long as David's "house" was, there would be bloodshed)
2Ki 5:27 The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed forever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow. (For greed ,the generations following would be punished)
Deu 23:2 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. (illegitimacy - break the curse of the bastard and see if a person who was conceived out of wedlock and who struggles in their walk with the Lord, suddenly is free from that struggle)
I have actually known those who were born out of wedlock struggle to maintain an active relationship with the Lord. While you could see that they truly wanted to serve the Lord and live a Godly life, from one day to the next they would fall back into old patterns.
When the bastard curse is broken there is a remarkable deliverance and change that takes place. Suddenly serving the Lord is easy (in comparison to what it was before) and they are able to go on and grow in the Lord.
Stick around we are going to be learning what the Word says about generational curses and how to get rid of them.
