Growing up I was the least confident little boy on the planet. That was a character trait that didn't exist in me at all. For so many years of my life I lived behind the mask & learnt to be comfortable there. I had a closeted mindset that I wasn't worthy of anything good, I was so used to making mistakes & being told that I was wrong about this & that. When it came down to taking the lead on anything I avoided the role opportunity because I was afraid of failure. Well how'd that affect me? & What does that have to do with generational curse breaking you ask? In the natural as I mentioned anything that required me to be on the frontline I ran from it, even though I had great ideas & strong important points to make I didn't have the confidence to stand on my own, even if that meant standing alone. I didn't like when teachers would ask me questions, because I didnt feel like I knew the answers. Other times I did know the answers but I didn't want to answer because I wanted to avoid being made fun of. I was already being referred to as "nerd" "lame" "goodytwoshoes" etc. because I wasn't like everyone else. The devil was clever & successful for years & pointing out my failures & shortcomings, even planting thoughts of unworthiness & inferiority in my mind. It even undermineded me in some of the relationship choices that I made prior to Chi's arrival, I was in a soul tie before she came (I'll share more about that in another post), & even when it came to my giftings it was hard for me to step out on anything because of the big "what if" factors that existed inside of me.
As it relates to generational curse breaking, I'm one of the first in my family who is steeping out in what I know God has anointed & appointed me to do. What everyone else spoke about me, what the devil said about me, & even the things I said about myself weren't the same things that my Father God said about me. I'm not the only one who's going through this ir experiencing this, I want to encourage everyone who reads this. People may not have valued you from family, to friends, etc. but God does, you may not fully know what's in you but God knows, you are a threat to the devil & his agenda in your life & the lives of others. Be encouraged with Phillipians 4:13 which says "You can do ALL things through Christ who gives you the strength" so stand tall & strong, be bold & powerful like a lion. LET YOUR ROAR BE LOUD!!!
I see this in people I meet everyday.
