The son shall not bear the guilt of the father,\nnor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the\nrighteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon\nhimself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those\nwho have preached generational sin messages failed to include this passage thus\nleaving us to believe that we have a major challenge as we look at our own\nfamily history.&nbsp; The Blood of Jesus\nChrist is fully effective in all cases of past sins and lawlessness.&nbsp; Our DNA was not omitted from being impacted\nby His Blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paul\nexpressed the importance of fighting failure when he wrote by THE SPIRIT in\nEphesians chapter 6:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">13\nTherefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in\nthe evil day, and having done all, to stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">14\nStand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the\nbreastplate of righteousness, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">15\nand having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">16\nabove all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all\nthe fiery darts of the wicked one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">17\nAnd take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the\nword of God; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">18\npraying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful\nto this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The\nhelmet of salvation is meant to protect our minds from the evils of the\npast.&nbsp; As we stand on the Truth of The\nWord, we will defeat our past failures and finally accept the reality that we\nare indeed a new creation!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FATHER spoke in Jeremiah 29: 11&nbsp; \u201c \u2018For I know, ascertaining by what I see, the thoughts and devices I think and account upon, above and over you,\u2019 says YHVH, \u2018thoughts and devices of completeness, soundness, welfare and peace, not of adversity, displeasure and misery; to set in place and give the cord of hope [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7108","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-love"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/servias.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7108","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/servias.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/servias.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/servias.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/servias.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7108"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/servias.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7108\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7109,"href":"https:\/\/servias.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7108\/revisions\/7109"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/servias.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7108"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/servias.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7108"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/servias.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7108"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
