I was rocking my grandson to sleep when I saw a woman walk on my porch. For some reason, I was seeing in the Spirit. I don't recall praying, but perhaps I was pondering a dream I had a few nights before. Either way, God's grace was shown to me as the vison was given to me. This woman walked through the snow dressed in something like buffalo skin. She had on a thick brown coat and I believe brown pants. She was wearing furry snow boots. She had long dark hair, she was thin, and looked to be of Indian descent. I simply prayed in the Spirit because I did not know what this visitation was about, but I knew it was important.
She said, “It’s because of me. It started with me.” I immediately knew she was talking about the anxiety and depression that moved through our family line. I say, "our" because I sensed she was one of my ancestors. Perhaps a grandmother from many years ago. She knelt on bended knee and bowed her head on my porch. I’m not sure if she was praying or what she was doing, but she knelt. I kept praying in the Spirit. Someone I care about came to my mind. I continued to pray in the Spirit. I thought I heard her say that someone attacked her and that she could not forgive. Trauma came to her and she did not forgive the abuser.
Suddenly we were both in the courts of heaven facing the Judge. I kept praying in the Spirit. I did not think it was fair that trauma and anxiety fell on this one that I cared for and my family in general. Trauma comes in many different ways, but anxiety and depression seems to be the mark it leaves on my family. While standing there with her, I knew I needed a verdict released in my favor to break this curse off my legacy. We were both facing the Judge as I kept praying in the Spirit. Someone said, “One thing has to happen first.” The one I care about suddenly appeared and was standing in between us. I laid my head on their head as they bowed their head low and I said, “Ask God to forgive you for whatever it is that He brings to your mind. Whatever comes up in your heart, ask God to forgive you of that.” I kept praying in the Spirit. I had no idea what needed discussed between them and God, but their needed to be a conversion and a request for forgiveness. The vision ended.
I am thankful God gave me this vision. I did nothing to earn it or deserve it, but God in His goodness and grace knows my heart and remembers every prayer I have ever prayed. I kept rocking my grandson and wondered if there were words spoken that hurt someone. Wounding words can cause a lot of harm. Sometimes, especially if they are repetitious, they can be traumatic. Did they mistreat someone and regret that? I’m not sure, but I prayed that God would deal with their heart and move them to "speak out loud" what they need forgiveness for. I questioned if they have ever asked God to forgive them of any of their sins or did they just ask God to come into their life and help him.
It’s like having an unpaid parking ticket. Even when the Judge wants to let you go, unpaid debts must be paid first. Jesus paid all our debts (sins) through His blood because His blood is far more valuable and powerful than anything in this world. When we ask for “forgiveness” (the release of a debt owed) in Jesus name, we are getting our debt paid (sin wiped away) with His blood. Our “confession and asking” releases the power of Jesus’ redeeming blood into our life. We just have to talk about it with Him. It's as simple as saying it "out loud" to Him and asking Him for forgiveness.
I share this for two reasons. One, God remembers every prayer you have ever prayed and will answer! He knows there are things running through your family that you want stopped. Two, don't neglect to ask Him for forgiveness. Ask the Holy Spirit to check your heart and to put it on your mind what it is you need to confess to God so that forgiveness, cleansing, and healing can come. Make an effort to break generational curses off your family by humbling yourself before God and asking Him for help. Repent and ask for forgiveness. He will lead you and your legacy to freedom!
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
