I have heard it said many times and have said it myself many times that some of our actions and habits are from generational curses. However, I have come to learn that it is not really accurate. The truth is that what we are really dealing with is learned response behavior. Here's an example. I watched adults, mainly my dad, and where they turned when things weren't going their way. As a young boy watching adults who are stressed, grab a bottle of alcohol or drink way too many beers one after another, it was teaching me how to handle stress. So my learned response behavior would be to have a drink when things got hard or things weren't going my way. If it were a generational curse, I would be drinking like my dad did. But God taught me to unlearn what I grew up around and watched to come to Him when stress arises and that I don't need the alcohol for relief, but bringing the stress to the feet of Jesus! I don't drink at all, and I would, if what I watched was not unlearnable. This goes for abuse and other ungodly activities we see growing up. Let's not blame our current actions on our past or family, but rather, let's unlearn the bad behavior we observed and walk with the Lord! Walking with the Lord, we get restoration and not just relief!!!Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed - Hebrews 12:12-13
