Bloodline Covenants: The Hidden Power of Spiritual Agreements
How Your Spiritual Choices Impact Your Children and Grandchildren
The same Lord who visited Samuel also visited Abraham. And what did God do with Abraham that day? He made a covenant. A spirit—God himself—made a binding agreement with a human being.
What Does 'Covenant' Really Mean?
According to Strong's Concordance, the Hebrew word for covenant is berith (H1285), meaning "a compact made by passing between pieces of flesh." In Greek, it's diatheke (G1242), meaning "a disposition, arrangement, or testament." In Latin, it's foedus, meaning "treaty, alliance, formal agreement," or testamentum, meaning "will, testament, covenant."
How This Plays Out Today
This same principle operates today, but not always for good. People involved in Freemasonry, Eastern Star, voodoo, and similar practices are unknowingly forging covenants with demonic spirits. These agreements don't just affect the individual—they spiritually enslave entire bloodlines, creating patterns of negativity that repeat through generations.
The flip side is equally true. If you come from a godly bloodline where people fasted and prayed, you'll see the opposite effects—generational blessings. This doesn't mean you won't face hardships, but negativity won't define your life because righteous spirits are working in the background.
Scripture confirms this principle in Exodus 20:6, where God promises to show "mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments." Psalm 112:1-2 declares, "Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord... His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed." When righteous ancestors make covenants with God through prayer, fasting, and obedience, those spiritual agreements create legal rights for blessing that extend to their descendants.
The Generational Impact
Genesis 15:18 records: "In that day the Lord made a covenant with Abraham, saying, 'Unto thy seed have I given this land.'" This covenant spoke about future generations—those descendants would benefit from what he did that day.
Consider the reverse: when a great-grandfather becomes a 33rd-degree Freemason and makes pacts at altars, he unknowingly enslaves his future seed—children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. All who are susceptible fall under this covenant.
Why Spirits Visit
Genesis 26:1-5 proves this principle. When famine struck, Isaac (Abraham's son) went to Abimelech. The Lord appeared to Isaac and promised to bless him. But why? Isaac never invited this divine visitation.
The answer lies in the covenant. Because of the agreement God made with Abraham, every generation coming through that bloodline must be dealt with according to that covenant's terms. The spirit has legal right to visit based on the original agreement.
This is why understanding spiritual covenants matters—they create lasting consequences that ripple through generations, for better or worse.
The Bottom Line
Every spiritual choice creates a covenant—whether we realize it or not. Just as Abraham's agreement with God blessed Isaac and future generations, the spiritual decisions made by our ancestors continue to affect us today. The same legal principles that gave God the right to visit Isaac also give demonic spirits the right to torment families where harmful covenants were made.
The power to break negative patterns and establish positive ones lies in understanding this truth: spirits operate based on legal right, and covenants determine that right. Choose your spiritual agreements carefully—your children and grandchildren will inherit the consequences.
