I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.”

1st samuel

Bible said they were so wicked.

Your kids can be in the church and yet not know God.

MALDICIONES Y BENDICIONES GENERACIONALES

Many times we think simply taking our kids to church is good enough, we think giving them a better life than you had is good enough.

but there are still roots in your life that you have to be set free from.

We are focused more on the blessings of God and serve God more of being a benefit.

Many of people this time are sacrificing the future generations for peace and prosperity in their time.

we are more concerned with our self, and wants and desires and gains, and we say we are blessed in the U.S.

But sometimes prosperity is a subduction to get you away from the things of God because we get the job that pays more so we buy more things that take us away from God and what he has called us to do, so sometimes it is not the blessings of God but sometimes the blessings of the enemy.

GOOD?

The bible said that elkanah would go to the temple year after year, in this envoriment Elkanah a

“God possessed man” Goes to the temple.

1- consistence - That is something as parents that we lack.

There was problems in the world, church, and even at home.

Bible says that Peninnah provoked Hannah because she was barren, and wanted to give birth.

(problems)

There was disputes at home and confrontations

bible says

Year after year this man went up from his town to worship and sacrifice to the Lord Almighty at Shiloh, where Hophni and Phinehas, the two sons of Eli, were priests of the Lord.

1st samuel 1:3-

*With all the problems going on Elkanah said we are still going to the temple despite all things me and my house shall serve the lord.

Hannah had to understand that there are things that only God has repair.

Now Hannah gets possessed and goes to the temple and cries out to God for the first time.

The key to the story was there was a man who was possessed and it transferd to his wife.

God answered her cry and gives her child.

Hannah takes Samuel to the temple to show him where she was changes.

Now Samuel was possessed and becomes the next prophet and was the one who anointed king David.

YOU CAN TURN THE CURSES INTO BLESSINGS THAT ARE PASSED DOWN

matthew 1:

“YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN, WHO WERE MEANT TO SERVE ME ARE BOWING DOWN AT THE ALTAR IN AN IMAGE OF WHAT SOCIAL MEDIA AND SOCIETY TELLS THEM WHAT THEY SHOULD BE”
