"I AM BREAKING FAMILY YOKES!" SAYS THE LORD

Recently in a dream, the Lord took me into a hoarder's home filled with piles of boxes, old belongings, and rubbish that were stacked in this home and filling this home to the point that I could barely walk through it. And then I heard the Lord speak and He said, “Prophesy to the home, prophesy to the four corners of the home.” Exactly like it speaks about an Ezekiel 37:4-5

"Then he said to me, 'Prophesy to these bones and say to them, "Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life."'"

So I began to prophesy and speak to the home. I began to speak God's heart and intentions over every room of the house, and suddenly a torrential wind entered and started helping, it came through the house lifting up every box, trash, and piece of clutter and blowing it out of the house. Then the Lord said “ I'm sweeping out the home. I'm cleaning it out, and I'm going to shut the doors on the enemy where he has had rule and reign because doors have been opened and families have been left vulnerable and wide open to the attack of the enemy.” And I heard Him say, “This is an hour that I'm coming to heal and repair generations upon generations of damage. And I'm restoring families back to their original design that I intended for them," says the Lord.

"For many years addiction and dysfunction have been the legacy of families but this will be a season that I turn the enemy's agenda on its head, and I begin to shift families into powerful kingdom legacy instead of the addiction and dysfunction and endless cycles. These families will suddenly step into blessing, into favor, and into health. In a moment I'm coming to sweep out the issues and the constant sickness that has been pervading marriages and families for generations. And I'm coming to establish My Kingdom in homes where there's been open reign for the enemy to come and plant cancerous weeds."

PULLING OUT THE WEEDS "Yes, I am pulling out the weeds that have been planted and have been growing in the dark where the light has not been allowed to shine. The unspoken conversations where sickness has been allowed to fester and grow for years, and I am shining My light upon them so that the weeds can be pulled out once and for all!"

THE BOX OF LOST & FOUND And so as I looked out, I saw this home that was swept out and the doors were flinging wide open as the wind of heaven was blowing through this home. I looked over in the corner of this home and I saw a small box. As I came over to it, I noticed it said lost and found. And as I opened this box, I saw what was inside. There were scrolls and deeds and there were family crests that had family names written on them. And inside there were homes. Inside there were promises of prodigals coming home, finances restored, and promises of a full bill of health. And I knew that this box was the redemption of the war on families. It was the place of restoration where things had been lost and stolen.

This box represented the Lord's plan to turn every assignment of the enemy on its head and flip the script for families who have faced endless warfare and robbery for generations. And in its place, He was giving the deeds to clean bill of health in every way. So many families have had endless sicknesses coming against their families, family illnesses running in their family line for generations. I saw where there'd been addictions and there'd been perversions and there'd been many sins that had been handed down from father to son and from mother to daughter for many generations, yet in a moment it was completely severed. And God was restoring health and wholeness.

I saw where there'd been a poverty spirit over family generations for many generations and God was healing it. And I saw prodigals that were coming home. I saw husbands that were returning back to the Lord. I saw that this box represented the season we're entering into of the restoration of the family of God. You see, the enemy has targeted the family. He's brought his battle more than ever before in the last 20 years to the family living room. He placed this war in the living room for a purpose because he wanted to destroy families from the inside out—he wanted to crumble families from the inside out. But the Lord says, “In this hour, I am putting a mantle upon My Church to be restorers of the breach and they will expel the enemy. They will throw him out, they will cast him out into the darkness and they will build up the foundations that for many generations have torn down!” says the Lord. And that is what He's doing.

"And it shall come to pass in that day, declares the Lord of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and I will burst your bonds, and foreigners shall no more make a servant of him." (Jeremiah 30:8)

And as I'm writing this, I hear the Lord saying that there is deliverance coming upon you. There is freedom coming upon you where your family has been in torment for many generations. The Lord says, "In this hour, I'm taking the reproach of many generations off your shoulders, you're going to feel a yolk break off you that has been on your shoulders for many, many generations," says the Lord. "I am breaking the heavy yokes that have been around your neck and you will no longer identify with them!"

"They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations." (Isaiah 61:4)

BREAKING OFF JEZEBEL'S SLAVERY I even see many different spirits that have followed families for generations, that have gone from father to son, and they are being broken. In this hour I see where the Jezebel spirit has been jumping from family member to family member down the generational line, and this has been taking place for many generations. And narcissism has been following. And I hear the Lord saying, "I am breaking the yoke that has been slaving My people." And the Lord said, "In this hour, I declare let My people go—they are being set free in Jesus' name. They will no longer tolerate her or appease her. They will no longer let her into their marriages and relationships!

"And in this hour I am breaking off all access to Jezebel's minions that have plagued your home with UNREST and CHAOS! Familiar spirits are being shut off from their access. Surveilling and monitoring spirits are having their access removed so they can no longer see into your homes and marriages. Witchcraft and control are being severed and the roots and all connection points are being disconnected so that My FREEDOM would be able to break out in homes.

"For it's a time to fortify the homes and turn dens of brokenness into places of My glory!"

RAISING A STANDARD OVER HOMES I feel the Spirit of the Lord saying that "I am raising up a standard right now over families."

"When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.” (Isaiah 59:19)

 I see the walls of the Red Sea receding—I see the families crossing through on the dry ground. I see the places where it felt like there are obstacles on every side. Where many have even asked, "How can this marriage pass through this obstacle? How can my children find Jesus in the midst of the cultural wars? How can my child find their God-given identity again in such a time of gender confusion?"

The Lord says, "I have promised you that your children and your families will cross through on the dry ground. This is a time in an hour that I'm leading the family of God out of Egypt. I'm leading those who've been through dysfunction through many, many, many generations of warfare and demonic attack—I'm leading them out." says the Lord. "This is the hour that I'm raising up the former devastations of the family."

And even right now, I prophesy over you. I take authority over every single assignment and principality that's been sent to disassemble and dismantle your family for many generations, it shall be broken. Every vow, every agreement that was made by your forefathers, by your family from many generations ago, we right now immerse them under the blood of Jesus and we make a better covenant right now. And Lord, we just ask for a new bloodline to be set over those reading this right now, that You would set a new bloodline in Jesus' mighty name.

Yes, the Lord says He is setting a new bloodline from this day forward and you will no longer identify from where you have come. "You will honor and respect your family line but will step into MY bloodline from this day forward! It is a new day and everything that is behind you is immersed under the blood of Jesus!”

"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." (1 Peter 2:9)

Maybe you have been wrestling with addiction. Maybe you are wrestling with infidelity. Maybe you're wrestling with a broken marriage. Maybe you're wrestling with the grief of prodigal sons and daughters. Maybe you're wrestling with being isolated and alienated. Maybe you're wrestling with not finding who God's called you to run with—your partner, and your soulmate—whatever it is and in whatever way the enemy has warred against you, today, the Lord wants to set you free.

I believe today there is an anointing on this to break bondages, especially for those who've grown up in narcissistic households and for many generations have experienced narcissism and have even seen the fruit and patterns in their own life. The Lord is breaking that Jezebel spirit that's been trying to put itself on you and wanting you to identify with it. Today, it breaks!

And the Lord says to you today that you are pure. The Lord says to you today that you are holy. The Lord says to you today that you no longer have to identify with the sins of your forefathers in Jesus' mighty name.
