  Speaker 1: Good morning, good morning, good morning.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: It it's time for us to go to God in prayer,
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: and as always we ask that you join along with us.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Have you noticed sometimes in your family a pattern, if
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: you will, a pattern where maybe a bunch of people
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: have children out of wetlock, a pattern of divorce, a
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: pattern of a certain sickness or disease. And some people
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: don't like to use the word generational curses. You've got
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: to decide in your family that the curse stops with you,
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: that you're not gonna allow the generational curses of your
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: past to pass down to your children or your children's children.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Does that mean temptation won't come No. Absolutely, It's gonna
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: come after you like nobody's business. It's gonna come after
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: you to cheat, it's gonna come after you to divorce.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: It's gonna come after you to eat the wrong things,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: to not exercise, or whatever pattern has formed to cause
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: these things.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: We got to pray, but we've also got to do
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: the things in the.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Natural to make sure that we protect ourselves, that we protect.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Our children and our children's children.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Thereafter, I think about the story that was told about
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: this lady that was making a turkey. She cut the
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: legs of the turkey off, and they said, well, why
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: do you cut the legs of the turkey off?
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: She said, I don't know, because my mother cut them off.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: She called him mom and said, Mama, why do we
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: cut the legs off the turkey?
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: She said, I don't know because my mama cut it off.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: So then she called her mother and she said, Mama, wife,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: do we cut the legs off the turkey?
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: And she said, oh, child, because my pant was too small.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Sometimes we repeat behavior because it was always done in
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: the past doesn't mean that it was right. It was
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: probably in that moment necessary, or they were doing the
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: best that they could.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: You can make a different decision.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Today, Father, God, in the name of Jesus Christ, we
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: come before you, God, with our turkeys, with our pants. God,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: help us God to not repeat behavior because it was
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: simply what everybody else did before us.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: We come to you and ask God for wisdom.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Give us wisdom, and the decisions that we make, give
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: us wisdom, and the actions that we take, give us wisdom,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: and even how to.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Rear and raise our children.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: So often in marriage is families are fighting because my
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: mama did it this way, and my daddy did it
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: that way. But you, as a family can create a
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: new way for your household. I thank you, Lord, God
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: that generational blessings will be released, generational blessings of health
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: and wealth and well being. Help us, God to model
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: behavior that will be good examples for our children and
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: our future generations. We want our families to be blessed,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: and we know that it can start with us. We
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: don't have to live paycheck to paycheck. We don't have
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: to live beneath our privileges. Because you said where the
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: head are, not the tail, we're above only we're number
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: beneath you said in your worth, and we're the lender
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: and not the borrower. So Father, we come and we
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: lift our lives to you. Lord, show us some ways
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: that we should change or maybe make a pivot in
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: our lives so that it can positively affect our families.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: In Jesus' name, Amen,
