The Bible says that God visits the iniquity of the parents onto the children to the third and fourth generation (Exod. 20:5). For this reason, there will be spiritual bondage inherited by people that is tied to their bloodlines. The biggest challenge to this reality comes from a misguided teaching about the finished work of Jesus Christ. This misguided teaching suggests that the blood of Jesus breaks off all iniquity and spiritual bondage at the moment of salvation. <...> In fact, this is a huge source of conflict for many believers who are financially bound, emotionally conflicted, struggling to make progress, repeatedly falling into addiction, struggling to break sin cycles, and failing to walk out their heavenly scrolls in Christ Jesus. This template will help to streamline bloodline repentance work. While certain types of iniquity will require more extensive work (hence, many of the other prayers in the Prayers that Shake Heaven and Earth volumes), this simple template will help to get the process started. The concept is that as a member of your bloodline, you are standing in the gap and repenting for the sins, transgressions, and iniquity committed by those that have gone before you.
<...>
In the name of Jesus, I now bind in chains and fetters of iron and golden bands every evil spirit operating in and around me and my family because of what I have renounced. I call them pierced through and thrust out for judgment to wherever the true King Jesus sends them, now! I speak that any evil spirits attempting to linger or resist removal are now brutally assaulted with the sword of the Lord, arrows, the hot thunderbolt of God, hailstones, tsunamis of living water, engines of war, trampling by the warhorses of heaven, instruments of death, and the all-consuming fire of God until they relinquish their positions.

I thank you, Lord God, that your river of living water flows through my bloodline to cleanse all residues of what I have renounced. In Jesus’s name I pray. Amen.
