According to the Word of God when we are born again we become a new person with certain scriptural traits. Knowing who we are in Christ is the basis for Spiritual warfare. The following list expresses true statements about who you are in Christ NOW. They are written in first person to emphasize the point that these traits are currently yours.
Because you are alive in Christ, every one of these characteristics is completely true of you, and there is nothing you can do to make them more true. However, you can make them more meaningful and productive in your life by believing what God has said about you. It won't be prideful if you do. God has chosen to say these things about you and arrange for you to be born again into this new state. You can help yourself grow into maturity in Christ by continually reminding yourself who you are in Him. Read this list aloud. Read it often. Read it when you think Satan is trying to deceive you into believing you are a worthless failure.

We share in Christ's inheritance. According to Romans 8:16,17: "The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ." Every believer is identified with Christ in the following and other ways:
1. In His Death (Romans 6:3,6; Galations 2:20; Colossians 3:1-3)

In the realm of spiritual warfare against demonic spirits - one of the ways that demons can enter into a person's life is through a generational curse line. A curse line can be formed out between a parent and a child if that parent has engaged and crossed over into any type of heavier transgression against the Lord. The Bible tells us that the sins of the father can be "visited" down the blood line of 3 or 4 generations of future children. The Bible tells us that the wages of sin will always be death. As a result of a sinning parents severe transgressions against the Lord - sometimes demons will be allowed to attach to the sinning parent - and then they will attempt to jump and transfer onto some of the children to form out this curse line. |
