Bobby E Mills, PhD America is spiritually losing generation after generation, because we have forgotten that: “Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.” (Psalm 90:1). In the Black community we are experiencing generational curses without spiritually understanding that God will never break faith with us, even though we sin against His Commandments and ourselves. Thus, there are many curses, but the number one curse in the Black community is family disintegration. Seventy-five percent of all families in the Black community are without a male father figure. Family spiritual brokenness is the overriding problem in the Black community.

This is the crux of generational self-annihilation. There is simply too much ungodly disintegration taking place in Black families. Mental health and eating habits have become serious generational curses. Health is wealth, and individuals dietarily are what they eat. Gluttony and obesity are sin personified. Lest we forget, Black on Black crime is absolutely ungodly. Likewise, whole-some family mental health is mostly environmental, and contributes to family disintegration, because life apart from God is insanity. America is losing generation after generation, because of our immorality and spiritual disobedience against the will of God. Too many Americans have broken faith with God, themselves, as well […]
