We often think about our calling and assignment in terms of the ground we are to take, the people we are to reach and what we are to do… and that is all absolutely valid. There is a piece of the puzzle that we often miss, and it relates to resolving the unresolved issues - sins, false covenants and the like in our own bloodline. The ancient ruins and places long devastated for generations spoken of in Isaiah 61 is the brokenness in our own bloodlines that Jesus wants to undo and then redeem. The temptations we face are often served up to us to bring us into victory such that the generations that follow don’t have the same battles we did.
