Welcome to the marriage today podcast and we're talking today about freedom from your past.

I'm Jimmy Evans. This is my wife Karen.

Here's great to have you here.

Thank you. I'm excited about this.

Well, we're going to talk about the issue of iniquities.

This is what I'm going to be teaching on here in just a minute.

But an iniquity means a tendency toward a sin

because of the sins of your parents.

Deuteronomy, God says, I'm going to visit

the inequities of the fathers.

And it means mothers and fathers parents

upon the children to the third and fourth

generation and this is what we find and so when you and I got married we both had

inequities from our families okay and so in my case one of the biggest iniquities I had was

chauvinism. I grew up in a family where the men were dominant. All the men were

dominant. And so that's what I tried to do to you is to dominate you.

But it wasn't just a sin that was in me, it was a sin that was taught to me.

And that's what an iniquity means.

The word iniquity means to bend or twist,

and it literally just means a bend. And so, you know, people listening to this right now,

or watching this right now, you can see in your own life tendencies negativity prejudice racism sexism

Pride we can all sin on our own without our parents, but iniquities are a stronger type of sin.
