Pastor Huch of Larry Huch Ministries teaches that many of us are locked into patterns of sinful behavior because of generational curses. But because Jesus paid the full price for your freedom, your family's tainted past doesn't have to pull you down.
Born in St. Louis, MO, Pastor Huch experienced from an early age the pressure and pain of inner city life. Generations of anger, violence and addiction caught him in their vicious cycles. Anger and violence had plagued his family for generations.
The pain and despair of his life were overwhelming forces and by the time he was 9 years old, Larry had put his childhood behind him and became a street smart, dangerous, young man.
Larry won a football scholarship to college and left his old neighborhood behind. As an athlete in college, his fearless and aggressive playing made him a star at football. It finally seemed that his life was taking a turn for the better.
He should have felt fulfilled but he didn't, he began to feel empty inside and started to experiment with drugs. Soon the drug life was consuming him full time.
Larry Huch eventually began selling drugs in order to finance his personal habit.
That decision rapidly propelled him into the secret and volatile world of drug lords that few people have experienced first hand. He finally ended up living in Medelin, Colombia where he was buying & selling drugs full time.
One day, while Larry Huch was alone in his house,
he accidentally overdosed on cocaine and was too intoxicated to realize what he had done.
As his body began to shut down and die, Larry began to lose consciousness, yet he was acutely aware of three things: (1) he was dying, (2) he didn't want to die and (3) somewhere there was a God who could help him.
Today, Pastor Huch of Larry Huch Ministries recalls this experience saying, "Before my overdose, I would have thought I was an atheist.
But as I lay dying, I just couldn't help calling out to God from the depths of my soul and I said, "God, please don't let me die without finding happiness."
In that moment, I just knew I would live,
and that I had been saved by the grace of this unknown God."
Although Larry knew for certain that God had delivered him from death, he knew nothing about God. He started trying to find God through taking various drugs and through all sorts of exotic religions, but only a true relationship with God his Father had eluded him.
He moved to a farm in a rural area of Missouri and searched for an authentic experience with God, and finally settled in Flagstaff, Arizona.
A friend invited Larry to visit his church and he showed up searching for the power of God. He was a barefoot, bearded man with waist-length dirty hair, who wore long feather earrings, very gaunt looking, with only a poncho over his bare chest and needle tracks visibly up and down his arms.
The beginning of Larry Huch Ministries was when Larry Huch heard the testimony of Jesus, something began to move in him. For the first time he knew he was hearing the truth about God.
His heart was suddenly filled with the knowledge
that Jesus was the Messiah, the Son of the Living God who had saved his life in South America.
When the Pastor invited people to know Jesus as their Savior, Larry found himself kneeling at the altar, although he didn't even realize he had gone forward!
As Larry prayed for the first time to God, a tremendous weight rolled off him. He felt years of depravity and loneliness drop away.
Later that day, Larry realized that he no longer had a desire to use drugs. He said, "I felt so profoundly happy and so complete. I was truly high on Jesus and I realized that I no longer needed or wanted drugs."
Larry Huch waited and waited for the cravings to come back, but they never did. He had been completely and totally set free.
That was over 29 years ago, and today,
Pastor Huch of Larry Huch Ministries says, "Drug addicts go through treatment to get clean and they are taught to think of themselves as recovering addicts.
I am not a "recovering addict." "I am an ex-addict." By the power of God, I became a new person, completely set free from drugs."
Larry Huch committed his life to the Lord's service and soon became the Pastor and founder of Larry Huch Ministries.
He was now married and was starting a family and while he had now won the respect of many, he was losing respect for himself because of a dark and depressing secret that he never shared.
Even though God had delivered Larry
completely from drug addiction, he had not been delivered from the uncontrollable outbursts of anger that had plagued his life.
At Larry Huch Ministries Pastor Huch stated that he had tried everything he knew, but he could do nothing to put these terrible moments of rage behind him.
These outbursts would come upon him unexpectedly and when they did he said and did terrible things to his wife and even terrified his children.
After violent episodes, he would apologize in tears and beg his wife to forgive him. Though he would promise to never lose his temper again, sooner or later his control would slip again.
During one extreme outburst he understood that he had become just like the generations before him, angry and violent. Though he had vowed never to do those things, he had become the very thing that he most hated.
In a moment of revelation Larry Huch knew that he was confronting a generational pattern, acting out his anger just as generations of his family had done before him.
He went to the Bible and began a study
of generational curses that not only changed his life, but has set free countless people around the world!
Larry's testimony of coming from a life of drug addiction, crime, and violence is only part of the impact of his ministry.
His personal experience of how he became free at last from a family history of anger is a powerful illustration of his teaching on how the iniquities of the fathers pass from generation to generation.
Countless people are being set free and staying free because of his life-changing message on breaking family curses and defeating anger through Larry Huch Ministries.
Derek Prince prayed a prophetic blessing and anointing of God over Larrys life.
His word over Pastor Larry Huch was that he would be the “arrow shot from the bow of God’s hand. And I will shoot you into the nations and the continents of the world, and you will destroy the enemy that has been destroying My people.
