they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. And

Peter remembering said to Him “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which
you cursed has withered away” [Mark 11:12-14, 20 -21]

are born in a lineage that is marked by un-repented sin.

“Our fathers have sinned and are no more, and we have borne
their iniquities” (Lamentations 5:7) [AMP]

The areas that are affected will occasionally be marked with
unprecedented struggle and it becomes almost impossible to
experience freedom. If for example, the curse is affecting your
finances, you will struggle in that area despite all possible human
effort to succeed financially.
