Removing the Curse of Divorce and Adultery

I do not wish to be an alarmist and be like the proverbial person who sees a demon behind every tree.  But, as every choice has its consequences, as every action has its reaction, as we reap what we sow, as the law of cause and effect remains, we need to beware that we are affected not only by the consequences of our sins, but also by the effects of the sins of those around us and in our ancestral line. Many speak of this as a generational curse or the sins or iniquities of a parent being visited on the third and fourth generation.

Although this curse of adultery and divorce has a spiritual element, it is not rooted in superstition. Much of this curse is purely natural and not difficult to understand at all. It is rooted in strongholds of the mind -- our thoughts, attitudes, practices that endanger and undermine the success of a marriage. We can see this evidenced in the increased likelihood of divorce and adultery in children of parents who have failed to honor their wedding vows.  We see generational curses carried down in alcoholism, gambling, drug use, abuse, and other areas as well.

Not only do people become addicted to things like drugs and alcohol, but people often form co-dependencies or addictions to people who have addictions. So, a child of a alcoholic may hate alcoholism, but he or she may marry and divorce one alcoholic after another.  People form comfort zones that include living with an alcoholic or abuser or gambler or unfaithful partner.  They become accustomed to a lifestyle that includes covering for them.  And, strangely, codependent people often unknowingly protect and enable the other person’s addiction or weakness just to avoid going into a new phase of life that is unknown and uncomfortable.

The spiritual side of this is that the addiction to another person’s addiction, the codependency, can become a stronghold for the devil and his servants to use against us, and then the sin, being supported, defended, and fought for spreads through the family, through society, then through a city, a county, a state, a nation, then the world leaving destruction in its wake.
