14 Don’t team up with those who are unbelievers. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness? 15 What harmony can there be between Christ and the devil? How can a believer be a partner with an unbeliever?
–II Corinthians 6:14-15, NLT
As a spiritual care practitioner, I have odd interests. One of those interests has led me to listen to a podcast on exorcism, The Exorcist Files. I find it fascinating.
In recent episodes, they have tackled family curses where actions of a father or grandfather or great-great-grandfather has impact on descendants. These ancestors made packs with demons that then cursed their descendants. Once those permissions are cancelled, the descent is often freed of mysterious physical ailments. It is wild!
Such has gotten me to think about the spiritual dynamics involved in unions with Cheaters. Maybe what is playing out is the mixing of light and darkness? An unequal union?
We might have thought that we were marrying someone who was a Christian, yet we later discover that their god is not God.
Perhaps, their family line had made commitments to the demonic that are still playing out to the present? Who knows?
The divorce might be God’s mercy in freeing us from a relationship that is unhealthy for us spiritually. Certainly, this is true in the natural as cheating is abuse and therefore bad for us. But I wonder if demonic curses in family lines might also play a role.
This is mere speculation. But I wonder.
Sometimes, God frees us from situations where we only have a partial view of how bad it was or would be for us.
