I was reading an article earlier that was talking of sins/iniquities of the father and how the children have to pay for them unless they repent for their sins and the sins of those before them. it also said that even if you accept Christ that if you have demons in you before that they will just lay dormant until you do something that triggers them. I come from a family of all sorts of problems, my dads side has bad tempers and alcoholism, my grandmother also enjoyed men way to much, she had several boyfriends, one night stands and failed marriages. I don't know hardly anything of my grandfathers side because I have never met him. my moms side im not to sure off. my grandmother never really opened up. she did tell me one time that her grandmother killed a witch by drawing a circle on the ground and stabbing a knife in the middle, I remember my mom saying she had a Ouija board when she was a teen and how she kept it under her bed and it being on her bed when she woke up. my parents married when my mom was 5 months pregnant with my older brother, she was 18 my dad was 16. I don't remember much about them from when I was little because they were always gone. I remember my grandma tho. my older brother had something happen to him when I was to little to understand/remember, but he still remembers and I have heard it from him and my parents and grandma. he said he was playing in a room by himself and Jesus spanked him. my family told me he came running screaming and crying that Jesus whipped him and that he had welps on his bottom, but no one else was in the house. now I know Jesus wouldn't just come and whip kids bottoms, so it had to be the devil in disguise. I have had a few strange things happen too. I have also dealt with different forms of abuse. ranging from family, friends, past boyfriends and my ex husband. I did not grow up in a chrisitan family even tho my grandma went to church and my parents are now saved and baptized but do not live a Godly life. there is a lot of drugs, alcohol and what I think are undiagnosed mental illnesses as well all the diagnosed illnesses in my family.
I also see a lot on my husbands side of the family. his paternal grandfather committed suicide so did is moms biological mother (mil was raised by her aunt but didn't find out til later) his paternal grandmothers 2nd husband died of cancer, he recently lost his uncle to cancer too. my mils parents(the ones who raised her) where involved in some sort of occult stuff and there has been some weird happenings from that. I also recently found out that mils bio mom also bounced from man to man just like she does. there is also drugs and supposedly murder (mil's brother)
could this all be from a generational curse?
