So…my question is do you think that a particular demon stays with a family? Perhaps its the demon of homo sexuality, or infidelity, or addiction, or abuse?

I find it intriguing that if you look at a family from the outside many times you will see the same sin repeated. Think of it. You commit such and such sin, your dad did, Uncle Joe did, grandpa did and so on and so forth.

Could it be more than “genetics” feeding the fire and that families have a particular demonic presence that knows and preys on that weakness. So much of Satan destroying the church comes from within. If he can convince and deceive and destroy a family, he’s won a great battle in disseminating the church.
 
Interesting thought.

According to family tradition, on my dad’s mother’s side, the firstborn child was always strangely mean and abusive, while the rest of the children seemed normal. My parents were so worried that I was going to be the “mean one,” but there was a miscarriage before I came along, so it has been suggested that maybe that one was the “mean one.” 🤷

It’s possible.

There are more factors that simple genetics going on here. As a Child and Family Therapist, this question has interested me, also. When I was studying we had to do a geneogram. We traces the history of mental illness in our own family tree. This was enlightening. Some of the processes that can lead to sin like depression, manic depression or alcoholism can be inherited. The more scientists are looking at the brain development in children, they are finding that the human brain develops different ways depending on the security of the environment. Children raised in abusive families grow their brains differently than those in healthy non-abusive homes. The fight/flight part of the brain over-grows leading to problems with attention and over aggressive behaviors. More studies need to be done with children exposed to sexual material, but in my limited experience, children exposed to pornography or sexual acts are really messed up when it comes to understanding health sexuality. This doesn’t mean that later development and choices can’t fix things, but it puts children at a disadvantage. This may be why pedophilia runs in families. Does the devil have a hand in this? Directly or indirectly he does. To break the cycle, a person needs to make choices that lead to healing in mind, body, and soul. Let us pray for those who have not had the advantages that some of us have had in our family situations.
 
I have never heard of a demon staying through the generations with a particular family, and I have read a great deal in this area. I expect that no poster here will be able to come up with a verifiable example of a particular demon staying with a particular family. This is different from children gaining bad behavior through bad family influence, which seems possible. If you want to know the ways of demons, I recommend the book “An Exorcist Tells His Story,” by Father Gabrielle Amorth, official exorcist of the diocese of Rome, Italy.
 
Interesting feedback all of you
mgdspencer- I will definitely look into that book! Sounds like something I would enjoy reading.
Thank you

The Borgia family, of which Pope Alexander VI was part, was pretty nasty until the coming of St. Francis Borgia, who has been called “The White Sheep of the Borgia Family!”🤷
 
MGDSPENCER- Just for fun…look at the connection with Amon Ra Egyptian God and watch him filter down through history. Including our Catholic history. There is also a strong connection with salt… the dead sea, Lots wife looking back, Salt Lake in Utah. You can PM me for more specifics of what the “heck” I’m referring to
 
I find your thought very interesting and looking at my own family and other people’s families that i know, i believe it is very possible. I’m gonna do some research on this.
 
Generational demonization (or curses) are not passed on to succeeding generations in a manner like biological genetics. Rather the sins of ancestors may have placed a family line on the devil’s radar. This means the devil is particularly watching this family more than the average family for opportunities to attack.

If there are no opportunities presented by a particular generation of the family, or by a particular member of the family, then the devil does not have an entry point. This is why the harassment or curse can seem to skip generations or effect some members of the family and not others.

Please do not misunderstand, having the devil keep a special watch on a family is a serious thing. With such scrupulous observation the devil will find any vulnerability that may be present.

While the exorcism in the Baptismal Rite removes at that moment any demonic attachments to the individual, and confession and Eucharist help to maintain freedom from demonic attachment, those things do not guarantee it. If that were the case then St. Paul would not have warned us to always be on guard for the devil’s schemes. We must always be on guard every moment of our life

2 Cor 2:11; Eph 6:11

a chink in the armor comes to mind here…

once one has a chink in their armor it allows/gives Satan a weak point to enter. Maybe if Dad/uncle/grandpa has porn and a son gets a hold of a dvd as a 14yo…it puts a chink in his chastity armor…no matter what he learns from here on about chastity, there is a chink in his armor that Satan knows about. And that SOB (Satan) will exploit that chink for all it’s worth.
 
On both sides of my family there have been the same things happening over and over again through generations. It really scares me and I wonder if I am the one to break this, with God’s help. I have often wondered about it: to what extent is the Devil playing with us, and how much is it just plain, old sin and human weakness that need no help to flourish and destroy people.
 
The HolyTrinity and H(name removed by moderator)forlife~ I couldn’t have said it better myself. I believe our naive human curiosity for things that we cannot comprehend ie; ouija boards, tarot cards, palm readers, even porn on the computer or adult chat rooms to “just see”, is like a beacon of light in the darkness summoning demons to our door.

Our minds are like a computer however there is no system clean slate. Whatever you put in there knowingly or unknowingly can’t be unlearned.

The reason for the question was just observation that families will have the same “demon” of alcoholism and abuse throughout the line but won’t have say infidelity. Another family will experience just the opposite. I just see a pattern I want to decipher. But as I said… I’m not willing to research too much for fear of bringing on a full blown attack with my curiosity.

I remember stories growing up of religious men called to vocation sitting down with the satanic bible and the holy bible and trying to decipher something or another or learn about the enemy…I have no idea. I remember that their hearts were turned away from God and into the occult. It may have just been stories my parents shared to keep my curiosity ta bay!
 
Yes.

Cure:

Healing the Family Tree

Heavenly Father, I come before you as your child, in great need of your help; I have physical health needs, emotional needs, spiritual needs and interpersonal needs. Many of my problems have been caused by my own failures, neglect and sinfulness, for which I humbly beg your forgiveness, Lord. But I also ask you to forgive the sins of my ancestors whose failures have left their effects on me in the form of unwanted tendencies, behavior patterns, and defects in body, mind and spirit. Heal me, Lord, of all these disorders.
With your help I sincerely forgive everyone, living or dead members of my family tree, who have directly offended me or my loved ones in any way, or those whose sins have resulted in our present sufferings and disorders. In the name of your divine Son Jesus, and in the power of his Holy Spirit, I ask you Father, to deliver me and my entire family tree from the influence of the evil one.
Free all living and dead members of my family tree, including those in adoptive relationships, and those in extended family relationships, from every contaminating form of bondage. By your loving concern for us, heavenly Father, and by the shed blood of your precious Son Jesus, I beg you to extend your blessing to me and all my living and deceased relatives. Heal every negative effect transmitted through all past generations, and prevent such negative effects in future generations of my family tree.
I symbolically place the cross of Jesus over the head of each person in my family tree, and between each generation; I ask you to let the cleansing blood of Jesus purify the bloodlines in my family lineage. Send protective angels to encamp around us and administer your divine healing power to all of us, even in areas of genetic disability. Give special power to our family members’ guardian angels to heal, protect, guide and encourage each of us in all our needs. Let your healing power be released at this very moment, and let it continue as long as your sovereignty permits.

In our family tree, Lord, replace all bondage with a holy bonding of family love. And let there be an ever-deeper bonding with you, Lord, by the Holy Spirit, to your Son Jesus. Let the family of the Holy Trinity pervade our family with its tender, warm, loving presence, so that our family may recognize and manifest that love in all our relationships. All of our unknown needs we include with this petition that we pray in Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
 
It seems too that there are also family trees that are blessed. Not that everything is ok with everyone, but there is support from family members for the ones having trouble and because of this support the troubled member can function in life. And without this support, they in all probability would be dysfuntional in part.

And just as a family may be blessed with unity and support, another family may be cursed with disunity, which then agravates the ones who have problems functioning normally. So then it may seem as tho this family has a bad line. For example, the devil may promote hatred, unforgiveness, anger, … in the family.

Another element that gets mixed in with this is that there is a common thought that what affects the parents badly, will then be taught to the children and this cycle is repeated in the next generation. A wife beating father teaches his son the wrong concept of what a husband should be.

It has also been noted that illnesses are particularly targeted by the devil in that he uses these to further his own ends in that person. And so in some people it is difficult to separate the illness from possession by the devil or great influence by the devil. And it has been shown that both illness and possession is sometimes simultaneous and difficult to seperate. Tests don’t always show this up.

Now if a family line has a certain genetic illness, especially if it is in mental health, then it could seem as tho a particular family line is cursed, since the devil would use the illness as his tool of torture in this afflicted family.

So the generational family line being affected holds a possible mixture of reasons. More that what I have breifly brought up.
 
the bible talks about the sins of the father being revisited in the sons unto the 7th generation I believe it my mothers side of the family had a spirit of witch craft and divination that literally has went through all the females of the family including myself until it was cast out recently when I was given deliverance. Also some sins like alcholism, sexual sins, and what not can be passed through the tree its not popular idea but its possible
