A similar question was asked in September of 2020 which said, “What is a spiritual spouse? And what is the marine kingdom?” You can look this question up in our “Search Box” on our website (www.answersfromthebook.net) to see my whole answer, but here are two excerpts from that answer.

“I must confess I was confused by your two questions, for I had never heard of a ‘marine kingdom’ and I wondered what connection there could be between a ‘godly spouse’ (which is what I thought of when you referred to a ‘spiritual spouse’) and a ‘marine kingdom.” Yet after doing some research I discovered that a ‘marine kingdom’ has to do with demon spirits who supposedly LIVE IN WATER and who seek to have sexual relationships with men and women to make them their SPIRITUAL SPOUSE. Does this sound weird to you? It should, for this teaching has no scriptural support; it is extra-biblical and has its roots in ancient folklore. There are professing Christians who take this teaching seriously, especially those of the ‘Charismatic Movement.’ They believe that marine spirits can literally take over the bodies and souls of people and thus they have developed “deliverance ministries” in order to identify those who are possessed with a demon spirit and they will then seek to exorcise the spirits from them….I must stress that most of the beliefs about marine spirits come from ancient cultures such as Greek mythology where an emphasis is laid upon sexual unions between spirit beings and humans…I would encourage fellow-believers to avoid being taken up with the study of demons, our focus should be on Christ and not on demons” (end of Quote).

I could add that this teaching is also found in Shamanism and other cultic practices. The Old Testament condemns spiritism and witchcraft in many passages (see Leviticus 20:6, 27; 2nd Chronicles 33:6) and Israel was warned to beware of having anything to do with these evil practices. Levitus 19:31 says, “Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be DEFILED by them. I am the LORD your God.” This teaches us that one could be defiled by associating with them, even though they themselves may not actually become a medium or spiritist. We know that “witchcraft” is still prevalent today for it is listed as one of the “works of the flesh” in Galatians 5:20, but to be occupied with demons and witchcraft will also lead to us being DEFILED. It is enough to know that evil spirits are among us without having to become obsessed with them. As I said above, our FOCUS should be on Christ. This is borne out clearly in Colossians 1:13-18 and 3:1-2, “He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all there were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and FOR HIM. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that IN ALL THINGS HE MAY HAVE THE PREEMINANCE…If then you were raised with Christ, SEEK THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE ABOVE, WHERE CHRIST IS, sitting at the right hand of God. SET YOUR MIND ON THINGS ABOVE, not on things on the earth.”  (DO)  (604.5)
