"Unclean Spirits"

“Unclean spirits…”

Blessings folk:

Today’s reading:
Matthew 12:43-45
Luke 11:24-26

Unclean spirits are real.
They are demons.
They are angels that rebelled against God and sided with Lucifer.
They desire to kill, steal and destroy.

I know many do not believe that demons exist.
They would be wrong.
The scripture is clear.

In these verses we see what happens when an unclean spirit leaves a person.

The unclean spirit leaves...not of its own volition. It is either sent out by the power of God or by the power of the evil one.

The unclean spirit passes through waterless...desert, barren...places.
It is seeking rest.
It is seeking a place to reside.

The unclean spirit then thinks…”I will return to my house from which I came”.
It returns.
The “house” is unoccupied, swept, in order.

So, the unclean spirit brings seven other spirits more wicked than itself.
They live there.

The last state of the man becomes worse than the first.

We see that the “house” is a man.
He had been delivered from an unclean spirit, yet, he was still “unoccupied”.
There was not another unclean spirit in him.
There was not the Holy Spirit.

Therefore, his evil was multiplied.
This is how it is with the evil generation.

When we are swept clean by the Most High God He fills us with Himself, the Holy Spirit.

Be delivered of unclean spirits.
Be filled with the Holy Spirit.
Walk in the fullness thereof.
Seek the empowerment of the Spirit.
