An Unclean Spirit Returns

__________________________________________

Matthew 12:43-45

43 “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. 44 Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. 45 Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.”

You guys remember when we had a long super after cellgroup and we shared about ghost stories? And between that Kee Wee mentioned that when on evil spirit leaves, it'll bring back 7 evil spirit?

Here's the verse that he was talking about. But it is not as scary as it sounds. Basically when someone is delivered from an evil spirit, the evil spirit will have to find another place to dwell in, most likely looking for humans. "Dry Places" it meant there was people who are spiritually dry or empty, meaning without Jesus Christ and God in their life.

And when the same evil spirit can't find anyone else to dwell in, it will go back to the first person where he was first casted out from. "he finds it empty, swept, and put it in order" That means if the evil spirit finds that the previous person is still the same as before (without Christ in life), no changes, no protection and everything is in order. Then the evil spirit will bring in seven more evil spirit who is far worst to corrupt back the person.

So basically if someone is delivered from an evil spirit and do not go back to Christ, keep him/herself clean, or avoid committing sin. The person will not grow better but get corrupted and trapped into sin.

So be aware and careful of what you do even after you're being delivered from sin/evil spirit/traps.

God bless you w22
