In the Bible, Matthew chapter 12 says that when a demon goes out of someone, he finds no home, so he tries to come back. He finds that “house”, that person, clean and in order, but empty. Since that person is now empty, the demon goes and gets seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.

This is a true story. It is a story of mental and spiritual illness. And it can be true for any one of us.

Our hearts are spiritual containers. We cannot empty ourselves without something wanting to fill it. We cannot clean our house so to speak without needing to ensure that the bad is replaced with the good.

The Bible says you reap what you have sown. That means what grows is what you’ve planted there. What you spend time thinking about and meditating on, that will grow in your mind and heart. If you dwell on the bad things, then bad things will eventually overcome you.

You have a God-sized space within you that can only be filled by Him and Him alone. That’s how seven more demons, even worse than the first, could easily come into the person in the Matthew 12 story. There’s plenty of room for all kinds of evil within you, unless God is in there. God is the only thing big enough to fill your void.

Sex can’t do it, money can’t stop the craving, drugs can’t fill you up. It starts with a little, but then a little isn’t enough. It never stops until you change what you are filling your heart with. You search for things to make you alive and all you find is death.

If you feel empty and dead inside, sick from all of the things you thought would make you feel alive, then you need to get your house in order. Invite Jesus Christ into your heart.

Jesus Christ came to allow you freedom from your sins and your evil nature. He came to clean house. Through His death on the cross and His resurrection, you are allowed life everlasting and abundant. That’s what you’ve been looking for all this time. Life, real life, and the fullness of it.

No demon can stand in His presence and no devil will be able to hold onto you once Jesus is there. God is the only thing standing between you and a soul of darkness. You’ve got to let in the light! Accept Jesus Christ and his payment for your sins on the cross. Let Jesus into your heart and watch your entire life turn around for good!

God’s blessings to you.
