The unclean spirit wants to take over the life of man

"When the unclean spirit departeth from man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding him not, saith, I will return to my house, where I went forth, Luke 11:24. The unclean spirit wants to take over the life of man.

"And having returned, finds it swept and ornamented. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits, worse than he, and they go in and dwell there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first, "Luke 11: 25-26.

We live in a world filled with evil spirits, which are actually three kinds of world. The physical world, which is what we can see everything, but there is also the spiritual world, the world where we can not see and the third world is what we imagine inside our minds. Every human being is surrounded by these three worlds. We can not see the spiritual world because we are carnal and involved with the things of the world and not with the things of God. For example, if we were more spiritual and the Lord opened our eyes, we saw around us an army of angels that He commanded to protect us. Sometimes we waste a lot of time on the internet, soap operas, gossip, and we end up giving priorities to worldly things rather than involvement with the things of God. If the Lord opened our eyes, we would see that what we need is already with us a long time ago. We can not be involved with the things of this world, we must be connected with the Lord all the time, because our struggle is not with people but with evil spirits who try us every day. "For our struggle is not against blood and flesh, but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of this dark world, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places," Ephesians 6:12. The enemy wants to try to touch him, but he who walks in the right way, does what the Word says, the enemy does not touch. You may be the least you can, but the enemy will not. "We know that everyone who is born of God does not live in sin; but he that is born of God keepeth him, and the wicked one toucheth him not "(1 John 5:18). Who has to occupy his mind, his life, is not earthly things but our Lord Jesus Christ. May the Father bless you!
