43 “When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. 44 Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order.45 Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation.”
Matthew 12.43-45
How many times (be honest) has your house or room looked like this? It got so messy that you got frustrated even looking at it because you didn't know where to start cleaning. I know I have. Did you know, that our body is also a house, spiritually talking? So, what makes our house dirty? Everything that displeases God and pleases the devil. These dirty things that lay inside of us can be bad thoughts, hate, pride, jealousy, lust, baggage of something you have not been able to let go, etc. All of these things represent that dirty sock left on the couch or that pile of dirty dishes in the sink, you get the point. And who likes to live in a dirty house? Dirty people, but in our case an evil spirit.
When we go to church on Fridays (day of liberation) we are asking God to clean out our dirty house, and by faith we receive that liberation. However, once we are cleaned from the inside out, we remain empty. This gives us the perfect opportunity to ask God to come inside of us.
However, many times people do not want a serious relationship with God. They only come to Him when they have a problem, when they need something, but as soon as God comes to help, we pretty much say "well, see you later!". It's kind of like when a married man goes with his mistress. He is only with her when we wants to pleased, but as soon as he is satisfied, he goes back with his wife. Imagine how terrible God must feel when we treat Him like our mistress?
God doesn't only want to clean us from all of the dirty things inside of us, He wants to also fill us. He wants to dwell inside of us, so we can finally discover true happiness, and He gives us a new shine a new life. But many times, people do not want Him. So after they are liberated, they go back to do the things that please them.
And just as the verse says, when the evil spirit leaves a person's body, it seeks a place to rest and if he doesn't find it, he goes back to his original house where he takes seven more spirits to live within the person. That is why there are so many people who seem to manifest every week. Because they open their heart to be liberated, but they close their heart so God cannot enter.
God wants to bless you and He wants you to be truly happy. Maybe you even reached a point where you don't believe it is possible to be happy. That happiness, is just a fairy tale or something you only see in movies. But God wants make you happy, not just for a moment, like the things of this world, but forever.
Take advantage of this 21 Day Fast of Daniel that is going to begin this Sunday. If you say "I'm tired of how my life has been up to this point", and you are thirsty to find God, then prepare your heart for this Sunday.
God Bless.
