Jesus said that if anyone unclean spirit is cast out, it wonders in dry places seeking rest, when it finds none, it says it will go back to it's original house and finding it cleansed and put in order, it goes and takes seven other spirits more wicked than it and they come and occupy the house and the last state of that man is worse than the first.
We cannot afford to be empty. When for example you cleanse yourself from murmuring and complaining, if you don't fill that empty with Thanksgiving, you will become a worse complainer than the beginning. If you cleanse yourself from judging others and finding faults with them, if you don't fill that space with encouraging others and finding something to appreciate in them, you will be worse. Instead of judging others, you learn to judge yourself rightly.
If you cleanse yourself from watching filthy movies and don't replace that with watching something godly, you'll be worse.
If you cleanse yourself from reading romantic novels and don't replace that with reading something godly, you will be worse. Whatever you stop doing, you must replace it with something good.
A woman in the crowd said that the womb that bore him and the breast that nursed him were blessed but Jesus replied, that those who hear the word of Jesus and obey it are more blessed than the womb and breaats of Mary the mother of Jesus. Yes if you hear and obey God's word, you are greatly blessed.
An evil and an adulterous generation seeks for a miraculous sign. This is the generation that we are living in. We are obsessed with signs, miracles and wonders but Jesus said that the sign He gave us was His death and resurrection. Unfortunately this is rarely heard except perhaps during Easter, but the rest of the times we are occupied with miracles and wonders. Isn't interesting how the devil has sidetracked the church from seeking the things that are eternal to things that are temporal? May God have mercy upon us and open our eyes to see things from His point of view.
The queen of south paid a price to listen to Moses but they had one greater than Moses and didn't listen to Him yet they had no price to pay. Nineveh listened to Jonah but someone greater than Jonah preached to them and didn't listen: this their judgement will be stricter for to whoever much is given, much is expected.
Did you know that people for a long time men couldn't acquire a bible to read at home but you can have it now freely yet you don't read. What will you answer at the last day....
Always remember that everything you do one day you will give an account of it in the day of judgment. Learn to judge yourself today and ask God to give you light so that you can set right the things that need to be set right otherwise you may get a surprise at the last day expecting to receive a grand reception in heaven and only to be rejected and there is nothing you can change then. Change the things you can now when you have time.
You are blessed to be a blessing
