However, if a person has the Holy Spirit, a demonic spirit can not enter in.
Mt 12:43–45; Lk 11:24–26–When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh with himself 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)
What kind of force is it that causes a demon to obey? What kind of power is it that can move mountains, calm the wind, and the sea. What kind of power is it that can cause a fig tree to quickly dry up. What power is it than can raise the dead, and heal any type of disease? What force is it that heals a person that is miles away and causes demons to come out that are also miles away? And what power is it that will destroy the armies of the world and their super weapons in 24 hours when Jesus returns? What power is it that can create the universe with the spoken Word? In the beginning there was God. The created universe came after. Indeed, we should fear God, and those that walk up–rightly do fear God. Now we see through a glass darkly.
And what demonic power is there that can cause a person to look at the heavens which declare the glory of God and declare His righteousness, and yet they say…there is no God. Those that do not confess that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh–this is the spirit of antichrist.
But the day is coming when the born again Christians will all be with Jesus. Then we shall understand.
