For Wednesday, May 21, 2025:
Luke 11:24-26 NLT, Jesus speaking: “When an evil spirit leaves a person, it goes into the desert, searching for rest. But when it finds none, it says, ‘I will return to the person I came from.’ So it returns and finds that its former home is all swept and in order. Then the spirit finds seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they all enter the person and live there. And so that person is worse off than before.”
Jesus is speaking of the danger of someone being delivered from a demon, but not yet committed to God and the Savior. Remaining neutral on eternal life’s decision isn’t possible. You might as well hang up a “vacancy” sign. If your soul is unoccupied, demons will assume they can move in. Pick one – hot or cold, but Jesus doesn’t like lukewarm!
Life doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Everything interacts. So if we’re evangelizing and a demon leaves our candidate, it’s important to fill that space with Jesus – right away! Don’t afford Satan an opportunity to return.
Do the same for yourself. I was once told that the Holy Spirit is like gas in our cars. We need to top off our Holy Spirit tanks daily. Then we’ll be safe and protected. We’ll be armed for whatever life throws at us!
Therefore, fill any vacancy with Jesus!
