"And when it arrives, it finds [the place]"
Only unbelievers can be possessed because believers can't be possessed because JESUS dwells permanently within us.
Colossians 1:27 (Amplified Bible)
To whom God was pleased to make known how great for the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ within and among you, the Hope of [realizing the] glory.
1 John 4:4 (Amplified Bible)
Little children, you are of God [you belong to Him] and have [already] defeated and overcome them [the agents of the antichrist], because He Who lives in you is greater (mightier) than he who is in the world.
1 John 5:4 (Amplified Bible)
For whatever is born of God is victorious over the world; and this is the victory that conquers the world, even our faith.
Since all are GOD's creation, all bodies are alike in it's form, in GOD's image but that body needs to accept the LORD JESUS as LORD and SAVIOR that's why He needed to invite the LORD JESUS to be LORD of his life and be the SAVIOR of his soul. Unbelievers doesn't have all these priveleges, that's why there's no one living in his body.
The LORD JESUS CHRIST makes our mind like His mind that's why the enemy can't dwell in it and can't make the mind his battle place.
1 Corinthians 2:16 (Amplified Bible)
For who has known or understood the mind (the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge? But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart.
The HOLY SPIRIT makes the body of the believer His dwelling place and the body became a sacred tool, a temple of the HOLY SPIRIT.
1 Corinthians 3:16 (Amplified Bible)
Do you not discern and understand that you [the whole church at Corinth] are God’s temple (His sanctuary), and that God’s Spirit has His permanent dwelling in you [to be at home in you, collectively as a church and also individually]?
1 Corinthians 6:19 (Amplified Bible)
Do you not know that your body is the temple (the very sanctuary) of the Holy Spirit Who lives within you, Whom you have received [as a Gift] from God? You are not your own,
Before conversion, before acceptance of the LORD JESUS CHRIST our bodies are instruments and slaves of sin and not of righteousness.
2 Corinthians 5:21 (Amplified Bible)
For our sake He made Christ [virtually] to be sin Who knew no sin, so that in and through Him we might become [endued with, viewed as being in, and examples of] the righteousness of God [what we ought to be, approved and acceptable and in right relationship with Him, by His goodness].
Romans 6:12 (Amplified Bible)
Let not sin therefore rule as king in your mortal (short-lived, perishable) bodies, to make you yield to its cravings and be subject to its lusts and evil passions.
We need to die to ourselves and live for the LORD. Our new identity is the LORD JESUS CHRIST and not ourselves.
Galatians 2:20 (Amplified Bible)
I have been crucified with Christ [in Him I have shared His crucifixion]; it is no longer I who live, but Christ (the Messiah) lives in me; and the life I now live in the body I live by faith in (by adherence to and reliance on and complete trust in) the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
1 Peter 4:2 (Amplified Bible)
So that he can no longer spend the rest of his natural life living by [his] human appetites and desires, but [he lives] for what God wills.
Romans 12:1 (Amplified Bible)
I APPEAL to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of [all] the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your members and faculties] as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable (rational, intelligent) service and spiritual worship.
B. It finds it in order, furnished and decorated.
"swept and put in order and furnished and decorated"
Psalms 36:3 (Amplified Bible)
The words of his mouth are wrong and deceitful; he has ceased to be wise and to do good.
For to me, my life before accepting the LORD JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOR, my life is just a decoration here on earth but with no purpose, GOD filled my life with purpose, so that I can be His servant.
Psalms 36:3 (Amplified Bible)
The words of his mouth are wrong and deceitful; he has ceased to be wise and to do good.
Psalms 125:5 (Amplified Bible)
As for such as turn aside to their crooked ways [of indifference to God], the Lord will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel!
Romans 3:12-18 (Amplified Bible)
All have turned aside; together they have gone wrong and have become unprofitable and worthless; no one does right, not even one!
Their throat is a yawning grave; they use their tongues to deceive (to mislead and to deal treacherously). The venom of asps is beneath their lips.
Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.
Their feet are swift to shed blood.
Destruction [as it dashes them to pieces] and misery mark their ways.
And they have no experience of the way of peace [they know nothing about peace, for a peaceful way they do not even recognize].
There is no [reverential] fear of God before their eyes.
These are descriptions of an unbeliever who's life is set by grace of GOD but GOD never dwells in it. Only believers have the priveleges and opportunities to be dwelt by GOD and made into a temple.
But to the unbeliever GOD will not dwell and will not even agree with unbelievers. There's no agreement and harmony between GOD and unbelievers.
2 Corinthians 6:14-16 (Amplified Bible)
Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers [do not make mismated alliances with them or come under a different yoke with them, inconsistent with your faith]. For what partnership have right living and right standing with God with iniquity and lawlessness? Or how can light have fellowship with darkness?
What harmony can there be between Christ and Belial [the devil]? Or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever?
What agreement [can there be between] a temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God; even as God said, I will dwell in and with and among them and will walk in and with and among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
IX. CONCLUSION:
Praise, worship, glorify, adore, bless, honor, acknowledge and thank You very much LORD JESUS for I rest my hope on Your Grace that has been revealed to me by the coming of the LORD JESUS in my life.
