VIII. MAIN BODY:
Luke 11:26 (Amplified Bible)
And it goes and brings other spirits, seven [of them], more evil than itself, and they enter in, settle down, and dwell there; and the last state of that person is worse than the first.
Luke 11:26 (King James Version)
Then goeth he, and taketh to him 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.
A. The evil spirit brings seven worst spirits and they enter and dwell in an unbeliever's body.
"And it goes and brings other spirits, seven [of them], more evil than itself, and they enter in, settle down, and dwell there;"
We see the Pharisses, representing religious pride and hypocrisy, are being indwelled by these type of spirits.
Matthew 23:15 (Amplified Bible)
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, pretenders (hypocrites)! For you travel over sea and land to make a single proselyte, and when he becomes one [a proselyte], you make him doubly as much a child of hell (Gehenna) as you are.
We find what matter of spirits or type of spirits that we have on these:
2 Corinthians 12:20 (Amplified Bible)
For I am fearful that somehow or other I may come and find you not as I desire to find you, and that you may find me too not as you want to find me—that perhaps there may be factions (quarreling), jealousy, temper (wrath, intrigues, rivalry, divided loyalties), selfishness, whispering, gossip, arrogance (self-assertion), and disorder among you.
Avoid these two spirits: pride. We see it will wreck the whole neighbor with it's other seven worst spirits than it.
ILLUSTRATION: I've known a person only for a little while that he got pride and he of course knows it and is proud about it, telling stories that he's proud and he always win arguments, etc, now he has wreaked havoc to anyone he comes in contact with, there's jealousy, temper, selfishness, whispering, gossip, arrogance, and disorder among them.
How to dealt with pride?
1. Be subject to GOD
Put yourself in subjection to GOD.
James 4:7 (Amplified Bible)
So be subject to God. Resist the devil [stand firm against him], and he will flee from you.
2. Cast all pride to JESUS
You don't eat pride but cast it all out from yourself to GOD and make JESUS CHRIST your pride.
1 Peter 5:7 (Amplified Bible)
Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.
3. Make JESUS CHRIST your pride
Philippians 3:3 (Amplified Bible)
For we [Christians] are the true circumcision, who worship God in spirit and by the Spirit of God and exult and glory and pride ourselves in Jesus Christ, and put no confidence or dependence [on what we are] in the flesh and on outward privileges and physical advantages and external appearances—
1 Thessalonians 2:19 (Amplified Bible)
For what is our hope or happiness or our victor’s wreath of exultant triumph when we stand in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His coming? Is it not you?
B. The last state of the unbeliever is worse than the first.
"and the last state of that person is worse than the first"
Daniel 12:10 (Amplified Bible)
Many shall purify themselves and make themselves white and be tried, smelted, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand, but the teachers and those who are wise shall understand.
We see here being foretold by the angel to Daniel that the wicked in these last days will do wickedly and no one will understand about what GOD is doing.
2 Peter 2:20-22 (Amplified Bible)
For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through [the full, personal] knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they again become entangled in them and are overcome, their last condition is worse [for them] than the first.
For never to have obtained a [full, personal] knowledge of the way of righteousness would have been better for them than, having obtained [such knowledge], to turn back from the holy commandment which was [verbally] delivered to them.
There has befallen them the thing spoken of in the true proverb, The dog turns back to his own vomit, and, The sow is washed only to wallow again in the mire.
1 John 5:16 (Amplified Bible)
If anyone sees his brother [believer] committing a sin that does not [lead to] death (the extinguishing of life), he will pray and [God] will give him life [yes, He will grant life to all those whose sin is not one leading to death]. There is a sin [that leads] to death; I do not say that one should pray for that.
Jude 1:12-13 (Amplified Bible)
These are hidden reefs (elements of danger) in your love feasts, where they boldly feast sumptuously [carousing together in your midst], without scruples providing for themselves [alone]. They are clouds without water, swept along by the winds; trees, without fruit at the late autumn gathering time—twice (doubly) dead, [lifeless and] plucked up by the roots;
Wild waves of the sea, flinging up the foam of their own shame and disgrace; wandering stars, for whom the gloom of eternal darkness has been reserved forever.
You need to discern these people by the gift of discernment the HOLY SPIRIT will give you when you ask the HOLY SPIRIT. In several anointing services I've been, I can sense if people are faking it or really living for the LORD. Sad to say, there are many who are faking it and outnumbers those who are genuine.
IX. CONCLUSION:
Praise, worship, glorify, adore, bless, honor, acknowledge and thank You very much LORD JESUS for I submit myself to you, emptying all myself in exchange of you and no more self-consciousness but only GOD consciousness and Grace consciousness will fill me up.
