When demons return with seven more demons. This is one of the most scariest things that you can
experience it mentions in the bible and a lot of people take these verses and they live with fear
after their deliverance, that they can get now more demons than before. In fact some people are
scared of getting delivered because now they are in danger of getting more demons than before and I
want to show you these verses, that they actually don't mean what you think they mean. Many times
they're applied and they're used against every person who get delivered to bring them warning
and to bring them into fear and it's true if you get delivered you have to stay away from sin.
Jesus says to one man who was healed. He says don't sin lest worse happen to you. But we don't
see deliverance like that. We don't see Jesus telling people who get delivered that you will
get more demons. So let's dive into this verse and take a look at exactly what does this mean
and who is Jesus talking about. Now the reading is in Matthew 12:43 and it starts like this,"
When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest,
and finds none." So let's stop. First and foremost when an unclean spirit goes out of a man this
is not deliverance. How do I know that? Because demons do not go out of a man during deliverance,
they are driven out, they are expelled, they are commanded out. They don't voluntarily
leave. What is this talking about? It's talking about a person who was not delivered. And how
do I believe in that? I believe that demons can live voluntarily in and out of a person. In fact
we see that in Luke 9:39 when the father spoke of his boy and he says," Behold a spirit seizes him,
and he suddenly cries out; it convulses him so that he foams at the mouth;
and it departs from him... listen to this... and it departs from him with great difficulty
bruising him." So the father is saying that a demon that torments this boy comes,
takes control of the boy, creates a mess and then leaves the boy. Now the demon wasn't expelled
otherwise the father wouldn't come to Jesus for deliverance. The demon comes and the demon leaves.
We see the same thing happening to king Saul. Saul wasn't running crazy every second of the day.
He had times when, "episodes" when the demon would come upon him and then what would happen
is that he would go crazy. He would have this rage, he would have this outburst of anger,
he would try to kill David. And so that's pretty normal for a person who is demonized.
They're not demonized 24/7. Most of people are demonized and there's these, these moments,
during weak moments that satan comes in and takes over them. And so what I believe experienced in
Matthew 12 is talking about is a person that's not saved, and I'm going to give you some more
proof it's a person who is not delivered. It's a person who experienced just a demon leaving that
person not demon being cast out. For example let's say that you live in my house okay, and you left
in the morning to work. It's different you leaving the house versus me expelling you from the house,
me driving you out of the house, me throwing you out of the house. You see what I'm saying.
So there's difference between you leaving for work. You left the house. And then you're being
expelled from the house, you're being evicted. You're being forced out from the house. That's
completely different and so this is talking about when a spirit goes out of a man. It's not driven
out. It's not expelled. The demon just left, only of course to come back in the evening or some
other time. So it's very important to notice. Another thing that I want to mention here is,
and I love this is the fact that demons don't stay in dry places. It's very important to highlight
this. A little bit of a side note is that demons will go through dry places but they cannot stay
in dry places and so you might be spiritually dry, take courage. You're not spiritually dead.
Dry is better than dead. Demons will not stay. They'll try to maybe harass you, torment you and
attack you but stick your ground, get to the water and then they will leave you alone. But
another thing that I want to highlight in Matthew 12:44 It says that demons were seeking rest and
they didn't find any. And verse 44 it says that," Thus he says, the demon. I will return to my house
from which I came." So that tells me that a person that this is referring to, the house that this is
referring to did not experience deliverance. This person experienced relief. This person did not
experience repentance they experienced relief from demons and this person, satan still claimed hold
of this person's house. Satan still said my house. He didn't say Jesus's house, this person's house.
My house. Meaning this house still belonged to satan. This means that this person's life,
even though they had no longer demon in them at that moment, they still belonged to the devil. It
can't apply to Christians because even demonized Christians they belong to Jesus. Demons will say
that many times that this person, when you force the demon, the demon will cry out and scream, no
I don't, I don't own them. Jesus does and I hate them for that. I hate their prayer, I hate all
of that. Because our house, our spirit belongs to Jesus. And I want you to notice that when he comes
verse 44 he finds it empty, swept and put in order again. I don't believe it describes a Christian.
Do you know why? Because Christians are not empty. Christians are filled with the Holy
Spirit. This is talking about a person who doesn't have salvation. This is talking about a person who
is a property not of Jesus, not blood bought and demons didn't get expelled, they just left them,
only to come back. But this is, this is where my punch line is. Where I believe this is not talking
about Christians, and Jesus begins to say this, "He goes and takes with him seven other spirits
more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse
than the first." And guess who Jesus compares this story to. So this whole story is to connect
to who? And Jesus says it to who. He says," So shall it be with this wicked generation."
Which generation? Wicked generation. How do I know that it doesn't apply to you? Because
wicked generation is not your title. My Bible makes me to understand in 1 Peter 2:9 it says,"
We are a chosen generation. Royal priesthood. His holy people. His own people." So satan cannot say
my house because we are His own people. We're called out of darkness to proclaim His marvelous
light. We are a chosen generation. We're not a wicked generation. I believe this verse, now it's
true you can take the example of this that, you know if your life is empty or if you get delivered
and you don't invite Jesus into your heart, demons can come back. Yeah I'm not saying that that's not
what this could mean but if we read it verse by verse we see that it's talking about a wicked
generation. It's talking about a demon leaving, not being expelled and it's talking about a demon
laying a claim of this person's life and says, my house. A demon cannot say that about a Christian
because even if a Christian is demonized, Christian is the property of Jesus. The only
reason we have the authority to cast those demons out is because they are illegal. It's because they
crossed the boundaries. It's because Jesus is the boss, Jesus is the owner. Jesus is the one who
lives there. And have you noticed that when demons came back with seven more, have you noticed there
was no resistance in that house. Have you noticed that that house absolutely provided no resistance.
That is not what Christians do because when demons come back to a Christian. Oh there's
going to be a fight! Oh there's going to be some punches thrown. There's going to be, I rebuke you
satan. There is going to be, it is written. We're gonna put up a fight. Christians put up a fight.
Christians have an armor of God. This house, absolutely no resistance whatsoever. So I don't
believe it's talking about your deliverance. I don't believe, I don't believe it's talking about
us. Now what if you say, well Vlad I got delivered but demons came back. They came back what do I do?
I feel the same attack right now. I feel the same torment. I feel like they're attacking me from
the outside. So please understand a lot of times when you get delivered demons will come and try
to still attack you from the outside. It does not mean that they are on the inside, unless they are
or unless you're not fully delivered or there are certain things you still need to be delivered
from. But let's just assume right now that you were fully delivered and you still feel
the pressure on the outside. I remember I was just last week we went to eat with Bill Wiese
and his wife and we're sitting and there's a fly. There's like six flies on the outside. They got
stuck to the window, like they're like attaching themselves to the window and then there's one
inside, and so I grabbed the napkin and of course I killed the fly on the inside because I couldn't,
that bothered me. But I didn't do anything with the flies on the outside. Why? Because they didn't
bother me. Yeah they obstructed the view but they were not on the inside and after a while I ignored
them and they left. So you must understand as a Christian, if you got delivered the chances of
demons coming back on the outside are very strong. That's why the Bible says," Submit yourself to God
and resist satan." It's kind of like Israel coming out of Egypt. When they got delivered from Egypt,
first three days was joyful and guess what happened after that. Well the pharaoh they got
delivered from chased them and in fact he wanted to put them back. And I love what God says. He,
God says to Moses. Moses said to people. He says," Don't be afraid. Stand still and see the salvation
of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today,
you shall see again no more." I love that and He says," You shall see again no more forever."
So God was pretty much saying, hey don't be afraid, stand still and see the salvation.
God will fight for you and you will not see these enemies again. Meaning your freedom is going to be
free indeed. God says don't fear going back, fight back. Don't fear the demons on the outside that
you used to have on the inside. You know it might feel like, oh my goodness I'm not really delivered
because I see them on the outside, they're still attacking me. Resist them. Demons on the inside,
we have to expel them. Drive them out. Demons on the outside we have to resist and do what Israel
did. They didn't doubt their deliverance. They didn't go back to Egypt and say, you know what
we need to be delivered again, we need 10 plagues again. No. They went forward. They went forward,
so fight back! Resist. Put up a fight. Give satan, give satan a beating. Give him a black eye. Resist
the devil the Bible says. The Bible says this, they put up a fight. And so if things come back,
if certain maybe symptoms or certain even thoughts and though you have already deliverance,
you don't necessarily lose the battle, you lose bondage. See deliverance removes the bondage. It
does not remove the battle. In fact deliverance empowers you for the battle. If you got enemies
coming at you after your deliverance that means you're no longer in Egypt,
you're in the promised land. Because in Egypt God takes you away from your enemies and God removes
your enemies from you. He separates you. But in the promised land guess what God does.
God entrusts you with those enemies and He gives you power to fight them. So fight them.
Open up your mouth and speak. Now I want to speak in the conclusion for those people who,
it's not that demons came back, it's that you fell back into the same sin. Perhaps some kind of a sin
that open door to the devil. A sexual sin maybe or some other sin and you feel like that's John
5:14 where Jesus spoke to a man in the temple who was healed of paralysis and He said," See that you
were made well. Sin no more, lest worse thing can happen to you." And maybe you feel guilty today
and you're like man, that's it. I'm gonna have now seven more demons. I want to share something with
you. When a demon comes back to a person who is a warrior. When you're a righteous person the Bible
says in Proverbs 24:16 "That a righteous man may fall seven times and rise again, but the wicked
shall fall by calamity." One time the Lord kind of spoke to me and He said, Vlad a warrior can
fail seven times and he will fight back but a wicked will fall one time and he'll get seven
more demons. A warrior can fall but he will rise up but a wicked person who doesn't know Jesus,
who doesn't know the Holy Spirit. They'll fall one time and yes, they will get seven demons
because demons will come seven times more. Seven more spirits will come into their life. So I want
to ask you a question today. Who are you? Are you a warrior or are you a wicked person? If you're a
Christian you are a warrior. So even if you fell into the same sin, repent, confess your sin,
receive prayer and rise up. You're a righteous person. I love this thing about Peter is,
Jesus says this to Peter in Luke chapter 22:31-32 After the Lord said," Simon, Simon!"
It's interesting because Jesus changed his name from Simon to Peter. Simon means you know shaky,
unstable and now Jesus refers to him back by his old name because Peter just fell asleep in prayer
and that's a huge, huge revelation right there. When you opt to prayerlessness you'll relive your
past. So He says," Simon, Simon! Indeed satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. But
I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me,
strengthen your brethren." Man I love this. Many of us see this verse like this. You know, Simon,
Simon. Satan has asked for you. To torment you, to hurt you but I prayed for you so that you will not
fail and when you have failed satan will return to you with seven more demons and it will be
worse for you than before. But that's not what the Lord says. He says," When you have returned to Me,
strengthen your brethren." You know what happened to Simon was really a demonic attack.
Jesus made it clear satan was involved, he was asking for peter and nowhere in here does Jesus
say that Jesus prohibited satan from doing that. Because Peter had pride. He had an open door and
satan had a foothold on his life. He denied Jesus. Denied him three times and Jesus prayed that his
faith will not fail, that he will not lose his faith in his relationship with Jesus Christ and
then he promises this amazing thing. He says, when you return. You know how the verse we read,
is when the demon returns to the house with seven more demons but here Peter,
Jesus says to Peter. He says," When you return to Me." See when you fail, Jesus says return to me
and demons will not return to you. When you fall, return to the Lord. Run to Jesus. Even if you got
delivered it does not mean you'll never make a mistake. It doesn't mean you'll never commit sin.
It does not mean that you will never have a bad day. It does not mean that you will never fall.
If you are righteous remember, you're a righteous person, you are a free person. You have a fighting
chance. Deliverance has untied your hands. You can fight back. You can rise up. You can repent.
You can receive ministry and my friend return to Jesus and then Jesus says, get busy helping
other people. Don't sit there and wallow up in self-pity and guilt and waiting for demons to come
with seven more. No. Rise up and run to the Lord. Return to God. You're not a wicked generation.
Don't live with expectation that these demons will come with seven times more and claim you as their
house. You're not their property. You're bought by the blood of Jesus. You're a child of God.
Your a chosen generation and demons didn't leave you, they got forced out of you. Total different
world. Total different game. If pharaoh comes back at you over there and he's threatening you, to
pull you back and make you doubt your deliverance, listen. Rise up. Give the devil a fight. Don't be
afraid, fight back, stand your ground. And if you have sinned run to the mercy, run to God's grace,
find forgiveness and rise up. You're not a wicked generation, you are a warrior generation. And
therefore I really believe that Matthew chapter 12 really does not deal with people who got delivered
or saved. I know this might come as a shock for a lot of you because that's the verse that's being
quoted all the time. If you get delivered more demons will come if you don't fill your life
with the Bible. I don't believe that. Now do I, do we need to fill our life with the Bible. 100%.
You hear me talking about radical commitment all the time but I believe this scripture applies
to people who have demons leaving but not being driven out and it's talking about wicked people.
People on whom satan can lay hold and call them his possession. It's people who experienced
relief, change their behavior but they never experienced transformation in their heart. They're
wicked. They're not repented and they never place their faith in Jesus. I believe better about you
in Jesus name. I hope you were encouraged by this video. Give a thumbs up, subscribe to this channel
