Beware of opening doors for devils to return to your house after you have been born again

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 

Matthew 12  (Jesus says)

 

43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.

 

44 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.

 

45 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. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

Recently I was speaking with a woman who is born again.  She began to think on her past life before she was born again and I saw her countenance completely change back to that previous hopeless life.  And I saw how we can let devils back into us by going back and thinking about that life we had before we were born again.

 

Philippians 3:13-15  (Paul says)  Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

 

Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded:

Jesus forgave the woman taken in adultery. 

 

Then Jesus said to her:  "Go ... and sin no more."  (John 8:11)

 

After we have been forgiven, we must not return to that sin again.

 

Hebrews 10

 

26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

 

27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

 

28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:

 

29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

 

30 For we know HIM that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto ME, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge HIS people.

 

31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

2 Peter 2

 

20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.

Galatians 5

 

16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

 

17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

 

18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

 

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

 

20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

 

21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

 

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

 

23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

 

24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

 

25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
