Report Copyright Violation | The Living Waters, Death Valley and Demonic Spirits... Mexican earthquake causes 'desert tsunami' in Death Valley..Incredible flooding in Death Valley California! In 111 years, it was the second-rainiest day. Luke 11:24
“When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’
When it arrives, it finds the house swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and takes seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first.”Jeremiah 17:9
The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?
The Ineffectiveness of Self-CleansingIn speaking of the cleansing of the house in our passage, Jesus refers to the self-cleansing of one’s heart. Jesus, in His example, shows the ineffectiveness of self-cleansing because it does not affect the ownership of the heart and it does not have the power to maintain itself.
First, it is ineffective because it does not address the ownership of the heart. Notice the demon said, “I will return to my house” The demon still considers the person’s heart to belong to it.
Second, it is ineffective because it lacks the necessary power to maintain itself. While the demon had been removed, the house swept, and put in order; the demon was able to reenter through the force of seven demons more evil than itself.
Jesus clearly articulates that self-cleansing is ineffectual and will bring people to ruin and laments those who seek this ineffectual self-cleansing by saying, “the last state of that person is worse than the first”
