Matthew 12:43-45 Luke 11:24-26
43When the unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he walks through dry places seeking rest, and finds none. 44Then he said, I will return into my house from where I came out. And when he has come, he finds it empty, swept, and decorated. 45Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and live there. And the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so it also shall be to this evil generation.
MKJV
24When the unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he walks through dry places seeking rest. And finding none, he says, I will return to my house from which I came out. 25And when he comes, he finds it swept and decorated. 26And he goes and takes seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and entering in, they dwell there. And the last state of that man is worse than the first.

  • When an unclean spirit goes out of a person, either through you commanding it out or perhaps you had others praying with you. If your house, (your body, your earthly vessel), has not had this void filled with the power of the Holy Spirit and right thinking, ie. renewing of your mind, Romans12:2. Be prepared for counter attacks.
  • Since scripture just calls this "an unclean spirit" this apples to everything that is not from God. It could apply to sickness, unbelief, addictions, wrong thoughts, etc. Click on this link to see a chart on types of unclean spirits.
  • The Devil will nearly always give a counter attack. He is going to test you to see if you can stand your own ground without any assistance from others
