DANGERS OF SPIRITUAL EMPTINESS
TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)

TOPIC: DANGERS OF SPIRITUAL EMPTINESS
SCRIPTURE: “When the evil spirit goes out of a man it wanders through waterless places looking for rest and never finding it. Then it says, ‘I will go back to my house from which I came.’ When it arrives it finds it unoccupied, but clean and all in order. Then it goes and collects seven other spirits more evil than itself to keep it company, and they all go in and make themselves at home. The last state of that man is worse than the first—and that is just what will happen to this evil generation.”
Matthew 12:43-45 (PHILLIPS)
MEMORY VERSE: Ephesians 4:27
DIGGING DEEP: One of the laws of existence is that there is no vacuum in life. So it applies to the spirit realm, there is never any vacancy. It is either God fills our void or the devil.
When you are not engaging in spiritual activities, you are engaging in something else and gradually, the devil takes over and when he does, things stops working. So having this understanding we must do all we can daily to be full of God.
Todays anchor Scripture reveals two dangers of Spiritual emptiness:
1. Spiritual Emptiness is key to spiritual vulnerability: “When the evil spirit goes out of a man it wanders through waterless places looking for rest and never finding it. Then it says, ‘I will go back to my house from which I came.’ When it arrives it finds it unoccupied, but clean and all in order." The devil is constantly looking for those who are spiritually empty to occupy. What occupies a person reveals the occupation that individual will be engaged in. It simply means that, what occupy you, is what controls you.
2. Spiritual emptiness is the rooy of demonic controls: "Then it goes and collects seven other spirits more evil than itself to keep it company, and they all go in and make themselves at home. The last state of that man is worse than the first." Spiritual emptiness is an invitation to other demons. The enemy always wants to conquer a man. In doing so, they try to gain access into a person and when they do, they want to grind the person to a total halt spiritually.
Spiritual emptiness is a stronghold for controlling spirits. The reason why Judas sold Jesus was not because he lacked money, it was because he didn't deal with controlling spirits hence they grounded his life, ministry and position in Christ.
When you take a critical look at the way you act or do things you will know if you are been controlled by the Spirit of God or something else is controlling your life.
This is the reason we must be deligent and stand against the whiles of the devil; so that we do not give the devil any foothold in our lives [Ephesians 4:27].
Finally, satans foothold is satan's stronghold on a person. Check those things that easily besets you wrestle it off in prayer, the study of the word and fill your heart with the Holy Spirit until you are fully fortified.
I pray for you today, may you be full of God in Jesus' name.
PRAYER: O Lord i destroy every demonic stronghold in my life in the name of Jesus.
