Unoccupied - Matthew 12:43-45

Matthew 12:43-45 NASB 
“ Now when the unclean spirit goes out of a man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came ’; and when it comes, it finds it unoccupied, swept, and put in order. Then it goes and takes along with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. That is the way it will also be with this evil generation.”

Jesus is speaking to and of the Jews. However, this applies to every believer as well. When we begin to marginalize or exclude Jesus from our hearts and lives, there is something that will fill that empty space.  

Jesus will judge the state of our hearts. It up to you to determine what that is.
