Bible Question: I would like to know does the unclean sprit look for another body or person to rest in or just anything suchas an animal ? |
Bible Answer: I believe that an unclean spirit first looks for a human vessel to inhabit because his mission is to steal kill and destroy. Animals although are God's creation do not possess a spirit.Man's most prized possession. That is where the water lies the life giving substance that satan and demonic spirits want to block and stagnate. So this unclean spirit that Jesus is talking about is looking primarily for a vessel who is not washing with the water of the word and bathing in the presence of God,or drinking the new wine of the Spirit. Jesus did permit unclean spirits to inhabit animals at their request, I'm sure they knew He would not permit them to enter anyone else. |
