“When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and dwell there. And the final plight of that man is worse than the first” (Luke 11:24-26).

The “gods”

The “gods” are among us! When reading the Bible we find that there are numerous references to the “gods.” When we think of the term “gods” we think of the pantheon of gods in the ancient Greco-Roman world or we think of the many deities worshipped around the world in different cultures and countries. We associate these gods with the idols and images that have been built depicting them. However, the Bible in both Testaments, reveal that these “gods” are in fact spirit entities, rulers and authorities and powers of this dark world, spiritual forces of evil in the unseen spiritual realm of the heavens (the atmosphere), that are at work in this fallen world in and through the lives and hearts of the unsaved. As it is written; “the whole world lies in the power of the wicked one.” Also these “gods” in the unseen spiritual realm are at work to spiritually disable New Covenant Bible believers who are saved and walking with God. We are told that the worship of idols is in fact the worship of demons. (Deuteronomy 32:16-17) (Psalm 106:36-37) (1 Corinthians 10:20).
