Can casting out demons actually make your spiritual condition worse? Jesus' shocking parable in Matthew 12 reveals why deliverance without repentance leaves you more vulnerable than before. An empty spiritual house is an invitation for seven demons to move in. Are you focusing on removing the negative while forgetting to fill the space with God's presence?

Because the problem wasn't lack of evidence - it was unwillingness to surrender control. The violent city of Nineveh repented without seeing a single miracle, while these leaders refused to change despite witnessing thousands. What areas of your life are you keeping off-limits to God's lordship?
