December 9. Genesis ch 33-36
NO VACUUM IN NATURE.
““When a demon is cast out of a person, it roams around a dry region, looking for a place to rest, but never finds it. Then it says, ‘I’ll return to the house I moved out of,’ and so it goes back, only to find that the house is vacant, warm, and ready for it to move back in. So it goes looking for seven other demons more evil than itself, and they all enter together to live there. Then the person’s condition becomes much worse than it was in the beginning. This describes what will also happen to the people of this evil generation.”” Matthew 12:43-45 TPT
GOOD DAY. When we were young, our generation used to think there was nothing in the air. If we could not see anything with our eyes in an open space, we assumed it was a vacuum. Not until we got to the secondary school and read about science experiments that brought water from cooled air did we become aware of the fact that space is not a vacuum. It is the same in the spiritual realm. There is no vacuum. Something has to fill your heart.
There are thoughts flying around. Thoughts are spiritual personalities that find where to anchor themselves in any human mind that they find available and receptive. Thoughts could be good or bad. The story for meditation today talks about a demon that was roaming around after being cast out of where it had anchored. When it didn’t find another suitable heart, it chose to go back to where it had lived before. It found it empty and well swept without any other thought occupying it so he went and brought others like it.
This is why a person needs to fill his heart with the word of God so that when the bad thoughts roam there, they will find inhabitants who would not allow them rest.
Remember that a person’s life is the sum total of the thoughts that have found anchor in his heart. He sees from the window of the rooted thoughts and manifests them. Imaginations come from thoughts. Advertisers and social media stories sow thoughts in the heart. It is your duty to guard the thoughts that take root in your heart. You can’t stop thoughts passing through but you can stop them taking root. Your heart or mind is not a vacuum. When you observe well, you will discover the occupants of your heart.
PRAY: “God, I invite your searching gaze into my heart. Examine me through and through; find out everything that may be hidden within me. Put me to the test and sift through all my anxious cares. See if there is any path of pain I’m walking on, and lead me back to your glorious, everlasting way— the path that brings me back to you.”
Psalms 139:23-24 TPT
