If Christ is not present in a person, will then other spirits come in? (Matthew 12:43-45)


Please explanation to the passage from Matthew 12:43-45. I want to know what it means by saying “I will return in my house, from which I came.” If Christ is not present in a person, will then other spirits come in?

Before I give and answer I want to post the biblical passage that we refer too:


This text doesn’t say that if Christ doesn’t live in a person then other unclean spirits come to live there. That way we will have to believe that all non-Christians are possessed by unclean spirits, but its not like that.

To understand this passage we will have to understand better to whom it was addressed. In the first part of chapter 12 of Matthew we have an example where Jesus Christ healed a deaf and blind man that was possessed by unclean spirits.


Even though the Pharisees saw this big miracle, they blasphemed against the Holy Spirit because they attributed to Beelzebul, the lord of demons, the miracle made by Jesus Christ. After Jesus rebuked them and told them about how serious their sin was….


The evil and adulterous generations are the pharisees and the scribes even though they saw the miracle they attributed it to the lord of demons. That’s why Jesus Christ told them that they may end up being possessed by unclean spirits from the moment that they in a deceitful way refuse the power and the work of the Holy Spirit that they saw in full action.
