Unclean spirits are malevolent beings. Their impurity is rooted in evil. Therefore, God judges them as unclean spirits.
The place where unclean spirits prefer to be is within people. Once inside a person's body, they can act like a king; they consider it their own home. They claim that the person is their property.
People do not become unclean spirits after they die. Instead, unclean spirits imitate people. Unclean spirits are evil beings that seek to control and manipulate humans by entering their bodies. People cannot overcome unclean spirits on their own. The only way to overcome them is through belief in Jesus. By believing in Jesus and making Him your King, unclean spirits cannot enter.
‘Then it goes and takes along seven other spirits more evil than itself’ to the house that has been swept and put in order. This means that if more evil spirits are brought along, they can enter. Therefore, although cleaning and repairs are necessary, the owner of the house must be Jesus. If Jesus is not the owner, then the spirits will come in and act as if they are in charge. Thus, we must continue to undergo transformation.
