The Haunted house.

·         Matthew 12:43-45 > Jesus spoke about haunted house.

§  The Bible tells us that there is a war-taking place all around us. It is a spiritual war that is unseen by human eyes. The war is between God and that fallen angel and this battle is over the souls of mankind. The Bible tells us of demons, evil spirits, which interact and affect our physical world.

§  A man is referring to mankind, that which God had made in his image. 

§  Genesis 1:26a says; Then God said, Let Us make man in Our image, per Our likeness…God made us and he designed us to inhabit spirits. Our own spirit plus the Holy Spirit or a demonic spirit.

§  1 Corinthians 6:19-20 > God gave us the choice of which spirit would we serve. We cannot have both spirits dwelling in the house we call our body. Our house holds our kind of spirit and one other kind. 
That you either have the Holy Spirit dwelling in your house or Unholy Spirits dwelling in your house!
