When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places,seeking rest,and finds none. Then he says,"I will return to my house from which I came." And when he comes, he finds it empty,swept,and put in order. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself,and they enter and dwell there;and the last state of that man is worse than the first.(Mathew12:43-45.
There are "12" clues in the above Scripture on how demons operate.
1-When an unclean spirit goes out of a man,he "goes through dry places"...here we see that demons can travel to different places.
2-"seeking" rest and finds none...they seek which means they can see
3-seeking "rest"...which means they get tired.
4-then he "says"...meaning they can speak.
5-I "will return"...meaning they can make decisions.
6-to "my" house...meaning that they still think we belong to them,even if we don't. They still believe we do.
7-from which "I came"...meaning they can remember from who they came out of. They have good memory.
8-and when he comes,he "finds it empty,swept,and put in order"...meaning they observe well where they came out from.
9-then he goes and "takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself...meaning he goes and gets help from 7 more spirits worse than he. He does not want to enter alone.
10-and they "enter"...meaning they can go back into a person who has stopped serving the Lord.
11-and "dwell there"...meaning they stay in that person.
12-and the last state of that man is "worse than the first"...meaning that person with the 7+1first demon has now 8 in him and they put upon him more suffering than he has had before.
