If we don’t fill those spaces with good, and loving actions thoughts, feelings , beliefs, that old evil stuff will soon creep back again, 8 times worse (Luke 11:24-26)- Be Encouraged!

I’ve noticed, along these same lines, that the heart has a seemingly bottomless resevoir of faux “desires,” which masquerade for the truly evil intentions underlying.
“Turn from evil” is an admonition placing the responsibility squarely upon us for real action in time.
