Synonyms for Mixing: blending, combining, merging, amalgamating, fusing, incorporating, mingling, jumbling, melding, uniting, coalescing, and compounding
When it comes to God and Satan, there is no mixing of the two. Remember Jesus’ teaching on the unclean Spirit.
Matthew 12:43-45 – KJV (The Return Of The Unclean Spirit)
43. When the unclean Spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. 44. Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
45. Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
So, after reading the above scripture, I can see no mixture. The Holy Spirit showed up and kicked the evil Spirit out of the house (referring to the person); there was no stick around being my guest for a while. The Holy Spirit sent the evil Spirit packing right away. The problem is verse 44, which says the evil Spirit goes to the house (the person) from which it came. He finds it empty, swept, and garnished. Keyword Empty! Where’s the Holy Spirit?
Where’s the word of God? Where’s prayer, and where is fasting?
Jesus Christ himself, when tempted by the devil, used The Word of God, and he prayed and fasted. When people receive forgiveness through Jesus and are baptized in The Holy Spirit, they are a new Creation but must stay proactive. There has to be a time set aside for prayer, fasting, reading the Bible, and meditating on God’s Word, which helps renew the mind and defeat the devil and his trickery.
