Hey, seven is company!
Jesus tells us a fascinating story of an impure spirit which comes out of a man in Luke chapter 11. In the end, that spirit goes back to the same abode in excellent company – seven spirits more wicked! This ought to warn us. We may begin relatively well, housing just one evil spirit. Then we get better when that one exits – through prayer / rebuke. The bad spirit which went out is watching us all the time and it wants to come back! After all we gave it a comfortable abode!
By it self it can not stomach the purity of our cleaned and swept soul, since its departure. To make the place congenial for it to live in again, the old impure spirit wants company! And it finds seven spirits more wicked!
Be constantly on guard!

If we have the holy spirit can a strange spirit come in to stay comfortably.
No. I guess it can visit us but not “come in to stay comfortably”.
