“An evil eye” is a Hebrew idiom from the Old Testament. Jesus warned that if a person has an evil eye it is evidence that they are filled with great darkness. In this article we explore the meaning of an evil eye.
An Evil Eye
A House of Spirits
God designed humankind to be a temple for him to dwell in. However, when Adam sinned in the garden of Eden, he opened the door to other spirits coming in and inhabiting humankind as well. We are born with the spirit of disobedience working in us (Ephesians 2:1f) and if we open the door to the enemy, we may become demon possessed. When we turn to Christ and repentance, God will set us free from any demonic stronghold that may exist in our life, but our temple must be filled with the Holy Spirit or we risk coming under a worse form of possession than before.

In the article, the author explores the story of Adonijah, son of King David, who ambitiously sought the throne for himself, reminiscent of his brother Absalom. Despite his charm and efforts to gather support, Adonijah's aspirations conflicted with God's choice of Solomon to build the Temple, highlighting the theme of divine purpose versus personal ambition. The article underscores the importance of parental discipline, noting that David's failure to correct Adonijah contributed to his misguided pursuits. Ultimately, Adonijah's treachery leads to his execution, serving as a cautionary tale about the dangers of prioritizing personal power over God's plans. The author draws parallels to modern political schemes, urging readers to focus on collective efforts for the greater good rather than individual glory in building God's kingdom.
