Then goes he, and takes 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.    - Mat 12:45
But the demon that had been swept out will not return alone.     He will bring other demons with Him for the purpose of turning the Unbeliever into an active Enemy of the cause of Christ .   

When any one hears the word of the kingdom, and understands it not, then comes the wicked one, and catches away that which was sown in his heart .     This is he which received seed by the way side.    - Mat 13:19
Understanding what is said enables the brain to store the concept.     Without Understanding the Seed has no effect and is lost .   

The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; - Mat 13:38

A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah.     And he left them, and departed.    - Mat 16:4

Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O you wicked servant, I forgave you all that debt, because you desired me: - Mat 18:32

They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.    - Mat 21:41
This speaks of the rejection of Israel in favor of the Gentiles who will respond to the Master according to His Will .   

But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt you me, you hypocrites ?    - Mat 22:18
I suspect many Jews would have answered the question by saying something like this: "I pay no more than I can get by with." because they hated Rome.      Jesus recognizes that they want Him to respond as a Rome-hater.   

His lord answered and said unto him, You wicked and slothful servant, you knew that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: - Mat 25:26

Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: - Mar 7:22
All of these Sins and more proceed from the Heart of the Wicked .   

Then goes he, and takes to him 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.    - Luk 11:26
We cannot stay neutral.     We must be Filled with the Holy Spirit .   

And the Lord said unto him, Now do you Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness .    - Luk 11:39

And he says unto him, Out of your own mouth will I judge you, you wicked servant .     You knew that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow: - Luk 19:22
This Servant showed that he did not have Faith or Trust that what he did for the Master would produce results.   

Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: - Act 2:23
Jesus had to go to the Cross but this did not relieve the Guilt the people bore for their Wicked act.   

Repent therefore of this your wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.    - Act 8:22

And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O you Jews, reason would that I should bear with you: - Act 18:14

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places .    - Eph 6:12
Flesh and Blood is needed to impact the people of Earth in the Physical Realm .     That is why God made Himself a Body and we called Him Jesus whose purpose was to Redeem us from our Lost state .     Likewise, Satan uses Flesh and Blood people to do his work in the Earth .     

Spiritual Wickedness is the foundation for the attacks against our Faith and our Work for the Kingdom Of God .     That Spiritual Wickedness comes from Satan through His Deception of mankind.      Darkness is where Satan rules, using his powers of persuasion to convince men to turn away from God .     When a person rejects Christ they become a Child Of Satan and unknowlingly or willingly become his instrument to Steal, Kill and Destroy .   

Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked .    - Eph 6:16
We Stand firm lifting up the Shield of Faith and in so doing we cannot be touched by the Lies and Accusations of the Enemy or a Child Of Satan

And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: - 2Pe 2:7
God does not pour His Wrath on His people .     He Delivers us from Evil even when it is His Judgment on the Wicked .     

Lot was considered Just precisely because he was Vexed by Wickedness .     Those who take Pleasure in Evil and Evil doers are not Just .   

You therefore, beloved, seeing you know these things before, beware lest you also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.    - 2Pe 3:17
Avoid being brought back into Error by diminishing the Finished Work of Christ and the Power of the Holy Spirit to make you a New Spirit who is Perfect In Christ .   

I write unto you, fathers, because you have known him that is from the beginning.     I write unto you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked one.     I write unto you, little children, because you have known the Father .    - 1Jn 2:13
Regardless of age and responsibility we are One In Christ and are overcomers .   

I have written unto you, fathers, because you have known him that is from the beginning.     I have written unto you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one.    - 1Jn 2:14
Our status In Christ is more than Conquerors .   

Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother.     And wherefore slew he him?     Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous .    - 1Jn 3:12
Cain was a Carnal Minded murderer.

And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in wickedness .    - 1Jn 5:19
The Physical Wickedness of the World is terrible but what is much more terrible is the Spiritual Wickedness .     As we encounter Spiritual Wickedness we see the stark contrast between us and those who serve Satan .
