If we cast out the spirit of Jezebel but fail to call on the Spirit of Jesus, then reform can potentially lead to deform. You see, Jesus warns that when an unclean spirit is cast out, but the "house" remains empty, seven worse spirits return, making the last state worse than the first (Matthew 12:43-45). Therefore, true and lasting change requires repentance--where the "house" isn't just cleaned up but also filled up--with Christ at the center, filling us with His Spirit and renewing our minds.
