"When the unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, 'I will return to my house from which I came.' "And when he comes, he finds it swept and put in order. "Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first." Luke 10:24-26

When a demon is cast out of a man he must come to the Lord and be born-again and filled with the Spirit of God or else seven wicked demons will possess him, and he will become much worse than before, possibly even destroyed.
I have seen many delivered but after they were freed from whatever bondage held them, they went back to their old sins and the last state of these was worse than the first! Proverbs 26:11 states: "That as a dog returns to his own vomit, so a fool repeats his folly." I have watched many who were in our program get free and do good until they graduated and walked out only to go back into the world and repeat their wicked lifestyles!
Because they had no support or accountability to anyone some went back into prostitution, some drugs, and others ended up in prison. Sheep don't do well by themselves with no supervision or a Shepherd to guide them!
For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. II Peter 2:20
