There is no such thing as a vacuum or void here on earth. It means nothing is ever empty. A bottle with no water is full of air, only we can’t see air.
Recently, I got involved with some work that was very tedious. It required waking up early on the morning and getting home late at night. I had to rush in the morning so I couldn’t read my Bible, by the time I got home at night, I wanted to but I didn’t read it cause I was tired. That went on for about 3 or 4 days.
That period I had the strangest dreams. I’m not much of a dreamer at night but every night I did. One of the nights, I woke up and I couldn’t go back to sleep. I began to ask Him why I was having such dreams because I wasn’t watching movies or thinking of things during the day to inform such dreams, then He explained to me the “vacuum theory”. Since I wasn’t filling my mind with the Word of God, the devil had room to put in any other thing.
We need to “watch” what goes in our mind by constantly putting in the right thing. When we don’t, we give room for the principle of vacuum which insists that something must go in since there can’t be a vacuum. That way we become exposed to all kinds of things which usually are not good for us.
“Therefore guard your heart with all diligence, for out of it come the issues of life” Proverbs 4:23
