The unclean spirits had to be removed, otherwise these people could not respond to the gospel. In the same way, many others who hear the gospel have been blinded from the gospel by Satan (2 Cor 4:3-4), so that they cannot properly hear and accept it. When you share the gospel, pray that God will prevent Satan from veling the gospel and blinding the ones who hear it.
