Mosiah 3

 And he shall cast out devils, or the evil spirits which dwell in the hearts of the children of men.
Is this literal? Probably. Just as we can enjoy the companionship of the Holy Ghost we can also have evil spirits dwell with us. This makes perfect sense. There are so many incredible and uplifting things in the world. We have a limited amount of time. How we choose to spend it is critical. 

Be Ye Converted - Bonnie L.Oscarson
Being truly converted means we are acting upon what we believe and allowing it to create “a mighty change in us, or in our hearts.
Conversion takes place as we are diligent about saying our prayers, studying our scriptures, attending church, and being worthy to participate in temple ordinances. Conversion comes as we act upon the righteous principles we learn in our homes and in the classroom. Conversion comes as we live pure and virtuous lives and enjoy the companionship of the Holy Ghost. Conversion comes as we understand the Atonement of Jesus Christ, acknowledge Him as our Savior and Redeemer, and allow the Atonement to take effect in our lives.

I testify that as we act upon the doctrines of the gospel and put them into daily practice, we will become converted and will become the means of accomplishing much good in our families and in the world. May we all be blessed in our daily efforts to reach for that goal is my prayer in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
