Jesus has lived a sinless life, forgives sins and has given life where Adam brought death. He has overcome the strong man, Satan and is still plundering his goods. This is the big picture. As we looked at the bigger picture of Matthew 3:27 in part 1 of this topic, I also want to encourage you my viewers to identify areas in your life that represent this strong man and to cultivate Spirit lead strategies to bind him. Do ye know that the Spirit of Christ in children of God, is the Stronger man? Lets look at the finer details. Shall we?
What is the strong man in your life?
Throughout our lives as a sinner not having accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we would have been ruled or governed by the strong holds of enemy (Satan). These strong holds are included in the works of the flesh through which Satan operates; adultery fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, hatred, witchcraft, idolatry, wrath, strife, heresies, envy,drunkenness, murder and such alike. As children of God however, we are able to overcome these works of the flesh because the Holy Spirit overpowers the flesh. He causes flesh to be killed daily.
In today’s world where the works of the flesh things are deemed normal and acceptable, God is calling for a people who can stand in His word that tells us they are not of Him but rather of the devil. Satan uses these things to enslave the souls of those who submit to him, they are his “goods”, in his house (the world) that are plundered by the stronger man Jesus Christ when He came and died on the cross of Calvary. Redeemed are they who now serve Christ and not the devil.
Another few strong holds that may go unnoticed are the spirit of fear & rejection, idolatry and not knowing who you are in Christ, lack of knowledge as I’d call it. The scripture declares in 2 Timothy 1:7 that God did not give us a spirit of fear but of power, of love and of a sound mind. Many times it is so subtle we don’t even realize that we are living in fear but this is what the enemy wants. Can you imagine dying in fear?
I am who God says I am! ๐

The spirit of rejection springs from negativity and care for what others have to say about you versus what God has to say about you. This world is not your dictionary, itdoes not get to define you! This is for somebody. Do you truly believe who God says you are? Do you believe what God says to begin with? Whenever you feel rejected, unloved and unimportant remember this.
Thus said the Lord, “I am your God and you are my people, you did not make yourself but I who made you in my own image. Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart. You were bought with a price, the blood of Jesus Christ. I the Lord died for you because I love you. I know the plans I have for you; to prosper you and not harm, to give you hope and a future. You are redeemed, do not be afraid for I am with you. I chose you, you are the salt of this earth, a city on a hill, through Jesus Christ you are victorious and you are an ambassador of my Son.” These are all declarations in scripture. Do not fall for the lies of the enemy. Jesus loves you.

“Do not fear for am with you,” He says. If God be with you, who can stand against you? …and if God is with you, why should you fear? Do you not know that He is the King of kings and we are kings and queens in the earth, an extension of His Kingdom come on earth? Do ye not know that He has given you power to defeat the enemy, love to fulfill the law and a sound mind to conquer and resist the tricks of the enemy? The mind is a battle ground. Whose report do you believe? Ensure you are believing the word of God and not that of the devil. The devil’s word is anything that opposes the word of God.
Unaparrent idol to many
The fame and the drugs, the money, the lust, the violence and the hatred have often times become idols in the lives of sinners. …And if you are not careful, they too can become idols in a believers life by simply not paying attention to even a thing simple as tithing. Money is a great servant but a terrible master, do not allow the limits of money to become dictatorship as to whether or not you give to the house of God.
As I close this entry, we can agree that Jesus Christ is the stronger man who has entered this world of sin ruled by Satan, and has washed us from the sting of eternal death by His blood sacrifice. Christ has plundered the “goods” of Satan, men who did not belong to him in the first place. He’s taken over as a stronger man, cleaned us up and has called us unto Himself. Now that we are His, let us bind and reject the devil and his tricks by believing and using the word of God. The word of God is our weapon and we must use it. Speak it daily and use it strategically when situations of immediate battle arise before us.

Let us do the work of Him that has called us to ministry while it is day, for when night comes no man will be able to work. God bless you, in Jesus’s name. Amen.
