Destroying the strongman

“Mark 3:23-27

King James Version (KJV)

And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?

And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.

No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.”

“Luke 11:17

King James Version (KJV)

But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.”

Luke 11:21-22

King James Version (KJV)

When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:

But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.

1

And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out [ekballō] Satan?

And if a kingdom [basileia] be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand [histēmi- continue].

And if a house [oikia] be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

And if Satan rise up [anistēmi= stand up] against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.[ telos=finished, terminated]

No man can enter[eiserchomai=come in]into a strong man's house[ischyros oikia], and spoil[diarpazō=seize upon, take by force, spoil, snatch away] his goods[ skeuos=vessel, implement], except[ ean mē=if not, unless] he will first [prōton=in the first place]bind[deō=bind around, fasten, put in bonds] the strong man; and then[tote] he will spoil[diarpazō=spoil, plunder] his house[oikia]

[Talking about kingdom, Jesus refers to the whole kingdom of satan, outside influnces also, while talking about house, Jesus is speaking about particular house, a man1,]

But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided [diamerizō=part] against itself is brought to desolation [erēmoō=lay waste, turn into a desert, wilderness]; and a house divided against a house falleth [ piptō=fall from higher to lower position]

When a strong man armed [kathoplizō=kata=all, hoplon= armour, instruments of war and weaponry] keepeth [ phylassō=guard, watch, observe]his palace[aulē=mansion], his goods[hyparchonta=possessions, property] are in peace[eirēnē=rest]:

But when a stronger than he shall come upon[eperchomai=attack, impend] him, and overcome[nikaō=conquer, prevail] him, he taketh[airō=lift, take away] from him all his armour[ panoplia=whole hoplon- armour, implements of war, weapon] wherein he trusted[ peithō=have confidence], and divideth[diadidōmi=give throughout the crowd] his spoils.[skylon=something stripped]

1 “What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?” 1 Cor 6:19

What did Jesus mean?

And if a [satanic] kingdom is divided [set into parts, be in disagreement] that satanic kingdom cannot stand [cannot continue to exist]! And if a [residents] of a home [temple] are divided [set into parts and disagreement] they cannot continue.

And if satan [and his armies] rise up [against one another] they cannot endure, continue any more, but have an end, are finished and their work is terminated.

No man can enter into a strong man’s house and seize upon [take hold of suddenly and forcibly2], take by force, spoil, snatch away [grab gridilly in a rude manner][force, violence and battle contest] his goods, except in the first place he bind around, tie up, put in bond, fasten the strongman and then [as a result] he will spoil [strip[deprive of rank, power and property], plunder[enter by force and steal goods ], sack[forcefully enter, steal and destroy], ravage[cause great damage to the evil ones]] his house

God’s temple belongs to Jesus, not satan!

Every satanic kingdom that is divided [split, segregated and subdivided, disunited, set at odds, estranged] is brought to desolation-ruin, devastation, turn into a desert and evil members of a house [temple] fall down!

When a strong man armed [with armour, weapons and implements of war] watches and guards his house, his goods are in peace. But when a stronger and mightier than he is, come upon him [attack, impend, tear into, fall upon, invade, rush, storm] and overcome him[conquer, defeat, beat, vanquish, bring to his knees, overpower], He taketh aay all his armoury, weapons and engines of war, that strongman trusted in, and distribute around his spoils.

Hallelu Jah!

Prayers to destroy the strongman:1. Faather, divide satanic kingdom against itself, especially that which attacks me, and stands behind all

2. Father, divide the evil occupants, squatters 3of my house, that is your temple 4against one another! According to 1 Cor 3:17, destroy those who try to destroy your temple!

3. I declare that Kingdom of satan and evil occupants of my house cannot continue and cannot stand, in the name of Jesus Christ! Let that evil kingdom fall down and die!

2 Effected against resistance through the use of force

3 “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan…” Rev 12:9 4 “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

4. I command satan and all his demons to raise up against one another, let them be divided and cease to operate. Send them internal conflict and infightings, let em disagree on everyting and bring civil war to that kingdom, that will noc cease till they will be destroyed!

5. I bind the strongman behind my problems and spoil his goods, I command him to loose me, my life, my thoughts, body and all my belongings and come out, never to come back!

6. I bring satanic kingdom operating in me and against me to desolation in Jesus’ name! I lay you waste, command you to be divided, dry up by the roots and turn into desert, wilderness! Fight against one another till you are destroyed!

7. Lord Jesus I call upon You, cos You are stronger than satan, and ALL his demons altoghether! He that is in us is greater that him that is in the world! Jesus Christ came to destroy the works of satan! Lord, seize upon him, and all his evil works done in me or against me, take him by force, spoil him and snatch away to dry places! I bind and destroy all his armour, weapons, and instruments of war. I overcome you, strongman and all your underlings, I conquer you, prevail against you, cos I am more than conqueror in Christ Jesus! Lord, take away all his props, hope, help, and make him desperate, humiliate him and bing him to his knees before you. Set me completely free, Lord Jesus! I PRAISE YOUR NAME, AND KEEP PRAISING YOU FOREVERMORE!
