[Luke 11:21-26 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.”
“He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth. When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.”
“And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.“
The main message from this text is clear: life is a game of power and dominion. It’s the survival of the fittest.
“For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.” – 1 Corinthians 4:20 KJV
You can carry my staff and still fail; if you don’t have the power to command the results. The prophet gave his rod to his servant to raise the dead boy, but nothing happened. You need power to command results. As we fast and pray today, we are trusting God for the release of power to break in and possess.
Remember that the kingdom of God is not in words but in power. Talking alone is not enough to manifest the kingdom. The power of God is the only thing that can change the world around us. The kingdom of God is in power, not in words.
This means that when you are prepared and strong, you can protect your life, your possessions, and your dreams. But if you are not prepared, you can be overcome by someone or something stronger than you.
“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.”
This means that if you are not prepared, you can lose everything you have worked for – your possessions, your reputation, and even your freedom.
- So be strong and be prepared. Arm yourself with knowledge, skills, and determination. Be ready to face whatever challenges come your way and never give up on your dreams.
- Don’t be afraid to stand up for yourself. If you see something wrong, speak out. Don’t let anyone take advantage of you.
- Don’t give up on your dreams. No matter how difficult things get, keep fighting for what you believe in.
- Be prepared for anything. The unexpected can happen at any time, so be ready for it.
- Never give up. No matter how many times you get knocked down, keep getting back up.
May the gracious God help you possess all that God has prepared for you in the name of Jesus!
Stay blessed.
