“Bind the Strong Man”

Blessings folk!

The scribes had accused Jesus of performing “miracles” by demonic power - Beelzebul.

Mar 3:22
The scribes who came down from Jerusalem were saying, “He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and “He casts out the demons by the ruler of the demons.”

Jesus’ response?

How can satan cast out satan?

Mar 3:23
And He called them to Himself and began speaking to them in parables,
“How can Satan cast out Satan?

Jesus spoke to them in parables explaining…

A kingdom divided against itself can not stand.
A house divided against itself can not stand.

Then, Jesus says this…

Mar 3:27
“But no one can enter the strong man’s house and plunder his property unless he first binds the strong man, and then he will plunder his house.

Jesus was giving some insight into the battle we face.
He was showings how to do some things

We are victorious in/through the Lord Jesus.
But, we must know that the enemy is powerful and seeks to kill/steal/destroy.

We must rest in the Lord.
Not in our ability
Not in our strategies.
Not in the strength of the flesh.
In the Lord and His power.

He has bound the “strong man” satan.

Believe!

This will help to understand the next verse…later…
