Ladies and Gentlemen, we know from scriptures that “a house divided cannot stand”!

One time Jesus entered a house, and the crowds began to gather again. Soon He and His Disciples could not even find time to eat. When His family heard what was happening, they tried to take Him away.

He is out of His Mind, they said. But the teachers of religious law who had arrived from Jerusalem said, He is possessed by Satan, the prince of demons. That is where He gets the power to cast out demons.

Jesus called them over and responded with an illustration.

How can Satan cast out Satan? He asked. A kingdom divided by civil war (internal conflicts) will collapse. Similarly, a family (or a Nation) splintered by feuding will fall apart.

And if Satan is divided and fights against himself, how can he stand? He would never survive. Let Me illustrate this further. Who is powerful enough to enter the house of a strong man like Satan and plunder his goods? Only someone even stronger—someone who could tie him up and then plunder his house.

I tell you the truth, all sin and blasphemy can be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven. This is a sin with eternal consequences.

He told them this because they were saying, He is possessed by an evil spirit.

Dear ones, whenever we give credit to the devil – Satan – Lucifer for any actions or circumstances we are acknowledging that he has more Power or more Authority than JESUS! This is a LIE straight from the pit of Hades. Satan worship is demonic

Christ JESUS our LORD and Savior has already defeated the evil one on our behalf.

This is a HEART matter to consider, is my heart divided?  Is my mind ‘double-minded’? What am I thinking about that really is important to my sphere of influence in this world?

Holy Spirit of TRUTH, we PRAY in agreement with Your Word in 1John 4:1-6

Dear friends, do not believe everyone who claims to speak by the Spirit. You must test them to see if the spirit they have comes from God. For there are many false prophets (and demonic spirits) in the world.

This is how we know if they have the Spirit of God: If a person claiming to be a prophet acknowledges that Jesus Christ came in a real body, that person has the Spirit of God.

But if someone claims to be a prophet and does not acknowledge the truth about Jesus, that person is not from God. Such a person has the spirit of the Antichrist, which you heard is coming into the world and indeed is already here.

But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a Victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.

Those people belong to this world, so they speak from the world’s viewpoint, and the world listens to them.

But we belong to God, and those who know God listen to us. If they do not belong to God, they do not listen to us. That is how we know if someone has the Spirit of Truth or the spirit of deception.

 

We who believe that The ONE living on the INSIDE is so much GREATER than any demon that is in this world, and we must confess with our mouth exactly what we believe in our hearts:

JESUS the CHRIST, The Son of the LIVING GOD laid down His Life for my sake. He has washed me clean from ALL my transgressions, ALL my sins of omission and commission and SET ME FREE from the consequences and punishment of my actions and words spoken against His Truth as it is written in my Bible!

I AM a CHILD of GOD and my LORD knows my thoughts and my actions. He is the ONE who created me in His Image, with His Character, and His Divine Plan for my life here on earth and my LIFE Eternal in His Kingdom FOREVER!

I AM the RIGHTEOUSNESS of GOD IN CHRIST!

This is the absolute TRUTH of the written Word of GOD!
