The Stronger Man

"When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe. But when someone stronger than him attacks him and overpowers him, he takes away his armor in which he trusted and divides his spoils." Luke 11: 21-22

House - People

Strong Man - Satan

Stronger Man - Jesus

Spoils - Weapons

When Jesus died he went down to hell and  tore it up. He crushed Satan's head under his heel. It says he took his armor and divided his spoils. That means that Jesus took all the weapons from Satan and his army, they don't have weapons anymore! He looked at Fear and at Rejection and said "COME HERE!" and they each came and bowed down before Jesus and handed over their weapons. The only thing they have to fight you with is words!

"ALL authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me." Mt28:18 The truth is that the only authority that demons have in your life is the authority that you give them. In Jesus you have all authority.

It's time to get violent.

You have all the authority you need.  

Take your life back.

The Valley Of Bones...

God took Ezekiel to a valley filled with dry bones, He had Ezekiel walk around and take a look at them and He said to Ezekiel "Can these bones live?" So many things in the bible have symbolic meanings, what do the dry bones mean? Follow me for a second...

Proverbs 

13:12  Hope deferred makes the heart sick... 

15:13 ...A sick heart crushes the spirit 

17:22 ...A crushed spirit dries up the bones

Hopelessness makes the heart sick which crushes the spirit which dries up the bones.

So the bones in the story represent lost hope, and God asks Ezekiel "Can these bones live?" ('Can this hope live?') Ezekiel basically says "I don't know" then God says to him "Speak into these bones and say 'Hear the word of the Lord, God says to you He will cause breath to enter you and you shall live!'" So Ezekiel spoke to the bones and said what God had told him to and guess what happened! Tendons and muscle and skin grew on the bones and they came alive! Standing before Ezekiel was a living army. 

Prophesy to the places in your life where you've lost hope and watch them come alive.
