Luke 11:21–26 (KJV)
21 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace: 22 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. 23 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth. 24 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. 25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. 26 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.
7 If you had done the right thing, you would be smiling; but because you have done evil, sin is crouching at your door. It wants to rule you, but you must overcome it.”

The Strong Men Is Coming to a Neighborhood Near You
The Strong Men Is Coming to a Neighborhood Near You
21 “When a strong man, armed to the teeth, stands guard in his front yard, his property is safe and sound.
#Kingdom Key A Strong Man (A demon Spirit) Once it takes possession
It becomes his property
He guards it
He has defense weapons to keep them safe
Kingdom Key #2 Sin Waits at the Door of Opportunity
6 And the Lord said to Cain, Why are you angry? And why do you look sad and depressed and dejected?
7 If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin crouches at your door; its desire is for you, but you must master it.
Today I’d like to Confront When, Why, Where And Who the Strong Man Is In Your Life:
This Might Start Off a Little Painful when we discover who he is & how he got there.
But stay with me, the Good NEWS is We have a Stronger Man that wants to step in.
And Gen 4.7 teaches us we Must Master how to control sinful behavior and spirts from manipulating us.
Turn with me to Exodus 20:1-3
1 And God spake all these words, saying, 2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
First Strong Man: Idol’s
4 You shall not make yourself any graven image [to worship it] or any likeness of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth;
5 You shall not bow down yourself to them or serve them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me,
6 But showing mercy and steadfast love to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments.
Let me define what an Idol In Our LiveS looks like according to warfare:
The New King James Version (Chapter 10)
4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ
Every High thing that exalts itself against the Knowledge of God
Exalt: Hold Someone or Something in High Regard
2. STRONG MAN: Defiling The Lord God’s Name
7 You shall not use or repeat the name of the Lord your God in vain [that is, lightly or frivolously, in false affirmations or profanely]; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
3. Strong Man: The Sunday Demon
9 Work six days and do everything you need to do. 10 But the seventh day is a Sabbath to God, your God. Don’t do any work—not you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your servant, nor your maid, nor your animals, not even the foreign guest visiting in your town. 11 For in six days God made Heaven, Earth, and sea, and everything in them; he rested on the seventh day. Therefore God blessed the Sabbath day; he set it apart as a holy day.
Someone Say Sunday is The Holy Day
4th Strong Man: Dis-honor:
12 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
Talk About How I Dis-honered My Father
5th Strong Man: The AssasSin
13 Thou shalt not kill.
5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.
18 He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.
18 The judges must investigate the case thoroughly. If the accuser has brought false charges against his fellow Israelite,
19 you must impose on the accuser the sentence he intended for the other person. In this way, you will purge such evil from among you.
6th Strong Man: The adulterer
Engaging in sexual activity outside the bounds of a marriage relationship.
7th Strong Man: The Thief
16 Whoever kidnaps a man, whether he sells him or is found with him in his possession, shall surely be put to death.
8th Strong Man:false Accuser
1 Then the angel showed me Jeshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord. The Accuser, Satan, was there at the angel’s right hand, making accusations against Jeshua. 2 And the Lord said to Satan, “I, the Lord, reject your accusations, Satan. Yes, the Lord, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebukes you. This man is like a burning stick that has been snatched from the fire.”
9th Strong Man: The Coveter
it means an ungoverned and selfish desire that threatens the basic rights of others. Coveting was sinful because it focused greedily on the property of a neighbor that was his share in the land God had promised His people.
25 Now, Jesus supernaturally perceived their thoughts and motives, so he confronted them by telling them this parable:
“Any kingdom that fights against itself will end up in ruins. And any family or community splintered by strife will fall apart. 26 So if Satan casts out Satan, he is making war on himself. How then could his kingdom survive? 27 So if Satan empowers me to cast out demons, who empowers your exorcists to cast them out? Go ask them, for what they do proves you’re wrong in your accusations. 28 On the other hand, if I drive out demons by the power of the Spirit of God, then the end of Satan’s kingdom has come! 29 Who would dare enter the house of a mighty man and steal his property? First he must be overpowered and tied up by one who is stronger than he. Then his entire house can be plundered and every possession stolen.
30 “So join with me, for if you’re not on my side you are against me. And if you refuse to help me gather the spoils, you are making things worse. 31 This is why I warn you, for God will forgive people for every sin and blasphemy they have committed except one. There is no forgiveness for the sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. 32 If anyone speaks evil of me, the Son of Man, he can be forgiven; but if anyone contemptuously speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will never be forgiven, now or ever!”
Kingdom Key #3
Someone Full Of the devil Can’t cast Out Someone full Of the devil
Kingdom Key #4
In order to drive out a demon you need the Power Of The Spirit Of God ie Holy Ghost ie The Stronger Man..
Satan imitate’s God’s kingdom: There is nothing original about him..
God has a Church, so does satan, God has preachers of righteousness, satan has preachers of darkness.
God has prophets, satan has psychics, God has angels satan has demons, God has Seers satan has sooth sayer’s:
God Has The Holy Spirit Satan has a demonic Spirit.
The Holy Spirt Comes upon us and fills us in our Spirit, Satan takes possession of Souls or For Saved Holy Ghost Filled people he can’t Possess but he can oppress.
Daemoniac—one “possessed with a devil.” In the days of our Lord and his apostles, evil spirits, “daemons,” were mysteriously permitted by God to exercise an influence both over the souls and bodies of men, inflicting dumbness (Matt. 9:32), blindness (12:22), epilepsy (Mark 9:17–27), insanity (Matt. 8:28; Mark 5:1–5). Daemoniacs are frequently distinguished from those who are afflicted with ordinary bodily maladies (Mark 1:32; 16:17, 18; Luke 6:17, 18). The daemons speak in their own persons (Matt. 8:29; Mark 1:23, 24; 5:7). This influence is clearly distinguished from the ordinary power of corruption and of temptation over men. In the daemoniac his personality seems to be destroyed, and his actions, words, and even thoughts to be overborne by the evil spirit (Mark, l.c.; Acts 19:15).
The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, Revised I. Vocabulary of Oppression
“oppression,” and “oppressor.” The most common word is ʿāšaq, which usually signifies the oppressor’s enriching himself by violating a neighbor’s property rights. Thus in the law it is in a series with “fraud,” “robbery,” and “deception”
Demonic Oppression: Robbs of rest, peace, health, sound mind. It causes believers to wrestle with unforgiveness, bitterness etc.
The Best example is found with King Saul
14 Now the Spirit of the Lord had left Saul, and the Lord sent a tormenting spirit that filled him with depression and fear.
Kingdom Key #5
24 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. 25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. 26 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.
A Person will Except Jesus Christ, Repent of the sins, The Holy Spirit Comes in removes the strong man. Cleans the house as if her never lived there.
Then The Holy Spirt is waiting for your Tarry…
49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
So Many Christians have been deceived in thinking because they speak in a tongue or have a dance, and we prof-i-lie.. We have the Holy Ghost.
But folks be Mean as hell, folks be unforgiven, folks be judgmental… and have an agenda behind everything they do.
Holy Ghost Filled Christians Move Different: They are Soul Centered
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
So The Evil Spirit Circles Back, because he never left the neighborhood they remain in that region.. Bible says he comes back home and find it empty and swept clean..
He Doesn’t need Permission to reenter. But He comes with 7more worse strongman. And your worse than the first.
And If you never Knew why you need to tarry for the Holy Spirit. You Do Now!
offer Salvation & deliverance from that demon
Ask who needs to be filled or refreshed in the Holy Spirit Run up..
