IDENTIFYING
THE STRONGMAN
AN
UNCLEAN SPIRIT RETURNS
“When
an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he says, ‘I will
return to my house from which I come. And when he comes he finds it
empty, swept and in order.
Then
he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of
that man is worse than the first So shall it also be with this wicked
generation.” MATTHEW 12:43-45

WE MUST DEAL ALWAYS WITH THE STRONGMAN
- EVIL SPIRIT
“Or
else how can one enter a strong man`s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will
plunder his house.” MATTHEW 12:29
There are twelve strong men in the Bible. To each is connection with demons.
Demons
can be cast out, but when the strongman is inside, they will come back, and the
condition of the man is worse than before. We must deal with the Strongman
first.
First
Strong man in the Bible is in NUMBERS 5: 11 –
1.
Spirit of Jealousy.
When
there is a suspicion about anything there is the spirit of Jealousy.
PROVERBS
6: 34 - “For jealousy is the rage of the man.” Therefore he
will nor spare anybody under suspicion. Revenge is demon, but Jealousy is
Strongman.
Murder
is demon, rage is demon, competition is demon but Jealousy is the Spirit.
2.
Spirit of Lying - II
CHRONICLES 18: 22, JEREMIAH 23: 14
“They
commit adultery and walk in lies.” Adultery
is a demon from Spirit of Lying.
“They
all of them like Sodom.” It
is Spirit of homosexuality. Sodomy is connected.
Spirit
of Lies is the Strongman. There is the curse upon the lies. Profanity is bound
by Lying Spirit. Vanity is connected to the Spirit of Lies. Hypocrisy is also
from this.
If
you want to be really free - you should deal with the Lying Spirit. The same
Lying Spirit is in church as a Spirit of Religion. Continually condemning
others, standing higher than others, isolate themselves, only his group is
right, continually accuse you,
They
jump from church to church. Everybody is wrong; you can never win with them.
Everytime you talk, they always talk back with lies and untruth. Just avoid
them.
3.
Familiar Spirit - I Samuel 28:7
Word
Familiar means Friendly, and Familiar Spirit will manifest in Astrology. People
who follow the stars, they are bound by the Familiar Spirit. It is demonic.
Horoscopes, reading horoscopes. The Spirit bound lives. All forms of the
occult and witchcraft.
4.
Spirit of Perversion - ISAIAH
19: 14. Perversion is also PROVERBS 13: 2
To
prevent means to twist the truth, to corrupt, to turn the truth around. It does
apply to all sexual perversions as homosexuality and bestiality. Lust after
women is also with Spirit of Perversion, and uncontrolled leads to oppression,
which needs deliverance.
5.
Spirit of Heaviness - ISAIAH 61:6.
Devil
of grief, of self pity, of rejection, loneliness, gluttony. People are bound
with rejection and self pity.
6.
Spirit of Harlotry - HOSEA 4:12;
There are six strongman by name:
Idolatries,
Love of world, love of money, love of self, fornication, prostitution. The
people in harlot and prostitution are associated with devil and his kingdom.
Nobody
is satisfied with prostitute. It is no satisfaction in sex with a harlot.
7.
Spirit of Infirmity - LUKE
13:11
All
sicknesses, every disease known to human, behind is the Spirit of Infirmity.
8.
Deaf and Dumb Spirit. - MARK
9: 17
Dumb
and deaf Spirit tormented young boy, giving him suicidal thoughts, Spirit tormented
him. It is demon of suicide in the dumb and deaf spirit. Jesus set him free. We
must deal with the Spirit of Infirmity first as Strongman.
9.
Spirit of Fear - II TIMOTHY
1:7
Spirit
of Fear first torment inside the body. Fear has tormentor, so those who are
tormented, they are afraid and have sense of danger. You say to your children:
Do not Fear. Just trust the LORD at all times and everything will be OK. Our
God said:
Fear
not, I am with You. It is sign of unbelief, when you start to fear. Fear is:
torment, terror, nightmares, worry and all come by devil of fear.
10.
Spirit of Pride - PROVERBS
16:18
Spirit
of Pride manifest with mockery, stubbornness. Witchcraft is in the same line. Pride
and witchcraft are relatives. Gossip, arrogance, self-righteousness, wrath. In
wrath is the pride of man.
11.
Spirit of Bondage - ROMANS 8:5
“We
have no received the Spirit of Bondage, but Spirit of Adoption.”
When
you cannot call on God - it is the very first symptom. You try but cannot pray
to God. People who try to pray, but can`t break through because they are bound
by Spirit of Bondage. They cannot call God Father. They cannot say Father in
Jesus` Name. They have no feeling for fellowship. In the Bondage is found anguish,
bitterness, all types of addiction to drugs, to cigarettes, to alcohol.
12.
Spirit of Antichrist - I
JOHN 4:3
Controlling
spirit is spirit of Antichrist. We are dealing here with this strong man.
It
is legalism, opposing the men of God, opposing teaching, opposing speaking in
tongues, speaking against the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, substitutes everything,
opposing and prosecuting saints, blasphemy against saints. It is controlling
others Spirit
We
always should deal with the Strongman and bind them in the Name of Jesus. In
MATTHEW 12:29 Jesus said very clearly to religious Pharisees’:
“Or
else how can one enter the strong man`s house and plunder his goods, unless he
first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house.”

SPEAK TO THE ROCK
Speak to the ROCK…
“…and speak ye unto the
rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring
forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and
their beasts drink”.(Numbers 20 vs 8).
When it was time for God to
give water to the Israelites, God told Moses to speak to the rock so that it
may bring forth water.
The Word “SPEAK” as used in
that Scripture is derived from the Hebrew Word “DABAR”. One of the meanings of
“DABAR” is “TO ARRANGE”. So, what Moses was going to say had the capacity to
arrange whatsoever that had gone out of order.
There was a scattered
situation in front of Moses, and his declaration was meant to arrange it.
Friend, God says, your
positive declarations will make Divine arrangements on your behalf. Your
prophetic declarations will arrange the things that are scattered in your life.
Your Words have the ability to create and arrange the future you desire.
Watch what you say! Speak
life and not death! Bless and not curse! Let Positivity flow from your mouth
and not negativity. Speak life to every circumstance around you that is
scattered, be it your health condition, marital status, financial situation,
career, business etc.
Remember, God said, “Speak
ye unto the rock and before their eyes; it shall give water”. God himself
guaranteed that the speaking of Moses will force the rock to give water: As you
make positive confessions and declarations over your life, the heavens will
hear your voice, and there shall be a response on earth.
Pray with me, “Lord, may my
prophetic confessions make Divine arrangements that will yield results in Jesus
name”

EVERY STONE STANDING BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR SUCCESS IS ROLLED

* THE STONE OF REJECTION AND LACK OF FAVOUR
* THE STONE OF NEAR SUCCESS SYNDRONE

***IN THE NAME OF
JESUS THEY ARE TAKEN AWAY.
TAKE AWAY THE STONE
Take Ye
Away The Stone
Lazarus had been dead four days. Jesus worked this great miracle
to prove that he truly is the Son of God. I would like to borrow the
expression, "Take ye away the stone" and apply it in a different,
but appropriate, way.
In New Testament times when a cave or carved out tomb was
prepared for the dead, a large round wheel shaped stone was carved to cover
the entrance. The wheel-like stone was often four or five feet in diameter.
Obviously it would weigh several hundred pounds and require the combined
strength of several men to move it. Hence, the great round stone sealed the
opening of the tomb and separated the living from the dead.
Stones
Separating Men From God
The Scriptures describe those who are not Christians as
"the living dead." The word "death" means separation.
And, so all who are not Christians are said to be spiritually dead since they
are separated from God by their sins (Isa. 59:1-2).
This separation from God could end if certain "stones"
were rolled away.
(1) In some cases the stone of ignorance needs to be rolled
away. It is tragic that so many far and near, know so little about the Bible
and Jesus. How sad for millions to live and die without ever understanding
how Jesus died to extend to one and all the opportunity of salvation (John
3:16).
(2) With others the great barrier to salvation is the stone of
prejudice! Often mis-informed or un-informed people become offended or
antagonistic toward the Church or religion in general. It is sad to realize
that countless multitudes will spend eternity in a devil's hell because some
stone of prejudice became a mental barrier that kept them from ever realizing
the love that God has for them (Acts 2:38).
(3) From time to time we find self-righteousness is the stone
that needs to be taken away. The Bible teaches that salvation is by grace
through faith. "It is the gift of God." However, the gift is not
unconditional. Sinners must believe in Jesus, repent of their sins, confess
that Jesus is the Messiah and be baptized for the remission of sins. Indeed
it is sad when so many reject God's simple way and suppose they can work or buy
or serve or suffer their way into heaven (Rom. 6-3-8).
To lose one's soul is to lose all. To save one's soul is the
ultimate victory. For the sake of your own eternal welfare, we implore you to
roll aside anything and everything that stands between you and a proper
relationship with the Almighty.
Stones
Affecting The Indifferent
Jesus taught another lesson. He was about to call the dead back
to life (which no man could do). But, mortals could roll aside the stone -
and this they were commanded to do. Hence, we see the principle that God will
do for man that which is beyond his power; but, man must do his part by
responding to the grace of God. Man must do for himself all that he
is,capable of doing.
The principle can be applied today to church members who have
grown cold and drifted back into the world. It is obvious that real or
imagined barriers separate them from God. Anything standing between man and
God should be removed at once. Some such "stones" that need to be
rolled away are:
(1) Anything that hinders a lack of spiritual growth and
development.
a. "Desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow
thereby" (1 Pet. 2:2).
b. "Study to show theyself approved unto God" (2 Tim.
2:15).
c. "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness"
(Matt. 5:6). The Bible says faith comes from hearing the word of God (Rom.
10:17). We suggest that one's faith can only be maintained and sustained by
continued study.
(2) Anything that hinders total commitment and genders
indifference.
a. "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of
God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto
God, which is your reasonable service" (Rom. 12:1).
b. "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast,
unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord" (1 Cor. 15:58).
(3) Anything that hinders church attendance and worship.
a. "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves
together" (Heb. 10:25).
b. "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the
world . . . the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth
the will of God abideth forever" (1 John 2:15-17).
Roll the stone away. Worship this Sunday with the church of
Christ.
