MFM Daily Devotional for 20 March 2022 MESSAGE
Who is a strong man from the spiritual point of view? He is that strong spiritual personality that delights in putting the souls of men into captivity. He is a principality. He is also an evil spiritual personality that controls a spiritual stronghold with every available weapon of darkness to hold his prisoners in place.
Just as it is not easy in the physical sense to disarm a man that is stronger than one, the same applies to the spiritual situation of an individual who is in the captivity of the strong man. It takes a stronger personality to pull down his stronghold, disarm him and liberate the prisoners and their goods. The strong man, in this instance, is this cohort of the devil who is holding down men under bondage and untold hardship. The stronger than him is Jesus!
How do you identify the strong man and his operations in a man’s life? The identification marks include: the activities of ancestral powers, wicked elders, satanic monitoring officers, satanic police officers, and all related evil personalities. The strong man is the one that enforces evil inheritances, evil family patterns, satanic transactions and evil cycles in a lineage even unto generations. He is in charge of financial losses, bankruptcy and debts. He also enforces marital distress, tragedies and disasters, stagnancy and limitations, poverty and all such.
The strong man is an unrepentant wicked personality; flesh and blood cannot overcome him; he is best handled by the Strongest Man, Jesus, according to Philippians 2:9. Interestingly, Jesus has already disarmed and triumphed over the strong man by His death on the Cross, according to Colossians 2:13-14. This divine privilege is available for all those that love God and have surrendered their lives to Jesus, proclaiming Him Lord and Saviour.
Physical and spiritual liberty is possible through Christ Jesus; embrace it and be set free today from every stronghold of darkness, in Jesus’ Name.
