You Can Take Absolute Control Of Your Life Through Prayer!
When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace. But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armor wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils” Luke 11:21-22.
There are two applications to this scripture. First, Satan is the strong man who kept the palace. He had everything his way until Jesus defeated him at Calvary. Second, notice that Satan is totally unarmed—Jesus has stripped him of all his armor. To share in the victory of Christ at Calvary, we must first bind the strong man. Who is the strong man in this text? He is Satan’s representative over a nation, over a people, over a state, over a city, over a family or over a person. The powers and principalities are that well organized. Your problems are not with people. Your problems are with supernatural powers that control people.
Is your husband a drinker? Say, “Lord Jesus, in the authority of your name, I bind that alcoholic spirit that drives my husband. I ask you to make him as sick as a dog the next time he picks up that bottle.”
That’s an illustration of binding. Here’s an illustration of loosing. In Luke 13 there was a woman who had been bent over for 18 years. Jesus said, “Ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, these eighteen years, be loosed form this bond?” Luke 13:16. So you attack sickness like this. “Lord Jesus, in the power of your name, by the shed blood of your cross, I loose from this infirmity. Be healed in Jesus’ name.” And that disease has to let go in Jesus’ name.”
If your relatives are bound by alcoholism…by drug addiction…by adultery…by fornication…by bitterness…by resentment…by prejudice…by idolatry…by Satanism…by witchcraft…by the occult…by Eastern philosophies…by mind control…loose them in Jesus’ name. Agree with another believer. Put on the whole armor of God and pierce the darkness through prayer.
