WHO IS THE STRONG MAN?
- One who created a system where you can operate without fulfilling your destiny.
- One who breaks into your house and plunders your goods.
- One who uses his position of strength to oppress, afflict and torment you.
- One who, for every act of goodness, demand a sacrifice that is greater than what you have.
- In the story of the King and his two servants (Matthew 24:45-51), the one who cries wolf but is first to devour his debtors.
- One who rises against you when you stand for the truth.
- One who will not give you what belongs to you.
- One who sits in the chair meant for you.
- One who is jealous that you achieved what they could not.
- One who claims to love you but keep you a prisoner of their system, to keep you from growing.
- One who claims to help you but keep you dependent on them.
- One who chooses not to support you, knowing very well the mandate you are to achieve is greater.
- One who will use your flaws to maltreat you, keeping you from the path of redemption which Jesus Christ freely gave to us.
- There is the chosen one and the dependable one. Here the strong man is one who wants everyone to idolize them.
- One who never gives you rope to pull yourself up.
- This One will make you live in fear, ever conscious of the power and subjection he/she holds over you so that you feel like you are incapable of progressing in life. This One even tells themselves that they are helping you when they truly know that they are oppressing you so that they can control your supposed destiny.
- This One particularly just can't wait to find a good reason to attempt to destroy your life...
You know them.
The Strong Man does more..... shows mercy for selfish gain rather than out of love, So the Strong Man Must Be Bound In the Name of Jesus, no matter the nature of the Man (spiritual, physical, systemic). This Man must be bound.
