HOUSE DIVIDED

Written in the Bible, it is illustrated that God divided light from darkness; water from land, the earth was split in to many nations, and the land by lot was given unto tribes of men as their inheritance.  Within their houses was a separation of powers.  This “refers to the division of government responsibilities into distinct branches to limit any one from exercising the core functions of another.”  When order rules and not confusion, there are checks and balances that prevent the concentration of power.  However, when there is confusion brought about by evil men, the thoughts of the people who follow them are no longer their own.

 

As evil influence consume the thoughts of scores of men, they become as a demon, group of demons, or legion.  Unified in their ideology as though they were one named Legion; for there are many.  In the Book of Mark, the Legion of demons beseeched Jesus to allow their unclean spirits to come out of man, and enter into the swine, where they ran down a steep place into the sea, and were choked by the water.  Today, for those controlled by the devil, who now want to sit and be clothed in your right mind, plead to God for a second chance, that He may rid you out of the hands of the enemy, and deliver you to His Father again.

 

For it is by divine wisdom that a house is built, and by understanding it is established.  Jesus asked, “How can Satan cast out Satan?”  We are told in the Bible “if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.”  Matthew 12:25 read, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation;” Luke 11:17 say’s, “a house divided against a house falleth.”  Satan will not cast himself out of our house; we must beseech our Lord and Savior to exorcize and cast him out of our house, city, and nation.  Mark 3:26; “And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.”  A divided nation under evil rule will receive “the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.”
