Bible Reading: Luke 11:21-22, Ephesians 6:10-14.
Memory verse: For our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against authorities and powers, against the world-rulers of this dark night, against the spirits of evil in the heavens. Ephesians 6:12 (BBE)
The rulers of the darkness of this world referred to in Ephesians 6:12 is what is referred to as a “Strongman”. A “strongman” is the principal demon in charge of a family, place, person, or thing. They could be described as high ranked demon-soldier in charge of many other demons which they give instructions to carry out.
My heart bled as I heard a minister of God give this testimony. Five sisters had a common problem – no marriage! The youngest was 35 years old and the oldest 59 years old. How sad! (Don’t deceive yourself, deliverance is real.)
They ran for deliverance when they got tired of their situation. God showed the youngest a revelation where she saw the five (5) of them in white wrapper tied around their waists; and standing before a king, seated on a throne. This evil king claimed they all were his wives.
That is an evil king called “a Strongman” sitting on his evil throne surrounded by these five sisters whom he is spiritually married to. Only Jesus, who is stronger than any evil king according to our text is capable of unseating this strongman; and set his evil palace ablaze. May every strongman sitting on your academic glory, family finances and any area of your life be unseated by fire, in Jesus’ name.
Action Word: Fight The Good Fight Of Fight.
Prayer Points: I recommend the following deliverance prayers. Pray with power and fire. Make sure you reconcile your ways with God, and plead the blood of Jesus (7 times) before you pray these prayers:
- Fire of deliverance, come into the foundation of my life, in the name of Jesus.
- I paralyze every strongman in any area of my life, in the name of Jesus.
- Ancestral strongman limiting my family, die by fire, in the name of Jesus.
- Curses and covenant strengthening affliction in my life, break by fire, in the name of Jesus. (Use your hands to break them).
- Let the palace of the strongman, catch fire, in the name of Jesus.
- I recover my glory, blessings and all that the strongman has stolen from me, in Jesus’name.
