📖 Luke 11:14-23
*Engaged in warfare against the kingdom of satan* _Luke 11:14-23_
We need to be clear that we are people of the kingdom of Jesus and so there can be nothing in us that is of satan's kingdom - There can be no dual citizenship - vs - 18-19
Luk 11:23 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.
The problem of our sin has been dealt with and we are now part of the kingdom of God, where we are waging war against the kingdom of darkness - Col 2:13-15 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, (14) having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. (15) Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.
1Jn 3:8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.
God is waging war against the kingdom of satan:
Isa 63:1-4 Who is this who comes from Edom, With dyed garments from Bozrah, This One who is glorious in His apparel, Traveling in the greatness of His strength?— "I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save." (2) Why is Your apparel red, And Your garments like one who treads in the winepress? (3) "I have trodden the winepress alone, And from the peoples no one was with Me. For I have trodden them in My anger, And trampled them in My fury; Their blood is sprinkled upon My garments, And I have stained all My robes. (4) For the day of vengeance is in My heart, And the year of My redeemed has come.
We are now with Him in His kingdom and our warfare is aginst the kingdom of satan: 2Co 10:3-6 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. (4) For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, (5) casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, (6) and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.
