Mar 3:25 “And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
Mar 3:26 “And if Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand, but has an end.
Mar 3:27 “No one can enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man, and then he will plunder his house.
The scribes were of the opinion that Jesus was casting out demons using the power of Beelzebub, the Prince of demons. In other words, they wanted to convince the people that Jesus was casting out demons through the power and authority of Satan. By alleging so, they were irrationally trying to reject the evidence that was before them.
But Jesus explained how doing so would have been counterproductive ; Satan could not undo his own evil work. The strong man is Satan and the house is his domain. In order to free the demon possessed, Christ had to enter the strong man’s house , bind Satan and release the captive.
In the warfare with Satan and his demons, we must learn to invade the “strong man’s house”( domain), bind him and release what is rightfully ours. We have been given power and authority to undo the evil schemes of the enemies and release the captives from their captivity. 2Co 10:4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,
