S – How can someone enter a strong man’s house and steal his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can plunder his house.

Matthew 12:29 CSB

O – Jesus is answering the question with a strong answer – he can cast out demons because He defeated the devil in his own temptation.  Jesus is acting as the Son of God because that is who He is.  Another reason for the religous leaders not to like him.

A – We need to live from a place of victory like Jesus.  He already beat satan and death.  When we operate from victory it changes our perspective and faith.

 R – Lord, thank you for the victory that comes in knowing you.  Help us to walk and live from that place today.  Allow us to see into the spiritual realm and follow the leading of your Holy Spirit.
