“The Strong Man: Who’s in Control?” Matthew 12:29 (NIV) “Or again, how can anyone enter a strong man’s house and carry off his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can plunder his house.” Mark 3:27 (NIV) “In fact, no one can enter a strong man’s house without first tying him up. Then he can plunder the strong man’s house.” What strongholds in your life need to be bound so that Jesus can bring true freedom? 1: There’s a Over Your Life — Who’s in ? “Or again, how can anyone enter a strong man’s house and carry off his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can plunder his house.” (Matthew 12:29) Jesus didn’t just come to fight the strong man — He came to win. You can’t be set free if you refuse to let go of what’s binding you. 2: You Can’t the Strong Man — You Need Jesus "In fact, no one can enter a strong man’s house without first tying him up. Then he can plunder the strong man’s house."(Mark 3:27) Spiritual freedom isn’t just about breaking chains — it’s about walking in victory. “The devil is a lion, but he is a chained lion.” — Charles Spurgeon Sin will take you farther than you want to go, keep you longer than you want to stay, and cost you more than you want to pay. 3: Once the Strong Man is , You Must the House “When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order.” (Matthew 12:43-44) A house left empty will always be filled with something — make sure it’s Jesus. True deliverance isn’t just about escaping sin — it’s about being filled with God. Identify the Strong Man. Let Jesus Set You Free. Fill Your Life with Christ. "The Strong Man: Who’s in Control?”
