The Alpha of the Strength of Jesus

UV 3159/10000 The Alpha of the Strength of Jesus
Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.
Matthew 12 v 29
Jesus was, physically, no weakling. Scripture says that He did not even break a reed. He was not portrayed as a six pack hero. Yet, His strength and determination were supernatural. It is written that He set His face like flint and moved towards the cross, to complete the most difficult mission of His sojourn on Earth. His spiritual strength is awesome. He stripped satan of his power by His death and resurrection. It is the same power that is now at work in us to make us victorious. We have the strength in Christ to bind or tie all the strength of the enemy of our souls.
We can bind or tie the power of the enemy to hurt us, to harm us, to deceive us. We can enter his house or the spiritual realm and crush his minions or agents under the heel of our faith for greater is He that is in us than he that is with them. We can ransack or recover the things that we have lost to the enemy in the past, our health, our peace, our relationships, our hope, the abundant and eternal life. For Jesus gave us this amazing promise and power, “Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven and whatever you bind in heaven will be bound on earth.” “Whatever we release or loose on earth will be released in heaven and whatever we release in heaven will be released on earth.” We are given the power to break the weapons of the enemy, to neutralise his strength against us.
The joy of salvation is compared in the book of Isaiah as the joy of the spoils of victory in battle. We take back what belongs to us and we also take what belongs to the enemy. In the case of earthly kings, spoils could be treasure, territory, people and so on. In the realm of the spiritual it is the breaking of curses, the release of blessings, the healing of bodies, minds, relationships and nations, the salvation of our kith and kin, the salvation of our foes and enemies. We rejoice as the Lord vindicates us. He reveals His power and strength through us. A strong one always finds someone stronger who arrives on the scene to take over from him. Is there any limit to the strength and power of Jesus? Nothing is too hard or impossible for the Lord. As Paul writes, we can accomplish anything and everything through the power of Jesus working in us.
