Christ has given a command to the church:
“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." Mark 16:15-18
God's design for the church is to plunder hell to populate heaven!
How can we plunder the kingdom of darkness on a day-to-day basis?
- Bind the strong man
- We can render him powerless
- We can handcuff him
- Plunder all his goods
- We tend to entertain portions of darkness
- In our home
- In our life
- In our heart
- We excuse it by saying, "that's not too much"
Read my post about that right here: How Much Sin is Too Much?
How do you bind the strong man?
- Understand that you have authority
- There is no place in the kingdom of darkness that can withstand
- The church that understands who it is in Christ
- And kingdom authority they have
- You don't have to put up with it
- You can crush every kingdom of darkness
- Understand where your authority comes from
- Jesus gave us authority to bind
- Jesus gave us authority to loose
- Understand the authority you have James5:13 (elijah)
- Ask God to show you the strong man
- Call the strong man by name
- Loose the person you're praying for to freedom
- Do prophetic acts
- Anoint their bed with oil
- Walk your neighborhood
"Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours..." James 5:13-17a
