Mark 3:23-27

The one objective of Satan is to divide followers of Jesus Christ. If he can get us to concentrate on our differences more than our sameness he wins and we lose. We need to place less importance on the doctrines of men and the social issues that we disagree on and focus on the One who matters. 

United  by the power of the Holy Spirit there is nothing we cannot accomplish!

Whoever defeats Satan must be stronger than he. Jesus implies that He Himself has come to enter the house of the strong man, Satan, to seize his goods

united |yo͞oˈnītid|
adjective
joined together for a common purpose

unite |yo͞oˈnīt|
verb
come or bring together for a common purpose or action
  • come or bring together to form a unit or whole
  • [ with obj. ] archaic join in marriage.

ORIGIN late Middle English: from Latin unit- ‘joined together,’ from the verb unire, from unus ‘one.’



Mark 3:23-27
23 So He called them to Himself and said to them in parables: “How can Satan cast out Satan? 24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. 26 And if Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand, but has an end. 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.

29 Or how can one enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house. 
Matthew 12:29

He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. 


1 John 3:8
