The biggest weapon that Satan has to use against Christ followers is deception through division. If he can divide us we will fall. Christ within believers is the only hope for the Church and in the unity of Holy Spirit we can do all things. Sin in the form of pride and hatred binds us to the power of darkness.
The same is true of all nations that divide themselves.
Mark 3:23-26
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.
Jesus’ reply in parables was actually a threefold message that contrasted unity and disunity. Nothing—including Satan’s kingdom—can stand if it is divided. NKJ Bible.
Matthew 12:25 | But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.
Matthew 12:26 | If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?
Matthew 12:27 | And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges.
Matthew 12:28 | But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.
Matthew 12:29 | 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.
