But when one stronger than he attacks and overpowers him, he takes from him all his weapons, he trusted in, and divides up his plunder.
Luke 11:22
The strong man may protect his house very well. But, when faced with a stronger adversary, even he will be conquered. Thus it is with Satan. Jesus is able to overpower him and taken his weapons away.
It is interesting how Jesus details this illustration. It shows that the old devil thinks he can trust in the means by which he has power. But, he finds out that Jesus is well able to take these things from Satan’s hands.
Heavenly Father, thank You for delivering us from the power of darkness, and for bringing us into the kingdom of Your Son. You are good and holy beyond all imagination. I will praise You for ever for Your faithfulness and truth. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
