And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass when the devil was gone out, the dumb spoke; and the people wondered. But some of them said, He casts out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils. And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven. But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a house divided against a house falls. If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? Because you say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub. And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore shall they be your judges. But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God comes upon you. When a strong man armed keeps his palace, his goods are in peace: But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he takes from him all his armor wherein he trusted, and divides his spoils. He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathers not with me scatters.
Luke 11:14-22
Sometimes we overcome situations in our lives and don't realize that God is speaking to us about what overcoming really is?....Our faith in God is overcoming our obstacles because those that do know their God shall be strong and do exploits...If God be for you, who and what can be against you? The dumb spoke and the people wondered, sometimes you just have to open your mouth...Amen.
