If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

"But the teachers of religious law who had arrived from Jerusalem said, “He’s possessed by Satan, the prince of demons. That’s where he gets the power to cast out demons.”  (Mark 3: 22 NLT)

Two days ago, we reflected on how the relatives of Jesus said, "He is out of his mind."   (Mark 3: 21)

Today, we see a more serious charge against Jesus.   What do you know about spiritual warfare?  Reality or fiction?  We battle against evil everywhere.   St Peter teaches authoritatively "Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour."  (1 Peter 5: 8 NLT)  Do not be the one that is devoured.

Leave no open doors for the evil spirits.  One enters and invites all his buddies.  In the battle for Jesus, do not fear the words of the godless.   Trust and surrender and obey.
