Mark 3:25 And if a house be divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.
be divided = merizo Strong’s G3307
To separate into parts, be split into factions, to distribute a thing among people.
Matthew 12:25-26 25 And knowing their thoughts he said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: 26 and if Satan casteth out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom stand?
This is interesting what Jesus says here and what the Pharisees say. They see what is happening and say that Satan's kingdom is divided against itself, it is experiencing a "civil war", kind of like two cartels killing each other or even what is happening in the Ukraine. Many see Putin and Zelensky as being similar to two cartel members going against each other and destroying each other.
Romans 12:3 3 For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but so to think as to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to each man a measure of faith.
This word translated as "dealt" is the same word used in the previous verse we translate as "divided". The Lord has dealt out or distributed to each believer a measure of faith. Now when you were saved you were saved out of darkness, out of Satan's kingdom, and into the kingdom of light. So with each person being saved it can look like a "civil war" in Satan's kingdom. Even today we see this accusation being bandied about, that those who are standing for the Truth are accused of insurrection. They are called traitors who are destroying the "union". Obama is even urging that more stringent actions than simply censoring them take place. Joy Reid is also saying the same as are other Main Stream Media personalities.
1Corinthians 7:17 17 Only, as the Lord hath distributed to each man, as God hath called each, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all the churches.
But remember, when we stand for the truth, when we shine the light, it is bringing cracks to Satan's kingdom and it is evidence that Satan's kingdom can't stand. He cannot tolerate the saved speaking, preaching, shining a light, being salt, and so he must "cast them out" of his kingdom. But in so doing it is evidence that his kingdom cannot stand.
1Corinthians 7:34 34 and is divided. So also the woman that is unmarried and the virgin is careful for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married is careful for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
This is the first step in the apostasy, getting married to the world, becoming divided in your concerns between the Lord and the world. The church is supposed to be a faithful virgin for the Lord. Satan's attack is to divide and conquer, cause the church to become married to the world like Pergamos and then to divide the concerns of the believers so they care for the world.
So with that as a background let's return to the verses in Matthew about a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand and see the context of this word about the Lord "knowing their thoughts".
Matthew 12:22 Then was brought unto him [j]one possessed with a demon, blind and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the dumb man spake and saw. 23 And all the multitudes were amazed, and said, Can this be the son of David? 24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This man doth not cast out demons, but [k]by [l]Beelzebub the prince of the demons.
The Lord healed a man who was both blind and dumb. For example you may be a believer who has been saved. Before you never saw that Satan's kingdom was controlling the world, you were blind to that and as a result you were dumb, nothing to say. But now you see what is happening, you see the election fraud, you see that the plandemic is an act of war, you can see all kinds of evil with the Freemasons and other Satanic deep state operations. They mocked you concerning these things, concerning Hunter Biden's laptop, concerning Covid19 coming from a bioweapons lab, concerning the Georgia guidestones saying the ideal population is 500 million inferring they want to kill 7 billion people. But when it becomes clear that you can see and you can speak you get two responses: some see that this is the Lord and His return is imminent, others think this is Satan. That is bizarre, Jesus even points out how bizarre that would be. But it is a teaching of the freemasons, the reason their floors are black and white tiles is that they teach this, either you must appear very evil (like Putin) or you must appear very good (like an angel of light, like Dr. Fauci). Satan's strategy is to cause confusion so you can't tell who to believe and ultimately, like Pilate, you have no idea what truth is.
But this is what we are seeing right now, no one knows who to believe. Fair enough, but what you can conclude, like Jesus said, is if Putin and Zelensky are both part of Satan's kingdom and they are killing each other then it is indicative of the fact that Satan's kingdom can't stand. We can also conclude that if Satan over the last two thousand years has worked to divide and conquer the church by marrying it to the world, that Jesus also has worked for the last two thousand years to divide and conquer Satan's kingdom by saving people out of that kingdom, one by one, and distributing faith to each one so that when we speak it brings down Satan's kingdom. Finally we can also conclude that the Lord is not distributing faith to you, or me or anyone for the purpose of fighting against other believers, if He were dividing His kingdom against Himself then the church couldn't stand.
