And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided,

he cannot stand but hath an end. Mark 3:26

 

     In Braille code one to six dots are used to represent letters, punctuation, words, or to change a word. When the letter C stands alone it becomes the word can. But if you put dots 4-5-6 before the C it becomes the word cannot. Those three little dots wield much power, changing a positive into a negative.

    What else has such power? Three days. Over 2000 years ago, three days changed the course of human history. Jesus died, spent some time in a borrowed tomb and rose again, conquering death. He also conquered the devil changing what he can do, into what he cannot do in the life of the believer. For those who are in Christ, Satan no longer has the power to condemn. We are sinners saved by grace. Now that’s not an invitation to sin but an understanding that fallen man needs a covering.

      Satan hasn’t read the memo. He’s still going to try to condemn. And he’s not likely to change his game-plan like the scribes tried to insinuate he was doing. They said he was in cahoots with Jesus, letting Him cast out demons by the power of Satan. Satan has dominion for a season and you better believe he’s guarding that season ticket with all his might. Calvary changed what he can do but that does not mean he will stop trying. He will not let his kingdom be divided.

How will you let those three days change you? Only Jesus can and is willing to cast out the demons that seek to destroy you. He has already changed can to cannot and all He asks for in return is for you to trust Him.
