“Fallen men without the operations of the Spirit of God, are under the rule
of Satan. They are led captive by him at his will (2 Timothy
2:26). So long as this ‘strong man fully armed’ is not molested by
the ‘stronger than he,’ he keeps his kingdom in peace and his captives willingly
do his bidding. But the ‘stronger than he’ has overcome him, taken his armor
from him, and has liberated a part of his captives (Luke 11:21–22).
God now exercises the right of releasing whom He will; and all born again
Christians are ransomed sinners from that kingdom.”
