What Is A Strongman Spirit?
A strongman spirit is a high-ranking principality spirit. They sit on thrones in the spirit realm and rule over the evil demonic spirits that operate in the earth realm. These spirits can rule over certain geographical areas of the earth. Strongman spirits can operate in churches as a ruling spirit. They can be passed down through family generations and also dwell within an individual. We must always remember that our fight happens in the spirit realm. Our fight is not against people. Our battle is against principalities, powers, the rulers of the darkness of this world and against spiritual wickedness in high places. These are the demonic spirit forces that have set up thrones in the second heaven to block to our prayers to God and from receiving our answers. These forces block our prayers, our deliverance and our freedom.
Ephesians 6:12
Our fight is not against people on earth. We are fighting against the rulers and authorities and the powers of this world’s darkness. We are fighting against the spiritual powers of evil in the heavenly places.

How Does Strongman Spiritual Warfare Occur?
A strongman can gain access when there has been a door left open for the devil to gain access. When the enemy has gained entrance to a certain area, a strongman or a ruling spirit will be in control. Lesser evil spirits will follow as manifestations of the strongman, but to get rid of the evil spirits, you must first start at the root by dealing with the strongman. In order to be free from these strong men, deliverance must take place and you must bind the strongman and loose the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 12:28-29
But I use the power of God’s Spirit to force out demons, and this shows that God’s kingdom has come to you. Whoever wants to enter a strong man’s house and steal his things must first tie him up. Then they can steal the things from his house.
The word tells us that when the strongman Satan is fully armed and guards his palace, his possessions are safe until someone even stronger attacks and overpowers him, strips him of his weapons, and carries off his belongings. We have been given authority from Jesus to go into the enemy’s camp and bind him up and take away his goods. These goods include our marriages, our children, our businesses, our churches and most important lost souls. Anything that the devil has stolen from us is ours to go in and take back. The Bible says that the Kingdom of Heaven has been forcefully advancing,and violent people are attacking it. We have been allowed to advance upon the enemy and take back the goods under the protection of Jesus Christ.

Jesus has given us the keys to bind and loose. Whatever we bind on earth shall be bound in heaven and whatever we loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. We bind them from operating while we loose the gifts of Holy Spirit to come in and take over. We loose the gifts and workings of Holy Spirit to set captives free, bring light into darkness, remove the chains that have us bound and to proclaim freedom.
Matthew 18:16
And I tell you this—whatever you bind on earth is bound in heaven, and whatever you free on earth will be freed in heaven.
