Matthew 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

The Kingdom of Heaven is within, and comes not with observation as Jesus said. So what is causing it to suffer violence, and what is suffering violence? What is spoiling your house, which is the spirit? While people are busy claiming to be saved, and having the Holy Spirit within them, deceiving those who know no better, infecting minds with the leaven of doctrine, they neglect the details, and thus unknown to them, the Kingdom is taken by force and they continue to be held captive.

Genesis 6:11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.

Our minds full of unrighteousness which causes us to sin is the violence in the land, and that land is the spirit. The Kingdom of Heaven. Again, remembering that the Law and the Prophets are a shadow of good things to come but not the very image, the Earth is the spirit, that land. That spirit is full of the thoughts of our hearts, those beast of the field which spoil our land.

2 Samuel 22:2-4 And he said, The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence. I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

And the Father's revelations are the rock, which are not of flesh and blood but of the spirit of the Father in Heaven, and with them we build a fortress against the enemies, that which causes violence within our mind, those plagues which take the quietness of the land, and those forces unleashed from the gates of hell.

Matthew 16:17-18 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; (The word Church is a corruption of Ecclesia, which means to call out, so should read; Upon this rock, which is revelation, are those called out of the Earth) and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 

Jesus is the cornerstone of those called out by revelation, because he is the one that brought knowledge of revelation, which in other ages wasn't known to man, because the Father wasn't known to man. The Father who is in that secret place, in spirit, in thy closet within, that hiding place, where one should seek refuge from the lies and deceit of our own hearts.

Isaiah 28:16-17 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.

We are full of its mischief and sorrow, rage and anger, and all the Earthly thoughts which take away our peace, so let the Father righteousness, his gift to you overflow that place within.

Psalm 55:9-10 Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city. Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.

We must learn to go within in spirit, and seek the refuge of the Father. Being still and knowing God.

Matthew 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

We must learn to once again to bring peace to our city, and shutting those gates of hell so that we can dwell in that secret place of the Father, and there he can teach us his ways of righteousness in secret, ways which will enable us to fight off the wiles of our evil hearts which work wickedness in our city, which speak lies and deceives all people who dwell in it, poisoning our spirit and shutting our minds to the truth.

Psalm 58:2-4 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth. The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;

We must seek to bring about its end within us, so that it can no longer heard within us. We must stop buying its merchandise and selling it to others. Those graven images which we worship, those Earthly beliefs which rule over us must be destroyed. We must take hold of our spirit, and war against the soul and its thoughts which is in enmity against God. Ruler against ruler.

Jeremiah 51:45-49  My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the Lord. And lest your heart faint, and ye fear for the rumour that shall be heard in the land; a rumour shall both come one year, and after that in another year shall come a rumour, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler. Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will do judgement upon the graven images of Babylon: and her whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her. Then the heaven and the earth, and all that is therein, shall sing for Babylon: for the spoilers shall come unto her from the north, saith the Lord. As Babylon hath caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth.

We must come out of her so we stop receiving her plagues. Depression, anxiety, lust, deception, wrath, anger, hatred, deceit, lies, all the thing that come out of the heart of men and defiles us. We must war against them within us, with the knowledge of God, his revelations of righteousness as our armament.

Ephesians 6:11-17 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

We must use them to spoil her weapons of warfare against our spirit, and cast her out after much tribulation, because as said the war isn't against flesh and blood, but against that which does wickedness against the spirit with its fiery darts, which defiles our mind. We must endure to the end, and then like Jesus we can say.

John 14:30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.

This is an example of the Old Testament which is of the flesh being seen in a New way of the spirit, a language confounded since the beginning, so that none could reach the tree of life and live forever.

Leviticus 26:6-7 And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land. And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.
