Your body is the house. The evil spirits that try to take over your body are the burglars. Watch and pray that you enter not into temptation. For the flesh is weak, but the spirit is willing. To gain strength needed to fight off the tempting spirits, acknowledge Jesus as the Lord who died in your place on the cross, and pray for him to pour his spirit into you. His Holy Spirit is the the strongest spirit there is, as he demonstrated during his perfect life, never sinning, always overcoming the temptations of the flesh. Which spirit will you allow to dwell in your temple? If it's not the Holy Spirit, then beware of the evil spirits that will come and take over your house.

For he may get up, gather his household, and arm them (i.e. selfs) before the burglars arrive.

 
Everyone already has Agency - use it.

This wording does not mean anything to me. Agency?

No man can overcome this world on his own. He needs the support of his God and Creator, who was made manifest in this world as Jesus Christ. Everyone can overcome the world if only they would repent and turn to Jesus for salvation.

Every person has the agency and the imperative to work reciprocally with fellow others. Here's how.
ICYMI, reciprocity is part of the Greatest Commandment

You did not explain your wording in a way I could understand.

I see the word "Agency" is in the CIA.... Central Intelligence Agency. I think they work against Jesus. Jesus explained the greatest commandment in a way that even a child could understand:

Love God above all and love your fellow man as yourself.

When you say "work reciprocally", what do you mean by that?

Jesus preached love over works. If you love other people, you will help them when you see they are in need. What kind of work are you talking about?

The links provided above are self-explanatory - if you are engaging in good faith.

My faith is in Jesus Christ the Lord. Is that good enough?

Justice - putting things right - if delayed, is justice denied
This is a test for any moral creed
