The power of God, referring to ( Exodus 8:19 ) and so the Cabalistic Jews ^F18 explain it,

``the finger is one of the five in the hand, and is that finger which works by the power of Elohim;''

it is the same with the Spirit of God; (See Gill on Matthew 12:28) which is often called the hand of the Lord, ( Ezekiel 1:3 ) ( 3:22 ) ( 37:1 ) ( 40:1 ) .

Luke 11:20 In-Context

18 Now, if Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom last? I say this because you say Beelzebul helps me force demons out of people.

19 If I force demons out with the help of Beelzebul, who helps your followers force them out? That's why they will be your judges.

20 But if I force out demons with the help of God's power, then the kingdom of God has come to you.

21 "When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own mansion, his property is safe.

22 But a stronger man than he may attack him and defeat him. Then the stronger man will take away all the weapons in which the strong man trusted and will divide the loot.
