2 Cor 10:3-5
Mat 16:21-23
Strongholds - where the enemy is entrenched.
+Illustration: think of a map of a country in war and how strongholds in some areas of the country will result in a different way of life for whoever lives there. Now think about your mind and how the enemy might have strongholds in your mind.
How do strongholds develop?
1) Long standing, secret sins. 2) Through society and culture that is anti the Word. 3) Spiritual starvation. 4) Mental or emotional trauma.
Confess your sins to each other so you may be healed. James 5:6
How do you know you have a stronghold?
If you can't hear, receive, accept & apply... Truth. When people are resistant and justify their actions and behavior.
How do we tear down strongholds?
By divine power (see Corinthians above).
Any stronghold can be destroyed if you use the right weapon... A sudden demolition, not a long battle.
Lastly, we all have some stronghold. And we all have to learn to take every thought captive.
