Strongholds

Some of us have strongholds in our life that keep us from serving God fully.  Strongholds are anything that keeps us out of God’s will for our lives.  It could be addiction, pride, lust, lack of faith or even a worldly outlook on life.

Our weapons against these strongholds are not physical.  Our warfare is spiritual in nature.  Our power to endure these attacks comes from God alone.  God’s plan is to demolish spiritual strongholds.

As Christians, sharing the gospel is not the only time we see resistance.  We can face demonic strongholds in our own lives, in our families, and even in our churches.

Deception is one of the primary weapons of the devil, because it is the building blocks for a stronghold.

To have a victorious life, it is very important to have a correct perception of God.  Get to know Him.  Keep the relationship going with continuous communication between you and God. 

If you’re mean and hard to get along with, this can hinder your relationship with God and block you from feeling God’s love and presence in your life.

Strongholds are birthed in deception from the devil.  Once you keep your focus on God’s word and the truth, you’re on your way to tearing down the strongholds in your life.

1 Corinthians 10:13 – “No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man.  God is faithful, and He will not let you be tempted beyond our ability, but with the temptation He will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.”
