As a counsellor I see the power of strongholds sometimes called a home for thoughts in our heads as the greatest problem people face. At some point in their lives they have believed a lie or several lies. These lies must be replaced with the truth of God that we may be free indeed. Satan as the Father of all lies will allways use that weapon. Our greatest weapon is truth.
This is a revelational scripture for us to know that we need to fight using the spritual weapons which are very potent in God to overcome stronghold of darkness and the devil.The bible talks about the whole world lying in WICKEDNESS and that the secret place of this world is the habitation of CRUELTY!So to survive in this kind of world we must not war after the flesh but engage in spritual warfare using our mighty spritual weapons on a daily basis for we fight against a tireless and relentless enemy--- that old serpent!we shall remain victorious in Jesus Name.Halleluyah!
The word of God spoken, prayed and believed, have received, in faith is our supernatural spiritual unseen means of overcoming all things and in the name of Jesus!
Obedience is a requirement if we need a Godly intervention in our life or we want God to revenge our enemies.What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Roman 6 1
Paul is speaking to a rebelious people about the reality of warfare. When we believe in Jesus with all our hearts we must also believe His word which in John 16 33 says that in this world we will have tribulation but be of good cheer I have overcome the world. Wow! Jesus assures us that we need not fear about the logistics of how we will overcome our adversity but that through Him we have blessed assurance that victory is ours. 3 things pray seek God 1st the bible says in james 4 7 Submit yourself to God resist the devil and He shall flee. 2nd Allow the Word of God to work in You like never before surround yourself with psalms when you feel defeated ignore that and resite I am more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus who strengthens me. 3rd have faith! It is impossible to please God without faith. Face your enemy head on and know that Through Jesus we wear the victors crown! Be blessed.
brethren there is no war that can fail our God if only we used right weapons for fighting our weapons are not carnal therefore we need to use faith acting upon the word of God then shall we see the devils strongholds being destroyed in Jesus name
The verse tells us that the means of warring against the devil and his evil forces is not done through material psychological philosophical nor by intellectual means but the war is done by God and His Spirit and once understood it is so powerful to the pulling down of the devil s towers
Only our complete obedience as individual believer and as church as a whole will earn us our blessings, breakthroughs and desired victories from God. We must focus on fulfilling our part of the divine covenant - OBEDIENCE; God will never fail in His.
The weapons of our warfare are not Carnal but mighty through God; therefore this means we need to grow in the might of God by diligently studying His word and enriching ourselves in the knowledge of the word. God and His word are one, with the application of the power in God's word We are able to pull down Strongholds/Fortress of the wicked
It is offensive for us to compete with each other in any manner. There is no place for such wordliness amongst God's servants. Do we not all serve the same God? Is not all of our goals the same one. To glorify the one True and Living God!
We need the Holy Spirit to understand the fact that we are not fighting for Victory but from the victory handed to us through the finished work of HHe that love us and give Himself for us.
The mind is the measure of a man. If we have reformation in our thinking,we will have reformation in our actions.Reformation takes place when the Holy Spirit brings oneness with Christ's thoughts. When that happens, our reformed actions will follow.
A man's mind is complicated and we tend to gather evil thoughts thereby adding to the difficulty of serving our Master. After careful study we see that the first stronghold mentioned is the imagination.
We are fighting everyday, a battle that has already been won. We desperately need Gods word to help us fight the flesh, our desires, our short comings must be lifted up to God. He fights for us.
Empowered by God. No one can take what God has given us; especially joy which comes only from God. I no longer have to fight with mere words because I have the Power of the Holy Spirit and the Blood of Jesus which covers me in all battles of the mind, money, people, family, societal pressures; satan's trickery....
He who is in us is greater than he who is in the world.God has given us in Christ power and authority to overcome all the powers of the devil.We are victors not victims.
THE SCIPTURE TALKS ABOUT THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT BEING THE WORD. IT ALSO TALKS ABOUT WRESTLING NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD BUT AGAINST PRINCIPALITIES ect WHATEVER IS IN YOUR LIFE AND KEEPING YOU HELD DOWN IS NOT OF GOD. SPEAK HIS WORD
