Strongholds?

"One who is wise can go against the city of the mighty and pull down the strongholds in which they trust" Proverbs 21:22


Yesterday morning, the Lord really impressed upon my heart the importance of pulling down strongholds. Many people trust many things that are not God Himself. This is not the way that it should be. God is trustworthy & faithful.

In the world that we live it, there are many things available to put your trust in. All of these things are false. Nothing that you trust in, aside from God, will save you. You need God. Anything you have heard contradicting that is a lie! Rebuke all lies. No longer believe them (Regardless of what you have heard, you have a choice whether to receive the lies or not... my advice: Do not receive them-come on, they are lies).

First off, let us examine our lives together. Are there any strongholds? We, as believers, must make sure that we trust the LORD and the LORD alone. There can not be a plan B. He is the only one that will remain faithful through it all.

Where a stronghold is present, in that area, there is a lack of communication with God. If anything is put before God, or elevated in any way above God, there is a lack of trust in who God is.

Before dealing with strongholds, I find it extremely important to look at who God is. God is faithful, Provider, all-powerful, all-knowing, He has insight, He is love, He is the first and the Last. He is who He says He is. The more God is seen for who He really is, the easier it is to understand the power in His name.

When God is present (always), nothing can stand above Him. Look into your life. Is there anything that has a hold on you? Anything separating you from truth? REMEMBER NOTHING CAN SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF GOD! Rebuke all lies that the enemy has tried to put in your way!

The Word of God is what sets us free! Meditate on His law day & night! Place His truth in your heart. Set it higher than any thought! Remember who He is & thank Him always!

I have found, in my personal walk, that when something comes my way... A temptation, a previous struggle, or anything that tries to puff itself up above my God... His Word is more powerful than those attacks! He is strong, oh so strong! Nothing at all can separate us from His love. We must continue soaking in His Word, becoming familiar with all truth. If we are covered in truth, no lies can exist.

Strongholds are lies!! Rebuke all lies in the name of Jesus Christ (YES! Hallelu Yah! There is power in His name). Find scripture that speaks truth about whatever it is that you are dealing with & believe the truth... not the lies! Lies no longer have power over you! If you are indeed a son or daughter of the Most High God, YOU ARE FREE!!!

Bless you!

*Praise is a wonderful tool for breaking off strongholds... there is freedom when you praise God with all of your heart!*
