‘The weapons of our warfare are … mighty in God for pulling down strongholds.’ 2 Corinthians 10:4 NKJV
When the Bible speaks of a stronghold, it’s referring to an area in your life that’s controlled by wrong thinking. And that stronghold will attract people who think the same way and feed off it. But there is good news. Not only will God reveal to you the strongholds in your life, He will also show you the experiences that caused them. Do you worry obsessively about things because of a past experience? As a result, are you inclined to depend more on yourself than on God? When it comes to worry, we either try to hide it or infect those around us with it. And because we don’t deal with it, our worry snowballs and effects our mental health. ‘So, how can I deal with my stronghold?’ you ask. Attack it with the Word of God.
You don’t have to accept whatever comes into your mind; you have a choice! If a thought lines up with the Word of God, accept it—if it doesn’t, reject it. When Satan comes against you, don’t just sit there and say, ‘I wish he would leave me alone. I don’t feel like fighting today.’ If you do, he will ‘devour’ you! (See 1 Peter 5:8.) Paul describes your Bible as ‘… the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God;…’ (Ephesians 6:17 NKJV). Did you get that? The Holy Spirit within you will wield the sword of Scripture for you, as long as you have done your job, which is to get the Word of God inside you. Do you want to pull down the strongholds in your life? Reprogram your mind with the truths of God’s Word.
