Isaiah 41:10 ESV
"Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
"Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
Wow, 2-22-22 that's a lot of two's! Praying you have a great day.
I am recovering from being Avalanched! It was another great year at Sandy Cove with Pastor Teresa Verdecchio. This week I am sharing bits and pieces from the message I shared at the conference. Today, I am sharing about strongholds. Strongholds can be evil or godly. They are supplied by Godly thoughts, the Word of God, the anointing or God-(Oil, water, bread) or by the opposite; (evil words, evil thoughts, evil actions.)
Symptoms of a demon inside:
· They drive (you feel driven)
· The harass (you feel angry and irritated, agitated)
· They produce Compulsive Behavior and Attitudes.
· You have a tendency to stop, slow down or reverse your spiritual growth and progress.
· They produce sicknesses and deformities.
· They can bind the soul or body and these spirits can be passed on through inheritance.
· Desire you to fatalistically resign to the inevitable.
· You’ve always been like this
· You just can’t help it
· It runs in your family
What is a stronghold? Why are strongholds important in literal warfare?
A stronghold is a defensive structure:
Psalms 9:9 The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
misgav; properly, a cliff (or other lofty or inaccessible place); figuratively, a refuge:--defense, high fort (tower), refuge. So, a cliff could be a stronghold, because it’s high and inaccessible to one’s enemies.
1 Samuel 23:14. David stayed in the desert strongholds and in the hills of the Desert of Ziph.
Or it could be a man-made fortress or tower
Ps 144:2 [The LORD is..] my goodness, and my fortress; my high tower [misgab, stronghold],
and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdues my people under me.
Why would a "high thing" like to hang out in a high cliff or a high tower, exalting itself?
Because it’s safe up there!
If an enemy comes, it’s much easier to drive him away from a stronghold in a high place.
You can learn about the strategic importance of strongholds in the history of the wars of Israel.
ACTION STEP: If you seem to be caught up in a cycle ask yourself, "Could I have an evil stronghold?" If you think you do, then go before the Lord and asks Him to reveal the stronghold. Then, repent and tear it down by going around it with praise, just like those walls of Jericho, and watch them fall. Replace ungodly thoughts and beliefs with the Words of Jesus found in scripture that are the opposite of what you've been confessing. If you confess, "I am ugly." Then, start confessing, "I am fearfully and wonderfully made...Ps.139:13-14" Keep going and find other scriptures such as Song of Solomon 4:7 and then make a list of 25-50 Affirmations to say out loud daily.
Come join me again tomorrow for more on how to win in the Combat Zone of life.
