TOPIC: DEALING WITH STRONGHOLDS AND THE STRONGMAN
TEXT: 2cor 10:1-6, 2:11,
INSIGHT FOR FERVENT PRAYING
A stronghold is a fortress, a point of greatest strength. There is a stronghold in the life of everyone. There are two main kinds of strongholds; divine or heavenly stronghold or satanic stronghold.
A believer should have a strong heavenly stronghold on his life as it is the guarantee in times of trouble and distress. The name of the lord is a strong tower the righteous run to it and they are saved. “The Lord is my light and salvation who shall I fear? He is the stronghold of my life of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1 “
For every strong hold there is a strongman. The stronghold is the office the strongman is the officer in charge. It is like the prison (strong hold) and the jailer (strongman)
As long as the stronghold remains Satan has access. Stronghold can be present in any area of life. The best way to treat a disease is to recognize the cause and kill it. Treating symptomatically only manages the situation but does not completely eradicate it and that’s why the sickness can resurface or the day relapse. The same way with the stronghold, we have to uproot it. When there is a Satanic covenant in operation there is a stronghold. When you yield to a particular sin, it becomes a stronghold. The stronghold is the source of mysterious and recurrent battles. You need discernment to discover the strongholds around you. You need your eyes to be opened to see and grace to pray.
