Loose the Stronghold II
Hello to all..................A stronghold is defined as a fortress or a guarded territory that invades the mind and thought process holding it hostage.
Since the stronghold is a demonic force trying to keep your mind hostage, let's deal with the mind today. Here's a sign that you have a stronghold: you're in a fruitful relationship and every now and then when you argue or have a disagreement, you begin to talk about what your last mate did in your past relationship. Regardless of how the person treated you, you still think about them and even love them to a point where you can't progress in your current relationship. You'll be out enjoying each other and holding hands, smiling at each other then you'll see your last mate from the last relationship. All of a sudden you loose your current mate's hand and the smile turns into a frown. That's usually a sign of a stronghold. I've also had people complain to me about the last job and how they were treated. What's interesting about that is, they currently have a better job, making more money, but they are still complaining about the last job. Why? Stronghold! You've been hurt so much that when God sends help you reject the help. That's a stronghold. It's time to be delivered in our minds.
THOUGHT OF THE DAY...............................................
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." Romans 12:1-2
You need to be loosed in your mind if you continue to dwell on the past hurts in your life. If you continue to dwell on the past hurts, you won't be able to recognize the future joy. How many times have you either been miserable or you've seen people who are just miserable? When you ask them why they are miserable, they don't have a reason. They go to church! They are miserable because of the stronghold. We are shouting for things and while shouting for things, we are jeopardizing our joy. The enemy doesn't really care about the material things you obtain. He doesn't mind as long as he has you under his influence. It's time to transform our thinking and get delivered so we can let go of past hurts and move into the fullness of joy which is God's presence!
Stay and Be Encouraged!
