A Devotional for such a time as this: - from: Stanley, C. F. (2000). Into His presence (p. 238). Nashville, TN: Thomas Nelson Publishers. Strongholds for Satan SCRIPTURE READING: 2 Corinthians 10:3–5 KEY VERSE: 1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. Another word for fortresses is strongholds, which, in the context of warfare, means “fortified places.” In the spiritual realm, aspects of your behavior and thinking can become strongholds for Satan—hard-to-penetrate positions that furnish excellent ground for him to assault your inner being. A stronghold may be found in any area of your life, from your speech to interpersonal relationships to eating habits. It may involve a weakness or a predisposition to a certain sin. In any case, a stronghold is something that you have never completely surrendered to the lordship or control of Jesus Christ. Can you identify any strongholds in your life? It’s not a mysterious subject. When you ask God to reveal His truth to you, He will reveal strongholds through the power of the Holy Spirit. The Lord wants you to understand spiritual warfare so that you can end Satan’s influence and move forward in your relationship with Him. Dear heavenly Father, please reveal any spiritual strongholds in my life, and give me strength to deal with them. - via Logos 5
