The tearing down of strongholds A stronghold is deception thats taken hold in a persons mind. Its an incorrect thinking pattern based on a believed lie. People can get incorrect perceptions of God by listening to Satan as he tells them how God doesnt love them, etc. People can feel like dirty old sinners when they believe Satans accusations as he continually reminds them of their past. Strongholds are based on lies from the devil. They can come in the form of deception or accusations. Accusations always lead to guilt and the feeling of unworthiness, which weighs you down and tears you apart spiritually. Since strongholds are built upon lies that we have been fed, the way we tear down strongholds is by feeding on the truth (in Gods Word), which is the opposite of what the enemy has been feeding us. If the enemy has been feeding us a lie, we need to stop eating the lie and start feeding ourselves the truth. The weapon we use to tear down strongholds is found in Ephesians 6:17, ...the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. A sword is an offensive weapon and is meant to tear down and kill the enemys troops. Strongholds are the devils assets in war, and he uses them against us. Take up the sword of the Spirit (Gods Word) today, and start slaughtering the enemys assets that hes been using against you!
