Have you ever asked yourself why do bad things keep repeating themselves in my Life? Have you ever asked yourself why do I do the things that I do? Why can’t I get victory over certain challenges and habits in my Life?

For many years I assumed that strongholds were built up by demons, and because I believed this I always prayed against demonic strongholds. But I received a life-changing Revelation from the Lord, through his Word, and through his Spirit that gave me the truth about strongholds.

How are strongholds erected?

It’s we ourselves who create and allow strongholds in our lives and these strongholds provide hiding places for demons to manipulate our lives, our health, our wealth, and our future.

There are four big areas of toxic seed opportunities:

• Generational and/or environmental
• Counterfeit (ungodly or twisted beliefs)
• Wounded emotions: we use strongholds to prevent further pain, thus making them even stronger and more complex, like a growing city
• Demonic oppression and involvement

When we came to Jesus Christ and were born again, false beliefs and ideas were not automatically eliminated.

Strongholds are cemented with:

• Thoughts contrary to truth
• Arguments
• Theories
• Reasoning
• Imaginations (lies and falsehoods)
• Proud and lofty things
• Purposes contrary to truth (deception)

Everything begins with a seed. Seeds produce roots. Roots make up the footings (the under structure) for a stronghold’s foundation. Roots produce fruit…after time.

Roots become the pilings; the footings, for the stronghold’s foundation. Brick by brick the stronghold is erected, and cemented together and reinforced with lies, falsehoods, and erroneous beliefs.

John 10:10
The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly.

But the good news is that God has great goals for us! He wants healed and free people, marriages, families, churches, communities, territories, and cultures. Total freedom is authority from the Kingdom to change twisted culture.

2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV)
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. [Greek: a past event with progressive effects; not completed effects].

Strongholds cannot be managed. They must be dismantled and demolished. We carry a piece of eternity here on earth, called the Bible. We enjoy a presence of eternity on the earth: the Holy Spirit.

Strongholds must be demolished

When you declare war against the strongholds in your Life you’re going to see a dramatic effect on your relationships, your success, your finances, and your future.

God’s Goals:

• Healed and free people
• Healed and free marriages, families, and churches
• Healed and free communities, territories, and cultures

Total freedom, authority from the Kingdom and in the Kingdom to change twisted culture

2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV)
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.  [Greek: a past event with progressive effects; not completed effects].
