STRONGHOLDS
(These principles are universal and apply to divine healing or anything God puts in your hand to overcome.)
You have tremendous authority in Christ. Strongholds are things that can stand in the way of you taking authority in Christ according to God’s will. Rather than following a system or check list, you must ask God what He wants to do. Various kinds of strongholds exist:
Bad ideas:
- These may be doctrines, philosophies, worldviews, preconceived ideas, presuppositions, attitudes, etc.
- Ask God to reveal any lies you believe. Reject them. Ask God to show you the truth. Receive it.
Failure to take Authority:
- Not understanding your authority in Christ
- Stand in God’s presence.
- Let God assure you of your authority and responsibility.
Doubt:
- Stand in the presence of God and listen to His voice.
- Ask God to strengthen your faith.
- Remember the times God has done things for you.
- Get together with Christians who encourage you.
- Failure to speak the words God has given you.
- Failure to stand in God’s Presence and Glory.
Demonic Interference or Attacks:
- Demons must be cast out.
- The Scriptural pattern is to tell them to leave.
- They must obey the Christ in you.
- They have no power over you.
- You may have to persist because demons are not obedient.
Past or Present Spiritual Injury can cause strongholds:
A few Examples:
- unforgiveness
- emotional trauma
- bitterness
- anger
- hate
- curses
- agreements with negativity
- dogmatism
- rebellion against God or God’s authority
- guilt
- impulses
- habit-thoughts
- griefs
- sorrows
- negative emotion
What you can do about an event from the past that causes a strong negative reaction when you think of it.
- Identify the emotion, impulse, etc. you feel
- Reject it.
- Ask Jesus to take it from you.
- Ask Jesus to heal the wounds in your soul.
- Focus on the Spirit of Christ, and allow the Glory of God’s Presence to fill the place where the negative issue was living.
- Tell Jesus you receive His healing.
- Recall the event. You should sense the Glory of God’s Presence. If any negative emotions persist, repeat the steps above.
Ask God to answer these questions:
- Why do demons have to leave when you tell them to in Jesus’ name?
- How do you know if you have a stronghold in your life?
- What does it mean to take authority in Christ?
- How do you ask Jesus to heal wounds in your soul?
- What is the Glory of God’s Presence?
