Defeating Strongholds!
By Mark Flippo
2 Corinthians 10:4 - (For the weapons of our warfare [are] not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds;)
Romans 12:2 - And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
A stronghold is a place in your mind that has become dominated by an enemy! It is a habit that you can't break. It is depression that keeps you down. It is a way of thinking that is negative, and you feel helpless to break free from it.
Here is what you need to do. You can't push out a bad emotion without bringing in a good thought. Replacement is the only thing that will work. Start listening to Gospel Music before bed. Tune your radio to a Gospel Station. Read you Bible but if you do not understand it try a different version.
The message Bible can be very helpful. You can find it online. You must focus your attention on the good things that Jesus brings your way. It will not change you overnight but if you are Faithful, it will change you even when you are not thinking about the old things. Keep at it. I know it works because it worked for me!
