So if there’s a situation in your life you believe God doesn’t approve of, but you don’t think will ever change, that’s a stronghold. A stronghold is defined as anything you know to be against the will of God that you also believe is unchangeable. In 2 Corinthians 10:3–5, Paul is talking about a spiritual war, and he shows us the Word of God casts down arguments and pulls down strongholds. Now, obviously, after that, we worked to rearrange his understanding of who’s the boss, but I think God enjoys the spunk of someone who will stand up and say, “I’ve had enough of this! Here’s what the Word of God says!” The reason I think this is because when the Word of God is referenced throughout Scripture, many times it’s done so in the context of a battle. He stood up, lifted his finger and said, “God, I command You, in Jesus’ name, to move that tornado!” They were huddled in there for about 15 minutes and my son, Seth, was tired of cowering under the tornado. So she grabbed the kids and went into the safest room in the house. She turned on The Weather Channel and the radar map showed the tornadoes were in our neighborhood. My wife was at home with our children and the storm sirens began to go off, signaling there was a tornado nearby. 2 Corinthians 10:3–5Ī few years ago, I was at the church teaching a Bible class and one of those wild, Texas storms came blowing in from the west. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. The only way we can tear down the Enemy’s strongholds is by declaring God's Word in our lives.įor though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.
