Strongholds

Spiritual warfare is all about truth and lies. What do you believe?

I remember once I went through Deliverance. Can’t say it did anything for me. I heard a quote the other day that just rocked me

Deliverance isn’t a battle of demons it’s a shifting of agreement Ryan Pena

  Stronghold 3794 oxýrōma (from the root oxyroō, “fortify”) – a fortified, military stronghold; a strong-walled fortress (A-S), used only in 2 Cor 10:4. Here 3794/oxýrōma (“a heavily-fortified containment”) is used figuratively of a false argument in which a person seeks “shelter” (“a safe place”) to escape reality. Strongs

Here’s what I know satan has been defeated. That doesn’t mean that his lies have been defeated, as far as strongholds go they’re not demonic it’s not what Paul says.

2 Corinthians 10.4-5 The dynamic of our strategy is revealed in God’s ability to disengage mindsets and perceptions that have held people captive in pseudo fortresses for centuries! 5 Every lofty idea and argument positioned against the knowledge of God is cast down and exposed to be a mere invention of our own imagination. We 1arrest every thought that could possibly trigger an opposing threat to our redeemed identity and innocence at spear point! The calibre of our weapon is empowered by the revelation of the ultimate consequence of the obedience of Christ. (The obedience of Christ dwarfs the effect of the disobedience of Adam into insignificance! See Romans 5:12-21. The word aichmalōtizō from aichme, spear and halosis, to capture, thus, to arrest at spear point.) The Mirror.

2 Corinthians 10:5 (TPT) 5 We can demolish every deceptive fantasy that opposes God and break through every arrogant attitude that is raised up in defiance of the true knowledge of God. We capture, like prisoners of war, every thought and insist that it bow in obedience to the Anointed One.

2 Corinthians 10:4 (ESV) 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.

ὀχύρωμα ochyrōma; a castle, stronghold, fortress, fastness.  anything on which one relies of the arguments and reasonings by which a disputant endeavours to fortify his opinion and defend it against his opponent

Religion want you to believe that the strongholds are demonic,  It’s religious interjection that ignores what the passage actually says. Of course like I said this is my opinion. But when you break down the word stronghold I think it’s pretty clear.

The mind is a very powerful thing and it has been molded through years and years of circumstances, accidents, what you learned in school what you learned from your parents and the most deadliest of all the religion that you’ve been taught. I put no stock in religion.

God is good: Jesus is the model
