Paul wrote, “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. Destroying imaginations, and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ (2Cor 10:4-5).”

Mental strongholds are formed when we accept unbiblical lies as truth. These lies thenbecome thought patterns until we believe Biblical truth. Strongholds form as we embrace patterns of thought. Jesus declaring, “the truth will make you free,” is meant for daily living right now.

Scripture memorization is mandatory if we want to live a life of freedom. Does anyone really want to live a life of confusion or religious bondage? Without Biblical knowledge you have nothing to battle your demons with. You have no bullets in your gun. You don’t even have water to squirt.

All spiritual bonds are first rooted in spiritual deception. We become deceived when we believe the lies which demons use to influence us, and the stronghold begins to form. The Word of God declares, “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (2Cor 3:17).”

Eve listened to the lie and once she believed it, she was deceived, lost liberty, and got nothing but sorrow and loss. There is no ritual, or ancestral history to uncover. When you were born again, you became a brand-new creation in Christ. Old things passed away. Remember, the only way to eliminate deception and error, is to apply the truth that makes men free. Deliverance is past tense (Col 1:13).

The enemy has often planted erroneous structures in the mind of believers, by feeding us lies which develop faulty patterns of thought. Allowing thoughts of lust, pride, greed or that God forgot about you are all strongholds that only deliver more bondage.

We pull down strongholds and take destructive thoughts captive by believing what Goddeclares about us, not anyone else. Remember,

Every Stronghold is Based on a Lie
