Strongholds

And  that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.2 Timothy 2:26

A stronghold is just what the word implies. Something that has a 'strong hold' on you to the point it is dragging you down and influencing you. Satan is a master of creating strongholds in  a believers life. Convincing you that wrong is right and right is wrong is a good example. 

Our world has developed a secular worldview where if you saturate yourself too much with liberal news media you will start to believe the lies. For instance, transgenderism, I am sorry, is not right. But yet society says it is okay and our last President even allowed tax payer dollars for a convicted felon in military prison to change his gender. Something just isn't right. Don't start getting sucked into the belief it is. 

There is right and wrong. Good and evil. It has been that way since the beginning of time. Saying something is wrong does not make you hateful although our present world tries to make the righteous truth believers haters. Strongholds have captivated many and maybe some close to you. Don't argue with them but lift them up to the One who can break strongholds and set the prisoners free. 

PRAYER: Oh Lord there are all sorts of strongholds people can get caught up in. Lord help me focus on you and your word so I am not tempted to believe the lies of Satan and get enticed. In Jesus' name. Amen.
