Mental Strongholds??

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

What exactly is a mental stronghold? It is when you get fixated on some issue that drags you down and steals your peace. It is not thinking on things ‘above’ but instead letting your thoughts be scattered all over. 

To lead a victorious Christian life it is necessary you get a grip on your random thinking. Thoughts sometimes come from things you allow in your mind so be careful and make your reading, TV viewing, movies and such not drag you into a cesspool. 

Perhaps you have prayed continuously over a issue and trust God will work in His time and for His glory but you become impatient and  you step in and mess things up and you almost go back to square one. Philippians 4:8 says to think on things above. Read the entire verse found in the New Testament after Ephesians. Now go and work on keeping your mind focused and thinking on godly things. 

PRAYER: Oh Lord how I love your word and love to soak it in daily. I pray you will help me stop jumping the gun playing Holy Spirit junior and trust on your timing. In Jesus’ name. Ame
