What Strongholds Do You Need To Break

 

"For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." 2 Corinthians 10:3-5

Many of the battles on the forefront of the news today are spiritual warfare so it is wise to remember to keep praying. In your own life what strongholds do you need broken or in other words what has a ‘strong hold’ on you making you feel you can’t break free. 

Today’s verse speaks of ‘taking captive’ thoughts or in other words don’t just let random thoughts  fill your mind with wrong thinking. You have to fight daily to keep your mind on ‘things above’. (See Colossians 3:1-4).

Don’t allow negative thinking to drag you down. Speak truth and believe it. If you get a chance see the movie ‘Breakthrough’ a true story of a young teen who broken thru the ice on a pond in Missouri. What a message it has. Don’t open your mouth and say anything negative. Now go and have a blessed day! 

PRAYER: Lord it is easy to be negative or think and talk negative. Help me stay positive and break any negative strongholds in my life. Help me recognize evil and not let it captivate my heart. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
