The Lord has put a new Spirit in us.
I could not understand why so many of us, -who proclaimed Christ had such little impact on the kingdom of darkness.
It seemed to me that our culture should be impacted much more, if His children walked in the light -as Jesus did.
Jesus impacted His culture like no other man...!
I saw many believers, who so-called, 'proclaimed Christ', living no differently than a person, who had not claimed Him as Lord.
These men and women had a humanistic 'form of religion', but little power, that reflected Christ's rule in their lives.
* Strongholds keep us from being free to reflect Christ in and through our lives because they require allegiance until they are dealt with.
* Strongholds can often be so hidden that we would not even identify them as evil.
* Because the stronghold operated on a subconscious level, it was not easily recognizable.
A stronghold of .......
- fear,
- control,
- rebellion,
- insecurity,
- idolatry,
- pride, or
- bitterness
........may be hidden until it is revealed through circumstances.
'Generational curses', (a stronghold that had been implanted many generations earlier), are very difficult to recognize, -if at all.
All strongholds are built in our lives as a result of 'us'seeking to meet one or more of basic needs God has created in us.
Once we believe a lie that God cannot meet a need without our effort, we open our spirit to a stronghold.
The more lies we believe, the more we invite these strongholds to take root in our lives.
Questions to ask ourselves...........
Are you ineffective in your Christian experience?
Are there besetting sins that seem to recur in your life?
You may find that satan has built a fortress in your heart that has been there many generations.
We must ask God's forgiveness for .....
* entertaining this stronghold, &
* I/you must renounce it.
Then as Christ renews your mind and heart, you will see Christ's power released in your life like never before.
"The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds." 2 Corinthians 10:4
Ek en jy hoef nie deur ons mislukkings gekniehalter te word nie........
In Christus kan ons mislukkings ’n geleentheid word om ........
- ons afhanklikheid van Hom te verklaar,
- onsself deur Sy oë te sien en Hom toe te laat om Sy stempel op ons doen en late af te druk.
Ek en jy is van Sy Hulp verseker!
Hy het immers “gebid dat jou geloof nie ophou nie.” (Luk 22:32)
“Here, red my?”
Dank te kan ervaar dat ek deur my mislukkings, ook
eerlik sal kan antwoord:
"Here, U weet alles, U weet dat ek U liefhet (of nie)”
SHALOM
