Casting down the strongholds in Jesus’ name

Strongholds are defined as “something” that holds you back from your walk with the LORD Jesus Christ. What is holding you back from receiving spiritual, emotional, or physical blessings?

According to the Word of God, it is possible to cast down the strongholds in Jesus’ name. In Luke 10: 20 says Jesus says “However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

2 Corinthians 10:3-5 says,

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.

Let us do some self-analysis in the presence of God and make wise choices in our walk with the LORD. Whether we like it or not we are in the battle (Ephesians 6). Let us put on the full armor of God and fight the good fight.

 Hebrews 12: 1-3, says that, therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer, and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him, he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

“Fix your eyes on Jesus” – In any race there will be two important persons among many other people. Firstly, the starter – the person who says on your mark, set, go, and then the referee – the person who receives you at the finish line and gives the first place, second place, or third place cards. Remember in our Christian run LORD Jesus is running with us, and He knows how to carry us through the storm. We need faith and faith can move the mountains.
