About Pulling Down Strongholds

9/11/13 ABOUT PULLING DOWN STRONGHOLDS

HEARD: [I felt this was an angel speaking.] A mental stronghold. Strongholds are fortified nests. We pull them down. Thought processes that do not represent the truth. We break apart opinions and arguments that hold people captive.

2 Corinthians 10:3-6 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh: 4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds;) 5 Casting down arguments, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 And having a readiness to punish all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

HEARD: Like this, say. I rebuke and pull down any thought not in obedience to Christ Jesus.

HEARD: Rebellion. Strongholds. These are fortified opinions that hold people captive.

HEARD: This is deliverance. I have taught you.

Matthew 16:19 And I will give unto you the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

3089. λυω luo LOOSE
a primary verb; to "loosen" (literally or figuratively):—break (up), destroy, dissolve, (un-)loose, melt, put off. Compare 4486.

[Lord now what do the angels do with these words, how do they pull down the stronghold?]

HEARD: We use our hands as our weapons. We grab the thought. It is living matter. And we cast it down.

2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

2 Samuel 22:35 He teaches my hands to make war; so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms.

[So you use our words as swords when we decree and speak to the mts commanding them to be removed. And you use your hands to pull down any rebellious thought not in alignment with Christ Jesus?]

HEARD: Exactly. Now you understand. When people’s judgments are directed at a person, it sends firey darts. We stand all around you as shields. And the darts do not penetrate.

Psalms 91:11 For he shall give his angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.

Psalms 34:7 The angel of the LORD encamps round about them that fear him, and delivers them.

HEARD: I have taught you. One word. Courageous. Learn to be bold. It’s an authority I have given you.

“As we pray, believe and stand strong, we must determine in our hearts to cast off every weight and pull down every high thing, every thought and imagination that exalts itself against the knowledge of God (2 Corinthians 10:5) and choose to follow the ways of God, no matter what, no matter the cost. God promises us that, as we pray, believe and take our strong stand, we will be invigorated and strengthened and receive our breakthrough!”

QUOTE JOHN PAUL JACKSON: MENTAL STRONGHOLDS 3/01/13

http://www.streamsministries.com/

“Strongholds are not demons. Strongholds are areas of the mind where darkness reigns. Strongholds are a foothold, or a place of access that satan has to us. Are you continually misunderstood, depressed, fearful or find yourself in the same predicament over and over again? The kingdom begins in you. Therefore if the kingdom is going to begin in you, if it’s going to suffer violence, that’s because you are going to have to take something that is trying to be violent against you, and with violence - with that type of ferocity address this issue.”

WORD TO PONDER: PULLING DOWN STRONGHOLDS 9/11/13

Dear ones, pulling down strongholds is not casting out demons. Strongholds are mindsets and opinions that are in rebellion to My Word. Have I not commanded you that whatsoever is true, honest, just, pure, lovely, a good report, virtuous and praiseworthy, to think on these things? Yes dear ones, when in the carnal mind, it is harder than mere words, but not impossible... because your weapons are not carnal but mighty to the pulling down of strongholds.

I earnestly desire your mind to be transformed, I earnestly desire for you to have My mind - the mind of Christ. Learn to take each and every rebellious thought that is not in obedience to My Word, and cast it down. Rebuke and take captive - grab a hold of everything that you think and hear that is in rebellion in order to attentively hear Me. For obedience to Me is attentive hearkening.

Angels stand by and work with you dear hearts. As you submit these thoughts into obedience, angels grab these thoughts of living matter with their hands and cast them down so that they do not prosper. Use your authority to set yourself and others free from rutted patterns of thinking that do not line up with My Word.

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
