Psalm 18 is a wonderful summary of praise and thanksgiving for God’s protection over the course of David’s life. The Psalm is repeated nearly identical in 2 Samuel 22.

a sermon for dealing with the strongholds in our life

The life you live is a direct reflection of the thoughts you think

Satan and demons are real and they are fighting against God’s people in these last days like never before. He is trying to destroy individuals, families, and churches. He wants to come in and setup his kingdom in our territory. But the kingdom of Satan is no match for the Kingdom of God and we don’t have to allow demonic powers to be a squatter in our territory. We can evict demons in the name of Jesus!

Three Source Of Strong Holds 17 Now, if anyone is enfolded into Christ, he has become an entirely new creation. All that is related to the old order has vanished.

There is something deep inside all of us that longs for security, safety, and solid ground to stand on. When those things aren’t present, or at least don’t seem to be present, fear is the result. Could be fear of being hurt, getting sick, or even dying. Could be financial fear, fear of failing, fear…

For more than 140 years the walls had remained only as a broken and burned rubble. Nehemiah takes a systematic approach to rebuilding the walls. He starts at the most vulnerable places and works his way around until the walls and the gates are in place and set. In the same way that God restores the land, the walls and the temple, He desires to restore to wholeness our body, soul and spirit. So how do we build the right walls with the right gates?

Paul tells us that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against rulers (not temporal) and authorities ... and spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. These are strongholds. As the Israelites were about to invade a land of fortified cities, so any Christian who moves out into the community and seeks to evangelize and tell the Good News is going to encounter spiritual forces who do not want to give up ground. We should not shrink away, for we have the armor of God that helps.

tearing down unGodly strongholds

We have a divine power to demolish enemies of God, sinful thoughts, and disobedience.

Our excuses do not pardon us from making eternal decisions. We must learn to let go of our excuses and choose to do what is right and necessary.
