Everyone has strongholds in their lives. Strongholds are things in our lives that take priority. For the unbeliever, his stronghold is unbelief of God's word. For us Christians, our strongholds are mainly of idolatry. It may be a stronghold of material items - computer games, branded goods, whatever is so important to us that we lose sight of God. A stronghold of pride is a priority of self, or self-obsession. A stronghold of guilt is letting our regret of wrongdoings overcome us, and we forget why we are Christians in the first place. A stronghold of hate and unforgiveness is allowing human feelings to prevent us from realising that everyone makes mistakes. In any case, everyone has strongholds.
So how then, do we break down these strongholds? They are strong, because they are from the devil. Any idol but God is the devil. Any hate, anger is from the devil. Pornographic materials are the devil Any sadness is from the devil. So keep in mind that our God is almighty, that he is the strongest and that can never change. We break strongholds by attacking it. The only offensive part of the armour of God is the sword, which represents the word of God. Also, we must keep in prayer with God. With the weapon of God's word to break those strongholds, they can be destroyed. Yet watch yourself by keeping in a close relationship with God by constantly praying, filled with the holy spirit.
