TEARING DOWN STRONGHOLDS 6-19-26 VIDEO
A spiritual stronghold is an entrenched way of thinking. Its a false belief system that opposes Gods truth. Strongholds are built by error in our thoughts, but they are torn down by the truth. ERROR is to look at your past and you should be ashamed of yourself. ----The TRUTH is the blood of Jesus washed you clean. The ERROR is you dont belong,---the TRUTH is youve been adopted and accepted into the family of God. The ERROR is that you are a mistake. The TRUTH is God created you on purpose for a purpose. The Holy Spirit helps us renew our mind.

ISA 1:18 Come now and lets deliberate over the next steps to take together. Yahweh promises you over and over: Though your sins stain you like scarlet, I will whiten them like bright, new-fallen snow! Even though they are deep red like crimson,
they will be made white like wool!
19 If you have a willing heart to let me help you, and if you will obey me, you will feast on the blessings of an abundant harvest. TPT
1 JN 4:4 My dear children, you come from God and belong to God. You have already won a big victory over those false teachers, for the Spirit in you is far stronger than anything in the world. MSG
1JN 4:6 But we come from God and belong to God. Anyone who knows God understands us and listens. The person who has nothing to do with God will, of course, not listen to us. This is another test for telling the Spirit of Truth from the spirit of deception. MSG

2 COR 10:3 The fact that we are living in a physical world in human bodies of flesh does not mean that we engage ourselves in a combat dictated to by the typical tit-for-tat strategies of religion and the politics of the day.
4 The dynamic of our strategy is revealed in Gods ability to disengage mindsets and perceptions that have held people captive in pseudo fortresses for centuries!
5 Every lofty idea and argument positioned against God's knowledge of us, is cast down and exposed to be a mere invention of our own imagination. We arrest every thought at spear point - anything that could possibly trigger an opposing threat to our redeemed identity and innocence is taken captive. The caliber of our weapon is empowered by the revelation of the ultimate consequence of the obedience of Christ. MIRROR
ROM 12:2 Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you. MSG
EPH 4:22 For in the truth of your union in him [in his death and resurrection], you have stripped off that old identity like a filthy worn-out garment. Ignorance and lust corrupted you and cheated you into wearing it in the first place.
23 Thus you are habitually renewed in your innermost mind. This will cause you to be completely re-programmed in the way you think about yourself!
24 Remain fully immersed in this God-shaped new person from above! You are created in the image and likeness of God. This is what righteousness and true holiness are all about. MIRROR
TITUS 3:4-8 But when God, our kind and loving Savior God, stepped in,
he saved us from all that. It was all his doing; we had nothing to do with it. He gave us a good bath, and we came out of it new people, washed inside and out by the Holy Spirit. Our Savior Jesus poured out new life so generously.
God's gift has restored our relationship with him and given us back our lives. And there's more life to come - an eternity of life! You can count on this. MSG

ROM 8:5 Sins symptoms are sponsored by the senses, a mind dominated by the sensual. Thoughts betray source; spirit life attracts spirit thoughts.

ROM 8:5 Those who think they can do it on their own end up obsessed with measuring their own moral muscle but never get around to exercising it in real life. Those who trust God's action in them find that God's Spirit is in them - living and breathing God! MSG
PHIL 4:8 Now let this be your conclusive reasoning: consider that which is true about everyone as evidenced in Christ. Live overwhelmed by Gods opinion of you! Acquaint yourselves with the revelation of righteousness; realize Gods likeness in you. Make it your business to declare mankinds redeemed innocence. Think friendship. Discover how famous everyone is in the light of the gospel; mankind is in Gods limelight! Ponder how elevated you are in Christ. Study stories that celebrate life. MIRROR
COL 3:1 See yourselves co-raised with Christ! Now ponder with persuasion the consequence of your co-inclusion in him. Relocate yourselves mentally! Engage your thoughts with throne room realities where you are co-seated with Christ in the executive authority of Gods right hand.
2 Becoming affectionately acquainted with throne room thoughts will keep you from being distracted again by the earthly [soul-ruled] realm. MIRROR
1 PET 1:13 So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that's coming when Jesus arrives.

John 3:31 We are dealing with two dimensions here, the one coming from above presides over all - while the reasoning from a mere earthly perspective is confined to communicate from an earthly point of view. The conversation realized as originating in heaven has the final say. Mirror
