BEFORE WE GET SAVED, WE HAVE A LOT OF STRONG HOLDS IN OUR LIVES.
WHAT IS A STRONG HOLD? A STRONG HOLD IS A PLACE OF SECURITY.
SOME OF THE STRONG HOLDS WE HAVE IN OUR LIVES ARE LYING, CHEATING, STEALING, ANGER,GOSSIP,DISOBEDINCE,LUST,WATCHING SHOWS LISTENING TO MUSIC , GOING PLACES ,OR HANGING OUT WITH PEOPLE THAT ARE WRONG FOR US AND ANYTHING ELSE THAT GOES AGAINST GOD.
OUR LIVES ARE CONTROLLED BY SATAN BECAUSE ARE WE ARE SLAVES TO SIN
WE GIVE SATAN THE POWER TO BUILD STRONG HOLDS IN OUR LIVES.
THE LONGER WE ALLOW SATAN TO KEEP US ENLSAVED IN SIN THE MORE THE STRONG HOLDS ARE EMBEDED IN OUR LIVES AND THE HARDER THEY ARE TO GET RID OF.
WHEN WE GET SAVED AND ALLOW JESUS TO COME INTO OUR HEART'S AND LIVES HE STARTS TO TEAR DOWN THE STRONG HOLDS THAT SATAN BUILT.SOMETIMES IT TAKES A WHILE ,OTHERS ARE DISTROYED RIGHT AWAY.
SOME STRONG HOLDS ARE AN ON GOING DEMOLITION PROJECT.
EVERYTIME WE SIN AND "SWEEP IT UNDER THE RUG" BY NOT ASKING FOR FORGIVNESS SATAN ADDS A BRICK TO A STRONG HOLD AND STARTS REBUILDING TILL HE HAS ANOTHER STRONG HOLD IN OUR LIVES
EVERYTIME WE SIN AND "SWEEP IT UNDER THE RUG" BY NOT ASKING FOR FORGIVNESS SATAN ADDS A BRICK TO A STRONG HOLD AND STARTS REBUILDING TILL HE HAS ANOTHER STRONG HOLD IN OUR LIVES
WE HAVE TO STAY ON OUR KNEES IN PRAYER TO MAKE SURE THOSE STRONG HOLDS STAY DISTROYED.IF WE SLACK OFF IN OUR DEVOTIONS SATAN CAN COME BACK AND START REBUILDING THE STRONG HOLDS GOD DISTROYED
