Satan's Strongholds

What strong holds are you giving Satan in your life?
  • Unforgiven sin?
  • Unrepentant sin?
  • Withheld forgiveness of a sin/offense committed against you
  • Resentment?
  • Bitterness?
  • Anger towards someone or something?
  • Pride?
  • Idolatry? Are you putting money, sex, food, hunting, cars, career ahead of God in your life?
  • Fear?

All of these things can and will be used against you by Satan. These strongholds allow Satan to bring condemnation against you.

Romans 8:1 - Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus

Condemnation comes from Satan not from Jesus.

2 Corinthians 10:4 - The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.

Through Jesus we can demolish the strongholds that Satan has in our lives. To do it we must give these up to Jesus. We must ask for forgiveness, we must repent of our sin, we must offer forgiveness, we must give up bitterness, resentment, hate and anger. We have to put Jesus first in our lives and worship Him only.

Lord I pray that you would enter our hearts, that you would reveal truth. That you would search our hearts and that you would point out the strongholds we give Satan and show us how to release those through and to You. In the mighty and glorious name of Jesus we pray. Amen.
