Pulling Down Strongholds Brings HIS Abundant Supply To You!
(Editor's note: The Hebrew notion of Salvation (Deliverance) included much more than forgiveness and eternal life. Salvation meant freedom from debt, worry, fear and sickness. Power over enemies, total victory and possession of a land was integral to the concept. Today many believers have been put off by hyper-prosperity teaching. This teaching may have been responsible for many believers retreating entirely from the True Gospel, which portrays CREATOR as SUPPLIER!

10:21-23 The word "wealth" is a bit scary to some. Let's look at the 13th century word that it comes from: weal
[weel ] noun OK. I hope that dispels any fear, trepidation of queasiness you may have with the word. As a believer, the state of wealth, when understood to mean well-being, prosperity and happiness and is what CREATOR has planned for us. But as with all the good of the Kingdom, there is an enemy that stands in the way and opposes. That is his name, satan, which means adversary. He is the one who opposes. And rather than swords and sticks as weapons, he mostly uses ideology. He has set up a world system that is designed to take good things from the children of CREATOR and give them to the wicked. Let me say this . . . Wealth is no accident and it is not automatic for the Follower of CHRIST! That should come as no surprise. Neither is 'JOY', Peace, Health or . . . you name it. If it is good, we have to fight for it. How do we fight? Well . . . We pull down strongholds. Strongholds are misconceptions in our minds that try to raise themselves against the Mind of CHRIST that is in us. 2
Corinthians 10:4 2
Corinthians 10 2
Corinthians 10:3-5 Strongholds
in our mind are like caves that the enemy hides in and defends. That is why we must
demolish them. I like the word demolish! Here are some strongholds against the
wealth of CREATOR in a Follower's mind: I bet you can add to this list. So go ahead. Ask the GREAT SPIRIT to begin now to root them out. As HE locates them for you, demolish them. Use HIS Word. Confess! Remember, that means to say the same thing as HIS Word! Here are some starting points . . . . "And my GOD will meet (Supply) all your needs according to HIS glorious riches in CHRIST JESUS.." Philippians 4:19 "But remember the LORD your GOD, for it is HE who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms HIS covenant, which HE swore to your forefathers, as it is today." Deuteronomy 8:18 There are many great Scriptures that provide the weapons against strongholds. Is this making sense? I hope so. Be convinced today and fight the good fight of faith! |
