Arrows Of Truth # 14 - What Are Key Strongholds Holding Dropouts Captive? (Part A) Series

Arrows of Truth # 14 - What are key strongholds holding dropouts captive? (Part a)

The purpose of this and the next four weeks is to identify/discern false belief(s) that dropout believers have accepted and believe which result from five types of strongholds. These false beliefs dictate their behaviors.

The first of these five demonic strongholds is: the spirit of antichrist (unbelief).

This ruler represents the place of prominence that man seeks for without God. Satan is the angel of light and tried to raise himself to the pre-eminent position in the universe. The spirit of antichrist is the ruling prince. This spirit is revealed by the fruit of unbelief. Men choose not to believe the Word of God and thereby reject Christ - THE WORD. The Word - life, healing, prosperity, overcoming victory and deliverance - is compromised and watered down by man's tradition.

Jesus declared that the kingdom of God is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit (Romans 14:17). The devil's rulers of darkness in a believer's life are subject to forced removal as we crucify the flesh and renew the mind. They will, however, often resist their being dispossessed from their former residence.

Until the demonic stronghold is spiritually torn down in prayer, a believer cannot change his behavior patterns, try as he may. When the stronghold (false belief) is exposed/removed by prayer, then the believer can change his behavior patterns successfully and not fear a return to the old.

TIP #14

Consider the 2 or 3 people in your sphere of influence who are dropout believers, whom the Lord has shown you to engage with.
