Arrows Of Truth # 15 - What Are Key Strongholds Holding Dropouts Captive? (Part B) Series

Arrows of Truth # 15 - What are key strongholds holding dropouts captive? (Part b)

The purpose of this and the three following 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 second of these five demonic strongholds is: the spirit of divination (manipulation).

This ruler represents all manipulation of men and situations. Witchcraft, divination,exaggeration, and intimidation are forms of this manipulation. The spirit of divination is the ruling prince responsible for all attempts to coerce, intimidate and manipulate people in order to accomplish an end (good or evil).

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 #15

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