Arrows Of Truth # 18 - What Are Key Strongholds Holding Dropouts Captive? (Part E Final) Series

Arrows of Truth # 18 - What are key strongholds holding dropouts captive? (Part e final)

The purpose of this and the preceding 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 fifth of these five demonic strongholds is: the spirit of whoredoms (idolatry).

This ruler represents the place of extravagance which causes man to elevate himself by excess. This can take many forms of behaviors such as greed, covetousness, lasciviousness, etc. The spirit of whoredoms (idolatry) is the ruling prince which prompts men to go after other gods of money, pleasure, things, etc.

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 #18

Consider the 2 or 3 people in your sphere of influence who are dropout believers, whom the Lord has shown you to engage with. Ask the Lord to reveal if there may be a stronghold of idolatry in their lives based on their behaviors. For more depth on this read Hunters of the Harvest book chapter 11,12 & App C.
