Tearing Down Personal Strongholds

120 evidences the solution for your struggles and grace of God will raise us. This is the alternative speaker, pastor of Oak Cliff by the president of our national defense system is always on the alert, texting, our country, Dr. Evan says, many of us don't apply the same logic to our personal weak spots. Let's join him as he explains how grace can help reinforce your resistance to the enemy. You are tricks captured say you have not been able to get some of the incarcerated by the evil one drug addiction is a small class has been captured by chemical agent so no matter how much you try, you can't let it go.

Some are called dependent people I captured you all could be parents with long but you have not allowed you to go free.

Some of you to the Christian abuse brutalized by relationship not only on your body but on your soul able to capture you and hold you hostage because no matter how you run not been able to break away from vice grip strong. Some of us don't have stronghold strongholds we have been able to strongholds of the mind, sexual addiction, pornography, for example, stronghold of the mind. Illicit activity captures lines were unable to unlock ourselves from no matter how many times we say when the magazine we keep buying into coming through it many times we say when I got up watch the show we keep trying to get on because we have been captured by a stronghold of the month stronghold in the mindset that accepts a situation at unchangeable, even though we know it's against the will of God. It is unfortunate that Christians have been in the believing that if you have a stronghold you suppose the habit I tried to explain all of us that we thought that's run by angels battling against angels, not people. We want to blame people for stronghold people not make something a stronghold they can set you up to make it a stronghold because what makes a stronghold of stronghold and my people can make it accessible to you why people can encourage you when it cannot portion a stronghold is where you are captured in your mind and jump onto the job. In the movie. My problem is that your problem is your problem sets you up so I can reveal how messed up you want to spend time blaming others, rather than getting rid of the stronghold that we have spiritual one of the reason that you get rid of it because you have not addressed it spiritually. You cannot fight a spiritual battle using weapons of the flesh, that which is born a flash of/John three is that which is born of spirit in spirit and never the twain shall meet.

Number one the first thing you want to do if you're gonna get out of the vice grip of the line that is holding you hostage what it is to remember your position in Christ.

That little statement can set you on the road of deliverance that you can imagine that little statement can set free from things that have been blogging you put 25 no matter what you get if you do not remember your position in Christ, then you are barking up the wrong tree. Let me review your position to success. This has raised us up with Christ seated us with him in happily places in Christ you have been elevated to a position with Christ, who is now enthralled. Although the heavenly realm and that's where you will is in light of that in Colossians chapter 3 verse one.

If you have been right with Christ keeps thinking of things which are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things about all the things on our we have to limit earthly Christians. And that's why we don't have more supernatural deliverance if you sat on it. When solution then you won't be able to get. I happily response is not down the middle, writing, and frowned up and therefore Hammond must be the place where you access your solution. Why say book of Colossians says in verse nine of chapter 24 in Christ all the fullness of the 12. The poem Jesus of God added him you have been made complete is the head over all rule and authority over CB angels good and bad. Verse 15 said, and he had the role of the parties made a public display of having triumph over them throw him. Jesus had already beaten the battle but the devil and his angels. Almost all of your problem. If you are going to be able environment that is the software of your problem you have to hook up with somebody who can and you can show them what is it legal to remember your position in Christ. Your position as a child of God. If you truly say Christ to get this now gives you authority over Satan since you print your position in Christ.

Having been raised with him and see them in the heavenly places gives you legal authority were the angelic realm and all authority. Jesus Christ has granted you with me let go of already saw that you can simply tell the angelic row that attach to you no longer have any rights over my life that you never drive that we have never tried stating with attack and to place on me that what you have no life because I only set free by Christ that your position site want you to remember when Alameda and want your direct number that because it showed up again will you will know you will never call on your goal right you have legal rights in heavenly places all have a lot to ask that you never benefit from. You have legal rights and have secondly why you remember your position. You must rely on God's provision. Turn with me to James for now watch this James chapter 4 verse six but he gives greater grace.

Therefore it says God as opposed to the proud but gives grace to the remember me telling you the Battle of the Bulge grace that I praise you, Gregor Gray's greater then what greater than the mess you don't care what mass is in your life you will write just don't care what you gone through and I'm not underlining you. I'm not saying it was a serious greater grace that is law.

Grace your mess. Grace, then your problem the way God added to the mass that we brightening him by getting up writer writes yes I got greater grace is right right but your attention in the Barstow writer writes God has an exhaust that will supply all over, what children like Matthew and Bob have more mass awakening the masher.

Remember the masher and he still writer writes an exhaustible supply, you must remember your position but you must use this provision. Now how do I get this right given this goodness that is greater than my mess. How do I get it out for us. He says in verse seven, submit to God submit to God submit to God, submit and submit it to God.

Know you nonstop on because if you were submitted to God you wouldn't do what they were doing a chapter 4 verses one through three. One of the sources of your quarrels and conflicts among you, and the fourth of your pledge that wage war in your members. You do not have. You commit murder and cannot obtain all your not submitting to God, if you still fighting for yourself and make it happen for you. You're not submitted to God to make it on the inside.

I am going to do, not submitted to God telling you how strong you are not any more strongly what rights we got a problem because we are not submitted, the bulk of the pulpit, not the one, because oftentimes the definition of the word submit is not fully given that I will apologize and I want to give you the true sides of submission.

If you go to be submitted to God because you want greater grace. The word submit has two components in order to submit the first component of submit surrender normally when people say submit another synonym but we commit without surrender limitation when I do my thing I want to commit themselves. Christ come down come down and say what I cannot do this anymore not do that anymore. Make a commitment and you really mean it. But then you go off because commitment can't work unless it is preceded by someone you say well what Richard surrender surrender.surrender to God unable surrender to surrender as I am not able to look at when a man surrender little while. I went up to surrender that throughout the white flag in the long the Bible teaches greater grace from God. Surrender the white flag and say I came when Dr. comes back in just a moment centering on one of the key elements of that surrender first. So if you had a hard time getting into God in order to experience the power of his victory.

He says in verse eight. Cleanse your hand your statements purify your hearts, you double minded. Be miserable in morning weeks. Let your laughter be turned the morning and your joy to gloom yourself enough to God.

The call of sin. Sin God can help some of us could we don't slip what we do is make mistakes Jesus never diaper mistakingly.percent or it was how I was raised, you cannot pass the same day when people are not willing to all that personal responsibility we live in a blame society where this is a golf day. That didn't happen near the golf. How would that happened have the golf that you want to today and a national public God and Jesus Simmons and purify your God then considers you plow, that's why.

16 he opposes the proud but gives grace to the compost that lawn I cannot. I cannot mask on my background still messed up. I am not.

He opposes the proud why because every time he sees you too proud to come to him and confessing him where you messed up you remind him of another person event like Satan said I don't want to submit to you before you do this every time you are proud to report that since I said, that's my fault must God take pride in what you are proud when you don't come to him and called must repent of sin.

I repeat that for you after this important thought from Dr. Evans, one of the great things all of us need in life is hope.

Hope is expectation about the future things will be better where I'm going than where I am aware of come from the greatest hope that's given to us by God is the hope of eternal life, that when this life is over, we immediately intro to God's presence and don't have to worry about the scourge called death. So if you want to bypass death you can do that because there is the hope of the gospel, the good news that anyone comes to Christ for salvation recognizing their sinfulness and the need for forgiveness will be given that salvation when they come to Jesus for it.
