Jesus said, “ Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you. ” - Matthew 17:20

A STEP BY STEP APPROACH TO DEALING WITH A STRONGMAN AND STRONGHOLDS ON YOUR OWN.

Jesus said, if we bind the strongman first then, and only then, will we be able to ransack his house! Now, before you go off binding and rebuking strongmen, you need to make sure you have the strength and authority to do so. How do you get it? The answer is by receiving healing in your soul. Evil spirits get their right to attack us from unhealed areas in our inner man.

According to the Bible, Satan and his high-ranking officers are strongmen, but in order for you to defeat them, you must be a stronger man. Stronger in soul, means your " inner man " must be healed for you to have dominion over every strongman! Jesus backs this up with this statement in John 14:30: “ I will not talk with you much more, for the prince (evil genius, ruler) of the world is coming. And he has no claim on me. He has nothing in common with me; there is nothing in me that belongs to him, and he has no power over me. ]” Did you see that? Jesus said that Satan had no power over Him because He had nothing in common with Satan.

Your spirit man has nothing in common with the enemy. It’s your wounded soul that does. However, when you get healed through the power of the Cross and Resurrection of Jesus, then as a result, your soul will be strong, and you will have nothing in common with Satan and any of his strongmen. Thus, you will have dominion over them!

STEP BY STEP APPROACH TO DELIVERANCE FROM THE STRONGMAN

Identify the habit or negative pattern. They could be more than one. They could even be up to 10,000.

You will do this spiritual exercise for 8 days. Begin on your day of birth and end on your day of birth. Start everyday by putting on some praise and worship music. Make sure you fast in addition to prayers. Jesus once said this kind only prayer and fasting can drive them out. Mark 9:29.

Then-Lift your heart up to the Lord by singing, praising, and exalting Him. When you feel His presence fill the room, repent of any sins you have committed, then ask the Lord to heal you of anything in your inner man that you have in common with the strongman by making you stronger in your soul. Command the Dunamis power that you have in your spirit to flow into any wounded areas of your inner man. The word Dunamis means “ moral power and excellence of soul ” and right now, you have a tank full of it that never runs out.

Use your faith to command that soul-healing power to flood into your inner man to make you excellent of soul. Repeat this process until you feel the assault lifting or until you get a word from the Lord that you are healed of any wound you had in common with the enemy. After that (and only then), bind the strongman in the name of Jesus and cast him out! Also, don’t forget to ransack his house. Command every spirit under him to go, too, and to take their attacks, diseases and disorders with them! Invoke the mercy of God, the blood of Jesus, the mystery of the Holy SPIRIT, the powerful name of Jesus and the mystery of thanksgiving.

Go through this exercise everyday throughout the 8 days, then on a Friday that falls within the 8 day period, you will only ask God to have mercy on you. On this Friday look for scripture verses that talk about the mercy of God. No other prayer intentions on this Friday, just ask for the mercy of God. " Lord have mercy upon my life, Lord gave mercy upon my family, Lord Have mercy on my situation "

Then the last three days just give thanks, use the mystery of thanksgiving, I taught you about that in December.

As you go through this exercise, by the power in the name of Jesus Christ, by the power of his blood that was shed on the cross, and by the power of the Holy Spirit, I prophesy into your life, and I decree and declare you are a stronger man! You are an overcome. Go into the enemies camp and retrieve all the goods he has stolen from you.

Take note, after this exercise- the spiritual dimensions of the strongman are broken, but it's not over yet, because you are not just a spiritual being; you are also an emotional and physical being, we need to work HEALING in your EMOTIONAL and PHYSICAL areas too. Or else the strong man you just got delivered of, might go look for 7 other spirits more wicked than ITSELF and come to you because you emotions and mind are not healed and your condition may become worse than the first.

The fact is that the emotions also operate on thier own laws, and once you have practiced and entertain negative thoughts over and over again, the law of habit kicks in. So even though you are delivered, you must work hard to replace that negative habit or lifestyle. You must unlearn it using the removal and replacement principle. There may be a need for you to go into counselling to deal with your negative emotions which might still be there even though you have been delivered spiritually. Once your emotions pick up the positive vibes, your physical dimensions will fall in line.

If we do not work on your emotions, consistency in practicing the negative thought patterns, will invite the strong man back into your life. This is what is responsible for persons getting delivered and the things they were delivered of bounces back.

How do you surround a stronghold of negative thinking?

Feed your mind consistently with the opposite of the negative stronghold. For every negative stronghold, there’s a powerful way to surround it with opposite truth from God and positive attitudes

1. If you are struggling with a stronghold of depression, surround it with HOPE.

2. If you are struggling with a stronghold of rejection, surround it with ACCEPTANCE from God.

3. If you are struggling with a stronghold of unresolved anger, surround it with FORGIVENESS and PEACE from the Holy Spirit.

4. If you are struggling with a stronghold of fear, surround it with the knowledge of God’s LOVE.

5. If you are struggling with a stronghold of failure, surround it with the VICTORY of the RESURRECTION!

It means you must be very cautious about what you see with your eyes and what you hear through your ears. The eyes and ears are gateways to the mind. Gaurd this gateways with all your might.

The basic rule is this - once you’ve identified a stronghold, go to the Scripture, study and meditate on the opposite truth from God. If the stronghold is rejection, study all that the Bible says about God’s acceptance. Then surround that stronghold with the word of God! You can also make it a habit to listen to motivational speakers.

Listen, once the enemy sees he’s surrounded by humble submission, praise, and the word of God, his resistance will quickly weaken, and he will leave you alone.

TO BE CONTINUED....

Shalom and God bless you.
