You are in a war. If you don’t realize that, you are beat already. Many Christians wrongly believe they are immune from the onslaughts of the devil. Because of this, we see so little of the casting out of devils that Jesus did and even told us was part of our ministry.

There is an enemy of your soul who hates God and the image of Jesus Christ in your life. He wants to mar this image and make you blaspheme God by derailing your thinking and emotions. The devil gains victory in vulnerable areas he finds in your mind, emotions, or physical body. He finds a stronghold, roots himself in, and wages war against you by tormenting, oppressing, and doing everything he can make you live in defeat, unable to sustain victory.

This is what the warfare is about.

It’s time for Christians to start winning some victories through faith. We have to cast down imaginations, which are demonic arguments that exalt themselves in our thinking and emotions to create doubt and undermine what we know about God.

Through the Word of God, we can begin to get a victory in our thinking. Sitting in His presence affects us deeply. The grace and goodness of God allows us to repent so we can put on the mind of Christ.

The task at hand is to gain victory over the enemy by identifying our vulnerabilities, demolishing his strongholds, and building a healthy stronghold in its place that is occupied by the holy ghost.

Jesus is a Deliverer and Saver. He wants to deliver your whole being, making your spirit, soul, and body free.

1 Corinthians 10:4-5 “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds; casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.”
