More
great news! Negative strongholds can be broken down, however, not in our own
strength. We need the guidance of the Holy Spirit so that we can be ever so
close to our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus. Christ Jesus is our Master Healer
and his desire is that we all are free indeed.
Unfortunately,
there are many churches that believe that Christ’s church is a hospital instead
of a wellness center. The difference in the both is time. In fact, I have heard
many pastors say that churches are hospitals but I want you to take a moment
and imagine something with me. Let us use your imagination for a moment for
good. Imagine that you became ill and you had to stay in the hospital for 1, 5,
10, or even 20 years in a hospital, how much money would you think it would
cost you to remain in a hospital at today’s prices? Would you continue to stay
or would you finally walk away? I would think that you would walk away
because there would be no hope for healing. Could this be a reason that
churches are losing church members each week? Maybe it could be one of the main
reasons.
So,
how come there are so many individual sitting on our church pews each weekend,
broken, bitter, in unnecessary pain and with no remedy in sight? Because, we
have become Hospice Churches in that some individual will never seem get healed
and they die unnecessarily and prematurely. No! This cannot continue. When I
hear that someone is going into hospice, I know that that means the inevitable
will happen…death. Hospice is the end of the road on this earth but, spiritual
strongholds should not be treated as a long-term care process, but through
Christ, it should be a short term process. Meaning, when Christ heals us, we
become walking and living testimonies for Christ. Unfortunately, it is our
strongholds that keep us in spiritual bondage and spiritually sick. Praise God
that strongholds can be broken by the Master Healer Christ Jesus. The Bible
says “For the weapons of our warfare are not
carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds” 2 Corinthians 10:4
Mighty through
God to the pulling down of strongholds, this is what we need to be free indeed
in Christ. The spiritual warfare is great and the enemy is ruthless, he will
plant all sorts of strongholds in our lives so that we will not seek Him (Christ)
who desires the best for us. Satan strategically places us in places where we
will surely die spiritually.
When
I was much younger, I attempted several times to leave the church because I was
hurt by members of the church (physically, emotionally, sexually and
spiritually) and I became sick in spirit. After many years of struggling, I
left the church completely. The Hospice Church did not work for me and I paid a
huge debt by staying and not receiving the correct care that I needed.
What
was my sickness? An unforgiving heart and a strong imagination that became a
cancer so great that all I could do is exalt myself into believing that I was
greater than Christ because I should not have suffered at all. Although I
really did not think this way, my actions clearly stated such. Eventually, I
began to die on my own until Christ revived me again.
Don’t waste another time away
from Christ, He wants you to heal from your past, he wants to tear down your
strongholds and he is waiting for you to surrender everything to him. If you
find yourself in a hospice church, ask the Holy Spirit to guide you to a church
where you will be in a wellness center, where you will be loved, accepted and
treated for your wounds, where you will know that the Master Healer is there?
Do you need your strongholds to
be broken down? Then go to Christ. He is waiting to tear down your strongholds
today!!! Don’t wait another moment. Be free indeed.
