So, strongholds are not always
negative! Did you know that we need a stronghold that fortified the walls of
our minds so that we are not attacked? This is why we need to place the helmet
of Salvation. This protects us from Satan’s attack. So, we need strongholds,
but then there are strongholds that are destructive and they are from within
our hearts and our minds and because of abuse, we have a high propensity to
block out our Creator. So, where do strongholds come from?
Would you believe that we can trace where strongholds first began? Well, it is true. As I mentioned on my post “What Are Strongholds?” I made mention that strongholds derive from faulty or in this case defective thinking and focusing on healing from sexual abuse. Well, strongholds began at first not by the results of any type of abuse at all but by a defective thought that infiltrated the heart of the one perceiving the situation. As I mentioned, strongholds for us can be born as a result from different types of abuses.
When a baby is born, he does not have any strongholds but as he or she continues to develop in the lifespan and if abuse exists, she or he is predispose with organic mental issues, or there is an instruction to substance abuse, then these things will alter our perceptions whether they are true or not, these perceptions if are negative then strongholds will begin to develop like a cancer.
So, where did strongholds begin? Strongholds began in the oddest of places. Strongholds began with a perfect being. His name was Lucifer and he was an angel of light. The Bible says of Lucifer “For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation On the farthest sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.” Isaiah 14:12-14
For Lucifer has said in his heart, this is something that means that Lucifer was already thinking defectively about Jesus. You see, Lucifer became jealous of Christ and this caused Lucifer to begin to think faulty, the result then became covetousness, bitterness and hatred. Then, Lucifer began to plan out how he will be over Christ, this shows that his perception of Christ was negative and he could not turn from his wicked ways and proceeded to act upon his own reasoning above the Divine Authority. Negative Strongholds began with Lucifer now known as Satan.
The Divine Authority in Heaven had to cast Lucifer out of Heaven because the father of negative strongholds was contaminating other angels and Light and darkness cannot reign together. The Bible says “ And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” Revelation 12:7-9
Since Satan was cast out and came to earth, then he brought his strongholds with him. Since strongholds begin in the mind he tested his new demonic influences to enter Eve’s mind in questioning the Divine Authority. Eve’s sin was not that she ate the fruit, but that she allowed Satan to put doubt on the Divine Authority. Doubt of the Divine Authority caused her to fall Genesis 3. Doubt of God’s authority was one of the first strongholds because she listened to another voice other than her Master Creator. Since, we have been fighting strongholds. Great news! Christ Jesus breaks strongholds. So, what strongholds do you think you have been fighting with that is not allowing you to reach a level of healing in Christ?
