Tearing down strongholds
For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ ( 2 Corinthians 10:4-5). This verse says a great deal. We have weapons, we are in warfare, our war is not against our loved ones, but against the devil. We are told that it is our war and "we" are to initiate the attack, not God. And our weapons are not of this world, but are God's "divine power" and AUTHORITY, to use God's power to destroy the devil's strongholds and arguments in a person, so that the light of the truth may come in.
Take up the sword of the Word and in His divine power, tear down those strongholds. Jesus said to His disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free ( John 8:32).
Bind up the enemy against your mind. In Jesus Name cast the evil spirit into outer darkness. If it's friends bug you, say I do not receive your lies! In Jesus Name! I always remind them they are going to hell.
The Word of God in your mouth, is a weapon; a sword.
You're going to hear a miracle. Silence.
Mishael

That is my daily prayer to ask God to give me clarity in this trial and I pray and don't believe I have made anything idol before God because I am always conscious, but not perfect. If there is anything unacceptable or unpleasing to God, I ask Him to show me and cleanse me!
Thanks
Satan's power in the Mind Of Man is limited to the lies and deceptions that he can get us to believe. If we are on guard for the enemy's attacks and if we refuse to let any of the enemy's lies and deceptions remain in our mind, then Satan has no power over us. If we, both Christian and non-Christian, permit Satan to build false strongholds in OUR MIND, he gains considerable power over us, and the sad part of deception is that it is very hard for the person who is deceived to believe that they are deceived, so start early casting out the enemy's fiery darts of thoughts before they grow into deceptions and the deceptions grow into a stronghold. Ephesians 6
Tearing down strongholds:

From me: it's ok to get hopping mad at Satan and launch some heavy scriptures at Him. Resist the Devil and he must flee!!
Cast out the demons into outer darkness and the ask God if you can have angelic support? Make sure your home is "idol free". Ask the Holy Spirit to do a walk through with you. I'll be in the Questions Room. Mishael
There is none righteous; no not one.
Everyone in here is a sinner saved by GRACE.
You need to ask God to wipe all those memories from your brain. Finally you will have rest from Satans accusations.
I have a testimony as you will have; but I do not experience daily shame for things I did. I thought satan was a guy in a red rented costume. I was the big astrologer! Who took drugs and enough alcohol to float a ship. I didn't know how close to hell I was.
My Past is hid in Christ now. It has no more power over me. Only Peace.
Just ask Jesus to deliver you from those memories, fully. Then give your testimony to Jesus to use as He Wills.
You will be free finally and forever. Everything on your account ledger in Gods Book will only show your name next to Jesus's Blood.
Do it today.
Mishael
How do you distinguish your "choice" to not sin as different from you're having a hand in salvation? You are in essence able to take credit for your salvation because you have a power to obey or not! Yes or no?
I feel like you're taking alot of liberty with the tenses of the word, specifically with Paul in Romans.
Let me be clear I do not condone a life of sin and if a professing believer is walking in a way that is in contradiction to The Way, then they ought be cognizant of their potential jeopardy and proving themselves deceived.
A few thougts,
The Just Judge will judge rightly.
Whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
If a person walks away from their active relationship with The Lord because they do not want to be luke warm, is that not an act of faith?
I walked away in accordance with our Lord's imperative to rather be "hot or cold" and not lukewarm.
What pain. What sorrow I have caused in the 24 some years since I first "walked away" from my faith.
Today I have been through alot. Too much tbh. But His Grace is sufficient for me. I have strong desire to walk in righteousness and please The Master Potter. To allow Him to work out the Christian life through me.
But my journey (which included learning of the "doctrine of eternal security" in my 20's via Calvary Chapel and Fundamental Baptist circles, and especially the Gospel of John) has not been so neat and tidy. I am struggling with methamphetamine addiction and the guilt of two failed marriages. I trust Christ.
What would you say to me or someone like me David Black? Not that I put my trust in a mans words these days, but I'm greatly interested in your take on a testimony like mine because you speak of a life that has stopped sinning.
How would you comfort or tell someone to abandon all hope in a situation such as this? I'm interested because while I do not trust in man's words I love the Brethren and enjoy fellowship. (Just a few of what I perceive as evidence's of God's saving grace in my life)
Awaiting your reply,

When a person quotes scripture I will never disagree. It's when we start with our exegesis that I am very very particular in agreeing or taking an opinion.
You speak of full sanctification of the spirit. Agreed.
So what would you say to a person who has had a muddied testimony or one who is struggling to stop sinning? How can a person repent and still have confidence in Jesus if they keep stumbling. Where does the will stop and start? Where / how does your take on faith and The Word account for the distinction of the flesh and the spirit?
A bit of my testimony if I may. Raised by an Orthodox Jewish father and a converted from Protestant Christianity to the aforementioned mother I was taught both The Torah and about a man named Jesus who was the true Messiah respectively. My mom never gave up her faith in Jesus, on her death bed when the wrong flavor of minister came to her bed side she scolded him and said, "WE DON'T PRAY TO MARY". lol, but I digress.
At the age of 13 I experienced an overwhelming up-springing of the aforementioned influences and felt a great hunger for the things of Faith. Now divorced my mom and my new step dad had a handful of Bibles around the house. I grabbed the first one I found, a NKJV "translation". I devoured the Gospel of Matthew. I said, "THIS IS IT! I must have Jesus!" I called on the Lord for salvation and asked mom if we could start going to church. She took me to a local Assembly of God church that her dad enjoyed here in the Valley of The Sun (PHX AZ) when he had visited. I don't know if you're familiar with AoG doctrines but they're essentially Arminian. I began to flourish until my victimization as a small child combined with the hormones of middle teen years and what I attribute to my own pride prevented me from seeking help and instead of struggling with "losing my salvation" every time a pretty girl passed in front of me in the class halls I did what little I knew from Matthew and Revelation. I walked away.
I know I shouldn't be sinning anymore & I do my best not to sin wilfully. It's funny you should say that it seems as though after a certain amount of time things just changed inside you. I feel like that's what is happening to me.
I believe The Holy Spirit is guiding me & I know it's not ok to sin. I'm more aware of my sin now & listen/sing Christian songs or pray when I become aware of it. I have never experienced the Lord speaking to me, but I think that He'd do the same with me if there's something that I was unaware of. I believe that God will reveal these things to me at the right time. Like our younger pastor said, if God revealed all my sin to me at once I wouldn't be able to cope with it. I also believe that going through these things makes us stronger (& wiser too.)
I do pray that God will help me with certain things. I know that He's helping me because I know I couldn't have done things on my own. Thank you for all your encouragement & support.
God bless you & your family.
Kind Regards

I just have a problem with people who have Christian magnets on the back of their cars; doing 75 in a 45mph speed zone. We ought to remember to obey all traffic laws. It saves lives. Amen?
depression. We both were healed from COVID in July and my pastor husband has cancer.
Please pray for my family and myself.
Thank you!
No problem. I only hope to help you as the others here do also. The other post I made to you wasn't a reply so that's probably why you didn't get an e-mail for it. Sorry. The posts just get so small after a while I just made a post with your name on it. It's on the fourth page right now maybe on the fifth by the time you may get to look.
To answer your question about when I stated "the Holy Spirit taught me". I guess I can say the Lord uses many different ways to teach us. Some people, even myself, would have thought that the Lord would have told me satan was telling me to keep on doing things like drugs, and other things. It actually seemed as though after a certain amount of time things just changed inside of me on their own. The Holy Spirit just began guiding me the right way even though a voice was telling me "it was ok". One night after I did something the Lord said "do you really think I'm ok with you doing that?" I was confused and said "but you said it was ok." The same statement was said a second time and that was it. I got on my knees and prayed I was sorry but I was still confused. Other things happened and it just became clear that the voice I was hearing that was telling me "it was ok" to do certain things was not our Father. As now I understand the reason He didn't tell me, right away, is because after going through those things it made me stronger.
Just keep your faith and trust in the Lord and He will do what's best for you as he knows everything. Keep praying to Him. Ask Him for any help you need with anything. To guide you to the truth. He hears you always.
God Bless you sister.

Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves
Ephesians 2:14
For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us
Ephesians 2:15
Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace
Ephesians 2:16
"And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:"
"And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh."
"For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father
"Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;"
"And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;"
"In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:"
"In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit."

Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away
King James Bible
Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord
