HOW TO OVERCOME STRONGHOLDS  9/21/13 

 

HEARD:  I love these dishes, they cost more than you think. 

 

PIX: I saw a well-organized utensil drawer where there was a slot for each utensil.  However there were some of the children’s utensils on top of them and they were faced the wrong direction.

 

HEARD:  The arches on McDonalds are golden.  Why?  Reach higher. 

 

HEARD:  Come up higher and bring forth clean fruit.   Taste and see that the Lord is good.  Strongholds demolish.  Sweet memories, bitter memories.  Recalling memories keep strongholds alive.  Understanding that some memories are not nice, bitterness removed.  They wont be remembered forever. These are My own ones, having overcome the attempts of the enemy to poison their waters.  Bitter soil. 

 

HEARD:  What is a stronghold? 

 

2 Corinthians 10:3-6 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh: 4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds;) 5 Casting down arguments, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 And having a readiness to punish all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

 

HEARD:  Root of bitterness.  Seeking clarity from a mental stronghold.  But.  There are no buts.  We are still not done.  A valiant effort.  Comfort one another with these words.  Over time.  Strongholds do fall.  To think differently.

 

[I was thinking about thinking clearly, properly distinguishing issues in life through His perspective and truth:]

 

James 3:11 Does a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?

 

  • Clarity and bitterness cannot come from the same well.

  • Understanding and bitterness cannot come from the same well.

  • Bitterness clouds and poisons all that it comes in contact with. 

 

HEARD:  Stronghold.  Clarity.  It is as you say. 

What is a stronghold?  I will show you and teach you.  Anything that makes you vulnerable to taking the mark of the beast.  The horseman has he not taken it?  

 

Revelation 6:2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

 

1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as you have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; by which we know that it is the last time.

 

HEARD:  That’s where the world is headed dear ones.  It’s one thing to see somebody’s ideals, it’s another to live them.  Take this to heart. 

 

James 1:22 But be you doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

 

HEARD:  Our places of captivity.

 

PIX: I saw a red sports car with only 2 seats in the front.

HEARD:  The wife and the kids, they are doing better.

VISION: I saw an elderly man being wheeled around in a wheel chair. I saw a huge giant looming over a wheel chair and wheeling it.

 

VISION: I saw a large group of bikers who were riding together in a unified group and they all had safety helmets on.  In the opposite lane someone was stopped short because he realized he was going in the wrong direction. 

 

HEARD:  The Lord has shown me.  How empty. 

 

Hos 10:4 NLT

They spout empty words and make covenants they don't intend to keep. So injustice springs up among them like poisonous weeds in a farmer's field.

 

HEARD:  Now what to do about it?  Take your thoughts captives.  Giant, what you face.  Do not let it have rule.  Be obedient to scripture.  Forgive, let go, bless.

 

2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down arguments, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

 

PIX:  I saw the words, forgive, let GO, BLESS.

 

Matthew 6:15 But if you forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

 

FORGIVE

863. αφιημι aphiemi
from 575 and hiemi (to send; an intensive form of eimi, to go); to send forth, in various applications (as follow):cry, forgive, forsake, lay aside, leave, let (alone, be, go, have), omit, put (send) away, remit, suffer, yield up.

 

 

WORD O’ GRAM TO FORGIVE

To put away,

Omit, passover or leave out,

Forsake, leave behind,

Overlook, lay aside,

Remit, yield up... the sin, offense, stumbling block, trespass, evil deed is

Gone and left behind, I wont carry it any more.

I choose to let go of what offends and fails to meet my expectations,

Valuing my freedom and their liberty more than punishment of both sides...

Experiencing a new heart where angry bitterness once reigned.

 

Rom 4:7-8 AMP

Blessed and happy and to be envied are those whose iniquities are forgiven and whose sins are covered up and completely buried. Blessed and happy and to be envied is the person of whose sin the Lord will take no account nor reckon it against him. [Ps 32:1,2.]

 

Matt 18:21-23 NKJV

Then Peter came to Him and said, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?" Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.

 

HEARD:  Embrace with a full heart of love.  Let My goodness conquer evil.  I AM kind.  I forgive.  I AM loving.  I bend low.  To be gracious.  Even to My enemies.  Now you do it.  Use this on your thoughts.  Follow through. 

 

Romans 12:21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

 

Luke 6:35-36 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward shall be great, and you shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. 36 Be you therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

 

Matthew 5:44-48 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them who despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 That you may be the children of your Father who is in heaven: for he makes his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if you love them who love you, what reward have you? do not even the tax collectors the same? 47 And if you greet your brethren only, what do you more than others? do not even the tax collectors so? 48 Be you therefore perfect, even as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.

 

WORD TO PONDER:  OVERCOMING STRONGHOLDS  9/21/13

I AM sending truth to help My own ones overcome strongholds - twisted ways of thinking that are not in submission to the Word of My truth.  Many strongholds come from nurturing and recalling bitter childhood memories.  Grab ahold of these thoughts and submit them to Me.  Forgive and let go, put them down at the foot of My cross and let Me wash you, beloved ones. 

 

Allow My Spirit to cleanse your heart from bitter soil so that you can find a new way of thinking, or perceiving life.  Those who do not go through this process will become so embittered, that the lying antichrist spirit will overtake them and destroy their soul.  Take this to heart, and learn to DO My Word, not just hear it.  Every thought that does not align with My Word, take it captive and into complete submission.  Yes sometimes you must do this all day long until you have finally thrown it down.  This is a spiritual battle and I have given you power to overthrow.

 

Learn to forgive, let go of all offenses that have caused you sorrow.  Forsake those places of stumbling, leave them behind.  Forgive and release those who have hurt you from all judgment.  How?  BLESS them.  I AM good, forgiving, gracious, loving and kind dear ones.  Follow Me.  Love even your enemies, those who seek to destroy your lives.  In so doing you will not only save your own soul, but possibly change their heart and save them from hell.  Always overcome evil with good.  That is Who I AM.

 

2Co 10:4-5 AMP

4 For the weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood], but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds,

5 [Inasmuch as we] refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God; and we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
