Name the truth that demolishes Satan’s stronghold.
The Bible says, “We are human, but we don’t wage war with human plans and methods. We use God’s mighty power to demolish the Devil’s strongholds.” (2 Corinthians 10:4)
We use what? God’s mighty power. The word power is the Greek word dunamis … from which we get the word Dynamite. How do we get free from the Devil’s stronghold, the Devil’s dungeon, the lies we believe about ourselves? We blow through them with God’s dynamite! We demolish those lies with the Truth … and the Truth will set us free!
When the Devil tells you, “You’ll never make it. You’ll never be happy. You’ll never get out of debt. You’ll never meet someone who will love you. You’ll never get a job you love. You’ll never get healthy, get sober, get past this” … When the Devil tells you that, you look that pointy-tailed liar in the eye, and you tell him the truth: “Oh, yeah? God says I’m blessed. I’m loved. I’m exceptional. I’m moving forward. I’m getting stronger. I’m getting better. I may not be there yet – but I’m not where I once was. I may not be perfect – but I’m forgiven. My steps are guided by God. My past is forgiven, my present is filled with love, and my future is in heaven. That’s God’s honest truth.”
