In this message, we step away briefly from the Gospel of John to address one of the most critical spiritual issues facing believers today: strongholds.

With more access to Scripture than any generation before us, why do so many Christians still feel stuck, resistant, or stalled in their walk with God? The Bible identifies the issue not as a lack of information, but as fortified ways of thinking that resist God’s truth.

Using 2 Corinthians 10:1–6, this teaching explains:

• What strongholds are — and what they are not
• How strongholds form through internal arguments and elevated beliefs
• Why strongholds hinder transformation but do not remove salvation
• How Satan operates as the accuser by exploiting agreements with lies
• Why spiritual warfare is fought in the realm of the mind, not the flesh

This sermon also provides a clear, biblical process for breaking strongholds:

1. Identify the lie
2. Compare it with Scripture
3. Repent (change your mind)
4. Replace the lie with truth
5. Walk in obedience

From doctrinal and authority strongholds to identity, emotional, and behavioral strongholds, this message calls believers to renewed thinking, freedom in Christ, and a deeper, more obedient walk with Him.

Key Scriptures:
2 Corinthians 10:1–6, Romans 12:2, James 1:14–15, John 8:31–32, John 10:10, Romans 8:1

When truth is no longer resisted, life begins to flow.
The truth doesn’t just inform — it sets you free.
