23. Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on the full
armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's
schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the
rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and
against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put
on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be
able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

45. Whenever we seek to meet one or more of
these basic needs outside God we have
set the stage for the development of a
generational stronghold.
Satan convinced Eve to believe God was
holding out on her, and He would not meet her
needs so she chose to meet her own need.

48. Spiritual Strongholds Work At The Subconscious
Level. Their Influence Is Often Unseen Until There Is
A Problem.
Strongholds are designed to keep us from experiencing
God’s love. Strongholds are often generational.
All strongholds that are built in our lives are aAll strongholds that are built in our lives are a
result of seeking to meet one or more of theseresult of seeking to meet one or more of these
needs apart from God’s will for us.needs apart from God’s will for us.

49. Stronghold Development Process
1) Satan inspires THOUGHTS into my mind (subconsciously) which
appeal to my natural tendencies to meet needs.
2) Entertaining these thoughts brings on EMOTIONS.
3) Giving in to emotions eventually leads to taking some sort of
ACTION.
4) Continual participation in this behavior causes me to develop a
HABIT.
5) Once a habit is developed, a STRONGHOLD is built by that spirit

50. Strongholds oppress versus possess. They:
(1) Control, dictate, and influence our attitudes and
behavior;
(2) Oppress and discourage us; and
(3) Affect how we view or react to situations,
circumstances, or people.

55. Arrested Development
Def: When a wound in childhood freezes
emotional maturity to within 2 years of the
wound. The adult lives as a child emotionally.
“ You’re acting like a child.”
55

56. “Arrested development that is caused by
the wounds of childhood amplifies or
magnifies our sin nature. The deeper the
wounds, the more we act selfishly and
childishly. When we have too much
childhood trauma, we are hindered in our
ability to develop genuine healthy
relationships with our Creator and others
close to us. We can’t readily reach out or
accept others—because our wounds have
made us unteachable, unable to trust and
afraid of truth.”
Dr. Paul Hegstrom, author of Broken children,
Grown Up Pain.
56
i.e., Michael Jackson

57. False-self - Poser
“I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid” (Gen. 3:10).
Whenever we are wounded we seek to hide from
our true self because our shame says we will not
be acceptable to others as we are. We are driven
to hide behind our “fig leaf” (false-self, false-
covering) that protects us from our true self.
This all happens on a subconscious basis as a
built-in protection mechanism from wounds we
received as a child.
i.e. Groundhog day – Bill Murray

58. “90% of marital difficulties are rooted in a
trauma experienced by one or more

69. The Heart – John Eldredge
“His plan from the beginning was to assault the
heart, just as the Wicked Witch did to the Tin
Woodman. Make them so busy, they ignore the
heart. Wound them so deeply, they don't want a
heart. Twist their theology, so they despise the
heart. Take away their courage. Destroy their
creativity. Make intimacy with God impossible
for them.
69

70. The Heart – John Eldredge
Of course your heart would be the object
of a great and fierce battle. It is your most
precious possession. Without your heart you
cannot have God. Without your heart you cannot
have love. Without your heart you cannot have
faith. Without your heart you cannot find the
work you were meant to do. In other words,
without your heart you cannot have life. “

85. Larry Crabb, Shattered Dreams
All of us are trapped by addiction to a desire for
something less than God. For many women, that
something less is relational control. “I will not
be hurt again and I will not let people I love be
hurt. I’ll see to it that what I fear never happens
again.” They therefore live in terror of vulnerably
presenting themselves to anyone and instead
become determined managers of people. Their
true femininity remains safely tucked away
behind the walls of relational control.

Steps to Freedom From
Strongholds
1.Identify Strongholds and their Symptoms. Rank them
from 1(lowest influence)-10 (greatest) by the level of
influence they have. Work with someone close to
you to confirm the strongholds. i.e., spouse, close
friend.
2. Confess and renounce the influence of strongholds
in Jesus’ name. Each believer has the power of the
Holy Spirit to renounce the influence of strongholds
over their life. We “have divine power to demolish
strongholds” (2 Corinthians 10:4).
3. Meditate and walk according to the Word. Renew
your mind.
