Allow me to share an excerpt from an article I scanned: “In the only mention of strongholds appears in the New Testament, when Paul wrote, “. . . the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds” (2 Corinthians 10:4). “ and . . . “A stronghold can be a mental crutch that accompanies negative behavior and distorts one’s faith and life in Christ. It can create a vicious cycle: distorting of God’s truth leads to thoughts and actions that damage us and our relationships, which lead to fresh negative thoughts and behavior.
For example, living under the stronghold of shame makes us feel unworthy of love or affection. Negative thoughts lead to negative behaviors—so, we may isolate ourselves from others or take dangerous risks.”source
Just something to ponder — strongholds. Do we have any?
Precedence set; we know GOD knew the answer when He asked the question, and we know He knew the answer to all the other questions He asked in Scripture. You can follow His questions through the Old Testament right on into the New Testament.
Peter answered Him. We too have or will answer Him. (See Philippians 2:10-11) If you haven’t answered Him already, and if He is asking you now, today would be a great day to respond. Check out Mark 8 to see how Peter answered Him.
We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. We estimate there to be over 3,000 posts here at The White Stone Blog. Please know my hope is ALWAYS to help and NEVER harm. I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
