An open door is how demons get in; STRONGHOLDS are how they stay.

In the Bible, strongholds can refer to defensive structures, arguments against God, or ideas that lead people away from obeying Christ.

Emotions like anger, rejection, shame, envy, and fear can also become spiritual strongholds that disconnect people from Christ.

*There are 3 main open doors to demons:*
1. Inherited
2. Involved
3. Intrusion

Inherited refers to when demons come in through the bloodline.

Involved refers to when you participate in things that open doors for demons.

Intrusion refers to when demons enter through an abuse or someone violates you.

*COMMON STRONGHOLDS ARE:*
1. Fear
2. Anger
3. Rejection
4. Depression
5. Abuse
6. Self-hatred

Think of an open door as the front door of a house, while a stronghold is a room in the house. *PEOPLE DON'T STAY IN THE FRONT DOOR, THEY STAY IN A ROOM.* Demons enter through the open doors and stay in strongholds.

*How to demolish strongholds?*

1. Replace stronghold thoughts with scriptural truths.
2. Write "I will" or "I am" statements that counter negative thoughts.
3. Declare these statements aloud to create a new pattern of thinking.

*Ephesians 4:27* says, "and give no opportunity to the devil".

The *Biggest* step you will always take towards your *Future* is the one away from your *Past!*

*BIBLE VERSES ABOUT STRONGHOLDS.*

*Psalm 18:2* says "The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold"

*2 Corinthians 10:4* says, "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds

*What are those weapons?* A holy life, the Holy Spirit, prayer, the Word of God, faith, truth - these are the weapons of God for supernatural warfare.

*HELP PEOPLE TO FIND SALVATION, HOPE, PEACE, DELIVERANCE, AND PURPOSE THROUGH CHRIST*

Learn to FORGIVE properly.

You can not leave this earth with unforgiveness in your heart. You must forgive. The Bible teaches us that unforgiveness fills the heart of man with bitterness and animosity towards others.

*REMEMBER:* God loves your enemies too and would be happy if they Repented. So don't wish your enemies death. Pray for them.

*IT'S THE EVIL SPIRITS AND DEMONS THAT IS CONTROLLING THEM YOU SHOULD BIND AND CAST OUT INTO HELL.*

Demons can use music to influence your thoughts and emotions. Choose music with positive themes that align with your spiritual beliefs.

Demons can be cast out instantly, but strongholds take time to bring down. *IT IS A PROCESS* Put in "Faith and Work" to achieve Holiness and Righteousness in Christ Jesus with the help of the Holy Spirit.

As you get closer to God, the strongholds reduce or disappear. The higher you go, the lower the strongholds. *SO FLY HIGH LIKE AN EAGLE* and watch the little birds fall off and disappear.
