The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. It was her way of trying to get me to think sober when I was doing something wrong. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
Strongholds speak of a city with an iron wall built around it for protection from an enemy attack.
We don't have iron walls erected, but we do have iron wills that resist obedient change. The enemy who has a strong hold on us is deeply entrenched in our minds. He is deeply embedded in our emotions and wills. A group of golfers were sitting round talking about their game. Each of us is our own spiritual handicap.
