In a kingdom the jurisdiction is determined by the ground under the authority of the king. There may be many different individuals toward whom we are bitter. God warns us not to be deceived by vain philosophies. Decisions contrary to God s will. When Satan constructs a line of reason- ing in our minds which is contrary to Scripture, he then influences our wills to make wrong decisions.
Wrong decisions produce destructive emotions such as fear, anger, depression, and worry.
Strongholds can be pulled down. These weapons of truth are designed to cast down every false philosophy and every deceptive imagination and to bring every thought into line with the truth of Christ s teaching. Based on this false conclusion, Satan convinces husbands and wives to divorce each other, children to rebel against their parents, employees to quit their jobs, and factions to begin in churches. God promises wives that they can win their unbelieving husbands by demonstrating a meek and quiet spirit and by learning how to show sincere honor to their husbands. God urges husbands to love their wives and not to be bitter toward them.
