Destroying Strongholds of the Mind Causing Anxiety and Stress

Three steps to break strongholds of the mind as thought

Strongholds of the mind are negative thoughts when we believe a lie opposite to God's truth. The more you replay the lie, the stronger it gets that must be pulled down and broken. Strongholds of the mind can also develop if we keep replaying hurts, regrets of the past, shame, and more.

how to break strongholds scriptures

2 Corinthians 10:4 - Strongholds can’t be brought down with carnal weapons. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds… ******************************

Our Lord is the king of the Present and Future.

He wants you to live in the present and not in the past. That's Satan's kingdom to separate you from you and not have peace. Satan wants you to live in the past, receive his accusation, or replay the hurts and pains of the past.

Jesus forgave us of our past at salvation, but the enemy does not want us to believe this truth.

How do we break a stronghold in mind? 1) Recognize the lie. Is it God's character to accuse you, put guilt on you, etc. No way. Did it exist in the garden? It didn't. Once you recognize the stronghold - the thought, the next step to bringing it down is repentance.

So, step 2 is to cast down the lie. 2 Cor. says Cast down every vain imagination that exhausts itself against God. Step 3: reframe your mind with the Lord's truth.

Isn't that what Jesus did with Satan when coming off his fast in the wilderness? He quoted the Word three times, and Satan fleed away. That is spiritual warfare and renewing the mind. Don't give in to the lies. He wants to steal your identity, purpose, and what Jesus did on the cross. John 10:10.

Fight the good fight.

God's Way to Renew Your Mind

Changing the way you think

Renewing our minds from the old thinking to have the mind of Christ is essential and is a daily process to remove the negative, stinking thinking.

We are new creatures – we are now in Christ, but our minds need renewing from the environment, old beliefs, etc.
How do we do that?  

Romans 8:1 “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”  

There is a condition. Not to walk in the flesh but in the spirit. Is our carnal mind spirit or flesh? 

So, how do we renew our minds?

According to Romans 12:2 “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
We are to renew our mind. How often?

In 2 Corinthians 4:16

16 "For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day."
What do we renew? In Ephesians 4:23  “And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;”

How do we do this? In Joshua 1:8-9

8 "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. 9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest."

Negative thinking or wrong beliefs about yourself can keep you stuck from entering Christ's fullness.
