  3. HOW DOES THE ENEMY CONSTRUCT A SPIRITUAL STRONGHOLD IN OUR LIVES?

  4. Unconfessed or unrepentant sin in your life • Occult and Ungodly Spiritual Activities • Lies and errors you have believed • Unforgiveness and bitterness • Socio-cultural Thinking

  5. HOW DO I KNOW? So here are some legitable questions to ask yourself to help you get to the root of your strongholds.  - What is a constant battleground in my life? - What unhealthy habit or unhealthy thought pattern has a stronghold on you? - What do I constantly struggle with?

  6. Acting by FAITH (Joshua 6:1-7) “Though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses” (2 Corinthians 10:3-4)

  7. Walking by OBEDIENCE (Joshua 6:8-14) For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith (1 John 5:4) By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days. By faith Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient, because she had given a friendly welcome to the spies (Hebrews 11:30-31)

  8. Fighting with COURAGE (Joshua 6:15-19) “And be not conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God” (Romans 12:2)

  9. ENDURANCE (Joshua 6:20-25) “He erased the certificate of debt, with its obligations, that was against us and opposed to us, and has taken it out of the way by nailing it to the cross” (Colossians 2:14)

  10. CURSES (Joshua 6:26) This was fulfilled in 1 Kings 16:34, which says,  “In his days Hiel of Bethel built Jericho. He laid its foundation with Abiram his firstborn, and with his youngest son Segub he set up its gates, according to the word of the LORD, which He had spoken through Joshua the son of Nun.”

  11. FULFILMENT (Joshua 6:27) · Faith: Joshua and Israel believed the battle plan. · Obedience: Joshua and Israel followed the battle plan exactly. · Courage: Israel followed the battle plan despite danger. · Endurance: Israel followed the battle plan over a period of time, even when it seemed that nothing was happening.
