I saw a question online about what's a stronghold. This is what I came up with. Is this a good answer?


A stronghold is a castle, fortress or place from which an army launches its attack. Babylon is described as a demonic stronghold, “… the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.”

These biblical terms describe demonic strongholds:
* power of darkness (Col 1:13)
* dominion of iniquity, sin, death (Ps 119:33; Rom 6:14; Rom 6:9)
* works of the flesh (Gal 5:19-21)
* works of unrighteousness (Rom 1:29)
* idolatry which is equated with demon worship in scriptures (Ps 106:33-37; Zech 10:2; Deut 32:17; 1 Cor 10:19-20)
* fear of death (Heb 1:14, 15)
* power of the air (Eph 2:2).
* spirit of disobedience/obey not the gospel (Col 3:6; 1 Thes 1:8)
* forms of godliness with no power of God/religious spirits (2 Tim 3:5)
* imaginations (2 Cor 10: 5. Reasonings hostile to Christian faith such as evolution)
* every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God (2 Cor 10:5. Something that is lifted up or exalted in opposition to God)

This could refer to any spirit that opposes the knowledge of God in any form. High things that exalt themselves against the knowledge of God.

That which exalts itself against the knowledge of God will be reflected in lifestyles. A person may…
* refuse to acknowledge the truth of God
* refuse to glorify God
* refuse to be thankful
* become vain/foolish/empty in his/her imagination
* practice idolatry
* engage in sexual perversion
* practice unrighteousness which is contrary to God

Brother, I will keep my eyes open. We're experiencing a lot of growth in our fellowship. It shouldn't be a surprise that satan would act out.

I did ask her about what you had mentioned with the women. Say if a man has a charming spirit, what is the opposite in women? What would keep a woman coming back to that abusive and life-threatening relationship? And why would she even go to the lengths of defending her oppressor? Her response....she just blinked. Yeah, she's got something going on too. People usually aren't born masochists.

Thank you for talking it out. You may hear more about it. It will probably get messy.

God bless,
Mary O.

Thank you Mike,
