Breaking Strongholds!

I am writing after almost a month. It was a beautiful day, may be just because it was friday and I was eagerly waiting for the long weekend. Which means for three days I can relax and read as much as I want. A good break for me and you as well if you are in Canada.
Some people at work were talking about dooms day; May 21, 2011, when the world will come to an end. I was little excited as I will see my Father and I will see Jesus. Some people didn't understand the smile on my face. All I could tell them was, make sure you are in heaven with me.
I don't have many affections left in this world. I think it's just a preparation. I have started seeing this world as a temporary home, which is the reality. God is teaching me how to enter His Kingdom. Every thought I think, is corrected, every word I want to write and speak is corrected. Whomsoever God loves, He corrects. He is Mighty and Merciful. He holds me in His tender hands. When I don't have anyone to talk to , I talk to Him. He replies through His word. When we start establishing a stronger and deeper relationship with the Father and the Son, we start to lose interest in the attachments/affections of this world. Our yearning grows to be in His presence and to be with people who share the same relationship with Him.
As we grow closer to Him we also start recognising the adversary. We stop focussing on the symptoms of sins and we start focussing and praying for the root cause of the sin. The enemy is very clever, it tries to establish the stronghold and tries to keep us away from the truth, but God's power breaks every stronghold. So if 'A' is cursing and blaming 'B' , B'' shouldn't focus on why 'A' cursed 'B' but focus on what or who made 'A' curse 'B'. Pray that the enemy will lose it's control in 'A's life and 'A' will see and understand the truth and Christ's will set 'A' free.
All believer's have authority over the evil one. Apostle Paul said that "the weapons of our warfare are not carnal (of a fleshly or earthly nature), but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds" (2 Cor. 10:4).
"Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you" (James 4:7).
As my most revered Ma taught me, I wear the armor of God each morning before I walk out of my door."Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil" (Ephesians 6:11).

So my dear friends go after the real source of sin and evil because Jesus has given you the authority. Jesus stands in victory and those who believe in Him also stand with Him and share His victory. Amen!
God Bless you!
