Continuing on in Lee Thomas’ book Living the Exceedingly Victorious Life, we are talking about freedom from strongholds.  Each day we are faced with a battle in our minds–will we have thoughts of fear, worry, lust, envy, bitterness, hatred, dishonor?  What thoughts are holding us captive to the will of the enemy?  What thoughts are turning our hearts from the Lord?

As Lee repeats in his book, unbelief in Jesus is the most difficult stronghold in the lost; but as a believer, unbelief in God’s Word is what is the most difficult thing for us to overcome.  It is that unbelief that causes us to give in to the wrong thoughts.  When we walk by faith, and not by sight, we are able to overcome that unbelief, but that can only be achieved by the Word of God working in us and through us.  God’s Word is so powerful; if you are having trouble overcoming any stronghold, any sin, any temptation, use His Word!  Watch your life be saved, be transformed, and be renewed.  Are you tired of failure?  Trust in Jesus because His way is the only way to victory.
