Do you see your bondage as part of your identity? Have you adjusted your life to accommodate pain? Has the devil deceived you into thinking that you are still bound even after experiencing God's freedom? If so, then allow God's Word to bring enlightenment as you join Brother Chris in this sermon: Defeating Mental Strongholds.

00:00It is easier to receive freedom than it is to accept freedom because the mind often resists what the heart
00:22receives.
00:30Right now, people of God, let us pray as we open our hearts to receive the Word of God.
00:45Let us pray together.
00:46Lord Jesus Christ, thank you for the light in your living Word.
01:01That has the power to illuminate our paths and illuminate our fears.
01:17Let your Word enter deep into the soil of our hearts.
01:31That it may produce fruits of righteousness in our lives.
01:44In Jesus' mighty name we pray.
01:51And the people of God said, Amen.
01:56Amen.
01:57Amen.
01:58Amen.
01:58Amen.
02:00Grace and peace to you all, children of God.
02:07Here in the ministry at God's Heart CV, so many people reach out to us asking for prayer
02:19because they realize spiritually they are bound or burdened.
02:34Perhaps, as you are connecting right now, you are in such a situation.
02:39You are bound in nightmares.
02:43They are bound in addiction, burdened by affliction, burdened by generational curses.
02:57And they reach out and say, I need prayer for deliverance, for freedom, for restoration.
03:09Whatever your situation, whatever your situation, whatever your situation, whatever your burden, whatever the nature of that bondage, people of
03:18God.
03:19Freedom is freely available for you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
03:28I will say that again, whatever your burden, whatever the nature of your bondage, spiritual, emotional, physical, financial, marital.
03:45So, know this, freedom is freely available in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
04:17You may look at your situation and think you are facing a mountain that is insurmountable.
04:26A problem that seems unsolvable.
04:31But remember what the scripture says, Matthew 19, 26.
04:36What is impossible with man is very possible with God.
04:44Years of bondage, pain, addiction, oppression
04:52can be broken in just one moment.
05:00With man, this is impossible.
05:04With God, all things are possible.
05:11But I have observed something, people of God,
05:18that I want to share with you today.
05:20It is easier to receive freedom than it is to accept freedom.
05:36Just pause.
05:39Think about that for a moment.
05:41It is easier to receive freedom than it is to accept freedom.
05:58Because the mind often resists what the heart receives.
06:07It is one thing to be set free.
06:13It is another thing to agree that indeed you are free.
06:20It's possible for one to walk in true freedom.
06:29Yet not walk in freedom.
06:37What is the cause of this?
06:40This is because many people today
06:45are not just dealing with spiritual strongholds.
06:52They are dealing with mental strongholds that have been built up
07:03and need to be broken down.
07:10I will repeat that statement, people of God.
07:15Many people today
07:18they are dealing with mental strongholds.
07:24What do I mean?
07:26A pattern of thinking
07:31founded in falsehood.
07:35A mindset that is set in deception.
07:44Mental strongholds.
07:46Many people today are dealing with mental strongholds
07:52that have built up
07:54over years of agreements
08:00with the devil's definition of your life
08:05and the devil's description of your case.
08:09And these mental strongholds
08:12that have been built up
08:14need to be broken down.
08:19This is why many people
08:21do not truly accept
08:26that they are free.
08:29And this will lead me to the title
08:31of the message today.
08:37Defeating mental strongholds.
08:43A spiritual strongholds can be dismantled
08:51in a moment
08:52by God's power.
09:00In moments
09:02an encounter
09:05with Jesus Christ
09:07can dismantle
09:09a spiritual stronghold.
09:12What has been holding you in bondage
09:15for years
09:18can be cast out
09:20in seconds.
09:22That is God's power.
09:24To God's power
09:26nothing is impossible.
09:29Spiritual strongholds
09:31strongholds
09:31can be dismantled
09:34in a moment.
09:37Mental strongholds
09:40must be dealt with
09:44through discipline,
09:49devotion,
09:52consistency
09:53in renewing the mind
09:56with God's word.
10:01This is what we're going to talk about today
10:03people of God.
10:05To defeat
10:06mental strongholds
10:08that
10:09pattern of
10:10thinking
10:11founded
10:12in
10:13and
10:14fueled
10:15by
10:15falsehood
10:17the mindsets
10:19that is set
10:21in
10:21deception
10:22to defeat
10:24those mental
10:25strongholds
10:26it must be dealt
10:28with
10:29through
10:31discipline.
10:34Because you will not
10:35find the time
10:37to read God's word.
10:39You will not
10:40find the time
10:41to renew
10:42your mind.
10:44You will not
10:45find the time
10:48to build
10:50your spiritual life.
10:51you must
10:53create it.
10:55That takes
10:56discipline.
10:57Devotion!
11:00Because the word
11:01of God
11:01not only
11:02deserves
11:03it demands
11:04our
11:05undivided
11:06attention.
11:10Devotion!
11:12To renewing
11:14your mind
11:15with God's word.
11:18Consistency!
11:18Because the
11:20reality
11:21of a
11:22relationship
11:23is
11:24revealed
11:25by the
11:26consistency
11:27of
11:28commitments.
11:30Consistency!
11:31Not just
