Sons Break Strongholds

What is it? A stronghold of poverty, stronghold of failure? Whatever it is, you say: God, today I want to deal with that thing. Who is ready to deal with something, and say: God, I can see something in my life, it's just there constantly, it's hindering me - I want to overcome it!

Sons overcome strongholds. Sons are fighters. Sons are warriors. Sons learn how to stand up - to be men and women of God.

That's you! That's who you are. Don't let the devil tell you that you're not that. That's who you are. Don't you live out of the old identity, live out of who you are now. You're a son. You're a son of the living God! You are loved. You are blessed. You have an inheritance. Freedom is your inheritance. Reach out by faith and take hold of it, come on.

If you're needing a breakthrough today, say: Jesus, I am coming today to break my agreement with that stronghold.

Rejection, bitterness, unforgiveness, unclean torments. People struggling with fear, disappointment, or intimidation. People struggling with grief… make your way to the altar. Lift your hands to Jesus. People struggling with shame, the words spoken over you, the treatment you got, the looks, the words... Break out of that shame today.

People struggling with addictions, whatever it is, it's a poor substitute for love. It's a withered substitute for love. Whatever addiction you've got, you say: God, I'm using that as a substitute for love. I want to break the power of that thing today. Say: God, I know who I am. I'm a child of God. Freedom is my legacy, and inheritance - I'm taking hold of that today.

Perhaps you've never received Jesus Christ as your Saviour? You've never given your life to Christ? This would be a great day to receive Jesus as your Saviour.

I want you to fix your eyes on Jesus. There will be people come and pray with you. They will pray a prayer of agreement, to break whatever it is you've decided to break your agreement with. They're not coming to save you; they're coming to agree with you. They're agreeing with your decision: I am a son of God. I am a child of the living God. I am a daughter of a King. I'm part of a royal family.

Before we pray, just name (before the Lord in your heart, or with your mouth quietly), what it is you want to break out of. Name it, call it what it is. Stop blaming people. It's my thing. I choose today to rise against it.

Is there some pain you need to bring to the Lord? Is there someone you need to forgive? Is there something you need to repent of? Do you need to break your agreement? Declare your identification with Jesus Christ, and then break your agreement with that stronghold, and command every spirit that's behind it, to go from your life.

We're going to worship God together, and in that atmosphere of worship, freedom comes! In the Bible, sometimes they shouted it, and then freedom came. People are going to come and lay hands on you, and You'll be delivered. Follow me in this prayer...

Father, I come to You in Jesus' name. I declare Jesus Christ is my Saviour and Lord! I'm redeemed from every stronghold, every evil spirit. Freedom is my inheritance. Today in Jesus' name, I break agreement with my stronghold, with the spirits behind it, with the lies behind it. I break my agreement now! I command it to loose from me! I declare now, freedom, freedom, freedom! Come on, let's shout to the Lord!

In Jesus' name, I take authority now. I come against every spirit stronghold - witchcraft, rejection, bitterness, unclean spirits, shame, fear, addictions... I command you now, loose in Jesus' name! We decree breakthrough! The power of God is here to minister. Thank You Lord! Your power is here to set people free! Thank You Jesus.
