TAke it whole heartedly, the bible says I will not know an angry man. This the bible says.
A sister in law took her brother in law in for one night out of the rain, who was violent, very angry, and into all kinds of things.
He was no family as this pastor who was my pastor once, now moved out of state, but he didn't address him as family, he said homeless man.
Yes, we the Lord said, are only family, if we are blood connected through Jesus Christ.
Those who refuse to know him as savior, are not family.
Jesus said, who is my mother, father and brother, he said this
Those who obey the word and do it.
It no longer is a thing of the flesh,
but of the spirit,
this is what happened
Obey the Lord in what he said.

Parallel Commentaries

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

12:46-50 Christ's preaching was plain, easy, and familiar, and suited to his hearers. His mother and brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him, when they should have been standing within, desiring to hear him. Frequently, those who are nearest to the means of knowledge and grace are most negligent. We are apt to neglect that which we think we may have any day, forgetting that to-morrow is not ours. We often meet with hinderances in our work from friends about us, and are taken off by care for the things of this life, from the concerns of our souls. Christ was so intent on his work, that no natural or other duty took him from it. Not that, under pretence of religion, we may be disrespectful to parents, or unkind to relations; but the lesser duty must stand by, while the greater is done. Let us cease from men, and cleave to Christ; let us look upon every Christian, in whatever condition of life, as the brother, sister, or mother of the Lord of glory; let us love, respect, and be kind to them, for his sake, and after his example.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 48. - But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? Who are they who are such in the truest sense? - they for whom I must therefore primarily care?

Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

But he answered and said unto him that told him,.... Of his mother and brethren being without doors, desiring, and waiting to speak to him,

Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? These questions are put, not as if he himself was ignorant who were his mother or his brethren; or as suggesting as if he had none; or as denying that these were in such a relation to him; or as casting any slight upon them; or as intending to teach men disrespect to parents and kindred, according to the flesh; but as displeased with the man, or men, for interrupting him in his work; and to let them know, that the business of his heavenly Father was preferred by him to any his natural relations could have with him; and that he might have an opportunity of pointing out who were his relations in a spiritual sense.

Matthew 12:48 Additional Commentaries

Context

Jesus' Mother and Brothers
…47Someone said to Him, "Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside seeking to speak to You." 48But Jesus answered the one who was telling Him and said, "Who is My mother and who are My brothers?" 49And stretching out His hand toward His disciples, He said, "Behold My mother and My brothers!…

[h=1]Matthew 7:20-24New King James Version (NKJV)[/h][SUP]20 [/SUP]Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
[h=3]I Never Knew You[/h][SUP]21 [/SUP]“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. [SUP]22 [/SUP]Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ [SUP]23 [/SUP]And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
[h=3]Build on the Rock[/h][SUP]24 [/SUP]“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:

[h=1]Luke 15:25-32New King James Version (NKJV)[/h][SUP]25 [/SUP]“Now his older son was in the field. And as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing. [SUP]26 [/SUP]So he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant. [SUP]27 [/SUP]And he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and because he has received him safe and sound, your father has killed the fatted calf.’
[SUP]28 [/SUP]“But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and pleaded with him. [SUP]29 [/SUP]So he answered and said to his father, ‘Lo, these many years I have been serving you; I never transgressed your commandment at any time; and yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might make merry with my friends. [SUP]30 [/SUP]But as soon as this son of yours came, who has devoured your livelihood with harlots, you killed the fatted calf for him.’
[SUP]31 [/SUP]“And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours. [SUP]32 [/SUP]It was right that we should make merry and be glad, for your brother was dead and is alive again, and was lost and is found.’”

The above scriptures shows there are people who do works that they think will please God. In their hearts they become zealous after following the letter of the law and not yielding to the Spirit of the law. The ultimate example of this Saul who killed Christians because he was convinced that the strict adherence to the truth of the law was the only way to please God. He needed to purge the Jewish community of its heretics. He became bound to the limitations of his doctrinal box. Yet, on the Damascus road he came face to face to the One who is Truth. The encounter changed his whole direction of his the He who was the tried to persecute those who followed The Truth became one who would be persecuted for standing for standing the Truth. He once traveled with letters condemn the Truth only to write letters about the Truth as well be a living letter of the truth for all men to read. Once bound by the box doctrinal purity He was set free by Spirit of liberty to preach gospel of Truth. He knew what it meant when he said to live is Christ to die is to gain.
Yet, still there will be those who strive all their lives working in the Father's fields slaving hours on end never come into their Father's house. I see these people strive to prove and stand for the pure gospel. They know the God as a task master and get upset when God works or restores those who lived in for sin for a time. Many times they watch for a speck to get in there brother's to prove that their was wrong instead of watching the like Father from a far off in the hope that the younger son will return home again. Blinded by the plank in their own eyes they come to be guided by what I call plank mentality. The plank is the very belief system they value above all else. They will defend their how great and beautiful their plank is quick to point out any speck in their brother's eyes. Bitterness comes in and question comes in asking why don't I get party and enjoy the fated. However, our Heavenly Father is their to say get that plank out of your eyes because what I have has always been yours, but you never took the time to come in the My house to know it.
Our Father calls us to boldly come to the throne room of grace. Be still and know that I am God. We don't need to clamor about what our brother is doing wrong or what we think is wrong is wrong what he believes. If we do need to reprove our bother, we need to do in love. We are saved by knowing the One Who is Truth. The Father and Son want to make their home in us through the work of the Holy Spirit.
Christ said I am the vine you are the branches.
[h=1]John 15:5-8New King James Version (NKJV)[/h][SUP]5 [/SUP]“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. [SUP]6 [/SUP]If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. [SUP]7 [/SUP]If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will[SUP][a][/SUP] ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. [SUP]8 [/SUP]By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.If you abide in me I will abide
People are drawn into the Kingdom when people can eat from the fruit the Spirit produces in our life. Our plank mentality of what is true doctrine draws very few converts and produces no real fruit. All it does is sow the seeds of bitterness and discord. The world needs the Tree of Life not a dead lifeless judgemental religious plank. So brother's and Sister let's feed each other with the fruit of the Spirit and not beat each other over the head with religious planks.

I found that in spite of the horrible situation this was a spot on message calling enter in knowing the loving grace of our Daddy through Christ. All I could mediate on was the above post, but also John 13-17 and all of the book 1 John came to my mind. If you Me, you have seen the Father. I am the Vine you are the branches. I give my Holy Spirit to lead you in all truth and go along side you. I AM the Way, the Truth and the Life no can come to the Father but by Me. The works I do you shall do and even greater works. I will never leave you or forsake you for I give you my peace. No longer do I call you servants but friends. I and My Father will make our abode in you. In my Father's house there are many mansions I go to prepare a place for you. I pray that they may be one. A new commandment I give you love one another. God is light and in Him there is no darkness. Perfect love casts out all fear. The anointing that abides in you teaches you all things. Just a few things that are said in the writings of John.

This person was his brother, who went along with his family once to church. He left and went into things. The devil could play havoc on the mind. KNowing that this family were bringing other's to the Lord, satan, most likely talked to him, caused jealousy, look what your brother has, and you don't even have a place to sleep, homeless, because of his violence, and anger. Things were done to reach out to him, the pastor even cried to him as he knew him from a child, but it takes your own personal decision, not forced, it takes loving God, more than loving things. The bible says that jealousy is cruel as the grave. This could of played in his spirit, separated from the love of God, on his own choice, maybe cursing the Lord, and he was violent towards his parents, physically, which also did not please the Lord as were to honor our parents. I don't know. But it's a choice. WE need discernment, which is to know where this was coming from. There were many signs, a restraining order against him from his own family, you need to check people's fruits, although we don't see what they think, but we could see how they live, and are they sincere, and repentive. Thanks for sharing, your thoughts. God bless you.

Things that were defiled long ago, and in some countries they kill you for being of the same gender,
it is nothing today, the laws are made now for that, and you need to be carful because people think it's okay to get on to you, defile you, or invite you to join them, some go with the flow, when other's avoid them, this might be a great avenue, of relationship, it's a chain, of slavery to sin,
It pollutes the mind, makes it dark, ugly, and some have taken their own lives, some others
it is a violence against the creation and order of what God intended for a man to be, and a women to be, it is violent, it breaks the image of self, of not knowing who you are, and destroys your life.
IT damages, violates, steals, destroys, corrupts, your thinking, it is becoming more prevalent, and acceptable because the days, are nearing to Christ's return.
Many have got caught up in this, as be come as we or lose your job, then walk, God has other doors, for you to walk through.
It is destructive lust from satan.
It will destroy in the end, because the only thing that doesn't end is the love of God.
Every unrighteous thing will end, and it ends not in life but in spiritual death.

Things should be reported to the authorities, it would stop them from continuing being in a sick state of mind.
There was a report of not to take things into your own hands, people who say and do threatening things, are extremely dangerous, and are a threat to others. You don't know what they've gone through, and their intentions could end in someone's life being taken. IT said, always do not let it go by, report them. The authorities know what to do, they if needed will commit this person, to a psychiatric hospital, for a month, to evaluate them. This goes for any type of disorderly person, making threats, or sexual contacts. REport them, you will help other's.

Heya, this is nothing new, to put on the whole armor of God. Recently being preoccupied with things, it must be priority to put on this holy attire. Fiery darts from hell's domaine will come like taunts , and aggression from people, and there nothing but temptations to get into the darkness of evil. PUtting on the armor is many pieces, like a policeman wears, different gear and tactical things. Spiritually getting dressed, is the shield of faith, when the wicked come up to your face, and try to blow the fire from hell with words, that shield will quench those fiery darts, as the shield is your faith in the word of the Lord, and the word of the lord is living waters, that quench the fires from the kingdom of hell and it's forces. The helmet of salvation, is on your mind, that we have the mind of christ and are to act in accordance of it, not of the mind being carnal in the flesh, and yeilding unto the temptations of it. There are the other equipment pieces, the shoes, which are that we walk in peace, etc. This is nothing new, but we forget that we are living a new life in the spirit, and we need to walk in the spirit, and not in the flesh, that controls us. "surely the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak," bible verse, meaning; we want to do what's right, but the human temptaitons over take us, at times, this is a weakness, and an area that needs to be developed, as a stronge muscle, a muscle of faith. This is no joke, being created a new in Christ, meaning we are changed in the inner man, means were living on another level. Supernatural divine one, connected, and consecrated for service. and not for yourself, and the desires of the flesh.

The Sanctity of LIfe

I don't have the answers why prisons have become, or are becoming home to others.
It is not hard not to realise this reality, just turn the news on.
The bible says, that before the Lord returns, the sins will become as birth pangs, and if you know what they are, they increase in intensity, and increase in frequency, until that child is pushed out, by the body that carried it, and by the power of a miraculous miracle of life called birth.

Jeremiah 1:5
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.

Psalm 139:13
For you created my innermost parts knitting me together in my mother's womb.

1 John 3:15
Those who hate are called murderers.

John 8:44
You belong to your father called the devil, he was a murderer from the beginning, and you speak his native tongue, and lies.

*************

That was the bible's word, and here are my thoughts;

Why was Jesus so loved, that Mary's heart would break and with her tears she would wipe his feet.
The women caught in adultery those who held rocks in hand to hand,
and Jesus said, where are those accussers because they all had sinned at a time, or were, he told her go, and sin no more.
It takes great strength to be gentle.
The Lord was the toughest thug, against evil, and talked right into the face of the king, to tell him, who he thought he was," who do you say that I am."
The point of this is this;
Every single person that has lived, or is living, was created, and in one point in life, there was a connection, a creative force of love from that person, maybe a once in a life thing, a gift to someone, a a gift of freedom, you forgave someone, and let them walk free.
Every single one of us, is valued this much, that the above verses, say just that,
Hatred is as a murder because it is killing the creative force, from that person, it is destroying their reputation, something that being alive is giving us our connection, to be able to give.
Jesus dosn't like dirty, games of hate, he says, then you know who you are from, not from God, for he is called love, but from the devil, who was a hater, a murderer at heart from the beginning.
God values each living soul. He values those in jails, in prisons, because, as long as there is breath, there is life, there is hope.
We were created in his image, but the freedom of choice is ours, to choose,
We were made to connect with him, and to distribute hope to others, not despair, not despondency, or to discourage someone, to bully someone, this is what he is talking about, you are a hater, a murderer, of someone.
He know's us, he wants to talk, and hear from you.

Perfect love casts out fear.
Why are some people afraid of getting married.
It is easy to lust, easy to forget, but hard to forgive, and strength to
Love.
God said a wife is a gift from him.
Beware to those who try to take what belongs to him.

Deep calls unto deep. What does this mean. He wants to talk to you, about deep things in your heart. He knows the depth, of the soul, we don't.
It's not a lie, the verdict of the Jury is correct, and stands true, we are vindicated from condemnations, from the past, within our spirit. Such as,,,
I can't believe that there is so much nudity, things people wear, on beaches, or things they don't wear.
The whore house has been brought into some believers home, by them inviting it through the computers. I say believers, is because maybe as the threads here, that some had been there, and are now vindicated, and clean, from the grip of it's power of lust, that derives it's self from unrightousness, and it's unrightouss fruits.
Those who have been set free, what about those, who are captives.
Deep calls to deep, the opposite, of as "the devil calls to death."
You know what it does, it is an evil, it lures your heart to death, it puts chains on your spirit, then on your body, in prisons.
Rapes, child molestations, I don't want to go there in my thoughts, it is evil.
It is getting worse. The bible says, 'Evil men shall wax, worse, and worse."
They have chosen this. No one forces someone, willfully into evil, you open your own heart into it, invite it, and it's your bondage.
Lust is a terrible thing, there is not a word to describe it, just as Love, you can't describe it, and the power of evil, is the opposite of Love, especially the Love of God's Love.
It is a hook to kill, your spirit, a temptation, for a sensation for a moment. When Love can be bought freely, for a life time.
It is a companion of the mind, lust, that talks to you, to do evil things, it becomes your master, and you become the slave.
It will not bring peace, anything that comes from the devil, is destruction, of your life.
Father, break the spirit of Lust in those who are reaching out to you.
In Jesus name.
Amen.

Today posting pictures of horses, or any other God created creature, could be an inspiration to us. There is much cruelty to children, because people don't seem to know what they are, and at times the most unstable living creature on earth.
The abuse children, suffer from other grown ups, and not even kids their own age, as parents fighting over what kids were fighting, and knocking the parent out, or verbally abusing the parent, this leaves a scar on the child. Even an adult some do not have the compassion, or patience , or absence of Love to even raise a child in a healthy state of mind. All or most animals can nurture another animal, at times, but a human can not love another human, to show respect and love to them in front of their children. YOu read things, people coming up and slapping their kids, or yelling at them, many stories of abuse. Those who do not love a child, have no love at all. Jesus said, unless you become as little children you in no wise will enter the kingdom of God. Were to kneel in prayer to the father, and we become on their level, physically anyway, and it just might be a good reminder, that Jesus took the children, when they were running around when he was teaching, and said, let them be, and let them come to me, and he sat them on his knees, and said, such is the kingdom of God. Any body who does not want to love their own children or people, is more confused than an animal, at least they know what they are,, Where there is no love, there is emptiness.
Children are a gift from the Lord it says, and those who shun them, and families, are in need of a heart of flesh, instead of the heart of stone they have now. Those who can not love your children, will never love you. A pet will love, but the mind of the human in arrogance is worthless, but a pet depends on you in humbleness. Love liberates and sets free.

To the wise;

Whoever that may be but
was listening to some thing about prophet and this is what I thought about it.

Everyone wants to be called something like a phrophet to think they know something.
When God Adoni, Yahweh, all the same names you know, took Moses, and used him as a vessel, man of flesh, and the other's
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,
and called Jacob a worm, so what makes us people think we know something above what the Lord knows.
Even though Moses, was used in a great way, he didn't even enter into that promised land.
We have no right to say were a prophet, that is and was something that was, and even then it was nothing to God, for God will give his glory to no man.
That is a bible scripture.

This is why Moses was taken or left in the desert mountain, so the people wouldn't worship him or made him an idol. They put him above the Lord once in the desert when he took to long to come down, so they made a golden calf, and it angered the Lord God, and he destroyed many of them.

In battle as this video, soldiers don't come out to play games, it is to win the battle.
Fiery darts against the believer, or not believer are intense, and intended as a legal weapon
as destructive to destroy. Those who are trained, in the scriptures, would be as wearing a bullet
proof vest, and all the tactical gear, for protection.
This is worn in physical combat, however in spiritual warfare, we need to be covered with the shield of
Faith, against these destructive fiery darts, which are intended just as lethal as some of the fiery missals
in this video, it is meant to destroy.
Many have lost hope because of not being able to overcome battles in their mind.
In truth, everyone gets attacked, and many are lost.
I found this article on line, and am going to post it, it explains the difference's of spiritual deliverance/ spiritual warfare, but they are the same because the source come's from the same evil army.
Demonic attacks, are like a war, they keep sending their words, over, and over, till they weaken the person, either in their faith, or self esteem, to gain control.
Paving a road into the mind, a trench, trap, and terror.
Hatred of believers is on the rise, and is only going to deepen, as the Immigrants come to the U.S.
However, through media, it is saying out of every 10 there will be 2 Jihadist's turning against the soil, and the people of the United States.
Instead of being thankful, for a second chance in life, coming from where they were, hatred has seeped into the spirit, instead of Thanksgiving.
Where there is an emptiness, void of love, there will be quests coming in, and many welcome their visits from the evil place of demonic strongholds, quests as in saying, you have the right to not have them infiltrate your mind, and captivate you, with their strongholds, the article will explain how to be delivered, yet some welcome the evil cohorts of the darkness of hatred, hell, and death, for their is no life without Jesus Christ. He is the Way
the Truth, and the Light of this world, and he is Life Everlasting.
These demonic attacks come when you least expect them, and when your at rest.
You need to recognize them.
Being delivered from strongholds, does not necessarily mean being possessed by unclean spirits.
They try to bind, Try to enter sometimes with a whole demonic army, fear, turmoil, and doubt, as to
where is your God now dear little one.
Those who do these things are the ones who are possessed by demonic strongholds, for they use them
to attack. A soldier has to be willing to go to war and fight.
In either circumstance's, to fight for the right, and to take your stand in Jesus, and fight against these strongholds,
Or those who fight against those who believe in Life, Love, and Liberty, freedom, choose from their own will to do so.
**********
Father Abba Our God, and our Savior Jesus Christ.
Though the plaque of hatred, destruction, and violence spreads throughout the earth, like a darkness,
WE refuse to bow down to it's evil grip of hate, and terror.
We worship only thee oh Lord, and in thee we rest our case, that you are able, to deliver us from all
that would oppress our spirit, and mind, of evil.
We Thank thee FAther for Jesus, and take authority over these unclean spirits LUke 10:19
For thy word will not come back empty, in our heart for we know we we believe in and are persuaded that he is able to deliver us until that day. bible verse.
We turn unto thee LOrd, and thy Shield and Buckler, becomes a Mighty Fortress for us,
and a Peace that is unbreakable, unshakable, and undefined
Within your Forces of Love.

[h=2]Spiritual Warfare[/h]

Home > Spiritual Warfare[HR][/HR]The difference between deliverance and spiritual warfare is that deliverance is dealing with demonic bondages, and getting a person set free, whereas spiritual warfare is resisting, overcoming and defeating the enemy's lies (in the form of deception, temptations and accusations) that he sends our way. Deliverance involves the breaking up of legal grounds, the tearing down of strongholds (offensive spiritual warfare), and the casting out of demons. Spiritual warfare on the other hand, is dealing with three key things the enemy sends at us: temptations, deception and accusations.
This teaching will give you an idea of how spiritual warfare works. There are other teachings on this site that will go into more detail on certain areas of spiritual warfare.
[h=4]Offensive vs. defensive warfare[/h]Spiritual warfare comes in two ways: offensive and defensive. Offensive warfare is tearing down the strongholds the enemy has formed in your mind through deception and accusations, and defensive warfare is guarding yourself against the tactics or schemes of the devil.
[h=4]The enemy's three primary weapons[/h]There are three things that we can expect from the devil. The Bible tells us that we struggle not against flesh and blood, but against demonic forces. Ephesians 6:12, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." The three primary things we struggle against include:
#1 Deception: To deceive somebody means to make another person believe a lie or something that is not true. When the enemy sends deception your way, it is an attempt to deceive you into believing something that is not true, so you will fall into error. Strongholds are built through deception. A stronghold is formed when deception takes hold in a person's mind. A stronghold is an incorrect thinking pattern that stems from believing something that is not true.
From the very beginning, Satan deceived Eve into believing that God's Word was not true. In Genesis 3:4, the devil told her that she will not surely die as God said she would in Genesis 2:17.
#2 Temptation: Temptation often follows deception. First the enemy tells us, "You won't surely die!", then he makes the fruit on the forbidden tree look good to us. Since Eve accepted Satan's deception (his lie), now the tree that she was not supposed to touch looked good to her. She was tempted (enticed) to sin, because she allowed herself to first be deceived. Temptation is when we are enticed or encouraged to sin in one way or another.
In Matthew 4, Jesus was led out in the desert to be tempted by the devil. The devil tried to convince Jesus that it would be harmless to jump off a building. Often people will be so drawn to sex with their boyfriend/girlfriend when the enemy tries to convince them that it is all harmless and fun, when it's not harmless at all, but an open door to the devil. Jesus saw through Satan's deception, and resisted the temptation by speaking God's Word. King David said in Psalms 119:11, "Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee."
When the enemy tempts you, he's showing you the worm... but behind that worm is a hook. The Word of God helps you see the hook behind the worm.
#3 Accusations: The devil is known as the accuser of the brethren (Rev 12:10). He is known to take a believer who has done an embarrassing or gross sin in their past, and continue to rub it in their faces and beat them down with guilt and condemnation over their past.
[h=4]Dealing with deception[/h]We have two weapons to deal with deceptions: the belt of truth (Ephesians 6:14) and the sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:17) which is the Word of God. Both are truth, which is found in God's Word, so why are they given two different names (a sword and a belt)? Because one is meant to be defensive (the belt), while the other is meant to be offensive (the sword). This means that the Word of God is both an offensive and a defensive weapon. A belt is something you wear to guard against an attack, while a sword is used to slaughter the enemy.
You use the belt of truth (God's Word) to guard against the enemy's deception (lies) he sends your way, while you use the sword of the Spirit (also God's Word) to tear down existing strongholds (deception that took hold) in your mind.
In Romans 12:2, we are told to "be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind." How do we renew our minds? By getting in God's Word! In Ephesians 5:26, this process is referred to as washing of water by the Word: "That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word."
[h=4]Dealing with temptation[/h]In James 4:7, we are told to resist the devil and he will flee from us. But it's not that simple; in the same verse, we are also told to draw near to God. Dealing with temptation is a two fold process of resisting the devil and drawing near to God. The closer you get to God and the more you become aware of His love, the less power temptation will have over you.
James 4:7, "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." (The context of those verse is clearly speaking of temptation).
In the teaching Forgiven Sinner or Saint?, it shows you how the power of sin (temptation) can be broken in our lives.
[h=4]Dealing with accusations[/h]The fiery darts of the enemy in Ephesians 6:16 are accusations sent our way. For example, when the devil tries to accuse us of our past sins, we are to have faith in the work of the cross and know that they are forgiven and not to look back. Faith is what we use to put out the fiery darts of the enemy (Ephesians 6:16). We are not to meditate about our pasts, because they have passed away (2 Corinthians 5:17), and our sins have been forgotten (Hebrews 10:17).
Ephesians 6:14, "Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth (knowing your sins have been forgiven through your faith in the work on the cross), and having on the breastplate of righteousness (not our righteousness obviously, but the righteousness of God through Christ Jesus);"
Our righteousness is as filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6), but because of the work of the cross, we can receive the righteousness of God through Christ Jesus (Romans 3:22, Galatians 3:6). Therefore when the enemy tries to remind you of your past, tell him it's been washed away (2 Corinthians 5:17), your sins have been forgotten (Hebrews 10:17) and you have the righteousness of God (Romans 3:22)!
There are other teachings on this site that will specifically help you wage war against the enemy's accusations. They include Condemnation versus Conviction, The Power of Your Thoughts and Dealing with Guilt.
[h=4]The tearing down of strongholds[/h]A stronghold is deception that's taken hold in a person's mind. It's an incorrect thinking pattern based on a believed lie. People can get incorrect perceptions of God by listening to Satan as he tells them how God doesn't love them, etc. People can feel like dirty old sinners when they believe Satan's accusations as he continually reminds them of their past (which has been washed away!). Strongholds are based on lies from the devil. They can come in the form of deception or accusations. Accusations always lead to guilt and the feeling of unworthiness, which weighs you down and tears you apart spiritually.
Since strongholds are built upon lies that we have been fed, the way we tear down strongholds is by feeding on the truth (in God's Word), which is the opposite of what the enemy has been feeding us. If the enemy has been feeding us a lie, we need to stop eating the lie and start feeding ourselves the truth. The weapon we use to tear down strongholds is found in Ephesians 6:17, "...the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." A sword is an offensive weapon and is meant to tear down and kill the enemy's troops. Strongholds are the devil's assets in war, and he uses them against us. Take up the sword of the Spirit (God's Word) today, and start slaughtering the enemy's assets that he's been using against you!
The teaching on Strongholds will give you a much better understanding of how strongholds work and how to tear them down.

Evil is destructive. Like a hammer, it uses all it's force to break and to cause
injury, and to kill.
