TAKING POSSESSING OF YOUR STRONGHOLD

Dr. Clifton Clarke 

 

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOUR PROPHETIC PURPOSE IS TRAPPED IN A STRONGHOLD

The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

2 Now it shall come to pass in the latter days
That the mountain of the Lord’s house
Shall be established on the top of the mountains,
And shall be exalted above the hills;
And all nations shall flow to it.

3 Many people shall come and say,
“Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
To the house of the God of Jacob;
He will teach us His ways,
And we shall walk in His paths.”
For out of Zion shall go forth the law,

 

1.   TAKE THE FIGHT TO THE ENEMY 

2 Sam 5: And the King and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites the inhabitants of the Land. 

 

2.   STOP LISTENING TO YOUR STRONGHOLD

2 Sam 5: 6 Who Spoke to David saying, you shall not come in here but the blind and the lame, will repel you

 

3.   CHANGE YOUR APPROACH

4.   TURN YOUR STRONGHOLD INTO STRENGTH

6.   OVERCOMING YOUR STRONGHOLD WILL ESTABLISH YOU AND EXALT GOD
