Never compromise with strongholds

If a stronghold hinders your path, walking around it or walking over it is glory to the stronghold. But if you cross the stronghold after sabotaging it, leaving no evidence of the obstacle there, then it is glory to the Lord!

The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4) . The weapons and divine power given to us are not for going around or going over the strongholds.

God is always compassionate to us, but to Satan, He is fierce and violent. And there is righteousness in that violence too. The wall of Jericho was ruined because of this violence. If Red Sea comes in the path of His Children, He could have sent ships to circumnavigate them. But, He will divide the deep sea into two, to pave way for them.

He will break down the bronze gates, He can cut through bars of iron. However, annihilating it is the pride of His arm. He is the Lord who can channel any King’s heart as a stream of water, He could have made Pharaoh to redeem the Israelites by showering mercy on his heart. But, the treatment that God gave Pharaoh is justful. We have to be like our Father, too!

Never compromise with any stronghold, with the divine power smite them and pass through them!
