God Is My Stronghold
God loves you and me. He has set His favor upon us. He has given us His stability so that we can stand firm and not be easily shaken. He wants to become our stronghold, our place of strength. When He is our Stronghold, we cannot be defeated or destroyed. His anointing saturates us, keeps us steadfast, stable, immovable.
A stronghold is a house constructed of thoughts, which develop into a pattern of thinking, a mindset, which produces a way of speaking. It has been reported by the scientific community that thoughts which are repetitive produce grooves in the physical brain. I am not a scientist; therefore, whether this is true or not, I do not know. I do know that the scripture tells us that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. Our spirit, our mind, and our mouth are connected. And the mind is housed in the physical organ called the brain.
What stronghold are you building? Are you focusing on your own weaknesses and causing them to become strongholds in your life, or are you focusing on the Word of God and causing God and His Word to become your stronghold?
Psalm 28:8 Amplified Bible
The Lord is their [unyielding] Strength, and He is the Stronghold of salvation to [me] His anointed.
We know that salvation is an all-inclusive word, encompassing us with all that God is. Whatever we need is contained in that word—righteousness, healing, health, belief, prosperity, victory, success, care freeness, deliverance, total freedom. Jesus’ death on the cross set us free. He was raised from the dead so that we might be free. He is seated at the right hand of the Father so that we might be free. Let’s celebrate our freedom today and every day, whether we feel like it or not and whether it looks like it in the natural, earthly realm or not.
When we build God’s stronghold, we build upon His anointing, which is His presence, Who is the Holy Spirit, Who is Love, life and Light for us and the world around us.
