Remember that Satan is the Accuser of the Brethren. He stands before God Almighty in the courtroom of Heaven, DAY AND NIGHT, accusing us. Our defense—the ONLY defense we need—is JESUS!! He paid the price so that we can stand righteous BEFORE GOD through Him.
We give Satan and Satan’s 16 Legal Eagles [a/k/a/ 16 Strongholds] LEGAL RIGHT to demonize us (which includes but is not limited to: EVERY addiction (alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, food, gambling, sex, smoking, shopping, prescription drugs, work, etc.), ALL ACTS BORN OUT OF COMPULSION, anxiety, depression, control and abuse (physical, sexual, verbal/emotional, mental/psychological, cultural/identity), despair, suicidal thoughts, inability to concentrate, sickness/disease, mental disorders, sleep disorders, financial trouble, relationship issues (spouse, family, friends), infidelity, fornication, perfectionism, spiritual defeat, God's blessings being blocked, etc. The number one way we do that is through OUR CHOICE TO WILLFULLY AND CONTINUALLY SIN.
Every stronghold enters because of LEGAL RIGHT given via these Entry points:
A) DISOBEDIENCE/SIN
LISTENING TO/STUDYING ERRONEOUS DOCTRINE, SERMONS
C) DABBLING IN THE OCCULT
D) CURSES
E) VICTIMIZATION, TRAGEDIES and TRANSITIONS
Other lesser spirits that may come along with or be called in by these “strongholds.” Lesser spirits (i.e. Spirit of Religion, Jezebel Spirit, Leviathan Spirit, Marine Spirits, etc.) are generally cast out with their corresponding Stronghold. However, if it is known there is a specific infestation of a lesser unclean spirit, it is never cast out BEFORE the STRONGMAN is evicted, as the strongmen are strong enough that if they are not expelled first, they can call back a lesser (weaker) spirit.
16 Demonic Strongholds:
1. Spirit of Antichrist (I John 4:3)
2. Spirit of Bondage (Romans 8:15)
3. Deaf and Dumb Spirit (Mark 9:25)
4. Spirit of Death (1 Corinthians 15:26)
5. Spirit of Divination (a/k/a Occult Spirit/Spirit of Witchcraft) (Acts
16:16)
6. Spirit of Error (1 John 4:6)
7. Spirit of Fear (2 Timothy 1:7)
8. Spirit of Heaviness (a/k/a Spirit of Depression) and Root of Rejection (Isaiah 61:3)
9. Spirit of Infirmity (Luke 13:11)
10. Spirit of Jealousy (Proverbs 6:34)
11. Lying Spirit (2 Chronicles 18:22)
12. Perverse Spirit (Isaiah 19:14)
13. Spirit of Pride (a/k/a Haughtiness) (Proverbs 16:18)
14. Seducing Spirit (a/k/a Seducing and Deceiving Spirits) (1 Timothy 4:1)
15. Spirit of Whoredoms (a/k/a Spirit of Prostitutes) (Hosea 5:4)
16. Generational Spirit (these work through ancestral lines through cursing – whether by the nature of an ancestor’s sin or a curse put on the family through witchcraft, etc.) (Leviticus 19:31)
Each stronghold has specific manifestations. The term “manifestations” means are how each Stronghold (unclean spirit/demon) presents itself. Evil spirits have separate identities. Therefore, the symptoms which present in one’s life define which stronghold(s) is/are active.
Watch out for those Evil Legal Eagles Warriors!!!
