Cafe Chat--Overcoming Struggles & Strongholds
"So, how can we be set free in Christ from our strongholds and struggles? (If you can please make sure to use scripture to support your answers)."Honestly, when I read the question, an extremely simple answer popped into my head. Philippians 4:13 (NKJV) promises us that:
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."When I put my faith in Christ, repented from sin and allowed Him to cleanse me of all of my unrighteousness, I put all of my hope and trust in Him, and only Him. By putting that trust in Him, I also put all of my faith in the fact that the Bible is God's infallible word. I believe EVERY word of the Bible. While the world thinks that the Bible is "a nice story" about "a nice man who was a teacher" and that it has some "great principles to live by", I happen to think much differently. I believe that the aforementioned "world view" is a bunch of flowery garbage. I believe that if the Bible tells me that "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me", then I can. And, if I can do that, then that means that I can overcome (and bring under control) ANY struggles or strongholds that come my way. This is not to say (by any stretch) that I can do this alone, but ONLY through the power of Christ "who strengthens me.

Amen, so lovely.
You said it! Amen. I just visited a post that celebrates a song advising us to consider prayer. Turn away from Oprah! Turn to Jesus. Now...to convince the rest of the viewing audience....
