Acts 10:14 But Peter said, “Not so, Lord! For I have never eaten anything common or unclean.” 15 And a voice spoke to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed you must not call common.”

From yesterday we started to look at the subject of stronghold, it is clear that Satan take advantage of this things to afflict people. In fact, he hides behind them to stall people spiritual and physical progress. You must constantly align your reasoning and beliefs with God's word. 

I have seen people argue and fight to remain in bondage. The same thing you will find with the children of Israel, though they left Egypt and even Pharaoh was dead, they could not enter the promise land because of Egypt and Pharaoh in their mind. Their understanding and perception of their identity was already damaged. 

Stronghold sometimes veiled people's mind from seeing possibilities, they give reasons for failure. Who has said something to you while growing up? Who tampered with your body, that even though you are not seeing the person again, but he's in your head troubling you. You must speak out boldly God's word over your mind, casting down stronghold and arguments. Outside of God's word, you don't have a defence. 

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
