Pulling down strongholds — or reinforcing them?

Tim & Terri Palmquist's blog Posted on January 13, 2014 by Tim PalmquistJanuary 7, 2016

Tim sent this message to local pastors on January 6, 2014:

Our Lord has charged us with the divine power to demolish strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4).  But all too often it seems that Christians in our community are reinforcing demonic strongholds instead of seeking to tear them down.

“A stronghold is a mind set impregnated with hopelessness that causes the believer to accept as unchangeable something that he/she knows is contrary to the will of God.”

(Ed Silvoso, quoted in Possessing the Gates of the Enemy: A Training Manual for Militant Intercession by Cindy Jacobs).

Do we believe that it is God’s will for babies to be aborted in Bakersfield?  Do we believe that God wills that those who attend our churches participate in abortions?   Do we believe that God wants His people to speak up for the innocent children who cannot speak for themselves?  Do we believe that we honor God by enabling members of our congregation to “sin that grace may abound”?  Do we accept as “unchangeable” the continuation of the carnage of abortion (nationally, locally, and in our own congregations)?

Babies died today…
In a place that should have been safe!
Thousands marched in protest…
But, babies still died today,
In a place that should have been safe!
Laws were passed and politicians elected…
But, babies still died today,
In a place that should have been safe!
Fundraisers attended and fair booths manned…
But, babies still died today,
In a place that should have been safe!
Prolife centers were open offering help…
But, babies still died today,
In a place that should have been safe!
Some clinics closed down and some doctors quit…
But, babies still died today,
In a place that should have been safe!
A few stood in the gap at the door of death…
But, babies still died today,
In a place that should have been safe!
For over 40 years, we have tried this and that…
But, babies continue to die everyday,
In a place that should be safe!
