“Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.”
The devil and demonic forces have been stripped of any and all authority by Jesus Christ. Any place the enemy seeks to exercise influence is an affront against the authority of Christ and, in fact, illegal. The spiritual enemies of God and man have no right to exercise authority over humankind.
However, some humans are deceived and participate in the strategies of the enemy. The places where mankind is in agreement with Luciferian and satanic doctrines are marked by their control over mankind and the destruction that follows. A stronghold becomes established.
But a stronghold influenced by spiritual dark forces is not the presence and power of the lying spirit itself, it's mankind's mindset as a result of that influence.
To say it clearly, a stronghold is a mindset.
A stronghold over a city is a collective mindset, not demons controlling a city. Demons may be influencing people who are in control of a city or a nation, but if the people repent, change their minds, and stop believing the deception, the deceiving spirits themselves have nothing left to attach themselves to and must flee.
We are in a time where there is a battle for our minds. Whether that be Christianity itself, politics, racial issues, sexuality, money, whatever it may be.
The devil has no power other than persuasion. If men agree with him, the enemy has influence, if we don't, he doesn't. Our goal as believers is to help people change their minds (repent). It's the kindness and goodness of God that draws people to repentance.
Regarding geopolitics, it seems that Luciferian, blood-drinking, pedophiles have gained influence at a certain level. The revelation of Jeffrey Epstein's pedophile island and all the global influencers that were connected with him is shocking. I'm not suggesting all world leaders and rich people are pedophiles, but it's being proven that there is a faction of them seeking to gain power in the world.
How do we stop them, as well as any other enemy of God? We preach the Gospel. The Gospel is the power of God unto salvation. It's the kindness of God that draws people to repentance. We unleash the Holy Spirit that has been placed in our hearts, and we let him roam free in our lives, which will; bring transformation on a personal level and inspire us to walk in our kingdom influence before others.
Stay strong, children of God. Jesus has already won the victory. The enemy is running around seeking whom he may devour for just a little longer. Stand in your authority as a blood-bought child of God and spread the good news that righteousness with God is by grace through faith and not our works. Let people know that in Christ, they can be delivered from the power of darkness and translated into His kingdom. Stand up for godliness and righteousness and participate in the increase of the kingdom of God!
