Realizing you have a problem. God doesn’t expect us to be perfect he knows we will fall down some times. What he expects is once we realize we have a problem repent and ask God for help to help us conquer the problem.

The next step is conquering deception, which is the problem, with the truth, the word of God. Where ever your problem is in your life look up scriptures dealing with that problem so God can strengthen you in that area.
   Romans 12:2
     “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-his good pleasing and perfect will.”

God has a will for each and ever one of us we have a purpose but its are job to get right with the Lord. Which is asking him in to are heart and truly meaning it because if you don’t truly mean it God knows that to. Asking him to for give are sins and make us whole. Then God will be able to show us his will and his plans in are lives.

Jeremiah 29:11
  “For I know the plans I have for you, ”declares the Lord, ”plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. ‘
The next step is draw near to God and he will draw near to you. Which means spending time with him weather its listening to worship music and singing to him, praying to him and taking time to listen to him or reading the bible or other christen books.

Matthew 11:28
  “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Think about what you’re thinking about.
One way to conger strongholds is to think about what you’re thinking about.

Philippians 4:8
 “Finally, brothers whatever is true, what ever is noble, whatever is Right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, and whatever is admirable If anything praise worthy think about such things.

So if what your thinking about  doesn’t line up with the word get rid of it it’s trash. If you ever feel like your being attacked with thoughts that you seem like you can’t get rid of. You need to speak scripture over it. What ever the problem may be because the word has power over the Devil and if you speak you can’t think about what the thought is, when you get a thought speak scripture and it will interrupt your previous thought.
We need to watch what we here.
If you don’t want strongholds in your thinking pay attention to what you listen to if it’s not Philippians 4:8 then you probably shouldn’t be listening to it. If were listening to sad songs all day were gone to be sad and negative. If were listening to bad language all day were gone to have bad language.

So we need to be careful what we listen to.

We need to be careful what we see.
Where suppose to be the temple of God.

 1corinthians 3:16-17
   “Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you. If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is sacred, and you are that temple”.

So when we watch things that are not pleasing to God were corrupting his temple.
These are all strongholds, if you watch bad things you can get addicted to it like porn or adultery that’s suppose to be good humor in the worlds eyes but in God’s eyes its sin
Which separates us from God.

And if your like a lot of people we have already seen bad we can’t change it and heard bad .So we need to start filling are self’s with God word to clean out all the corrupt nastiness so God can make us clean. He will if we want him two.
Lastly be careful what you believe. You can’t be driven bye your emotions all the time are emotions are not reliable. Are emotions will bring us up and down like a roller coaster.

Life by the spirit
Galatians 5: 16-26
  “So I say, live by the spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. The acts of the sinful nature are obvious :sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and withcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy ,fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Againt such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
