Having accepted the fact that we may have strongholds, we really need the discernment that Holy Spirit brings. He is the one who will highlight them for us, and He is the one who will show us what needs to be done to break them down. It is not relevant for me to list the three strongholds that me and the Lord are dealing with, but to help us see the need to have them dealt with otherwise they will continue to sabotage our walk with Jesus. Basically the lies must be replaced with truth. Simple? Yes. Easy? No. Godly principles will work for everyone. Replacing lies with truth will work for everyone, but what truth are we going to use? If people use worldly 'truth', which is in fact still deception no progress will be made in their lives. Only the truth found in God's word will bring the required victory, and freedom. I remember those times I listened to a secular psychologist, looking back I realised he had no truth, but a secular framework to work from that didn't help me one bit.
Needless to say believing the truth about Jesus and being born again by the Spirit of God, is the starting place. But as the Spirit reveals the strongholds, He will also guide you to the truth in scripture as an antidote to the lies.
