Quick question for you…

Do you know what a “spiritual fortress” is?

It’s anything that exalts itself in our minds, “pretending” to be bigger or more powerful than our God. It steals much of our focus and causes us to feel overpowered, controlled, and mastered.

It can be an addiction, anger, disempowering thoughts, or anything that steals, kills, or destroys the abundant, fruitful life of a believer can be considered a spiritual fortress of the enemy.

Imagine a “spiritual fortress” as a tent in a large campsite and that campsite is your mind.

The enemy’s strategic plan is to set-up as many tents (fortress) in your mind until he completely takes over your mind and snatch you from the hands of God.

That’s why it is EXTREMELY important to…

First is to take action now. Be a proactive Christian and do not allow the enemy to gain control of your mind. You have to fight back.

Second, break any existing fortress in your mind that’s causing all the troubles and heartaches in your life. Don’t worry, later I’ll show you how to do that.

Lastly is to prevent him from setting up a new one by continuously protecting your mind.

The ONLY Way to Break Spiritual Fortress

Thank God as the Bible has a clear and definitive answer on how to protect your mind and it’s in Ephesians 6:10-18.

Paul listed the whole armor of God. But only one piece of the armor is actually a weapon.

The figurative belt, shield, breastplate, shoes, and helmet are all defensive pieces of armor intended to keep us from being injured by the weapons of the evil one.

The sword of the Spirit, clearly identified as the Word of God, is the only offensive weapon listed in the whole armor of God.

That’s why memorizing scriptures and meditating it is an extremely powerful weapon to fight back and hit the devil in the face.

It’s a direct assault to the enemy and it’s so powerful that all he can do is run.

This is also the reason why all great men of God agreed on the power of memorizing scriptures.

Bottom line, scripture memorization is both cure and prevention from spiritual fortress.

It’s the shortest path from being a lukewarm Christians and becoming a “Spirit Filled” Christians.

I encourage you to memorize God’s word and we can help you.

In the last several years that Dawn and I are helping Christians to memorize scriptures, we’ve seen common mistakes they make.

Today, I’ll reveal one of those mistake and how to correct it so you can make scripture memorization as part of your habit this 2012.

About a year ago or so we surveyed thousands of Christians from all over the world. One the questions was “How do you feel about the importance of scripture memorization?”

74% of the respondent said it is “extremely important”

As you can see most Christians find scripture memorization is really important in their Christian walk.

Here’s the thing…but how come most are not doing it?

Is it because of their age or memory capacity? Nope.

The problem is indecision. They don’t want to make a “DECISION” to make scripture memorization as part of their life. When I say “decision”, I mean a committed and serious decision.

Why most don’t want to make this committed decision?

Because when you do not memorize scriptures on a regular basis there seems to be no apparent effect in your Christian walk. There’s no instant “bad effect”. That’s why most Christians have a “half-baked” commitment when memorizing.

It’s like eating cheese burger. They’re unhealty food and may cause a heart attack. If you eat it today, you won’t feel fatter the next day nor you’ll have a heart attack immediately.

But no mistake about it…yes, the bad effect may not be immediate but it is still unhealthy for you.

Scripture memorization will help you stronger spiritually as you meditate God’s promises whereever and whenever. You’re not limited by the availability of your Bible.

Try this: Close your eyes and meditate just one scripture meaningfully. Do it three times and you’ll immediately feel His presence and power. Fear and stress naturally disappear.

Job 1:8 clearly stated that by meditating God’s word you will be prosperous and successful.

So I encourage you to memorize God’s powerful words.
