Can't Make This Stuff Up By Whoa SusannahSample

We really can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. First Corinthians 10:13 says, “No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.” God will help us hang up those hang-ups!

Hang-ups don’t have to be addictions to food or nicotine or alcohol like mine. Temptations can present themselves to us in many different ways. We can be tempted to constantly fear and worry. And, the Enemy wants us to be bound to strongholds. He wants us so tightened by his grip that we cannot see our purpose—that we cannot clearly hear from the Lord and live an abundant life of peace. . . .

Believing we’re always going to be in oppression to our hang-ups is a lie straight from hell. Believing we are just naturally worried, anxious people is a lie straight from hell. Believing we need alcohol or drugs or whatever vice to survive is a lie straight from hell. Believing depression isn’t curable is a lie straight from hell.

God’s sweet truth found in the Bible sets us free. The sweet truth of Scripture causes the Enemy to cower. The sweet truth that Jesus died on the cross for every iniquity, every weakness, every sin sets us free. We’ve got to know the truth, meditate on the truth, and keep the truth bound around our necks and in our hearts.

God can also provides relief to us through many other solutions. However, these things are not substitutes for the Word—the truth—but they are wonderful tools to help defeat our strongholds. I’m proof that prayer works.

Refuse to believe that strongholds are just a way of life for you and your loved ones. That right there is one of those lies straight from hell.

The truth. The truth. The truth.

Know it. Claim it. Speak it.
