Stones, Surrender, and Strongholds | The Book of Joshua with Pastor Josef Massanari September 28, 2025 Visit us online https://www.cornerstonelv.com https://www.facebook.com/lvcornerstone  https://www.instagram.com/cornerstone_lv/

Bishop Robert Vona preaches from 2 Samuel 5:4–10, Romans 6–8, 2 Corinthians 10:4–5, and Ephesians 6:10–12, calling the church to confront and destroy spiritual strongholds that keep believers bound. Just as David took the stronghold of Zion, Christians must take authority in Jesus' name over fear, sin, and doubt. Born again of water and Spirit, we are called to live in victory, not condemnation, clothed in Christ's righteousness and empowered by the Holy Ghost. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to pull down every stronghold.

In this message, Pastor Neal Nolan is speaking part two of a message during our midweek service entitled "Strongholds". This sermon was recorded on September 24th, 2025 at our main campus in Florence, SC Support the show

What if the very thing you've been fighting all along is the very thing you need to let go of? What if the patterns, shame, and fear you've been holding onto aren't obstacles to push through, but signals pointing you toward freedom? In this episode, Emily sits down with Kevin Crenshaw, known as The Heart Guy, who has spent over a decade helping leaders and individuals break free from the patterns, fears, and habits that keep them stuck. His own near-death experience, chronic illness, and mental health struggles forced him to confront the things he couldn't control and taught him that surrender to God, not pushing harder, is often the first step toward transformation. Together, Emily and Kevin explore the experiences that shaped his journey and the insights he now shares with others to help them release what no longer serves them, step confidently into God's plan, and live with more clarity, freedom, and purpose. What You'll Learn: The ways surrender can break cycles of shame, fear, and limiting patterns. The life-changing reality of deliverance and the Holy Spirit Stories of real transformation that show how trusting God changes everything The truth about calling, anointing, and the crushing process How fasting, surrender, and obedience transform your daily walk Timestamps: (02:32) - From Ayahuasca to Jesus: Kevin's breaking point (06:16) - Wrestling with God and letting go (09:51) - How social media and success become traps (15:42) - Seeing your business as a garden, not a rocket (18:46) - Resisting temptation and slowing down with God (24:14) - Shame as a spiritual parasite and breaking the stronghold (28:07) - The horizontal vs vertical plane of evolution (32:07) - What true deliverance is (and why it's not a healing modality) (46:09) - Do you need deliverance more than once? (56:02) - When fasting becomes fuel for your spirit (01:00:12) - Identity through God, not things (01:03:14) - The crushing before the calling: why God tests before He trusts (01:07:03) - Kevin's new book “Perspectives” (01:10:30) - Kevin's prayer Grab a copy of Kevin's Book: Perspectives | https://www.heartguy.com/book  Connect with Kevin: Website | https://www.heartguy.com/  Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/the.heart.guy Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/kevcrenshaw  More from Emily & FORDIVINE: Website |  https://meetemilyford.com   Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/itsemily         Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/itsemilymethod    YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/c/ITSEMILYFORD  Called & Crowned Podcast | https://www.instagram.com/calledandcrowned/  FORDIVINE | https://www.fordivine.com/ 

Some struggles don't respond to surface-level solutions—because they're rooted deep in generational patterns, emotional wounds, or hidden agreements we've made in the spirit.   In this episode, I unpack the concept of root strongholds—the underlying belief systems and spiritual footholds that shape behavior, relationships, and even ministry outcomes. These are not just bad habits. They're entrenched lies that must be exposed and displaced by the truth of God's Word.   We'll walk through:   The difference between fruit issues and root issues How to recognize the spiritual architecture behind persistent patterns Why repentance, renewal, and renunciation are critical to lasting freedom How to partner with the Holy Spirit to pull down strongholds and rebuild on truth     If you've ever felt stuck in cycles of discouragement, fear, rejection, or shame—this teaching will equip you to break agreement with the enemy and walk in the liberty Christ paid for.  

  You don't have to keep falling in the same old holes – you don't have to stay stuck in the same old negative thoughts or behaviors – in Christ, you have weapons that have divine power to destroy strongholds.

The sermon recounts a story of hope and freedom, emphasizing the power of faith and spiritual warfare in overcoming seemingly insurmountable challenges. It highlights the importance of recognizing and renouncing occultic involvement, bitterness, and rebellion, while actively building a foundation of truth through diligent study and prayer. The speaker shares a compelling narrative of a young man delivered from hopelessness and a six-year-old girl who also experienced spiritual liberation, underscoring the transformative potential of taking back ground and standing firm against deception, ultimately encouraging listeners to actively engage in spiritual warfare and build towers of truth within their families.

Strongholds & Principalities: Understanding Spiritual WarfareIn this powerful teaching, discover the crucial difference between strongholds and principalities in spiritual warfare and how God has designed breakthrough to happen in both areas.STRONGHOLDS (Individual Level - 2 Cor 10:4)- Personal thoughts and imaginations that oppose Christ's truth.- Mental barriers that prevent believers from walking in their authority.- How to overcome these in your own life.PRINCIPALITIES (Territorial Level - Eph 6:12)  - Demonic forces operating over regions, cities, and areas.- How they maintain control over territories.- God's strategy for toppling these powers.✅ You cannot override someone else's will - but you can share the gospel.✅ As people turn from principalities to Jesus, spiritual ties are severed.✅ Eventually, principalities topple and fall in entire areas.✅ God operates through redeemed individuals empowered by His Spirit.Scripture Focus:- 2 Corinthians 10:4 - Our weapons against strongholds.- Ephesians 6:12 - Wrestling against principalities.- Luke 10:18-20 - Jesus gives us authority to trample Satan's kingdom.Your real source of joy isn't just that spirits submit to your authority, but that your name is written in heaven and you belong to God's kingdom!Walk in the authority Christ has given you. It's getting darker but darkness doesn't have to be in you, your home, or your workplace - you have power over it all.---

In this episode of Extraordinary Living, Roger Morris explains the concept of spiritual strongholds and the power of applying the word of God to overcome them. Through a detailed discussion of Ephesians 6:10-18 and the importance of the 'armor of God,' Roger emphasizes the necessity of knowing and standing firm on God's word to combat the devil's schemes. He stresses the significance of not just passively waiting for divine intervention but actively cooperating with the Holy Spirit. Using the story of Moses and the Israelites at the Red Sea in Exodus 14:10-17, Roger illustrates how faith and obedience to God's word in action can lead to miraculous deliverance.

This week Pastor Brandon continues our new series Break Free with a powerful message on overcoming strongholds. Strongholds are real. They can hold our thoughts captive, distort how we see ourselves, and keep us chained in fear and sin. But the good news of the gospel is that we are not powerless. The Spirit of Christ lives in us, and that means we have the spirit of a fighter inside of us. Through Ephesians 6 and the armor of God, we're reminded that God has equipped us with everything we need to stand firm against the enemy's schemes:

Are you stuck in cycles of fear, sin, or bondage? That's not God's will for you. In this message, I'll show you how to identify and destroy spiritual strongholds, once and for all.   The Encounter Podcast Ep.44

Knowing Who You Are helps you step up and be who God has called you to be.

We reflected on the lessons of Daniel and Israel's history, seeing how God's dealings with His people reveal warnings and encouragement for us today. We considered the danger of spiritual strongholds—fear, pride, doubt, and rebellion—and the necessity of relying on God's strength rather than our own. The importance of humility, submission to God's will, and obedience to His word was emphasized through the stories of Jehoiakim, Hezekiah, and Miriam. We also saw the power of prayer, fellowship, and trust in God's timing, recognizing that Satan's kingdom is divided and ultimately defeated, while God provides deliverance and victory to those who depend on Him.Themes:God's dealings with Israel as preparation and teaching for His church (Daniel; 2 Kings; Chronicles; Isaiah)The danger of spiritual strongholds: fear, pride, rebellion, and doubtReliance on spiritual weapons over carnal means (2 Corinthians 10)Humility and daily submission to God's counsel, like gathering manna each dayHezekiah's obedience, destruction of idols, and prayer for courage against enemiesTrusting God's strength over fear, anger, and demonic oppositionFellowship and intimacy with Christ as the source of true joyWarnings against poor teaching, private fellowships, and spiritual isolationThe danger of resisting God's chosen servants (Numbers 12; Miriam and Moses)Trust in God's timing and provision, even in the face of lies and false teachingSatan's kingdom divided against itself and destined for defeat (Matthew; Mark; Revelation)Scripture References:Daniel; 2 Kings; 2 Chronicles; Isaiah; Galatians 6:14; Matthew 5:25; James 4:6; Numbers 12; 2 Corinthians 10; Matthew; Mark; Revelation

Some lies don't just pass through our minds — they take root, build walls, and hold us captive. But in Christ, even the strongest strongholds can come crashing down.”

Join us this week as we continue the Series: Head Space. This week we read in 2 Corinthians 10:5 how we must take our thoughts captive so our thoughts don't take us captive. Strongholds don't just affect our thoughts, they drive what we do. We also learn how to replace the lies we tell ourselves or believe with God's Truth.

Pastor Jeremiah Gabbard |II Cor. 10:1-6; II Tim. 2:24-26

The Bible is very clear that we are to take thoughts captive, those thoughts that stand against the very knowledge of God. But are we? Gas prices, eggs, interest rates, viruses, attacks from enemies, inflation, tariffs, family, health, oh my God what ever will we do?  Satan is using your own thoughts to hire you to build strongholds or prisons in your own mind! Do we have an answer for the times we live in? OR are we just subject to whatever this world tosses our way? How does one renew the mind? Lets talk about it.

When you sin, does it give Satan a legal right to attack you? I feel like I've given the enemy twenty seats at my table, and now I have so many strongholds to get rid of in my life. Is that right? How can I fix this?

What we expose our minds to influences and shapes us in significant ways often beyond our conscious awareness. Using various Scriptures, this message will deepen our understanding of mind exposure and increase our vigilance to protect our minds. Speaker: Kyle Idleman

In John 10:10, Jesus says, “I came that you might have life, and might have it abundantly.” Are you living the abundant life in Christ, or are you living in defeat, chained to a sin you cannot get victory over?

Strongholds are subtle. Built over time, and strengthened without our intention, often we are unaware of the strongholds that the enemy has in our life. But rather than just coping, or swatting them away, how about destroying them? That is precisely what we are told to do.

Anne shares from Joshua 7.

“For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” (2 Corinthians 10:3–5 NIV) The sword of the Spirit that the apostle Paul talks about in Ephesians 6 is not only for deflecting a blow from the enemy; it’s also for inflicting one. This is something the devil doesn’t want you to know. He doesn’t want you to start attacking, because if you’re always defending, then he’s in the superior position. But if you’re attacking, then you’re in the superior position. If you have a hard time picturing your Bible as a weapon, look at Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians 10:3–5 above. As believers, our battles are spiritual. Standard military weaponry and tactics don’t apply. The battles take place in our hearts and minds. They’re played out in our thoughts, philosophies, priorities, and beliefs. And because the Bible is God’s truth—the ultimate and most powerful source of truth—nothing else can match its impact. It has the power to demolish the excuses, philosophies, reasoning, and arguments that cause people to oppose and reject the Christian faith. As spiritual warriors for Christ, we must confront the lies of this world with the truth of God’s Word. That’s how we wield the sword of the Spirit. We also use it to set the devil’s spiritual captives free. We do that by sharing the gospel with unbelievers using the words of Scripture. In Acts 8, we see this scenario play out in the life of Philip, an early Christian evangelist. Philip ministered in the city of Samaria, where he “told the people there about the Messiah” (verse 5 NLT). As a result, “people believed Philip’s message of Good News concerning the Kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ” (verse 12 NLT). What looks like evangelism to us is actually spiritual battle. Philip used the Good News to attack the devil’s stronghold in Samaria. In verse 26, an angel of the Lord gave Philip marching orders: “Go south” (NLT). Like a good soldier, Philip obeyed. He found an Ethiopian official who was trying to understand a Bible passage. Philip used the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God, to help the man understand the truth about Jesus. Armed only with the words of Scripture, he took the battle to the devil. Make no mistake about it: There is authority and power in the Word of God. My words will fall to the ground, but God’s Word sticks. God’s Word breaks through. We could spend all day trying to defend and explain the Bible, but I have a better idea: Use the sword of the Spirit. That’s what Philip did, and that’s what we need to do as well.

In this GoMission episode, Mark Gilmore sits down with BCM senior Ben Stoeckmann to reflect on his seven-week internship in Grenada. From curvy mountain roads to palm-lined beaches, Ben's journey was filled with gospel opportunities—three Cola Clash–style youth outreaches, preaching in multiple communities, and connecting with local believers. Yet, the greatest lesson came not from the events themselves, but from what followed: the urgent need to pray for and invest in disciples, not just decisions. Through firsthand experiences and the example of national pastor Jeremy Scott, Ben shares how intentional, life-on-life ministry can break strongholds and multiply lasting fruit.Topics DiscussedLocation, culture, and spiritual climate of GrenadaInternship under national pastor Jeremy ScottThree Cola Clash–style youth outreaches in Victoria, Chantimelle, and Mount RichOvercoming challenges of rainy season and cultural differencesSpiritual strongholds: works-based religion, drinking, immorality, and subtle animismMiraculous connections with young men hungry for God's WordThe importance of praying for disciples as fervently as for salvation decisionsPastor Scott's “life-on-life” discipleship modelApplying disciplemaking principles both overseas and in the U.S.Ben's personal call to missions and growing burden for the Hispanic worldKey TakeawaysSalvation decisions are only the starting point; true Great Commission work requires making disciples.Prayer for discipleship should be just as urgent and intentional as prayer for conversions.Life-on-life investment—sharing ministry and everyday moments—is essential for spiritual growth.Cultural openness to the gospel does not eliminate the need to address deep-rooted spiritual strongholds.The principles of effective disciplemaking overseas are just as vital to practice at home.If you have your own unique story of gospel advance or if you sense God leading you toward a particular people group, we'd love to hear about it.
