New Covenant Fulfillment- Part 4, RECAP

FORWARD,

The concept of strongholds is something that we can recognize more easily if we learn to identify false patterns of fear and heal with confidence in our position in Christ. These strongholds are designed to take what we have and distort it, leading to broken expectations and disappointment. They then redefine our values, putting us into works and striving (pain) that leads to reactive and over-exaggerated decision-making. The enemy is relying on these places to instill fear in us and disable simple fixes, preventing us from relying on God. These values that control us are the wrong beliefs that don't hold scriptural authority, causing us to create an unbelief-response that is filled with destructive emotions that target our opinion of God's goodness, faithfulness, and the structure of His love.

We have prayed powerfully to block a spirit of fear, which acts as an opposite response to God's approval, causing us to act with extreme caution in response to our pain. This despairing realm invites access points where we accept attacks that degrade our function, position, and ability to pray in an open heaven. Fear is a realm that is difficult to recognize, but it can minimize the Word, manipulate our weaknesses, and invite feelings of intimidating judgment. On the other hand, open heaven is based on a spirit of love, power, and a sound mind. Our faith allows The Spirit's power to exalt Christ over those places the enemy is signaling to us as unworthiness, unbelief, and judgment. In Christ, we can receive spiritual defenses in the Word and His presence to defend against those weaknesses and fear.

We need to receive God's love, which brings acceptance and a commendable spirit, power that exalts Christ over access points of fear, and a sound mind that divinely anoints our faculties to have healthy responses from open heaven, taking captive false realities in our mind that divide us and break us from our strength in our identity. We need to put boundaries over our prayer life against fear and remember that our positional authority and faith are what produces within us the promise of open heaven.

God does not give us a spirit that makes us feel unworthy and invites us to come to Him as a broken, self-condemned vessel. Peace-breaking lies are not what we are supposed to receive from Him. God is not the author of that negative faith experience, and the Bible warns against that kind of methodology. We need those supports while we press through struggles, and God does not require something from us before we can receive His biblical support. Religious fear is a false-qualifying mechanism of unbelief that is contrary to the New Covenant.

Jesus is the author of the things that exalt the information we have through our faith, which brings an open heaven of love and authority to block the enemy's wicked deception and depression that comes at us from all sides. By the Spirit, Jesus is telling us that we have what it takes to discern the victory we have in Christ and live in His anointed fullness in His presence when our faith exalts Christ over spiritual distractions. We need to lay aside the weight of an identity that operates in a wrong spirit that leaves us spiritually exhausted or confused.

If our minds are not ordained by God with His reasoning, they will be controlled by other things that decide our identity, function, and position outside of truth. Faith exalts Christ over the lies of the enemy, enabling us to see beyond the evidence of what is hindering us and discern the faith-solution. Christian development and church support are vital in this journey of spiritual growth, and we must remember that our faith is our shield, and our identity in Christ is our anchor, helping us to stand strong against the enemy's attacks.
                     "Religious-fear is a false-qualifying mechanism of unbelief and is contrary to the New Covenant."

The ultimate goal of spiritual warfare is to deceive and ensnare us based on false assumptions about how God will respond to our situations. This does not necessarily require any specific fault on our part, but rather is a result of our flawed perspective and false hopes that overpower our understanding of who God is and what His promises to us entail. This test reveals our own faulty reasoning and judgments, which can lead to a sense of incompleteness and a lack of trust in God. It is only when we fully surrender ourselves to God that we can experience the true completeness and fulfillment that He promises.

1. The test of becoming Christ-like.
This test will manifest in the form of our own conclusions and judgments based on our thinking and reasoning.

A reflection of our own thinking and reasoning, and how we make conclusions and judgments. It is a test of our faith and our ability to trust in God, even when things seem uncertain.

2. The Reason for the tests and trials.
Our reaction to the situation at hand will reveal our lack of reverence for Christ.

The way we react to situations reveals our reverence for Christ. Our response to spiritual warfare and trials can either lead us closer to God or further away from Him.

3. What we encounter in spiritual warfare and the real call to action.
If we have a flawed perspective of ourselves as incomplete, we may encounter experiences that we have not given to God. These experiences can leave us feeling overwhelmed and helpless, but the call to action is to surrender these areas of our lives to God.

4. What is the challenge of becoming Christ-like if it can't be through striving under the law, through moral codes or self-effort to address matters of character and ability in ourselves. 
Through moral codes or self-effort to address matters of character and ability in ourselves: The challenge of becoming Christ-like is not something that can be achieved through our own efforts or moral codes. Instead, it requires a complete surrender to God and an acknowledgement of our own weakness and need for His grace. If things seem to be falling apart, it is likely due to a false reality, false hope, or skewed perspective that overshadows our understanding of who God is and what brings Him glory- to see if they align with God's truth of what He is desiring for us.

5.What is the real purpose that spiritual warfare is expressing itself in places we haven't given to God.

We must be vigilant in examining our beliefs and surrendering them to Christ, so that we may have a proper understanding of His promises to us. We may fall into the trap of thinking that we're incomplete, which only serves to reinforce our sense of

powerlessness. The groundwork for Christ's completeness is identifying and confronting these patterns of self-defeat brought about by the fears associated with our striving in incompleteness in ourselves apart from what Christ has done already.

6. The fulfillment of the cross, which is to say His promise in our lives, is what defeats every judgement about Himself, and about us toward God.

The fulfillment of the New Covenant through the sacrifice of the cross is the ultimate defeat of any false judgments we may have about God and ourselves. By embracing His promises, we are set free from the grip of spiritual warfare.

7. He can keep us faultless through the struggle, and spiritual warfare.

In the midst of the struggle, God promises to keep us faultless, providing the strength we need to overcome the enemy's attacks.

8.The enemy uses cycles of fear to keep us locked in those strongholds.

The enemy uses cycles of fear to keep us trapped in our strongholds, preventing us from experiencing the freedom and completeness that Christ offers. These are not goals for our spiritual life God is causing but rather in service to get our attention to come to a clearer, more established foundation to build our faith upon.

9. We have to let God prove Himself in the battle and He does that through His promise.

While going out of our way to take on spiritual forces isn't the idea of new covenant fulfillment, you may naturally succumb to places we realize are not for our benefit. The idea is not to react making matters worse. Honesty and transparency go hand in hand hand as we engage the prospect of spiritual warfare in an even keel, balances way. We must trust in God's promise to prove Himself faithful in the battle, allowing His power to manifest in and through us. This patient framework prevents us from delusion, diversion and distraction in spiritual warfare and keeps our feet from stumbling by weighty influences in wrong perspectives taking us to the foot of deeper harm than God intends us to experience.

10. The whole goal of spiritual warfare is falling short of being able to control or handle the outcome of the battle which gets us consistently focused on ourselves.

The goal of spiritual warfare is to bring us to a place where we recognize our inability to control or handle the outcome of the battle, leading us to depend fully on God.

11. There are broken and incomplete places the enemy is using in our cycles of fear outside Christ's fulfillment.
       A. To get us to strive in them
       B. To doubt what God is able to do
       C. To keep us from recognizing who He is: His promises.

12. Whatever draws us away from God will be a result of striving. 
       (a) *Context of Fear (b) *Context of Striving (c) *Context of the Law                                       

13. Evaluation of facts, not emotions:

We must evaluate the facts of our situation, rather than allowing our emotions to dictate our response. It is important to recognize that God is not the source of our fear or brokenness, but rather the enemy who seeks to limit our understanding of God's involvement in our lives. The Spirit of God doesn't use diverse, disembodied incomplete representations of a form of Himself to get our attention in our broken cry's, He uses the full redemptive power of the Cross to bring us into New Covenant Fulfillment over ever fear in ourselves: A complete work of Gospel power doesn't create 'workers,' it creates completeness in our faith. I'm not really seeking God if I think in those *'terms' of receiving from God. God is not creating the broken groundwork of my approach of fear. Respectively, God is not responding this way toward me either. We are generally responding to an argument sprung from spiritual warfare that questions God, limits or discourages His involvement- we are self-dependent, self-focused and frustrated with ourselves.
Fears and doubts often stem from spiritual warfare that seeks to undermine our trust in God.
(a) Is this the stronghold of fear waging against us? (b) Is that what our fear is based upon?

QUESTION: God is saying, "Do you really want this experience to dominate your responses while you keep failing every test?

QUESTION: "Do you want to keep living in this mindset where everything is falling apart for the rest of your life?" 

Based on Timothy 2:26, Jude's Epistle on "keeping us from falling," And the structure of wholeness in New Covenant teaching, do we see the thriving promise in God's appeal through the scripture that our christian witness and testimony is built on a cry of genuine passion to live in His fulness, and not a regiment of rules, and demoralizing adherences in which Gospel truth is misapplied, mishandled and broken from a true power God is offering us?

God is asking us to consider whether we truly want to be dominated by fear and self-doubt, or whether we are ready to trust in His promises and experience the completeness and fulfillment that He offers. He reminds us that our struggles and challenges are not a reflection of His limitations, but rather of our own flawed perspective and faulty reasoning. It is only by surrendering ourselves to Him and trusting in His promises that we can overcome the traps of spiritual warfare and find true victory on the keys of power. He bridges the gap of separation with the interventions of reconciliation to unite us with Himself in the Love of God with accuracy of scripture, the perfect design of our identity In Christ, and a witness of His presence on qualified prayer He is eternally obligated to abide by when we reverence Christ in genuine true power, witness and testimony.

DEFINITIVE OVERVIEW AND INFALLABLE CONCLUSION TO: "What is a stronghold?"

Strongholds are structures of the mind that are built through a process of brokenness, disappointment, and false patterns of fear. They have one purpose: to take what you have and distort it, confusing your ability and redefining the values of your position in Christ. By exalting information over you, strongholds create a place of disruptive conflict that puts you in an over-exaggerated decision-making state. However, the information itself has no real effect on us; rather, our response creates the over-exaggeration, and we fail to identify the blind-spots that are gaining ground over God's reality.

The enemy relies on these blind-spots to put us in fear-mode and disable simple fixes, preventing us from relying on God. Instead, the values that control us fill these places, which would otherwise be in God's control, and the wrong beliefs that do not reverence scriptural authority take root. This creates an unbelief-response within us, filled with destructive emotions that target our opinion of God's goodness, faithfulness, and the structure of His love.

By recognizing false patterns of fear and learning to heal in confidence over ourselves in the position we have in Christ, we can identify these strongholds and overcome them. It is only by relying on God's truth and authority that we can break free from the strongholds that keep us from experiencing the fullness of His love and grace.

Summary of false claims: Counsel.

"The enemies' attacks find their source in pain, which emanates from the feelings of our flesh. False claims assert that we are alone, that God cannot or will not help, that our situation is not valuable enough or worthy of His time, and thus not worth attempting to reconcile. We believe ourselves to be trapped in a storm, one created by a false reality that seems to be falling apart, no matter how hard we try to hold it together. The notion of being unvalued or unloved dominates our thoughts, and we seek apologies from others to alleviate our pain. We believe that the situation beyond our reach is cursing and plaguing our success and serves only to bridge our feelings of inadequacy with complaints about the validity of ongoing factors that seem to be doing us a disservice.

We believe that we are not seen in the eyes of favor or as a gift of God, so there is no point in trying to reconcile the pain we feel. Our voices are breaking, and we can't seem to find a definitive solution to our pain. Consequently, we demand that other parties remain silent to our needs. We believe that if others feared God, we would be covered and mediated from the perceptions we have of them.

Very little information in the world makes sense, and it stunts our perception, limiting our valid concerns of the world to our own inconsistency. We sense more demonic activity when we're pressured to strive in arguments because it reminds us of the feelings of devalued care or concern that people hold over our inability, even if we can't identify if it's true. We consider ourselves immature and foolish for trying to deal with the past, and if our best efforts fail today before God, they count for nothing.

It is hard for us to speak in love if we can't get past the certain way we think or feel about love itself. We feel the weight of our pain, and it hinders our ability to communicate, but we refuse to give up and will continue to an even keel towards healing."

The summary of false claims, or false opinion from the altar of protest, subtle progression of fear, striving, works in adherence to the law, and performance of self-ability without God's empowerment of Gospel witness to the said progression above presents a range of negative beliefs and feelings that can prevent someone from seeking a definitive response and reconciliation to their circumstances. These beliefs and feelings can include a sense of hopelessness, worthlessness, and isolation, as well as a perception that others are responsible for their pain and that external factors are conspiring against them. In this case, "God is not on our side, and is allowing detrimental storms, circumstances to arise in which are beyond our reach- and we feel vulnerable in spiritual battles when we misapply biblical perspectives." They may not necessarily be based on objective reality. To overcome these obstacles and achieve a definitive response and reconciliation, it may be necessary to challenge these negative beliefs and feelings and work on cultivating a more positive and proactive mindset. Ultimately, by confronting and overcoming these false claims, individuals can move forward with greater clarity, purpose, and optimism.
Ultimately, it is important to cultivate a sense of self-compassion and recognize (Even keel, balanced approaches) that experiencing setbacks and difficulties is a normal part of the human experience. What isn't effective, is to hold onto strongholds of false reality and build scriptural dead-ends in our attempts at transition, mediation or guarding against these enemy devices in the works of our flesh; our own merits and invalid methods we feel forced into mismanaging them. As instructed here, we become victims of self-defeat in the last days holding onto opinions about Christ which push away on the very merits of what God could use in our lives through a walk in the Spirit to break every opposition behind, or in front of us holding us back from a thriving spiritual life of completeness.

From a New Covenant perspective, the summary of false claims described above can be addressed with the following responses:

• Pain is not the immediate source of the enemy's attacks, but rather, the enemy seeks to take advantage of pain and use it to discourage and defeat us. To misdirect how it is applied and handled in an unhealthy mindset. However, through faith in Jesus Christ, we have the power to overcome the enemy's attacks. It is not true that God cannot or will not help us. In fact, He desires to help us and has already provided for our needs through Jesus Christ. We are valuable and worthy of God's time and attention.

• Our reality is not false, but rather, it is colored by our perceptions and experiences. We can trust in the truth of God's Word and His promises to guide us through difficult situations.
• Even when it seems like nothing is working and everything is falling apart, we can hold onto the hope that God is still in control and working all things together for our good.
• We are loved and valued by God, and our worth does not depend on the opinions or actions of others. We do not need apologies from others to find healing and wholeness.
• We do not need to be in control of every aspect of our lives, as we can trust in God's sovereignty and His plan for our lives. We can surrender our circumstances to Him and trust that He will bring about His perfect will.
• We are not cursed or plagued by our circumstances, but rather, we can have victory over them through faith in Jesus Christ. We are not inadequate or unworthy, but rather, we are children of God and heirs to His promises.
• We are seen by God and valued as His children. We do not need to strive for the approval of others or seek validation from the world. Instead, we can find our worth and identity in Christ.
• We do not need to silence others in order to express ourselves. Rather, we can communicate with love and grace, trusting that God will work in the hearts of those we interact with.
• We do not need to fear the opinions or judgments of others, as we can trust in the love and grace of God. We are not immature or foolish for trying to deal with the past, but rather, we can find healing and forgiveness through Jesus Christ.
• We can learn to speak in love by seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit and trusting in the love of God. We do not need to be limited by our own perceptions or feelings, but rather, we can rely on the truth of God's Word.
• We can find meaning and purpose in the world by seeking to glorify God in all that we do. We do not need to be limited by our own inconsistencies or inadequacies, but rather, we can trust in the power of God to work through us.
• We can overcome the activity of the enemy by putting on the armor of God and standing firm in our faith. We do not need to be overwhelmed by fear or doubt, but rather, we can trust in the power of God to protect us and guide us in all things.

The Voice of New Covenant in all learning, seeking and devotion to God means:

• Processing of Gospel foundation, witness and unity of the scriptures toward a complete revelation of God's heart in total view of context of gospel truth over our lives.
• The order and structure of a thriving church model - molecular structure forming the smaller parts, integrating through unity in generating spiritual growth in the collective body to protect the corporate vision and longevity of the church from stagnation, impulsive mismanagements, superficial vibrancy, apathy and complacency in wrong goals, misappropriation of scripture through even keel approaches confirming a genuine testimony of power.
• Appropriation on specific roles and giftings in the body of Christ through Identity.
