Spiritual Strongholds

CHURCH AND SPIRIT

When Paul speaks of spiritual wickedness in high places”, he is referring to wicked spirits who have infiltrated the religious systems of the world.  They have even crept into the congregations of the righteous.  Satan has organized his evil forces to imitate the organization of the true church of God.  He has set up a form of worship in the spiritual high places.

^Hebrews12:27And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. ²⁸Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: ²⁹For our God is a consuming fire.

 

^{Hebrews 1:7}And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.

 

^{Hebrews 11:34}Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. ³⁵Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: ³⁶And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: ³⁷They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; ³⁸(Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. ³⁹And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: ⁴⁰God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
