Fortress Fortress

Who causes sudden destruction to flash forth upon the strong so that destruction comes upon the fortress’ (Amos 5:9; AMP).

The power of any strong army is its fortress. Like its name, a fortress is usually very fortified. The fortress we are actually considering today is the spiritual one, which is the power base of the enemies.

From there, the forces of wickedness move into action against lives and destinies. Fortresses are built in dark places and realms, far away from the discovery of the natural mind. It takes a divine revelation to discover satanic fortresses.

The strength of any fortress lies in its age; that is, the time the enemy started building it. Some fortresses in people’s lives today started as a little thing some twenty, thirty or forty years ago. You can imagine how strong, massive and deeply entrenched they must have become by now. The strongman has over the years built the fortress in such a way that it is often difficult to attack or destroy him. He has built it in such a way that it can withstand great efforts on the part of the Christian who attempts to destroy it.

The enemy builds the fortress in such a way that he can easily attack individuals and entire families while they find it difficult to attack back. The defense system around fortresses is also unparalleled. The fortress is a place where deadly weapons of the enemy are released to steal, kill and destroy lives and glorious destinies.

Locked up in the fortresses are blessings, virtues, glories and visions of individuals, families, communities, states and nations of the world. The massiveness and level of fortification of any fortress depends on the kind of spoils the enemy designed it to protect.

But here comes the good news. The One who is stronger than the strong says He will cause destruction to flash upon them so that destruction comes upon their fortresses. Another version says: “With blinding speed and power he destroys the strong, crushing all their defenses.”

The enemy has been oppressing the poor, trampling on the weak, afflicting the helpless. But their Redeemer is strong; the Lord of hosts is his name: He will thoroughly plead their cause and give them rest (Jer. 50:34). This is a divine verdict. God’s fiery anger is visiting all the enemies of the fortress who are master-minding satanic assaults against you. In Jesus mighty name!

Today’s Corporate Prayer: Heavenly weapons of mass destruction, locate the fortress of my enemies today. In the name of Jesus!
