The High Places - Part 2

In our contemporary world, idolatry has evolved beyond ancient carved statues into subtle forms that compete for our devotion to God. Modern idols include entertainment, technology, unhealthy relationships, career success, and material possessions. When these elements become more important than our obedience to God, they create spiritual strongholds in our lives.Spiritual bondage often enters through various gateways, including substance abuse and occult practices like tarot cards, horoscopes, and certain forms of entertainment. These seemingly harmless activities can create openings for spiritual influence, leading to symptoms such as persistent fear, anxiety, nightmares, addictive behaviors, and uncontrollable emotions.Breaking free requires a deliberate process of acknowledgment, repentance, and renunciation of agreements with darkness. True freedom comes through fully surrendering to Christ and maintaining a lifestyle of obedience. This involves practical steps like removing objects associated with ungodly practices, breaking harmful soul ties, and consistently putting Jesus first in every area of life.
