Summary
In this message from Pastor Levi Lusko, we talk about the hidden spiritual strongholds that quietly hold us back from the life God wants for us.Using Jesus’ words in Matthew 12, learn how the enemy works through division, deception, and distorted thinking to build strongholds in our minds and hearts. Strongholds always start small, but if left unchecked, they grow until they block our vision, limit our freedom, and steal our peace.This message will help you:Identify the strongholds that may be shaping your thoughts and behaviorsUnderstand why you can’t live right if you don’t think rightLearn how spiritual strongholds are demolished and replaced with truthYou don’t have to stay stuck. You don’t have to keep fighting the same battles. And you don’t have to live divided within yourself. It’s about time the strongholds came down.NEXT STEPS:Ask for prayer or connect with a pastor: https://freshlife.church/contactRegister your decision to follow Jesus and receive free resources: https://freshlife.church/know-godGive a financial gift to support what God is doing as we take steps forward to see the Gospel reach far and wide: https://freshlife.church/giveSUBSCRIBE:Sign up to receive encouragement straight to your inbox, and to stay up to date with announcements, events, and more: https://church.us13.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=6ea4d82b2567db3e86b7767cd&id=451f2fe63eDon’t miss a video!

| 0:00.0 | You ever notice how much easier it is to discover other people's issues than your own? |
| 0:37.5 | Right? I can see so clearly what you should do with your life, right? It is funny, too, we're so soft on ourselves, but we're so hard on other people, right? When someone hurts your feelings, right, you might have said the same thing and someone got all, like, you know, flustered, and you're like, they're just dramatic. I was kidding. They should have known I was kidding. Same thing said to you. They're like, how insensitive that person is. I just can't believe it. They meant it. They meant to hurt my feelings, right? We're soft on ourselves. We're hard on others. And sometimes, tragically, we're blind to our own blind spots, right? |
| 0:41.0 | Until your eyes are open to see yourself as you actually are. |
| 0:43.7 | Sometimes you don't even notice, because you're just right there in your life, |
| 0:46.6 | and you can become blind to what you see every day. |
| 0:50.9 | While back, I got really excited about Alexa. |
| 0:53.9 | You know, now I'm trying to, like, detangle my life from her. |
| 0:56.2 | It's complicated, right? But she still is there, right? We're in a situation ship now, but back in the day, I was like all in on Alexa. So I bought |
| 1:02.6 | these plugs. You could buy a plug and put it on any outlet and turn anything that runs on electricity |
| 1:08.6 | into Alexa, even if it didn't even have Alexa in it. And I bought a bunch of these. They were like $9 a piece. I was very excited about them. So I was plugging everything. I was going crazy on Alexa. And Christmas time came and I plugged my Christmas tree into it. I was pretty excited. Actually, low key, like, that's a move. You know what I'm saying? Because bending down, leaning around, you know, |
| 1:28.1 | you get the itchiness on your arm. I was excited I could turn the Christmas tree off and on just with |
| 1:33.0 | my voice. I would show that off to everybody. And then Christmas came and went. And the plug, |
| 1:39.1 | someone, I didn't do it, but someone plugged that Alexa plug into a floor lamp. And we didn't realize it until someone turned the Christmas tree and the lamp turned on. We laughed, but someone plugged that Alexa plug into a floor lamp. And we didn't realize it until someone |
| 1:46.1 | turned the Christmas tree and the lamp turned on. We laughed, but no one did anything about it. |
| 1:49.7 | No one went into that. It would have taken like 16 seconds to change the verbal prompt to turn the |
| 1:55.5 | lamp on, you know, but no one did it. And I'm not joking. It was like almost July, fourth of July. |
| 2:02.0 | And it was just like, |
| 2:05.7 | we didn't even notice it anymore. We would turn that lamp on and off whenever we needed to by telling Alexa to turn off the Christmas tree. And it never occurred to anybody in my family. |
| 2:13.6 | That's not normal human behavior, you know? It's the height. |
| 2:18.3 | Like, look up dysfunctional in the dictionary. |
| 2:20.3 | That's it, right there. |
| 2:21.5 | Alexa, turn on the Christmas tree. |
