7No matter who you are or where you live, you are in the middle of a war. Strongholds hinder you from becoming all that God desires for you and the person you truly long to be.

In this war, Satan has specific assignments against us that can become strongholds in our lives--issues involving anger, sex, alcohol, drugs, pornography, food, obsessive thoughts of fear or anxiety, depression, and hatred.

In 21 Days of Prayer to Overcome Strongholds, author Jim Maxim takes you on a journey of intercessory warfare in which you will learn firsthand the truths that dominate the unseen reality of the supernatural world.

The Bible tells us that in this battle, "the weapons of our warfare are not carnal [made of flesh and bones] but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds" (2 Corinthians 10:4).

God's truth and the power of intercessory prayer will enable you to wield the spiritual weapons that cast down the strongholds in your life and the lives of your loved ones.

Knowing God--and knowing that He's at work in you with His power and His plan--will enable you to have victory over demonic strongholds like negative emotions, addictions, compulsiveness, inferiority complex, and anything else that is out of control. All of these can be broken and defeated every time through the power of prayer, just as Jesus taught us.

At the end of each day's reading, you are invited to join Jim for interactive, intercessory prayer to overcome the strongholds around you.
