Breaking Strongholds by Pulling Down Strongholds

How to Overcome Demonic Strongholds - Habitual Sin

Pulling down strongholds is recognizing negative thoughts and lies you believe in and the habitual sin that has the believer in captivity.  Once you realize it, repent, cast it down, and renew your mind by replacing the negative thought (the lie) with the Word of God. This is continuing the mind. When it comes to habitual sin when tempted. A believer must not entertain the thought but change their thoughts by casting down strongholds or casting down vain imaginations (entertaining the thought). 

The more a believer entertains the thought, the stronger the desire becomes to act out on the sin. 

2 Corinthians 10:4-5 says:

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God
to the pulling down of strongholds; casting down imaginations, and every high thing
that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity
every thought to the obedience to God.

It all starts with a thought. Fear, Images, Wrong thinking or belief

Stronghhold is anything that controls you. It is fortified like a wall to hold you in bondage or prison

Isaiah 25:12

The unassailable fortifications of your walls He will bring down, Lay low and cast to the ground, even to the dust.

2 Corinthians 10:5 5

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

1 Corinthians 10:13

No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.

Ephesians 6:12

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

Spirit of fear

Psalm 27:1

The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the defense of my life; Whom shall I dread?

Ephesians 6:13

Therefore, take up the full armor of God so that you will be able to resist in the evil day and, having done everything, stand firm.

If you recognize it immediately, the thought, the image, or feelings of anxiety, you cast it down and don't agree with it.

You cast it down. 1 Corinthians 10:5

Pornography, Stinkin thinking such as rejection, believing you are rejected by God or God holding back or you are not good enough, or Anxiety because agreeing with fear are sin issues.
