2. Keys of the Kingdom
Matthew 16:19 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."
Mark 3:27 No one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. And then he will plunder his house.

3. Luke 11:20-22 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace,
his goods are in peace.
But when a stronger than he comes upon him and overcomes him,
he takes from him all his armor in which he trusted,
and divides his spoils.
Luke 11:20-22 But if I cast out demons with the finger of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. 21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace. 22 But when a stronger than he comes upon him and overcomes him, he takes from him all his armor in which he trusted, and divides his spoils.

4. 2 Cor. 10:3-5
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

5. Stronghold ochuroma, Greek 3794, okh-oo'-ro-mah
to fortify, through the idea of holding safely
a castle (figurative argument): stronghold.

6. Trauma
By definition trauma is “an overwhelming life event that renders one helpless and/or fearing for his/her life.”
“Trauma overwhelms abilities to cope” and is “outside the range of normal experience (DSM-IV, 1994).” 
Traumatic experiences typically take place beyond the parameters of “collective consciousness.” 
They throw into question or destroy beliefs about self, God and humanity acquired from parents, school, religion and culture. (outside society norms)

7. TRAUMA
Trauma: a bad experience that upsets someone; that makes you feel very upset, afraid, or shocked
Medical: A serious injury or shock to the body, as from violence or an accident
SPIRIT OF TRAUMA can enter your life through accident, emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, shock, verbal abuse, violence, in my life

8. TRAUMA
Trauma is an emotional response to a terrible event like an accident, rape or natural disaster. Immediately after the event, shock and denial are typical.
Longer term reactions include unpredictable emotions, flashbacks, strained relationships and even physical symptoms like headaches or nausea.
While these feelings are normal, some people have difficulty moving on with their lives.

10. TRAUMA
The accounts of trauma victims are typically minimized, distorted or attacked by other people. 
Most victims - misunderstood and further traumatized by the reactions of others. 
Estranged, many tend to move to the edge of their social groups and often begin to doubt the reality of their own experience. 
Many become marginalized and addicted while others try psychiatric help, drug rehab, or a 12 – Step Group. 
Others - mentally ill, chronically fearful and/or angry. Still other become revolutionaries and criminals. 
In very rare cases, some become agents of change, social heroes and prophets.

11. Misunderstandings of Trauma
Many spiritual directors do not understand:
the nature of Post Traumatic Stress, nor its symptoms of intrusion (e.g., flashbacks, nightmares, reliving experiences and panic attacks),
Its denial  symptoms (e.g., depression, numbing, avoidance and various forms of magical thinking etc) that tend to regularly torment most victims of unresolved  trauma. 
Many spiritual directors do not understand the nature of Post Traumatic Stress nor what is behind its symptoms of intrusion (e.g., flashbacks, nightmares, reliving experiences and panic attacks), as well as its denial  symptoms (e.g., depression, numbing, avoidance and various forms of magical thinking etc) that tend to regularly torment most victims of unresolved  trauma.  As a result, many caring professionals are unable to recognise that suffering involves an inability to expand images of self, other, world and God in view of information that has been revealed in and through experiences of trauma.  

12. Invisible Results Of Trauma
As a result, many caring professionals are unable to recognize that suffering involves an inability to expand images of self, others, world and God in view of information that has been revealed in and through experiences of trauma.
In other words, they have a tendency to digress in their minds and get stuck in trauma of the past!
The trauma becomes a spiritual stronghold to hold them captive in their own minds.

13. Suppressed Memories Wrong Thoughts
Unresolved Trauma will allow Memories to Contain Thoughts That, When Triggered By Emotions, Cause Us To Act &/Or React In Certain Ways.
A Problem Exists When The Thoughts Do Not Line Up With Reality Or The Word Of God. (Wrong Mental Interpretation by Child, or Demons Lieing.)
Sometimes a person cannot remember parts of their life. When one is severely oppressed while growing up, he/she has a tendency to block things out. This is a survival tactic and an avenue of escape to avoid losing our mind. After blocking out for some time, a spirit will enter and set up a stronghold. The spirit becomes the strongman of this area in our mind. The stronghold will block the entrance of life’s information and we may not remember parts of our life’s history. The strongman is holding information from those times, and our peace of mind. These are the goods that he has, but they are not legally his, they are yours! Within you is the One who is stronger than the enemy.

LIFE’S INFORMATION: The double arrows represent areas where we had two-way communication of information in life and remember.
We cannot cast out part of you, but it can be delivered and healed. We ask Holy Spirit to heal the hurts and speak truth to you in that area. Meanwhile, we bind the strongman and cast out him and other demons that are guarding this area and blocking your release. This is dividing his spoils! Then, the demon and the blockage will be gone and you will begin to remember past events without the pain.

16. You Possess The Power To Overcome
1 John 4:4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because
He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
When we learn the truth of Jesus’ victory over the devil on the cross for us, and then rely on Him, we can be delivered. The areas that are in bondage are a part of you, but being controlled by a demon. The armor the enemy trusts in is the lies he has deceived you with all this time. The controlling demon, or strongman, will tell the person that it would be bad for it to go. It will say, “If I leave, you will not be able to make it in life. You will not be able to do anything because I have been doing everything and you do not know anything. You need me.” The demon rules by fear and intimidation.

17. 2 Cor. 10:3-5

19. TO DEMOLISH THE STRONGHOLDS:
We Need To CAST DOWN ARGUMENTS (Past And Present Lies) Known Or Unknown: Some We Know; Others Are Buried So Deep Only Jesus Knows.
We Go Back To Those Memories And Allow Jesus To Speak Truth Into Your Life At That Time.
We cannot cast out part of you, but it can be delivered and healed. We ask Holy Spirit to heal the hurts and speak truth to you in that area. Meanwhile, we bind the strongman and cast out him and other demons that are guarding this area and blocking your release. This is dividing his spoils!

20. Every High Thing
And Every HIGH THING THAT EXALTS ITSELF Against The Knowledge Of God,
When We Encounter Demons That Are Trying To Protect, What They Think Is Their Territory, We Bind Them And Cast Them Out, Thereby Tearing Down The Walls.

21. Throw Out the Wrong Thoughts!
Be A Gate-Keeper
BRINGING EVERY THOUGHT CAPTIVE To The Obedience Of Christ = Run Every Thought Through The Word Of God – If It Does Not Line Up With The Word, Do Not Let It Dwell In Your Head
