An excerpt from “The Mental Health Solution.com” entitled, “What Is A Spiritual Foothold/Stronghold?” states: “Footholds/strongholds are points of operation, allowing Satan to exert power over us. They impact our thinking, our emotions and, often, our behavior. Only through the Lord’s power will we be able to be break free from Satan’s control. We have no power from within or without, except for the Lord.” This article may be viewed at: https://thementalhealthsolution.com/aboutthebible/whatisaspiritual.html [Reflection is based on the Bible Reference – Ephesians 4:27]
Application: “A wise person can handle an insult without firing one back. A wise person doesn’t vent his or her thoughts and feelings at every opportunity. A wise person knows how to de-escalate a situation with his or her words rather than make things worse.” [Source: https://lifehopeandtruth.com/change/sin/what-does-the-bible-say-about-anger/a-foothold-for-the-devil ]
