Layer 6: Breaking Strongholds & Spiritual Bondage | Ep. 6

Season #3

In the Season 3 finale, Travis and Adelle go to the deepest level yet. After peeling back the layers of the emotional heart, the body, thoughts, lies, and unforgiveness, they arrive at the core of the enemy’s blueprint: Strongholds and Spiritual Bondage. This episode isn't about what you can see in the natural world; it’s about the spiritual attachments that keep us from the abundant life God intended. Travis and Adelle share how to use the authority of Jesus to break "agreements with hell" and find lasting freedom.

What is a Spiritual Stronghold?

A stronghold is a "deep layer" of deception. It is elusive and spiritual in nature. Travis and Adelle describe it as follows:

  • The Agreement: When we believe a lie repeatedly, we make a spiritual agreement.

  • The Attachment: This agreement creates a spiritual "hook" or attachment in the heart.

  • The Influence: Once an attachment exists, the enemy has the ability to influence your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and identity.

Travis’s Story: The "Unworthy" Stronghold

Even after years of healing, Travis shares how he fell back into a cycle of feeling neglected and undesired by Adelle.

  • The Lie: "She has stopped loving me; she’s not attracted to me."

  • The Behavior: This lie made him show up as "clingy" yet withdrawn, seeking validation elsewhere because he didn't feel "good enough."

  • The Realization: Travis realized this wasn't just a "bad mood"—it was a spiritual weight. By bringing it into the light and using the name of Jesus, he felt a physical weight lift off his body.

The Three-Step Path to Freedom

Using James 4:7, Travis and Adelle outline the spiritual protocol for breaking bondage. This is a battle of authority, not just willpower.

  1. Submit to God (Humility): Take yourself off the throne. Admit you are believing lies and need God’s authority. The enemy laughs at pride; he flees from humility.

  2. Confess and Repent: Bring the specific lie into the light. Confess that you made an agreement with it and turn away from it.

  3. Resist the Enemy: You don't do this in your own name. You use the Name of Jesus—the name above all names—to command the enemy to flee.

Authority in the Heavenly Realms

Travis explains that the spiritual world operates like a military hierarchy. You don't have to be the "General" yourself; you just need to be a friend of the General (Jesus).

  • Binding and Loosing: Based on Matthew 16:19, believers have the keys to the kingdom to "bind" evil and "loose" God's truth on earth.

  • The Holy Spirit’s Power: It is the Holy Spirit in you that channels the victory Jesus won on the cross to execute freedom in your current reality.

Subscribers Corner: Generational Lies

In response to a question from Mi’s Fee, Adelle discusses "generational curses" as generational lies.

  • Inherited Deception: Lies like "I’m not good enough" can be passed down from parent to child.

  • Breaking the Cycle: When you get free, you aren't just doing it for yourself—you are clearing the path for your children and the generations to come.

  • The Weaponry: 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 reminds us that our weapons have "divine power to demolish strongholds."
