Strongholds

• 3 For though we live in the world, we do not wage
  war as the world does.
• 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons
  of the world. On the contrary, they have divine
  power to demolish strongholds.
• 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. 2 Cor. 103-5

Stronghold 2Authentic Self
Oprah When this is all said and done and we look
back on this time of you, Rielle Hunter, the
mistress and all of that, what is it you want
people to really understand about what has
happened here?Rielle All of their feelings
that they're feeling and hatred that's directed
toward me has to do with their fears or their
anger and disappointment and sadness about their
mother cheating on their father or their father
or their husband or their spouse. It has to do
with them, and it doesn't have to do with me,
because they don't know me.

Oprah Why can't it just be that they think that
it's wrong?Rielle People can think that it's
wrong for me to do that. They can think it's
wrong for anyone to do that, but it still has to
do with them thinking it's wrong. It doesn't have
to do with me.
