Uprooting Foundational Problems
Prayers 1. I uproot by fire every foundational problem in my life and consume it by fire in the name of Jesus. 2. Father, glorify your name in my life, family and destiny in the name of Jesus.
Text: Matthew 15:13 But He answered and said, “Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted.
Isaiah 49:3 “And He said to me, ‘You are My servant, O Israel, In whom I will be glorified.’ Every foundational problem working against you and your family shall be destroyed today in the name of Jesus.
God’s name will be glorified in your life and family in Jesus name. Amen
What is a foundation? 1. the lowest load-bearing part of a building, typically below ground level. 2. an underlying basis or principle. 3. the basis or groundwork of anything: the moral foundation of both society and religion. 4. part of a structural system that supports and anchors the superstructure of a building and transmits its loads directly to the earth.
Note: The height of an edifice is dependent on its foundation. The strength of the building is dependent on its foundation. A foundation is very important as it supports the load of a house. I have seen houses bend or tilt to a side because of a faulty foundation. Also, buildings including magnificent buildings collapse when the foundation cracks, bends, shifts or is problematic. On the other hand, some buildings usually category 4 and 5 buildings with solid foundations can withstand hurricanes and other storms which destroy other buildings. Some buildings are also now Rocket Steel Buildings. These metal buildings are hurricane rated and tested to withstand up to high velocity winds, heavy snow and even earthquakes. Some common faulty or problematic foundations:
The above are just a few examples of dangerous foundations, which if unchecked may lead to problems. God will deliver us in Jesus name. Some subtle problems like drunkenness, addictions etc. that accentuate the above, for example are not addressed above.
In Judges chapters 6 to 8, Gideon burnt and totally destroyed the idols of his father's house - Baal. He walked with God and with only 300 men destroyed over 35,000 soldiers from the camp of the enemy. God gave Israel victory through him. He was so humble that when he was approached that he should become king, he declined the offer and said God would rule over them. However, in Judges 8:24-27, Gideon collected gold earrings from the people, made an idol from it and he and Israel started worshipping the idol he had made. The Idol of his father's house had caught up with him. Sometimes, people slip back into the rut they had been delivered from or find themselves doing what they had imagined they would never do. Such foundational pull needs to be cut off and destroyed. In some families, it is a generational history of addiction or sickness or polygamy, the non-beneficial foundational linkage needs to be broken.
Problems encountered in life's journey also has foundations which can be uprooted. Uproot them using the approaches we will discuss later and God will give you victory in Jesus name. Every evil seed which are planted may die, germinate, and grow into a plant or a tree with strong roots and start bringing forth fruits. Evil seeds and plants will bring forth evil fruits while good seeds and plants will bring forth good fruits. (Matthew 7:17-18) There could also be ideological foundations which need to be dealt with or religious foundations corrected such as in the case of Saul (Paul) who was jailing and killing Christians instead of supporting them until his evil foundation was uprooted and replaced. Demas’ foundation was not repaired, and he departed from the way of Christ. Simon the sorcerer had an evil foundation. Levi had unprofitable foundations uprooted from his life.
Foundations affecting an individual could be physical, financial or spiritual in nature. This is why Jesus enjoined us to build on a firm foundation. In Matthew 7, the Bible states: 24Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25The rain fell, the torrents raged, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because its foundation was on the rock. 26But everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27The rain fell, the torrents raged, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell—and great was its collapse!”
It is God’s plan to glorify His name in your life, family and destiny. The devil does not want this, he wants individuals to dwell in shame, lack, poverty and disgrace. The plan of the enemy will not stand in your life and destiny in Jesus name. That is why the Bible stated in Lamentations 3:37 that: Who is he who speaks and it comes to pass, When the Lord has not commanded it? Also in Psalm 33:9 that: For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast. Therefore, only what God has declared will stand in your life in Jesus name. God’s plan of glory, abundance and fulfillment will stand in your life, family and destiny in Jesus mighty name.
How should you uproot evil foundations? Things to note: 1. The deeper the foundation, the more the deeper you have to go to uproot it.
2. The right equipment is required: For example, for uprooting dandelion weeds. At the flowery stage it is easier, by the time its roots have gone deep into the ground, you have to use uprooting equipment that goes deep into the soil and make sure you bring out all its roots. If you just cut off the plant and leave the roots, it will grow again, this time, it will require more effort. Not only would the previous effort have been wasted, but the roots would have been further extended into the earth and may spoil the lawn and render the ground unusable for any good thing as the fully grown plant has thorns in them. That would not be a place to play in or have children playing in. Use the right equipment that goes to the root of the problem as discussed below.
3. Uproot, pull down, destroy and throw down evil problematic foundations: The Bible states in Jeremiah 1:10 that:
See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.
These are active military, reconstructive terms. They are not civilian gentlemanly terms.
Hence the need for warfare prayers and bold declarations of the Word of God that will uproot well-seated undesirable foundations.
Pull down evil buildings and constructions.
Destroy (annihilate, cause to perish, reduce to nothing) problematic foundations; throw down – cast down evil thrones, ideas, imaginations, empowerment to do evil, addictions etc.
4. Use mighty weapons that the foundational enemies and problems cannot withstand. These are similar to using mighty machines or equipment in construction, like caterpillars and earth moving equipment. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 that:
3For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
5. Use fire and a hammer: In Jeremiah 23:29 the Bible says:
"Is not My word like fire," declares the LORD, "and like a hammer that smashes a rock?"
The word of God is fire and a hammer.
It is very useful in consuming elements, seeds, evil planting and evil foundations.
The hammer can also be used to shatter evil walls, concrete foundations that are firmly in place and then consume them by fire.
6. Use an axe: According to Jeremiah 51:20 you can engage an axe, the totality of your being and empowerment by God to destroy the works of the enemy since you are God’s battle axe. The Bible states:
You are my battle axe and weapons of war: and with you will I break in pieces the nations; and with you will I destroy kingdoms;
7. Be prayerful: Be fervent in prayer as you apply the above strategies and God will give you victory in Jesus name.
May God grant you the grace to uproot and completely destroy any deep-seated foundational problem in your life and family in Jesus name.
