The next three strongholds share a common theme. The strongholds of entitlement, narcissism, and adoration present because of a naïve, immature world-view carried into adulthood. What is appropriate and necessary for a three-year-old is not suitable for a thirty-year-old. In 1 Corinthians 13:11 (AMP), it is written: “When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things.” Living entitled, self-focused, and seeking to be worshipped as an adult will end in disaster. Remember, the enemy’s goal is to keep you in that self-absorbed mindset of the three-year-old.

The stronghold of entitlement is the naive belief that I deserve to be served by others. Entitlement is upside-down slavery, where those who see themselves as impoverished and disadvantaged demand service from those viewed as advantaged. All slavery is evil.
