  3. Limiting mindset - Proverbs 23:7| 2 Cor. 10:3-6| 2 Timothy 2:24-26 - You can through the mindset oppose yourself - Matthew 18:18. Your mentality can be a limiting factor to your destiny - Romans 12:2|Isaiah 54:2
  4.  Wrong confession - Proverbs 6:|Proverbs 18:9| Mather 12:37. Words of your mouth can either bring you liberty or captivity. What is not your intention should not be your utterance
  5. Spirit of fear - Isaiah 14:3 | Hebrews 2:14-15. Captivities and bondages respond to fear. Nothing comes looking for you unless you fear it. Negativities of life flow in the direction of fear. Allowance for fear equals allowance of evil
