SPIRITUAL WARFARE
Children of God,
As believers, we are engaged in daily battle. And although is not a physical battle, it can get violent at times, if we get caught unprepared by the enemy. It is a battle of the mind and spirit, where satan and his minions try to manipulate our thoughts away from our obedience to Christ and the truth of His word. How do they do this? Through lies. Lies about our identity, and lies about the finished work of Christ we walk and live by.
This is a warfare fougtht not with physical weapons, but with the divine power God has given us through the Gospel. Through the renewal of the mind toward the truth of God's word. Through aligning our thoughts to what He says about us, and bringing every thought and argument influenced by the enemy's lies captive to the obedience of Christ.
God has given us the spiritual weapons to tear down strongholds and put the enemy in his place of defeat, by standing firm on Truth.
We warfare from a place of divine victory, through the death, burial and resurrection of our Savior.
2 Corinthians 10:3-5
New King James Version
“3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,”
