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 Corinthians 10:4-5 NIV Bible Gateway
Spiritual war doesn’t involve the weapons you may typically think of in battle but it is prayer, the Bible, worship music, and anything to drive out the devil and welcome an infilling of the Holy Spirit.
The verse today mentions taking captive every thought to the obedience of Christ and that only happens when you are in tune with God and discipline your mind to not dwell on things from the past or the enemy trying to accuse, confuse, and lie to you.
Speak to the devil and tell him you belong to God and greater is He that is in you the man he that is in this world(1 John 4:4). Strongholds may attempt to bring you down but stand strong on the truth in God’s word and know you are strong because of God working in you.
PRAYER: Every breath I breathe I thank Jesus because of how he has worked in my life. I pray for the attraction to things of this world to die and for more of a peace and a hunger for the Lord. Lift up those I know who are bowed down, defeated, angry at God and set them free. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Read Ephesians chapter 6.
