2 Corinthians 10:3-4, “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds)”
When we go into battle with the powers of this world we need special weapons. In Ephesians 6:12 Paul tells us who our enemy is. “ For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Our battle is not a carnal battle it is spiritual and we need spiritual weapons with which to fight. Paul is telling us we are engaged in mortal combat with evil and powerful, but spiritual enemies. Our weapons are well-fashioned for the war we are to fight. We are to put on the whole armor of God; armor that has been battle tested and proven. Paul is telling us the weapons we are to use he has seen pull down the evil strong holds of the enemy.
In God’s Word we find all the weaponry we will need as we prepare to do battle with the army of Satan. The power found in His Word will carry us to victory. It will give us comfort and His grace will protect us.
It may appear as though evil is winning. Appearances are deceiving as they can be nothing more than a mirage. The devil would have us to believe we cannot win. God has other ideas. God has never lost a battle and He never will.
“Put on the whole armour of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” (Ephesians 10:11)
God’s Word accompanied by God’s Spirit, has the power to win the most important conflicts that are raging in your life right now. So pick up your Bible and get acquainted with its contents. Learn about the weapons you have at your disposal.
