Wielding A Weapon

Many believers today have heard scriptures about weapons used in spiritual warfare.

2 Corinthians 10:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)

Also for many, the context of this scripture has slipped from memory. It speaks of the power of our mind to bring to pass what is in our minds.

2 Corinthians 10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

Often I have thought that this scripture was referring to the improper thoughts that most of us would associate with sin. Actually, while it does include those thoughts, it also includes any thought that results in some type of exaltation of anything but knowing God – like how good we are at something, what we have done, what science is doing of its own power, etc. All of these thoughts leave out the true source of power – our Father, Yahuah (Lord).

We can win against our spiritual enemies. To do so requires us to surrender our hearts and minds (including our thoughts) to our Father.

Today, let’s focus our thoughts on Him, and ask what He would have done today.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your will be done in this earth, just as it appears in the heavens. Send us today Your overwhelming provision, such that it overflows to those around us. Forgive us our transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have transgressed against us. Cleanse and heal our hearts and minds. Help us Father. We need You. We need to be more like You. There are so many temptations and evil that can beset us. Deliver us from these. Rise up, my King, and restore one hundredfold all that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
