Winning the Battle by Our Weapons of War

[2 Corinthians 10:2‭-‬6 KJV]”But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh. 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;) 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; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled“

The Bible teaches that we are not fighting in this spiritual battle empty handed; we indeed have weapons which are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds; casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalt itself against the knowledge of God; and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. We really have weapons that are not carnal but mighty through God.

What then are these weapons? Revelation 12:7-12¹ teaches us of three effective weapons;

1. The blood of Jesus Christ.
2. The word of our testimony.
3. Not loving our lives even unto death.

The devil has however designed three effective weapons to neutralise the efficacy of these weapons. They are sin, accusation, and intimidation.

We can overcome darkness when we employ these weapons against darkness. We must walk in righteousness, have a lifestyle of testifying, and be open to all possibilities. The devil uses weapons of sin, accusations, and fear to neutralise our effectiveness.

You will not fail; we will win when we walk in this reality. We have weapons; real spiritual weapons. These weapons are effective; when properly engaged.

Be blessed, I love you.

1. Revelation 12:7-12 (KJV): And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. ↩︎
