Wage War

2 Corinthians 7-10 

“For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 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 10:3-5

Are we aware of our spiritual weapons and how to use them?

Are we aware of the spiritual warfare we find ourselves in as those following Jesus in his mission?

Paul described Satan’s deception as coming as an “angel of light” (2 Corinthians 11:14) with servants masquerading as “servants of righteousness” (2 Corinthians 11:15), but who serve Satan.

Has this level of spiritual warfare against the Church ceased, or are we naïve?

However, the primary battlefront is in the mind as we identify and resist thoughts and thought- constructs which oppose the truth of Christ. Our authority is in Christ to resist lies, accusations and attacks in the name of Jesus and the Word of God.

Are we waging war, or are we playing church?

“Lord Jesus, I will stand for truth, for your glory.”
