Weapons of War

2 Corinthians 10:4-5 WNT
(4) The weapons with which we fight are not human weapons, but are mighty for God in overthrowing strong fortresses.
(5) For we overthrow arrogant 'reckonings,' and every stronghold that towers high in defiance of the knowledge of God, and we carry off every thought as if into slavery--into subjection to Christ

We are in spiritual warfare!! And have an enemy that is ever waiting to take advantage of us every time we are not vigilant or alert of His tactics. But yet God has given us weapons that are God-empowered, God-ordained, mighty in God and for God to pull down and overthrow every attack of the adversary.

The Battlefield is in our minds and we need to develop an effective strategy to overcome every suggestion of the devil in the area of our thought life. The veil that darkens our minds must be pulled down and every thought brought to captive, taken prisoner to the Message of the Gospel of Christ.

The scriptures identify the attack on our thought life as evil spiritual personalities and He call them “Strongholds”. Stronghold can be defined as anything that the devil uses to keep in bondage in any area of your life. Temptation, disease, demonic oppression... may be strongholds. There may be strongholds in your marriage, your relationship and every stronghold in your finances.

The apostle Paul encourages us inspite of the reality of these strongholds, to pull down, overthrow, and fling downcast down... every stronghold that towers high in defiance of the knowledge of God.

God is restoring to the church, weapons that is lost due to lack of clear teaching. back to the church. As these weaponry of war are restored the ecclesia, the called out ones-the Church of Jesus Christ will tear down the fortresses that holds us back the full benefit of our redemption and be a blessing to the world.
