The Lord is holy.
And the spiritual weapons of war that he gave us are holy too.
These weapons of protection and of spiritual advancement are from a God who is a Master Strategist, and Military Commander. From a Father that did not leave us defenseless.
The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, not made from man made materials, but are spiritual weapons that are made for the pulling down of strong holds, fortify demonic positions of the heart. Those arguments of the soul, by human reasoning, that have become castles.
These strongholds are both within and without, and it is by taking up a military campaign against a flesh rule life that we can advance the Kingdom of God, which is the rule of God within us.
As we liken this contest to a military service we step into a apostolic warfare and lifestyle.Which is to contend against the carnal traits of our lives, so that we will not be governed by mere human nature but by the spirit of God. And it is this human nature that we battle against, isn't it? And it is there in the soul of a man that we rely (which in it self is a interesting word / RE- LIE) on faulty opinions, arguments of the mind, reasonings, fortify opinions that keep getting stronger as we defend that belief.
When we do this the thoughts becomes full of demonic activity. Imaginations and high things began to invade that mind, and that person, man or women, actually begins to take a starch position against God and His word.
And it is all because we knew something, was taught something or experience something that has no base in the scriptures. And we start exchanging knowing God for the knowledge about God.
This is when the enemy relies on the pride fullness of our heart, and temps us to lay aside the very best that the Father has for us, righteousness, joy, and peace. How we react to the everyday challenges of our lives and keep God alive in our hearts is the trick.
So how do we keep from lashing out to others, not taking revenge in our own hands? How do we keep our family in tack after our spouse was in a adulterous affair? How do we keep our sanity when our sons and daughters are caught up in porn, or drugs use, what do we do when the enemy comes like a flood and we can't even catch our breath?.......listen to this, my friend for there is hope.
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, we do not have to rely on our flesh nature to get us out of jams, but they are mighty, and can influence impossible situations, they excel in power and will cause you to bear calamities and trials with fortitude and patience, they are full of wealth and influential in destroying and pulling down strong holds.
And we wage war by casting down imaginations, mental concepts that are not base on the word of God, and every high thing that exalteh itself against the truth of God. We take authority over every loose thought and emotion and impulse and bring them into the structure of life call the Kingdom.
To rely on fixing our lives by the old way of doing things is a waste of time, we only became a enemy of the state when we do it our way. Divorce is not the answer, killing your self is not the answer, hanging someone is not the answers, The Answer is Jesus Christ and the ways of a mighty God, who have for centuries forgave men and straighten out the crooked places they have forge in their ignorance. Together we can take a stand against the false apostle, Satan the father of lies and regain our true inheritance back thought Christ. And this we will do if God permits
