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;
Understanding Christian warfare is very important as a believer. Though we are humans we are do not war against humans. Our battle is not against human beings. Our battle is spiritual. A great part of the battle is pulling down strong holds. What is the strong hold? We must allow the Bible to interpret itself. Many times in ignorance people use this verse to suggest that the strong hold refers to human enemies.
This can’t be so because the very verse 3 before verse 4 where we have strong hold already told you that we do not war after the flesh. Read the verses again in our main text above. The strong hold here refers to imaginations and thoughts against the knowledge of God. Infact thinking that the devil is strong is a strong hold itself. You will have to pull that down and bring it in subjection to the truth of God’s word.
Dear believer, do not allow any thinking pattern in your life contrary to God’s word. This can be a strong hold in your life . Allow the knowledge of God’s word to regulate your thinking patterns and actions. Drive out devils, exercise your authority over devils. Pray you be delivered continually from wicked and unreasonable men. Men may make themselves your enemies, never fight them. Insist to see them saved.
SPEAK BOLDLY I have power over devils.I do not fight human beings.I do not allow any thought pattern against God’s word.This day is BLESSED for me.I PRAY, I PREACH AND I DO THE WORD.
MEMORIZE AND MEDITATE 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;
