Spiritual Warriors

Spiritual warriors

2 Corinthians 10:1-6, “ ¹ Now I, Paul, myself am pleading with you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ—who in presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you. ² But I beg you that when I am present I may not be bold with that confidence by which I intend to be bold against some, who think of us as if we walked according to the flesh. ³ For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. ⁴ For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, ⁵ casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, ⁶ and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.”

I wanted to remind you that we are always in a constant battle for our lives and those we love. If we are walking with God we need to understand the power that is available to us if we are just willing to call upon it. Now it’s not like the power you might see if you were a cartoon superhero. If you remember the Justice League there was a set of twins’ a brother and sister they had super power but often they ended up in more trouble from them than it ever really helped them. That was because they never knew really how to use it. Are power from God is very similar it is always present but because we fail to practice it and apply it in our own lives we are unable to use it for the good of others. I have begun to really understand the phrase, “Ministry Starts at Home” for us a Christians to be effective we must be practicing what we believe.  That means prayer, bible reading, fasting and fellowship as we develop some of those spiritual and physical patterns in our life we will become the warriors that God has called us to be and in His power we will be equipped to pull down our own strongholds and also those around us. This will allow you to lead them into a relationship that is not just a Sunday morning thing but a life changing relationship with Jesus Christ. Praying God bless your every step today.
