Weapons of our Warfare I

June 3

Text: II Cor.10:1-6 More Lessons: Eph.6:12

Our text today is about the weapons of our warfare. It says that they are not carnal, meaning they are not physical things that the physical eyes can see. However, they are mighty through God to pull down any stronghold - a fortified place or a fortress, safe for the owner and difficult to attack. It is a place where a man feels secure in the time of the enemy's attack. During warfare, once soldiers are able to get to their stronghold, either on the mountain or  thick bush, it becomes very difficult to dislodge them.

Our text says the enemy has a stronghold where he hides to launch his attacks and not until an enemy's stronghold is destroyed he cannot be defeated. However, it is exciting to know that our weapons can destroy any enemy's stronghold. This is the location of strength of Christians. This is why we can boldly speak of victory over any trouble of life. Yet this victory is only for the children of God who know it and use it.

The most important thing to note about these weapons is that they are spiritual; they are not physical or material, they are not loud or noisy, but the impacts are great, greater than any ballistic missile or atomic bomb.  They are fast and irresistible. Nothing can counter them  and they are forever impossible for the enemy.

Another important thing about these weapons is the fact that they only work through God. Jehovah God is the only gun through which these bullets can be fired. They will not work for  a carnal man or sinner, only spiritual people can enjoy them. So, if you are in the flesh, fornicating, lying, stealing, fighting, gossiping, you can't benefit from these weapons. Receive Christ as your Saviour and  these weapons will be yours.

Prayer/Action
* Declare that there shall be no hiding place for the enemies of your life.
* Decree that every stronghold giving cover and strength to your enemy should be destroyed by fire today.
* Ask that as you use the weapons of God you will not miss the enemy’s stronghold, in the mighty name of Jesus.
