Pulling down stronghold

Text: 2 Corinthians 10:4 (KJV)

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds.

Friends, there are battle beyond the physical which takes place in the realm of the supernatural. As believers, we all pass through battles but they are not physical that is why we cannot use our carnal mind to fight such battles rather we should engage the weapons of our God as they are mighty to save and to deliver. Luke 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. So, these weapons are not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces, deceptive thoughts, and mental barriers that exalt themselves against the knowledge of God. We should not allow the enemy to take hold of our minds but identify the stronghold which can be unique to individuals. Hence, we use spiritual weapons to tear down strongholds and reclaim our freedom. Eph 6:10-12 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Amazingly, these barriers can take the form of fear, unbelief, pride, addiction, or negative thinking patterns that keep one bound. But, we must allow God to lead us as we journey in life. Col.2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Therefore, the weapon to pull them down is not in physical strength, but spiritual authority through God’s Word, prayer, and obedience as He make a show of them all openly. I pray we shall not allow the enemy to take hold of our minds with lies but renew our minds daily by His weapon in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT: 

Father, transform our minds for a victorious living by building our faith through the weapon of God’s word in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember to pull down stronghold of fear opposing the truth of God’s word.
