Bible Verse of The Day – 3-25-22

2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (NKJV) 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…

Referring to Christians as warriors is a common theme in the New Testament. And rightly so. As believers we are obligated to wage war on the enemies of God.

And as we have stated many times in past devotionals and videos, our enemies are not fleshly (people). They are spiritual (evil spirits, demons, etc.).

As such, our weapons of war are not carnal (of the flesh). They are also spiritual.

These weapons are mighty for pulling down strongholds.

What is a stronghold?

It is a fortress, bunker, tower garrison or other type of fortified place that is designed to be impenetrable or very hard to break into.

Paul used this word because the people of Corinth were familiar with it. Corinth had a fortress in which people of the city could take refuge in times of great danger.

You see, the (spiritual) weapons that God has supplied us with are mighty. So mighty, in fact, that they can be used to pull down those strongholds that the enemy may choose to hide in.

And powerful enough to cast down every argument and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God.

So, what is this weapon that is so powerful; powerful enough to crush the enemy?

It is the truth of God’s word.

No other weapon is so strong as to have the power to crush the enemies of God.

Truth will annihilate lies every time the two are brought face to face.

Lies cannot negate truth. No matter what a liar says, it does not change truth. It only tries to mask it.

But the truth is so powerful, it will cause evil (lies) to run and hide in an attempt to stay out of the light that truth shines.

This is our battle; to assault error (lies, mistruth, falsehoods, etc.) with truth.

And it is this truth that renders the enemy, his minions and his strongholds powerless and ineffective.

Be mighty warriors in this eternal battle between truth and lies!
