“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 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” (2 Corinthians 10:3-5).
I Thank and Praise you Lord God!
Because I am your child, I have the mind of Christ! You have given me your Holy Spirit so I may know those things taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words. You give me thoughts that are not my own. You give wisdom and understanding; beyond human reasoning. You teach me how to stand strong in the faith. Because of Jesus Christ in me I can walk in the fullness of your Holy Spirit. I can walk about in freedom, for I have sought out your precepts.
You have given me the armor of God; weapons of warfare to fight the enemy. “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; 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” (2 Corinthians 10:3-5).
My Child,
Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. This is how you put on the armor: Put on the Belt of Truth. Stand firm in the Truth of My Word so you will not succumb to the lies of the enemy.
Put on the Breastplate of Righteousness. You are the Righteousness of Christ. You need your mind and emotions to be protected by pursuing after righteousness, holiness, and peace. “Be ye holy for I am Holy.”
Put on the Sandals of Peace. You carry Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, in you. When you go into places that are chaotic, because of His peace, you can speak peace, and bring a calm with your words, and your attitudes. Be a “Life Speaker” speaking Words of truth, health, healing, faith, hope, life.
Your Salvation is sure and saves you from the penalty of sin. It also saves you from the power of sin. Put on the Helmet of Salvation. Bring each and every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.
Hold up the Shield of Faith, applying all you know to be true about Me to each and every situation at hand. Remember, I am Sovereign, Lord, Ruler, and King. No matter how things look. I am in control. I see. I know what is going on in your life. Nothing escapes my notice. Look to me. Trust and Obey.
My Word is your Sword. It is the Sword of the Spirit. Wield it wisely in the Power of the Holy Spirit. It is like a hammer. It breaks apart. It dashes the enemy to pieces. Hide My Word and it’s truths in your heart. When My Word is in you the Holy Spirit will bring it to the forefront of your mind to strengthen and steady you. My Word will teach, equip, and empower you. My Word has everything you need to pertaining to life and godliness.
Pray always; about everything. Pray my Word. Sing My Word. Speak it out loud. Believe it! Declare it! Proclaim it! Meditate on My Words for they are LIFE to those who find them.
