Bible Verse of The Day – 4-28-23

2 Corinthians 10:4-5 (NKJV) 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,

God has given us every weapon we need to win the battles we face.

We must understand those weapons. And, just as important, we must understand our enemy!

We see the people who carry out the orders of the demons who have been given authority over specific regions (principalities). We don’t, however, see the spirits behind the actions of those people.

We get caught up in the people we can see.

We need, instead, to be focused on the spirits (demons) behind their actions.

This is where the battle really lies. This is where the war is won or lost.

It’s critical that we allow the Holy Spirit to show us the unseen.

This doesn’t mean that we will visibly see the spirits in action.

It simply means that we will see what’s behind the actions of the people who are carrying out the evil strategies of the principalities who have been given authority over those regions.

But when we allow the Holy Spirit to give us eyes to see and ears to hear, our perspective will change drastically.

We will no longer be like shadow boxers fighting the air. Instead, we will better understand what our target is, and we will be able to pray very specific prayers to help us defeat them.

So, in all our battles, we need to be sure to understand this one thing; we do not fight against flesh and blood.

Once we fully understand that, everything about our prayers and our perception will change.

Ephesians 6:12 (NKJV) 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
