"The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds." 2 Corinthians 10:4
Spiritual battles require spiritual weapons. Where our enemy, the devil, is at work fleshly reasoning and struggling will not prevail. When the disciples failed to cast out an evil spirit, Jesus said, "This kind can come out only by prayer" (Mark 9:29). We cannot win our battles or take others captive for Christ by human reason and strength. We must employ spiritual weapons such as prayer, Scripture, and faith to win the battle.
Father, open my eyes to recognize the spiritual battle that daily rages around me. Teach me to rely not on the flesh but Spirit-empowered weapons to wage and win the fight.
I'm praying for you.

Pastor Mark,
ReplyDeleteThanks again for your insight and encouragement through the word of God. As we see our nation being stripped of it,s moral anchor it becomes clear to me that we are indeed in a spiritual battle that will take the power of our almighty Savior to stand. When and hear the raging of evil men and see the all out attack on God our Saviour I sometimes get frightened and weary but when I hear and read Gods word and pray my faith in Him is renewed. God bless you and your family as we all fight the good fight of faith. Love in Christ Francie
