Or have you forgot we’re at war...

              This one is about the somewhat casual manner Christians tend to take towards the fight for their soul or the souls of others. I simply want to remind us all that THIS IS A WAR! Granted we have already won, but only if we adhere to the strategies and weapons established and left behind by Jesus.

2 Timothy 2:3

“thou therefore endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ”

From this scripture I wanna point out that there will be HARD TIMES when you are in the body of Christ. But this is part of war. Second, as my pastor pointed out recently, the reference to a soldier in this scripture should bring to mind the idea of someone who has been trained and is disciplined to follow orders!

2 Corinth 10:3-4

“for though we walk in the flesh we do not war after the flesh: ⁴ (for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds)”

These scriptures help us identify that we are not fighting with people, but rather the spirit, mindset or ideas that are possessing the people and blocking them out of freedom and knowledge and truth. Well maybe it don’t tell us all that but I’m trying to keep this short lol Another important aspect is that the description of the weapons we DON’T use. There are carnal weapons, and indeed we could use them, but they won’t be about the result we are seeking (the pulling down of strongholds).

In closing remember the valuable prize that is on the line during this war. The devil is after the souls of the lost, and our connection to God by faith. Be careful of what you entertain and the effects it could have, the enemy doesn’t take any breaks and SPECIALIZES in subtly But above all, don’t be scared just prayerful and vigilant.
