The Immortal Weapons

Hello steemians welcome to my blog today

source

"For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after 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; KJV)

Four (4) critical things to note here are:

1. Though we walk in the flesh or as mortal beings, we do not war or fight after or against the flesh or mortals. That's why the Bible has to come plain to us, that, though we are carnal beings (as though physical beings which can be seen), the weapons (not one) of our warfare with which we fight, are not carnal, i.e. physical or that, which can be seen; because we do not war or fight after or against carnal beings that are seen physically! Actually, we wrestle not against flesh and blood, carnal or physical beings, but against immortal beings that are not seen with the physical eyes, which are: principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world, spiritual wickedness in high places (Ephesians 6:12)

2. These Immortal beings, that we fight against, as earlier mentioned, including strong holds and the rest, have one singular target, which is, to exalt themselves against the true knowledge of the living God! They are not after me as an individual, but the true knowledge of God and the consciousness of His person in me!

3. Another critical thing to note here also, is that, these weapons (more than one), which are not carnal or physical, which are divinely designed or arranged to pull down strong holds, cast down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and which will bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; are actually mighty through God! The meaning of this, is that, the mighty-ness, how efficient or effective and how powerful these weapons(not one) will be, is totally depending or dependent on God (i.e. mighty through God) or His Word as it were in John 1:1! And if it's not through God or God's word, then, it's not mighty! Hence, by implication, only the word of God or God Himself carries the basic propensity to reveal or give to me, all the weapons, as it were, that I need, to conquer these immortal beings that exalts themselves against the knowledge of God in my life, if only, I will search THROUGH His word! The correct weapons of warfare are not carnal and are not anywhere else; but are kept in the living word of God: only patient searchers or seekers will find them!

4. And finally, all, that these weapons found in the living word of God will do is nothing, than to bring all those immortal beings, as it were, that have exaltets themselves high, against the knowledge of God in my life, home, family, church, society, ministry, carrier, etc. to the obedience of Christ! The target is to subject all, to Christ or his obedience, to the glory of God the Father! (Philippians 2:9-11)

O Lord, that you will help me to walk in this understanding, that, all I need in my entire or whole life, is nothing else, than the living word of God. And that, you will help me to by faith understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear; and always knowing, that, all things were made by you O Lord, and without you was not anything made that was made. Amen.

Shalom!
