Your enemy isn't the flesh...!

II Corinthians 10:3-6 NKJV

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, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.

Shalom! Day #11. Do you know that as a believer, though we walk in the flesh but we do not war according to flesh? Father,  as we engaged into spiritual warfare, help us overcome every strongholds,  every principalities of the darkness. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

I would like to start up today's devotion from this verse from Ephesians 6:12 NKJV 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. We should know this biblical truth. Folks, we are not fighting against flesh, but the power of darkness. Though we walk in the flesh, yet we shouldn't give in to the flesh.  Every fleshy desires, every fleshy war are all against the Spirit that's in us. We are not fighting against our brethren, our parents, friends, but the power of darkness that's working through them.

Yet, do not lose heart because we are not fighting it with our carnal minds but in the mighty power of God. 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, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.  The power of God is able to put down every power and principalities of the darkness under your feet. So remember this always, that you are not into arguments with human, but the power of darkness that's working through them. Fight it with the power of God, the mighty name of Jesus!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
