About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

USE YOUR SPIRITUAL WEAPONS
USE YOUR SPIRITUAL WEAPONS
THIS MORNING I WANT TO TALK ABOUT 2ND CORINTHIANS 10:4-5 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.
THESE ARE REALLY POWERFUL WORDS. IT SAYS WE ARE IN A WAR. WE SHOULD ALWAYS BE FIGHTING AGAINST THE DEVIL. HOWEVER, OUR WEAPONS HAVE TO BE SPIRITUAL AND TO USE THEM WE MUST RELY ON THE HOLY SPIRIT. THEN, AND ONLY THEN, CAN WE PULL DOWN SATAN'S STRONG HOLDS. THOSE HOLDS MIGHT BE ON YOUR HEALTH, YOUR FINANCES OR YOUR PEACE. HE CAN BE DEFEATED. WE JUST HAVE TO USE THE RIGHT WEAPONS.
SINCE THE BIBLE WAS INSPIRED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT AND IT IS A POWERFUL WEAPON TO USE. JESUS USED IT IN DEFEATING SATAN WHEN HE WAS TEMPTED. WHEN SATAN WOULD TEMPT HIM WITH SOMETHING, JESUS WOULD SAY "IT IS WRITTEN" AND THAT WOULD STOP SATAN IN HIS TRACKS. WE CAN DO THE SAME THING. WE JUST HAVE TO BELIEVE AND HAVE FAITH THAT GOD'S WORD IS TRUE AND WILL WORK FOR US. THAT IS WHEN IT BECOMES A WEAPON FOR US.
WE MUST CAST DOWN ALL IMAGINATIONS THAT EXALTS ITSELF AGAINST GOD'S KNOWLEDGE. THIS IS IN THE MIND. SATAN WILL PUT THINGS IN FRONT OF US TO TEMPT US AND THOUGHTS WILL COME INTO OUR MINDS THAT SHOULDN'T BE THERE. THE THING WE HAVE TO DO IS TO GET RID OF THEM BEFORE THEY TAKE ROOT AND WE ACT UPON WHAT WE WERE THINKING. AS I HAVE SAID BEFORE, IF YOU PUT SOMETHING IN YOUR MOUTH THAT IS BAD AND IT DOES NOT TASTE GOOD, YOU SPIT IT OUT AND DO NOT SWALLOW IT AND GET SICK. THE SAME IS WITH THOSE THOUGHTS. THEY MIGHT COME INTO YOUR MIND AND YOU WILL KNOW WHETHER THEY ARE GOOD OR BAD AND IF THEY ARE BAD, SPIT THEM OUT. DON'T TAKE THEM INTO YOUR SPIRIT AND GET SICK. I HAVE SAID THIS BEFORE THAT WHEN I THINK OF SOMETHING I SHOULDN'T, I SAY OUT LOUD A SCRIPTURE I KNOW. YOU CAN'T BE TEMPTED WITH SOMETHING YOU DON'T THINK ABOUT AND QUOTING THE BIBLE DOES IT FOR ME AND I THANK JESUS FOR BRINGING IT TO MY MIND. HE WILL DO THE SAME FOR YOU.
PHILIPPIANS 4:8 GIVES US SOME GREAT INSTRUCTIONS, "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." THINKING ON THESE WILL NOT ALLOW US TO THINK OF THINGS THAT ARE BAD. I LIKE THE NEXT VERSE ALSO. IT IS VERSE 9 AND IT SAYS "Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you." I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT I WANT THE GOD OF PEACE TO BE WITH ME.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
