Paul stated, “ For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds ” (2 Corinthians 10:4, NKJV
Being a born again Christian. Does it mean you're perfect? Absolutely not. God say to live holy. Absolutely. Apostle Paul said he ends up doing the things that he doesn't want to do. The Bible says that man is not tempted beyond what is common to him and God is not tempting him. So what is tempting him? Well we can blame everything on Satan and a world that we cannot see that is wicked in spiritual fornication and all sorts of evils. We could apply human logic to it. All we have to do is look at the things as that Christ taught and revealed. Also the word of God is clear when you understand it. It is written by his stripes we are healed. It is also written shall grace abound. The power of life and death is in the tongue. The gospel says that there is not even one who is good. Only God is good and God is in heaven. God tells us through his Saints or his prophets that there is none good and there is none that understands. We are told to love nothing in this world for what is in the world is not of God. That's true but humans cannot fully comprehend what that means. Just like you have traffic laws when you drive your car there are spiritual laws. And if you can see the damage that you do when you break them and if you can see your soul descending into a fire that is never quenched then perhaps you could have a little bit of understanding. My sister in Christ said that she finds herself doing the things that she doesn't want to do just like apostle Peter. Its true there's not one who is perfectly righteous but we are still called to holiness. The Bible tells us to renew our minds. You could pray for each other. But we also live in a physical world and we are spiritual beings. The Bible tells us to bring every thought into captivity. We are not to exalt ourselves highly. We are still to live for Christ. We have to crucify the flesh. We have to see through the eyes of the living God. Our focus should not be on vanity of the world. It should be on spiritual things of God. Lean not on your own understanding. Sometimes in life as being younger I had teachers that would teach in teaching and I learned nothing. Then I met a teacher with a talent in teaching and I just excelled. So people are giving certain gifts. Some people are given to understand and some are not. God tells us that a friend of the world is enmity with him. You wonder why. I put life in death before you choose life. Most people in the world everyday chooses death. To live in the spirit instead of the flesh is life. Look at the comedians how they make fun of things with their tongues that are toxic. They are swimming in sin so strong that it will send them straight to hell one day. You have to really take every thought into captivity. You have to cast down strongholds. That's right strongholds because when you are weak that is when you become strong.
After Notes: " In this context, pulling down strongholds refers to demolishing walls of resistance in people’s minds ." This could pertain to various things even apostle ship. I think you need to remember who you are in Christ Jesus and you need to to exercise your Spiritual Authority. Not to be greater than anyone else but to pick up your cross daily. I had a friend who had a strong mind once. Now I don't encourage gambling. With a couple of dollars he would say I'm going to go play pool and I'm going to make us a whole ton of money so we can go out tonight and have a good time. We were young people. And he did it. When he put his mind to something he was incredible. They say we only use so much percent of our minds. And Christ said a man who looks back is not fit for the kingdom of God. Christ tested the faith of the Apostles often. So With God all things are possible and if he is for us who can be against us. When we are weak we are strong. So we really do have the power to overcome especially being grafted into the body of Christ. You have it in you to overcome but you have to believe it and use it and do it.
