“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)
In reading our scriptural text for today, verse 4 was placed there just for explanatory purposes; you are really supposed to just go directly from reading and gleaning the third verse to the fifth verse.
The word carnal is important because a carnal Christian is in crazy trouble. When you are carnal and you have not learned the rights you possess; then you say you are a Christian and yet, you have no idea on how to handle the fiery thoughts and other distraction tactics the enemy shoots at you- you place yourself straight in the midst of major trouble!
Strongholds are thoughts that are built-up in your mind to the point they become strong truths to you and your perception. Strongholds will hold you in sickness, in lack, in contrariness against somebody to where you do not want to forgive them. This is why verse 5 is extremely important and vital to our Christian walk, “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”.
Imaginations come through thoughts; they are not true! Anything that “…exalteth itself against the knowledge of God” cannot be truth; God’s knowledge and wisdom are the only true forms of truth that have or will ever exist! Notice in our text above that both strongholds and imaginations are plural. The enemy is very consistent and persistent at doing his job of trying to compound thought attacks into your mind.
I compel you to stand strong with supernatural boldness and full confidence! Know that you have the divine right and authority in Jesus name, by the power of His Word and Spirit, to pull down those thoughts and bring them into captivity. The enemy can’t stop you! He’s not strong enough to stop you; that’s why the Bible says in 1 John 4:4, “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than He that is in the world!”
I Am Fully Persuaded Apostle That I Shall Stand Strong Against The Fiery Attacks of the Enemy. I Am Unstoppable; Because the Greater One Is On the Inside of Me!
I’m so very blessed and thankful for this daily word I know this comes straight from the gift of the holy spirit’s inspiration and I am here to testify to the truth of these words, Christ lives!
Amen. Since I have been studying,confessing the Word, praying and walking in my The knowledge of my blood bought inheritance, satan has been trying to bombard me with so multitudes of thoughts to distract me, but he is a liar. This last two weeks even when I rise early to pray, the devil would bring all these crazy thoughts, but I took my authority and cast down every thought, imagination and suggestion and brought every thought into the obedience of Christ Jesus. The devil had to go because like you said “I cannot be stopped once I come into the knowledge of my rights and start taking my authority against satan and walking in the Spirit. The devil had no problem when I was going in circles and unable to activate my covenant blessings but now he knows that I know that I’m an heir to the promises of God and no devil or demon in hell can stop me. In Jesus Name Amen
Hallelujah!!!
I abide in Christ and His Word abides in me, th herefore I can ask what I will and it is done for me. I am translated out of darkness into the Kingdom if his Son. Because of his grace and love, mercy and truth I am unstoppable! Jesus Christ is Lord!
