Spiritual Weapons

Marsha’s meditation on Spiritual Weapons

Scripture:

For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.

2 Corinthians 10:3-4

Meditation:

We, as Christ followers, know that heaven is our home, but we are living on the earth. We live in this world for the time being and have to deal with the ways of this world. That being said, there are many struggles we have to face on a daily basis, but the battles we fight are not won with earthly weapons. We are fighting a spiritual war because we have God’s Spirit within us and the enemy, the devil, is trying to steal from us, kill us and destroy us. God’s Spirit gives us the power we need to stop the enemy from harming us. What weapons do we use against him? The Word of God, praises to God and the love of God are our best defenses. We just have to learn how to use them to stop the enemy. 

Prayer:

Dear God, we are so grateful that Your Spirit is alive and active in our lives. We give Your Spirit permission to use us and help us each day. Give us wisdom to know how and when to use the weapons You have given us to stop the enemy in his tracks. Be glorified in the lives of Your children as we wage war against the devil in this world. Amen
