Understanding 2 Corinthians 10:4

Today's verse comes from 2 Corinthians chapter 10 verse 4.
"For our weapons of warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds,"

What that means is that God has given us weapons that we cannot see to fight spiritual wickedness in heavenly places. It is not by our might that these weapons defeat this wickedness. It is through God. Zechariah 4 verse 6 says:
It is not by might or power but by the Spirit of the Lord.
2 Chronicles 20:15 says that the battle is not ours but God's. God fights the battle for us through our weapons! Now I know what you may be thinking, what weapons? God gives us a battle plan in Ephesians 6:10-17 of His full Armour. With this armour, we can defeat spiritual beings! It is by God's power that this armour can defeat Satan and his demons! Not by might or power but by the spirit of God!

Revere Christ as Lord!

"But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect." - 1 Peter 3:15. Whenever we are being trialled or tested for our faith, we should never deny it. Take the opportunity to tell them about God. Preach to them and give them the chance to hear about God. It may work, it may not. But all you know is, you accomplished your part of the mission. You've preached to them. Now it's there decision to come to Christ. Notice the Bible says do it with GENTLENESS. We don't use violence to try and preach the Gospel. We don't force people to believe in our reality. We use one of the fruit of the spirit (See Galatians 5:22 for a full list) Now you may wonder why Peter says 'with respect' when God says: "Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:" - Acts 10:34.

Most Powerful

8 I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. (‭Psalms‬ ‭16‬:‭8‬ KJV) In this verse, David is actually having a revelation about Jesus from the Holy Ghost. Let me explain. You see- as Christians, Jesus is the one who is before us. The One we follow. He is at our right hand and protects us. And because of Him, we are not moved. The Lord is you Leader, Provider and Guide. Without him, your steps would be without guide and you would have no knowledge of the path you are taking. You would be vulnerable to Satan and he will be able to destroy you. But-thank God- he can't destroy us. Christ lives in us, the most powerful Thing ever!
