Are You Ready for War?

2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (New King James Version)

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

Have you ever talked to a new Believer only to have them cry in your arms as they try to figure out WHY they are suddenly going through this or that? I have....and my heart breaks every time, not because they are experiencing some fierce opposition, but because they didn't expect or prepare for war.
As a Believer how do you wage a good warfare? Preparation!! For me it amounts to quality time studying, praying, fasting, patience, and worship. Victory is assured when we fight according to God's instructions no matter how long or short the battle rages. Also when engaging the enemy we have to be intentional, diligent, and vigilant to cast down arguments of doubt, fear, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. We all know the battlefield is the mind, so if we keep our thoughts in check and obedient to Christ we wage a better warfare. Instead of feeding on the deadly thoughts and arguments of the enemy we cast them down!!! Why? So we can respond in faith, glorify Christ, all the while being in a better position to be lead by the Spirit instead of being driven, trying to fight in the flesh.

God promises us in His Word that He will always cause us to triumph in Christ Jesus. As we engage in warfare His way, with His weapons and strategies... we pull down strongholds, advance, and take territory for our King! More than conquerors, kings and priests unto God....THAT's who we are. No longer does any Believer need to ask "why" better to say "why not" and fight victoriously to the glory of God.
