War a Good Warfare

2Co 10:3  For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:

2Co 10:4  (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)

2Co 10:5  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

The weapons of our warfare.

Weapons- not physical.

Weapons- mighty through God- mighty enough to pull down strong holds.

Weapons- not physical.

Weapons- that can cast down imaginations.

Eph 6:15  And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

Eph 6:16  Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

1Pe 1:22  Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:

1Pe 1:24  For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:

1Pe 1:25  But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

Obeying the TRUTH THROUGH the SPIRIT- to UNFEIGNED LOVE of others.

Born again by the WORD of GOD.

Man withers away, God is forever and only though God do we have hope found in the gospel of truth.

Truly we do NOT war after the flesh.  The spiritual warfare is the true fight.

May God bless us and keep us IN HIM as we war!

Help us, keep us, know us!

By YOUR GRACE!
