2 Corinthians 10:4-5 (New International Version) The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
Our battles are in the spiritual realm with our greatest battle being within our own minds. We must take captive every thought and submit it to the Lord. We do this by reading the Word of God, prayer and praise. When we read both silently and aloud, we plant the very words of God in our thoughts, training ourselves for battles. By speaking the words we speak life and power and release Heaven to do God’s will. When we read we learn the personality of God and who we need to become. When we pray we are not just talking to God but we listen to Him as well. When we praise we break strongholds and the powers of hell flee, they cannot be where the presence of God is and God inhabits the praise of His people. So today take the Word of God hide it in your heart, take time to talk to God and LISTEN to Him, and don’t forget to get your praise on, He deserves it and you need it.
Love and God Bless,
