The world is unprincipled. It’s dog-eat-dog out there! The world doesn’t fight fair. But we don’t live or fight our battles that way—never have and never will. The tools of our trade aren’t for marketing or manipulation, but they are for demolishing that entire massively corrupt culture. We use our powerful God-tools for smashing warped philosophies, tearing down barriers erected against the truth of God, fitting every loose thought and emotion and impulse into the structure of life shaped by Christ. Our tools are ready at hand for clearing the ground of every obstruction and building lives of obedience into maturity. —
2 Corinthians 10:3-6 (MSG)Our spiritual weapons are energized with divine power to effectively dismantle the defenses behind which people hide. We capture, like prisoners of war, every thought and arrogant attitude and insist that it bow in obedience to the Anointed One. (See 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 TPT) Let us use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to break down barriers and live lives shaped by obedience to Christ.
