He gave us powerful weapons!

My dear fellow believer, God has given us the greatest weapons of warfare. Our weapons are not like what you see in the military. Those are powerful physical weapons that help to keep our borders safe today. Our weapons are divinely powerful. They help us to destroy arguments and philosophies that have set themselves against the knowledge of God. Our weapons can destroy mindsets of destruction in families and communities. They can help people come out of darkness to the saving knowledge of Christ. We have His Spirit. We have the mind of Christ. We have the gifts of His Spirit. We have the fruits of the Spirit. We have revelation knowledge by His Spirit. We have His grace and favor every day. We need to begin to engage our weapons of warfare instead of depending on worldly wisdom.  Worldly wisdom will only lead you to pride and arrogance, and will separate you from God’s wisdom and love. Understand this, no wisdom of the world can compare to God’s wisdom. God created the Heavens and the Earth. The worldly wisdom will only try to imitate God. Satan doesn’t create anything. He only copies and deceives. Which wisdom will you embrace?

2 Corinthians 10: 4,5 (AMP)The weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood]. Our weapons are divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying sophisticated arguments and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought and purpose captive to the obedience of Christ,”

This “rod” will beat them in the future!

When we are young, we boast of great things. We speak what’s on our minds. We express things we know nothing about. The pride of youthful strength and beauty permeates everything we do. However, in many cases, this comes back to “bite” us in the future. Right now in our nation, we can see how things people said or did in the past have come back to haunt them. In some cases, peoples’ character and legacy have been destroyed by something they said or did in the past. Proverbs 14:3 (NLT) says: “A fool’s proud talk becomes a rod that beats himbut the words of the wise keep them safe.” Your words can become a “rod” that will beat you in the future if you are not careful and discerning. Psalms 141:3 (AMP) says: “Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips [to keep me from speaking thoughtlessly].” Especially today, we need to daily pray that prayer. Everything we say is recorded, whether on email, text, video or audio recordings. Be like the wise person who sets a guard over their mouth. It will keep you safe, even in the midst of personal attacks or misunderstandings. Selah!

Proverbs 14:3 (NLT) “A fool’s proud talk becomes a rod that beats himbut the words of the wise keep them safe.”
