Today I want us to look at 2 Corinthians 10:5
We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ,
The language used here is militant, and specifically addresses spiritual warfare.
Now when some think of spiritual warfare it is not uncommon to think of examples of dealing with voodoo or witchcraft.
But, our enemy’s methods of warfare are crafty and we can find spiritual battles is much subtler places. Let me give some examples.
Spouses fighting over how to raise their children
Justifying a white lie to advance on the job
The speculations, lofty things, and every thoughts mentioned in this Scripture are mindsets of proud-filled wayward thinking that is leading people away from and keeping them in unhealthy relationships and/or activities that will continue to spiral into a life full of regrets.
And the only weaponry that we have to fight such strongholds is prayerful intercession, which will break these chains of sin while leading them towards the opportunity to receive Christ as their Lord and Savior
