Girlfriends, we know that the thoughts we dwell on are critical. Our thoughts form our beliefs and what we believe is what we behave. So we must be very careful to not only guard what goes into our minds but also to root out the wrong beliefs that are already in there. Let us fervently pray that “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” 2 Corinthians 10:5. We will wage war on the lies that threaten to destroy our children and ourselves and “though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but divinely powered for the destruction of fortresses.” 2 Corinthians 10:3,4
Weapons. What are our weapons? There are two of them. We find them in Ephesians 6:17,18 - “and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. With all prayer and petition, pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints.” Two weapons. God’s Word and prayer. That’s what we are doing this month, my sisters. Waging war with divinely powered weapons - prayer and God’s Word.
