WE HAVE POWER! POWER to HIS PEOPLE!
2 Corinthians 10:3For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. 4For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.
Just in case you are just joining us, this is the last installment ( I think) of this blog, and while we possess many powers beyond our own comprehension today's is no different. Yes we are flesh but GOD didn't leave us defenseless here to live a totally mild manored existence. He equipped us with the power to destroy strongholds, the ability to break away from those things that have or had us captive. WHY? Because there is a WAR going on, Ephesians makes this clear that it is not against flesh, but rather the dark spirits, and Paul even reminds the Church of Corinth that this power is very evident! Also we are reminded that Christ gave us the power to tread over scorpions and snakes....so as you approach today, everyday remember that we empowered by CHRIST to actually do greater things, but we have to submit to His Word, and be in His will to experience this in it's fullness. This is why certain people can just stop drinking or smoking "cold turkey" but yet struggle in their faith.
Let us RUN to be included in a community of Christ followers (church, small group, etc) so that we are not alone in this battle and that we may link arms with others, and their giftedness to ensure ourselves VICTORY over the powers of DARKNESS! It begins with LOVING GOD, and LOVING PEOPLE this is the greatest of POWERS & unlocks the others! BE BLESSED! LGLP
