2 Corinthians 10:4 the weapons we fight with are not the weapons
of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the
knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to
Christ.
The Lord
showed me several years ago that the reason I struggle with sin (namely porn
and lust) is because I don’t use all of the tools he has provided me with. What are the tools? Worship, prayer, the word, relationships and
one more 2 Cor. 10:5.
Yesterday
as I was sitting at my desk working, it came on me. The want the need however you want to look at
it. I was on the road for a big
fall. How did I get there? Sneak attack, I was not doing anything wrong. In my mind it was a blatant attack by the
enemy. All of the sudden the images and
thoughts were there. I will give the
enemy credit for this one.
I was
terrified. I know who I am and I am not
that person anymore. I sent out a text to my wife and a friend to
pray. Neither could talk. I had worship playing in the back
ground. I begin to pray and quote scripture
and I read in the word. I did 2 Cor 10:5. I took the thoughts captive. What happened next was extraordinary. I laid back in my chair and turned up the
worship music. I got still and just
worshiped Him. I don’t know how much
time went by …. Not long maybe 7 minutes.
I knew it was over. I opened my eyes and the attack was over and the
feelings I had were gone and they did not come back. I went on the rest of the day and remained at
my desk and finished my work. Thank you Jesus!
I did them all
Worship, the word, prayer, relationships and 2 cor. 10:5
Radical obedience always
precedes the miraculous.
