We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ. 2 Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭5‬

We are at war!

This war isn’t going to destroy any buildings. This war won’t see the killing of innocent women and children. This war isn’t over borders and boundaries. This war is far more destructive, yet not really seen by anyone, although everyone may see the results.

This war is in the heart and mind of every person on earth. It’s the battle between faith and fear. It’s the battle between believing and doubting. It’s the battle between positivity and negativity. It’s the battle between love and hate. It’s the battle between fidelity and infidelity. It’s the battle between integrity and dishonesty.

This war is fought and won in the mind and its result depends on who you listen to. The voice that seems to be loudest is the voice of pride and the weapons used are our own strength, our own feelings, our own emotions.

The quieter voice is the voice of God calling us to Himself. God doesn’t just call those who have faith, in fact, He’s more likely to call those to Himself that have no faith.

People aren’t won to God through fancy programs or amazing orators. They are simply tools used by God to bring us into relationship with him.

Only through Holy Spirit do we have the power to overcome. We do this by aligning our thoughts with God’s truth and focusing on His promises. When we do this we can defeat the enemy’s lies and find true freedom.

When we surrender our minds to Christ daily, allowing His Word to renew our thinking and guide our actions, we will not only experience the peace and victory that comes from trusting in Him, others will be drawn to the same peace we have.
