“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfarre are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds)” (2 Corinthians 10:3-4).
The NIV Bible phrases today’s verses this way, “For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.”
The Living Bible paraphrases it this way: “It is true that I am an ordinary, weak human being, but I don’t use human plans and methods to win my battles. I use God’s mighty weapons, not those made by men, to knock down the devil’s strongholds.” We can’t fight fire with fire.
No matter what we face, we are going to have to fight with an open Bible on our knees. This combination will always make the devil tremble.
