📖 The world is unprincipled. It’s dog-eat-dog out there! The world doesn’t fight fair. But we don’t live or fight our battles that way—never have and never will. The tools of our trade aren’t for marketing or manipulation, but they are for demolishing that entire massively corrupt culture. We use our powerful God-tools for smashing warped philosophies, tearing down barriers erected against the truth of God, fitting every loose thought and emotion and impulse into the structure of life shaped by Christ. Our tools are ready at hand for clearing the ground of every obstruction and building lives of obedience into maturity.
—II Corinthians 10:3-6 The Message
Notice that the world is unprincipled. It has very few morals and values. The world is under the power and influence of the evil one. He is our enemy, and he is the one that we use these weapons on. We are in a spiritual battle that requires spiritual weapons. Our weapons include the Word of God. The Blood of Jesus. The Name of Jesus. The Holy Spirit. The whole armor of God. I could go on and on. God did not have armor made for us. He gave us His armor. He gave us His Word. He gave us the same items that He uses; the only difference is that He knows how to use all His arsenal. We are getting there. As we continue to be doers of the Word, we will become more skillful in the things of God. We will experience more victories. We will walk out this life as more than conquerors the way God always intended for us to be.
