The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 2 Corinthians 10:4
If you want to walk in all the blessings of God, you need to know how to use spiritual weapons.
Today’s verse speaks of these weapons, but it’s really talking about renewing your mind. You see, if you don’t develop the right beliefs from God’s Word, you are susceptible to believing the enemy’s lies. And here’s what’s interesting. When you’re in a crisis, those deep-down beliefs come out.
When there are only seconds left in the game, many players fold under the pressure. But there’s a percentage of players who seem to bring out their A game when the pressure is on. There’s a belief deep within them, and because of it, they rise up and play their best.
The same is true for Christians. When financial pressure hits, sickness pushes in, or relationships begin to fall apart, that’s when your deepest beliefs rise up. This is why meditating on God’s Word is so special. Then, when the pressure is on, it’s like someone squeezing a squirt bottle—whatever is inside is what comes out, and what’s inside of you is the right beliefs that cause you to overcome.
When talking about Spirit Contemporary, it’s important to realize that we’re not just talking about knowing how to relate to people. That’s important if we want to succeed and influence others for Christ, but that’s not all there is to it.
Spirit Contemporary is also about renewing your mind in God’s Word every day, because this is essential if you want to experience more of God’s blessings in every area of your life.
